Frenkie de Jong

[Blood on the Tracks]

If he's available clubs with more pull / bigger resources will be after him.

We have to be realistic about the stature of player we can attract at the moment. Get CL and maybe things change.

 

[MikelHadADream]

Didn't he make a comment a few years ago about how the path of progression is Ajax-Arsenal-Barca? I wonder how that would go down with Arteta.

 

[berric]

Unfortunatelty I think he's out of our price range. BUT, signing the likes of Vlahovic and De Jong would be massive, massive statement.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Hah all these people knocking signing FDJ when we rolling out Xhaka and El Neny..

What the ducks up with some of you?

Not knocking out its called being realistic and he out of our price range and his wages will put us in trouble. It's not impossible but we have alot of business to do specially fixing the depth

 

[Dennis_Bergkamp_10]

If Frenkie is available, much bigger clubs than us would be in for him.

 

[Rasmi]

Absolute nothing player. All fluff and no substance.

He is very good at keeping the ball and pass to nearest guy with perfect weight. Other than that meh.

Naaaah, you got people claiming him to be trash in here.

 

[African Flair]

No club in the word this guy ain't starting at, why come here?

His stat comparison is very similar to Melo to be honest - good at possession, dribbling and passing, weak defensively.

Lovely player though, won't happen but he's not a signing you turn your nose up at.

He underperformed at barca but he gone at time where the club is in mess he still class player and young

 

[El Duderino]

Would like to think me and @Rex Banter willed this into existance.

Journos should make it less obvious they read this forum.

 

[MikelHadADream]

Surely it's a worrying sign that he's not a bona-fide starter in this current Barcelona team? He was impressive at Ajax, but as others have mentioned none of those guys have really kicked on since leaving. He's never really stood out to me whenever I've seen him play for barca either.

You can't really complain if the club go for him because of his pedigree, but if its a choice between FDJ and Tielemens I'd think Tielemens would be the safer bet.

Where's the link?

There is none

I mean, @razörist argues that things are aligning in a way that if Arsenal secure CL and prioritise him then it's possible - he's not wrong. Football London came to a similar conclusion.

There's no link though, no.

 

[Xln]

Pipe dream.

If he comes to the Arsenal, we may actually be looking at a sexy club/team again.

FDJ is the midfielder every coach dreams of

Someone started a transfer thread because there was an article about Ian Wright "urging" the club to sign the player. A-M fell off.

"how Mikels Lá Masia connections helped convince Xavi and the player himself that Arsenal were the best destination for one of the hottest midfield prospects in Europe."Write Gunnerblog and Amy Lawrence.

 

[GoonerJeeves]

This sounds utterly unlikely, especially given his wages.

for what he will cost and earn compared to what he brings its worth turning your nose

 

[sergio_giorgini]

Frenkie I’ll be shocked if this happens.
