Best defender never to win the CL. I'm sure that European Cup with Italy takes the sting off it though. Incredible career he's had.

The problem is Rashford is average player who is hyped because he is English. He has been very poor and one of the main reasons we are here at #6 with no UCL. Time to clear out the deadwood.
Nah, he's good. He just hasn't been a good fit for Barcelona, and since they've spent a ton of money on other signings, they're okay with letting Frenkie de Jong go to make up for those costs.
If I have a son, I'm going to call him Moussa Sissoko Dembele.
He'll be half Irish, half Singaporean and all his grandparents will hate it, but I don't care - his chances of playing professional football will be roughly 480,000 times higher.
Throw in a Koulibaly/Traore or Toure and he’ll be a dead cert.
Thanks to @mu4c_20le from the Frenkie de Jong thread:
He's another reliable journalist who reports on Barcelona.

Good call. His middle name will be Traore.
There's definitely still a player there.
First English insight on the de Jong situation:
As expected.
Assistant to McLaren at Twente, assistant to Stevens and Nagelsmann at Hoffenheim, assistant to Ten Hag at Ajax and then assistant to Koeman at Barca. I'd say his coaching experience is well rounded.
Fabio Cannavaaro
Lilian Thuram
Laurent Blanc
Gianluca Zambrotta
Depends how much you rate them but anyone out of the four better ?
This makes sense; Barcelona are willing to sell him despite the player himself stating multiple times that he wants to stay at Barcelona for a long time. I guess this means that we haven't necessarily convinced de Jong to join us.
I dont think is only up to Ten Hag to get Rashford firing again, the player himself must demonstrate hunger and will to improve. I think it sends a terrible message to be talking about contract renewals with a player that has had a terrible year, specially with a new mananger incoming.
Let Ten Hag arrive, judge Rashford and let him earn that renovation. Lets set the bar higher for our players, worst case scenario Rashford has a wonderful season and we must negotiate with him with the risk of him leaving for free. Do you really think he's going to find many teams that can pay him what he currently earns? I doubt it.
Another scenario is we renew him, he feels untouchable, I mean having a shit year and still getting a new contract who wouldnt? he keeps his awful form and we're stucked with another overpaid underachieving player.
That’s a heck of a 5%!
Yeah, this is a fairy tale. Can't believe people could actually believe this
I know nothing of his reliability but he’s always the first to deny stories. Gets a huge buzz from giving the negative news. Probably masturbates over peoples sadness

Higher chance he would become bang average footballer, might win one big trophies though.
‘weighing up a potential move’
Not exactly the same as 95% done.
Guys this is never happening, trust me.
Frenkie would only leave if Barca forced him, which they can’t.
Roque Jr was better than them all.
Roque junior won the champions league with Milan. So doesn’t matter he is better or not.
Not done 'till it's done.
Can't they? They have forced out multiple players over the years. They show nothing but disregard for players. Just look at the rhetoric around Dembele in January.
The same way budgets always work. You don't pay the whole fee up front unless absolutely forced to by the selling club.
Then we may get the 6 players we need this summer. ??
Cue a top 4 team swooping in for him then.
Looks like there is actually some meat to the Haller rumors.
Sounds like we have found a saga already
Ziyech too?
We got Pogba the year we qualified for Europa league. Maybe ETH makes the difference.
Oriol Domenech on Romero's twitch stream saying ETH wants De Ligt too!
And Donny's coming back too, don't forget.Get the band back together. By that I mean Schöne too
