85m seems very high given the player and circumstances…

That’ll be €85 million including add ons which I believe is £72 million so that’d be £55 million plus £17 million in add ons which was stated as the agreed fee between the clubs a couple of weeks ago, any time it’s United we always see reports of the total fee or wages seem to be included in the total outlay.
 
The barca forum is a great read.

One of their posters thinks redcafe is having a meltdown :lol:

He got some comforting likes from fellow posters :lol:

They are obsessed with Bernardo as a replacement in that thread. They are going to be in for a shock when they realise Bernardo plays in a totally different position. They seem to think he's going to be helping them defensively!
It was better the other day. I don't actually think they're that bothered about Frenkie.

A lot of them are actually annoyed at their club for being a bunch of bellends and making the club look bad in how they've dealt with FDJ.
 
Done deal.

Only a clown would think the remaining bit is De Jong needing convincing.

That's been sorted out a while ago. The club wouldn't waste weeks if they didn't have assurances from the player beforehand.

Great signing.

Just another one of the Top MFs that for some reason failed with Barca: Riquelme, Hleb, Fabregas, Turan, Vidal, Pjanic,etc.

Only Deco and Rakitic succeeded.

They want De Jong to play as a number 8, one of the 2 box to box midfielders in a 4-3-3. Not a player in the pivot, hence why Bernardo is a better player for that position.

just by glancing over, it does seem though that they are annoyed at their club and how they've handled this. Pretty fair and level-headed, tbh.

I don't get the idea of replacing him with Bernardo either. Completely different players for different positions ... but I guess they've never used Frenkie correctly.
 
I was wondering when Domenech was going to provide a update. And believe it or, it was Oriol Domenech who first reported about United potentially signing Frenkie in April.
I am getting bored of Romero updates, got to see another Tier 1 put their name to it.

They play a single pivot with two number 8s hence their preference for Bernardo. Busquets is their sole pivot and he's not getting dropped under Xavi. Bernardo is the better number 8 but FDJ is the better number 6.

They've had loadsss more failures too that didn't live up to expectations:

Coutinho, Dembele, Vidal, Griezmann, Pjanic, Arthur, Malcolm, Andre Gomes, Trincao
