just had easily the worst match of his career
The fact it happened against Bayern in the CL and Ajax still compensated for it tells me more than him fecking it up and losing majorly to some second rate Eredivisie team.just had easily the worst match of his career
Blind " Dont sign for United,mate. They currently suck-balls"
Frenkie De Jong with another poor game you say? His value is gonna go down at this rate..Poor game from Frenkie against Roda in the cup. Baffling how bad Ajax were today. Went through on penalties in the end though.
Absolutely none of the guys who rate Frenkie De Jong and want their club to spend 75M+ on him actually watch him play so don't worry It's fine.Frenkie De Jong with another poor game you say? His value is gonna go down at this rate..
Frenkie de Jong might possibly be the nicest kid in world football. How do you come away with thinking he's a pricktypical prick of a young dutch fella... lovely player to watch though
was only only thinking yesterday watching ole's united how much we would benefit from a serious play maker inthat deep space. Some games would of course still call for an anchor but I think we could introduce players like this into this united team and see a big difference
haha i cant speak dutch he just reminded me of all those tall 18 year old wierdos wandering around europe with big back packs ! sexy bastardsFrenkie de Jong might possibly be the nicest kid in world football. How do you come away with thinking he's a prick
Ah in that case, I guess his face may seem smug. He's a nice kid though and me saying this says a lot because Ajax is pretty much my Liverpoolhaha i cant speak dutch he just reminded me of all those tall 18 year old wierdos wandering around europe with big back packs ! sexy bastards
I'm from Amsterdam, I even visit Ajax's academy games sometimes, you don't have to explain me about these players. It's easy to say now in hindsight that Fosu-Mensah isn't on their level, but he was regarded just as big a talent as De Ligt when he was 16, excelled both for Ajax and Dutch national youth teams at that time, Ajax were very unhappy to see him go. Frenkie de Jong wasn't even regarded that big a talent yet at 18, there's a reason why he played for Willem II that long and didn't really have his break through into the first team of Ajax until he was 20. So again, it's easy for you now to say that Fosu-Mensah isn't on his level, but De Jong wasn't even regarded anywhere near his level when Fosu-Mensah joined United and that when De Jong is older. There's no doubt in my mind that Fosu-Mensah would be in a much better place right now if he'd taken a similar route to De Ligt, and you might've ended up saying that we should have signed him when he was 16 instead.
Regarding Ajax turning down a fee, it's not just about the club. Most talented Ajax youth players get the chance to leave Ajax, just like Fosu-Mensah they get offers from big European clubs when they're 15-16. But many choose to stay because they know it's good for their development. Not to mention the impact it has on their lifes and families, at that age it isn't just the player that has to move to another country and leave everything behind either, their family or at least a parent often does too. And the Premier League isn't really seen here as a great move for a Dutch youth player, it's seen as risky, some even say it's where Dutch youth talent goes to die.
Today Ajax released a video they showed to the young players last season, in an attempt to keep them at the club. It worked.
I would agree he isn't ready to be main driver from midfield at the moment, but give him 6 months at ot he'll be world class.De Jong isn't good enough for United right now and I expect him to have a very hard time no matter where he moves.

I've watched enough of him really, he doesn't stand out nearly eough in the Eredivisie to succeed after such a big move, I'd take about 5 other Eredivisie players before thinking of him.haha. So, so wrong.

Is he another Odegaard?
Bouhafsi said we're interested a while ago but the more serious links have been with City/Barca/PSG.Have we been even remotely linked with him? I just see wishful posts about the lad.

He looks promising and some of his highlights I've seen (only 4 or 5, not gonna pretend I'm an expert) he looks impressive given his age. But in this internet age everyone think they're experts are vasty over rating young players and De Jong is no different.
In such a competitive market in modern football every club want the next big thing and end up almost gambling massive money on players. De Jong has shown nothing outside of Holland apart from that 1 good international friendly.
At the moment, he's vasty overrated. De Ligt to me looks twice the player albeit different positions. Of course that's not to say De Jong is bad or won't end up world class.

Saw 4 or 5 highlights, nevertheless is an expert on judging De Jong and considers him overrated, while simultaneous complaining about internet age experts. Yeah.
He's 21, playing in the a 7th or 8th rated league. Huge potential maybe but all you have to do is read some comments on this thread that are severally overrating his current ability. Like he can just walk into a Barcelona midfield.
