Frenkie de Jong

[FinBarcelonafan]

The only player with decent qualities but he obviously needs better player to surround him
Get rid of busquets and play him there

Not even sure if that's the case anymore. He is just a guy who runs a lot but doesn't do much. Bigger GAVI (at 17).

De Jong is brillant last season. This season he is still Barca best player. His clasico games are very poor though.

id sell him ngl

play pedri busquets gavi

call it a day and save 80m and 400k a week on wages

Indeed, he doesn't really deserve his mega contract. Leaning towards cashing in on him as well.

 

[Givenchy]

He's nowhere near the player people hyped him up to be but no doubt he'd do better in a functioning team. only thing I can think of to improve the situation is giving ten Hag the job but seems Newcastle might get him

 

[JamDav1982]

Cant see Ten Haag going to Newcastle.

The coaches job after this would be the big one.

Either get Ten Hag in or sell Frenkie. No point having a system player that cost 70m playing in the wrong system. He was just objectively bad today too in all honesty. Loose passes gifting them a dangerous chance. Shocking performance. Should be benched.

Sadly we have no bench to bench him. SEriously zero options.

I'm not sure it's that. I think many talents from the Eredivisie tend to be early bloomers that don't improve much at all. Look at De Ligt. They said he was the potential best CB in the world and what do you know, he's not even a top CB in Italy..

The same Frenkie in a strong team like City would be something else

 

[serghei]

He was a disaster in the 2nd half IMO. But it's clear he is used as a jack of all trades that runs around trying to do stuff. He basically has no position.

De Jong does not get in the City team, I know that seems like a shock for some but their midfield is just fine. The next coach must be a type to improve players and help him develop his game more. Otherwise you may as well cash in.

 

[Nazario1985]

He is no jack or anything.

He nearly gave a free goal to RM trying a stupid dribble. and through the whole match HAD zero idea how to move the ball forward unless Alba shout at him to give him the ball.

That's probably the best midfield in the world, and he'd probably get in after 1 year working with Guardiola. Wouldn't walk in it right away though, I agree.

 

[Messigician]

he is fkn shit

we have declined in dominating games since de fraud replaced rakitic

 

[Nazario1985]

NO WAY Pep will keep with FDJ bullshit, if you can't move the ball forward and score if given the chance you have ZERO utility for Guardiola.

And you have to point a gun to pep's head to spend 70m for a player who can't do anything good for him.
