He gets better everytime I watch him. An absolute gem and is on his way to become one of the best players in this generation.
Frenkie de Jong| Off to Barca - Confirmed

He plays for PSV after playing for Heerenveen last season. He lacks some technical ability but he has strenght, speed, power and a very good mentality. He wont be the next Dani Alves but has the potential to be a decent RB.
The real deal.
Hopefully, we have a new coach that will appreciate this type of player.
I really really hope people on here don’t get it into their head he might actually come to United. Not a chance I’m afraid 
Maybe Woodward should just do the bloody obvious and pretend he is a director of football for a change. Chuck 80milion at them immediately and get the talent we need on the books.
So this is twice the French world champions with their star midfield set out to neutralise De Jong and find the answer, and it didn't work out, lol. Griezmann, Pogba, Kanté, they tried. Frenkie snickered.
Pogba didn't play but de Jong was very impressive.
This is a brilliant analysis of de jong and what he would bring to the table. https://www.optasportspro.com/about/optapro-blog/posts/2018/blog-de-jong-on-song/mbuBlogsyPost
Next time, watch the game before you post...
I know, I was referring to the solution they tried to find in the first game.
I followed him briefly at Willem II before he was poached by Ajax. I've been saying for a while now that we need to go big on this guy. I also hope Willem II get a cut of the transfer fee due to the superb job they did in developing the player..
Would have been interesting to see de Jong vs Pogba.
I love to he does nothing special yet he does it perfectly.
As the great Cruyff said: "playing football is very simple. But playing simple football is the hardest thing there is".

I think that is obvious that he will be Busquets replacement at Barça
Nailed on to city or Barcelona I’m afraid
What a player! He's sublime! Pure class!
First time I've watched him properly. I was impressed.
Looks like there are some nice talents emerging in the Dutch national team. Hope we get in on the act and snap a couple up.
Seems a special talent. Would be sickening of City got him.
He's going to replace Fernandinho isnt he? you can just tell this is the perfect player for Guardiola.
He'd prefer to go to Barcelona though. City could offer more money and Guardiola but Barca have a special appeal.
While that maybe true, he'd be competing with Busquets, and they're probably too similar to play together.
I think he'd be promised first team choice at City, but let's hope not!.
I just hope we get a more progressive manager and can start targeting talents like this instead. Give me a De Jong over Matic any day of the week.
One of those rare players who is pure intelligence and technique who doesn’t need the physical side of the game because he has the game all mapped out in his head. Definitely not a Mourinho player then.
He will probably go Barca or City. If I was Liverpool or Chelsea I’d be doing all I can to grab him though as he would probably get more playing time there and run the show for them.

Have seen very little. But looks absolute class.
If he ends up at City, he will do another David Silva type of impact on class and longevity for them. He is so fecking smooth and calm the way he plays.
I was pretty sure that him and De Ligt are world class players in the making from seeing them for Ajax and their recent NT performances are only underlining it, only injuries can stop that.

Because Mourinho didn't specifically bring in Fabregas to take Chelsea to the next level? He didn't take a punt on Nuri Sahin at Real and then later brought in Modric? He didn't bring Sneijder to Inter either I guess because he was too busy stacking his team with body builders.
Mourinho can go feck himself for all I care at this point in time, but this type of criticism is genuinely pathetic because it's simply factually incorrect.
That pass to Memphis in minute 79 made my night yesterday
Ahahah, yeah, when he had the ball for like 2-3 seconds unmarked, turned around a couple times and was just visibly waiting for someone to make a runThat pass to Memphis in minute 79 made my night yesterday
i was even yelling it at the tvBecause Mourinho didn't specifically bring in Fabregas to take Chelsea to the next level? He didn't take a punt on Nuri Sahin at Real and then later brought in Modric?

He is not a Mourinho player, not in a million years.
Then maybe it's time Mourinho starts adapting his coaching style.
The sad thing is not only would we be well down his list of clubs he'd want to join is we'd probably buy a 33 year old Modric for twice the price before even looking at him.
This guy at 21 would already improve our team.

Do you think Barcelona is willing to pay the money Ajax is going to ask? I think they will go for De Ligt since Pique is reaching the end of his career and they aren't going to pay for both De Ligt and De Jong
Agreed. Barca will need all their funds to buy De Ligt. A CD is what the really need.
They won't have enough money to buy De Jong too. Think he will end up at City.
Sure they won the World Cup, but you guys won the Frenkie De Jong individual battle in a friendly and UEFA nations league match.
Not sure I agree with this narrative! On paper Modric 'wouldn't be a Mourinho player' but it didn't stop him getting picked week in week out! He actually looks pretty physical to me too!
Ouch, touchy
Hey man give us some slack, we didn't make the last European and World Cup, allow us to find some joy in beating the prior two world champions.De Jong and Neves are two players I would love us to get. We need more smart midfielders.
Would we have had a better chance if LVG was managing us still?
