Having de Jong and Eriksen in the midfield will transform the team completely. In McFred we have a cowardly midfield that does not show for the ball and forces our defence to use our full-backs, who are terrible, to play out from the back.
Frenkie de Jong | The last muppeting lap

Shit. Another zombie tweet.
Barcelona have agreed a fee with Leeds for Raphinha, per Romano. Looks like they've found some money somewhere 
I'll be fuming if we paid the money Barca promised De Jong.
We'd effectively be paying for the work he's done the past 2-3 seasons he had with Barcelona.
I'd rather we walk away if that's what it'll take. He can stay there at his "dream club" and deal with them for the next few seasons.

It’s crashed it for me too - I’ll delete it and see if that helps.
Good camera angle. They didn't show what's below him. He was stomping his own contract.
@Fanta Stick, please delete that tweet - it’s causing the thread to crash for some of us. I can’t delete it because your post won’t load for me. Thanks.
Yes yes yes
None of those players would be joining a manager they have played with previously and have a great connnection with though, and a manager where the player enjoyed his best football in a position he likes best but doesn’t get to play at Barça.
So you’d have to believe ETH and de Jong haven’t spoken about this multiple times, despite having an excellent relationship.
For what it’s worth, Raphinha’s priority is Barca, but Arsenal have bid in the hope that falls through due to Barça’s financial situation. If it does, you can be sure he’ll be interested in Arsenal and Chelsea. Just as de Jong’s priority is to stay and get paid at Barça, but if not possible, it’s clear his next priority is to join ETH.
Newcastle are like City after the takeover, just taking pot shots left right and centre, if they get lucky, maybe they will get a Robinho, thinking he’s joining United and then realising after signing that there is more than one “United” in the league.
Is that more than the verbal figure reported a few weeks ago?
If so looks like we’re picking up Barca’s tab for the money they owe Frenkie.

No doubt that Polo cnut will be along shortly to pour cold water over it and we’ll be back to square one.
Double Polo
These feckers really want De Jong off the books don’t they?
He will always maintain a position that he doesn't want to leave, until contract issue with barca is sorted out. Imagine he says he wants to leave. That would weakened his negotiation position with Barca. If I were him I will always say I don't want to leave, it's you pushing me out so pay up my dues.
All we need now is a lunch meeting between Arnold, Murtough, Laporta and Xavi before the deal is finally signed off.
De Jong dribbles and turns better than de Bruyne. De Bruyne has better passing and crossing although De Jong is decent in that aspect.
KdB is more of a goal threat, while Frenkie connects defense and midfield. Different players really.
Could see those three happening, however with Ronaldo situation up in the air still think signing a forward is 50/50
I don't see that making any difference as legally surely he is entitled to his deferred salary whatever his stance is on leaving?
De Jong can do more than dribble as I already said.
I thought you wrote rejections
I suppose one more bump of muppetry wont kill me!
Weird tribute to be fair.
Yeah don’t think the KDB comp is fair too. Think of a Carrick for example who can dribble, that would be pretty close to who FDJ is.
He wasn't ready for Murtough madness
I'm going between the toes at this point.My veins can't take any more injections
Well they changed their tune very quickly didn't they... have Barca been telling them what to say again
No worries, you weren't to know! Thank you.
Yeah but I haven't seen him strike the ball well.
This even looks a bit like Frenkie
This should be threadmarked as a summary of the last 2 months
This post didn't get the love that it deserves....
Can’t wait for all these pro-Barcelona journalists who have been doing everything they can push the narrative that De Jong won’t move from them to Utd to be silenced.
Saying that, Frenkie could be papped at getting off the plane in Manchester and they’ll still probably being tweeting stuff like:
“De Jong has flown to Manchester to inform the Utd hierarchy of his intentions to stay at his dream club Barcelona”
