Vesper 30,276 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Manchester City concede defeat to Paris Saint-Germain over Ajax star Frenkie de Jong https://metro.co.uk/2019/01/21/manchester-city-concede-defeat-to-paris-saint-germain-over-ajax-star-frenkie-de-jong-8369704/ Manchester City have all but given up hope of signing Ajax midfielder Frenkie de Jong after seeing Paris Saint-Germain gazump their offer to the Dutchman, Metro.co.uk understands. Pep Guardiola had earmarked the 21-year-old as a long-term replacement for Fernandinho and the youngster’s representatives had intimated to City that the midfielder was keen on a move to the Etihad. City intensified their search for a defensive midfielder after Jorginho opted for Chelsea last summer and Guardiola had settled on pursuing de Jong after conducting a wide background check on the midfielder that included speaking to former team-mate and Netherlands boss Ronald Koeman. Barcelona appeared to pose the biggest threat to City’s chances but Paris Saint-Germain’s emergence has blown both parties out of the water with City unwilling to enter into a costly tug-of-war. City had been willing to pay around £50m for the Dutchman and pay him wages of around £100,000-a-week that would include incremental rises. However, PSG are offering closer to £200,000-a-week and City will refuse to match their offer as they cannot justify such an outlay on a relatively unproven 21-year-old. snip I see NO way Barca will match those wages either I so so wonder what that means for de Ligt, as they both wanted a package deal together PSG already have 3 superb CB's in Marquinho, Presnel Kimpembe, and Thilo Kehrer, so cant see them ALSO going for de Ligt, unless they sell one of those 3. Barca surely will now go after de Ligt with a vengeance. Pep is quickly running out of true DH DMF options Surely he goes all out for Neves or Rodri (if he can bully Atletico Madrid into selling) now. I just cannot see him rating Julian Weigl that high. Especially if Paredes moves to us (or PSG, as de Jong is far than just a DH DMF, he can play almost anywhere in the pitch save for GK and CF) I hope he stays the fuck away from Sandro Tonali This (Neves to Shitty) might be a reason for this Report: Wolves join race for £26m Celta Vigo star Stanislav Lobotka https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2019/01/21/do-report-wolves-join-race-for-26m-celta-vigo-star-stanislav-lob/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And positions we do have a backup it's for a like to like player. Nobody we could really point to and say ' bring XXXX on cause he will change the game ' Unless its bringing anyone on to replace Willian. We need several new starters and use the current lads for depth. But of course with our one out one in I can't see it as we dont even shift our deadwood. We are the wood hoarders of the PL.

Vesper 30,276 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 For most clubs, losing a star like Frenkie De Jong would be a killer. For Ajax, it's their business model http://www.espn.co.uk/soccer/blog/espn-fc-united/68/post/3757094/for-most-clubs-losing-a-star-like-frenkie-de-jong-would-be-a-killer-for-ajax-its-their-business-model great article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,887 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 What a player that boy de Jong is. Brilliant signing for Barca. Will take over from Busquets in the long run but will probably play with him as he is a multifunctional player who can play as a 6, 8 or as a CB in a back 3. Barca trying to get de Ligt as well. Another huge huge talented Dutch player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsblubot 3,595 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Jean Pyerre, 20, is still well under the radar because he's only had cameos in 18, but will likely get a lot of playing time this season at gremio. I should be able to catch a couple of libertadores matches over here. not a whole lot of footage, but his control looks pretty good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VaTW-_Kass * been hearing a lot about him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeboii 1,844 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Barca are going to have a problem with all these first team quality midfielders. If they sign Rabiot as well then they have too many to give enough playing time to them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolhead23 1,147 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 So Barca can still get one of the most sort out players in football even in the January window while we get struck to tier 2 players ... wait that the case even in the Summer window. (For me Kante was the last brilliant signing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barca should loan us a few for 4 years with an option to buy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
