Costa19 858 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 If we are really interested in De Jong, I think we have a greater chance of doing business with Barca than United have at the moment. Barca apparently owe De Jong 13m + 3.4m in salary and bonuses, which United do not want to pay (from what I read). Barca want Azpi and Alonso, which makes it possible for them to get Alonso / Azpi at a subsidized price to set off payment to De Jong, for example. Smart accounting is important for Barca in their situation right now.. Or.... we are beeing used to pressuring United 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats 7,156 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Barcelona want virtually a whole new 11. Well besides a keeper. Azpi, Kounde, Christensen (already signed), Alonso, Kessie (Already signed), Bernardo, Raphinha, Dembele and Lewandowski. Bloody greedy shits and worse thing is they still haven't registered their free players and paid of some their past and existing players and still looking to add more players...

I think he's a good Rudiger replacement, the best among the left footed options. L'Equipe saying he might move is a good sign and Tuchel knows, appreciates him too I have always been torn on him before I go further, I do not believe his listed height of 1.83m is correct, I think he is taller (which is rare, as usually the heights are artificially raised up) I would peg him at 1.85m or even 1.86m he is easily taller than Thiago and Marquinhos now...... on to my opinions One minute he can look all worldie, and the next look a bit clueless (or rash, he has a temper on him, although Rudiger proved a temper , if harnessed, is a great thing at times) Presnel is too inconsistent at times he SHOULD be a top 10 CB, as he has all the tools, but he just doesn't put it all together often enough atm perhaps he can still do so, although he turns 27 on August 13, so not a lot of time left to sort it that said I would do a dance IF he bought either of these three CB combos De Ligt and Kimpembe Škriniar and Kimpembe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand Barca in this year's market at all. Is there any explanation given for why they are in the market for Kounde, Raphinha, Lewandowski. Its not like they have awful players - they do have Auba, Dembele who wants to re-sign, in the same positions, they signed Christensen too. Why are they not using the transfer fee money to instead pay their existing players? Stats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say, Kimpembe has moments of absolute horror like when singlehandedly volleyballed PSG out of the CL vs ManUre. But him leaving is conditional on PSG signing Skriniar but I can see Kimpembe working fine alongside Silva as well. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Kante 1,643 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) What would people make of this squad after the Summer window: GK: Mendy, Kepa/GK2, Bettinelli CB: MDL, Silva, Ake, Trev, Colwill WB: James, D.Sterling, Chilwell, Emerson/Maatsen CM: Kova, Kante, FDJ, Gallagher AM: Sterling, Mount, Werner, Puli, CHO CF: Havertz, Broja Personally, I am not a fan of Ake but can see him as a obtainable player.

MoroccanBlue 5,385 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Romero is the one reporting it though, and he is Barca's correspondent. More than likely he is fabricating this rumor in order to get United to pay up for De Jong. This would then allow them to fund the Raphinha/Lewa move.

Pizy 18,985 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Would indeed be a masterclass if we could send Jorginho + cash to Juve for De Ligt and then replaced him with De Jong to reunite former Ajax teammates. Two key areas of the pitch sorted for 5 years or more. But with no English reporters corroborating this latest link it reads entirely like a Barca briefing to speed United up.
