But ultimately Gavi is a homegrown talent and with much more potential so a coach like Xavi will naturally give him more preference anyway.

Has this guy been linked with United?
Xavi doesn't seem to let sentiment get in the way of his decisions so I believe he'll play who believes is best suited and till the end of last season, FDJ was an integral part of the team. I do think Gavi and FDJ will be rotated and both get plenty of opportunities.
So people say but I doubt it
We’ll see when he leaves and gets his money
Apparently Chelsea offered over 100mil (factor in deferred wages) for Frenkie on deadline day. Barca then sent an offer to City for B. Silva (70mil+10) but got no response. That was the 'big surprise' Romero was banging on about. Memphis was also close to joining them and with both players being in London a few days prior..
Still, I think he should of just joined United personally. After the first 2 games he would of been correct to be cautious about ten Hag's project but you showed you mean business towards end of the window. I think United will be more attractive than Chelsea now.
He'll get his chances this season. Gavi starts currently as he's in incredible form but once that drops off, as it always does with young players, Frenkie will be back in the midfield.
how you know that it’s because of her?
Who would leave 17 millions and go play for another club? He is rich but thats giving up 1.5 years of wages. He will play alot this year, and probably leave next summer. But people criti
For all we know it could be because Barca tried to be sneaky. Who would leave 17 millions and go play for another club? He is rich but thats giving up 1.5 years of wages.

i don’t think we will go back for him.I don’t think EtH will take kindly to being messed around, he won’t want the same shenanigans again and will just target different players I think.
Not all players at Barça have significantly lowered their wages.
Frenkie’s wage is not higher than market value, so there is nothing anyone can say.
There are about five clubs who would pay him the same wages or higher.
Besides that, why would he lower his wages now after being treated like shiit by those goatfeckers?
I’d swagger in with the most expensive jewelry while singing ‘Simply the best’.
Daft cnut really, understand him leaving it late to get his money, but he’s fecked himself here & will be chomping on bench all season. Not what I expect from an ambitious footballer.
At best he gets some minutes in his lesser favoured more advanced position, has really put his career old hold at Barca.

It's a good balance. It's up to Frenkie to prove that he's better than Pedri because he's defensively nowhere as good as Busquets nor does he work as hard as Gavi.
Frenkie is an idiot. I’d rather we try for Bellingham next summer.
We will take him in a take it or leave it 10m bid and throw in AWB.
We should never consider him again.
he rather sits on the bench at a club that refuses to pay him salary than to join us, this alone is an intolerable insult to us.

Was he the player that one of our scouts did a 30 minute presentation on being not good enough? Said scout subsequently got sacked this summer
Never stay humiliated with someone in a one sided relationship whom you love, when a person who loves you is out there and willing to give you the world.
Might not make sense to your heart, but your brain will understand it.

I thought I heard similar but about…Rice
The problem is that one of our competitors will snap him up.
Well he would definitely be right about Rice. Not really sure you want to promote such an oppressive culture in your organisation though.
Massive dickhead, PSG or Bayern will probably come in for him and he can Jack off to Ronaldinho videos from those cities while being millions out of pocket.
Seemingly van gaal doesn't care what bench you're on once it's not Uniteds
If barca could find a cheap back up we might revisit this in jan.
Money is great and all, but he's at his peak years. Without regular football players lose form, and hasn't looked good coming off the bench so far this season.
I honestly think any footballer who choses money over regular football ends up losing money in the long run. This only makes sense if you're done and nobody wants you, but if you're still wanted you should always choose playing, it's a really short career to be wasted on the bench for a top footballer.

They're more than likely betting on leaving him on the bench until January so they can get rid of him.
Yeah the prices quoted for Rice is crazy.
Definitely not £100m player.
He’s getting regular game-time off the bench so I doubt it’s as simple as wanting to get rid of him in January - unless they bring in a replacement.
I mean the market has gone mad so who knows anymore.
Barca are really good at buying and further developing youth products. Pedri I think they got for 15 million only a couple of years of back. I remember they bought busquets for peanuts as well when he was 17 or 18.
I think with him a large part for not leaving or signing a new contract was simply the principle of them deferring the £17m that he had earned but agreed to defer. Perhaps he is a man of principle.
sitting on the bench for half a season might change his mind
Yeah, definitely not
Yeah I honestly believe Erik got enough encouragement to go for him so don't think he will lay blame at his door for this saga
This is definitely not all black and white, fully expecting him and Erik to have a conversation before next window if still warming bench
Frenkie would be good to rotate with Eriksen/Bruno. Right now we don't have an able replacement for Eriksen.
