Still hope you sign him. He would be fantastic for you.

In a 343?
First NL game in 14 months, but he is making such a difference..
Yes but this ship has sailed
He would be a perfect fit for the new system. We won't get him though, Barcelona will hold onto him.
Why isn’t this thread dead yet?!
Hope they will
He would be our best midfielder.
Yeah exactly, why would we need a unique and world class midfielder anyway?
No thanks. He had his chance when we came calling last time.
Let's go build a team with the best young players who've got the drive and determination to take us back to the top. I'm done with players coming here on massive contracts towards the end of their careers

He is.... 27...
I dunno. My tactical knowledge doesnt go much further than 11 players being an ideal amount.
I'm also drunk.
But mainoo has considerably more opportunity to improve than frenkie, given that he's significantly younger.
By Caf standards, he’s already cashing in his retirement cheques at 27
On a serious note, would love us to sign him if he did a de Ligt and lowered his wage demands.
I agree, but that doesn't mean having both wouldn't be great.
Agreed!
His contract expires in the summer of 26 and there’s no indication that Barcelona are keen on offering him an extension unless it provides them with a get out of jail free card considering the wages he’s owed.
How much is he still owed?
Yeah I know. It's less about his age but more about the fact that hes been on an absolutely massive contract at Barcelona and will be expecting a similar or more than likely, an even higher deal at United.
He had his chance to join us a couple of years back and that was with ETHs infatuation with buying up all his ex players.
That ship has now sailed
No idea, i think the original deferred wages was around £14mill that would be baked into his wages after a few years. I might have completely misunderstood the concept, but as far as i can gather it means that if he gets sold next season, he essentially forfeits a chunk of those deferred wages as it’s related to his current contract and not a seperate arrangement that they will fork out the exact amount he deferred.
Yes I believe you are right.
With Barcelona’s new levers, and FDJ’s partner wearing the levers in the relationship, this is about as close to impossible as it gets.
His age and and proclivity for injuries would be a major concern for any suitors, either he'll extend with Barcelona on more logical terms or he'll depart for Italy, can hardly seem him ending up in England.
So overrated. No thanks.
Gonna be 30 in just 3 years. Don't want.
Hansi Flick must have not gotten the memo then, he keeps starting Casado and Olmo over De Jong.
Thought this thread had been bumped because we were being linked with him in January....
That one is over. He killed his career a fair bit and we have moved on
Ship has sailed
Frenk off
This thread is dead. Locked unless or until any actual links occur.
