Frenkie de Jong

What's happening
Why's it happening
What's going to happen

This is based on the people I trust on here when collating all the info we have from every side then forming this opinion thread.

Buckle up. #MUFC #Barcelona #CFC #FDJ #frenkiedejong

A thread. Let me start by stating one thing I'm not sure people know:

Do you know what (in my opinion) Frenkie De Jong (FDJ) wants to do in all of this, stay at Barcelona.

MINDBLOWN

For real though, but it's not that simple is it?

He also wants the money Barcelona are contracted to pay

Hello, I’m back.

After my viral thread that reached 5m people, a lot of them Barca fans, here I am talking about why triggering the second lever ISN’T good news, why a third could be catastrophic & why selling De Jong and Depay has to be the move.

Buckle up

A thread... What does triggering a lever mean?

Barcelona have already activated 2. There are so many different numbers quoted, so for the sake of Barca fans I’m using the best I can find in your favour (don’t say I don’t like you).

1st – 267m Euros

2nd – 400m

Total - 667m

IT'S MY OPINION that FC Barcelona are in real trouble financially, and I feel as though the footballing world isn't talking about the seriousness of their current situation enough.

We may be years away from a world without FC Barcelona.

Here's why, a thread: You can say I'm anti-Barcelona if you want, but I'd like to think I'm just pro-information, Barcelona are a few moves away from real trouble

It's 100% my opinion, but I feel as though Bartomeu is pushing the limits because he feels as though the footballing world needs the club

Barcelona currently have a fire sale on. Players worth millions would be available for free if they could agree terms with the buying club. Everyone bar Messi it seems (despite him being out of contract) and the new signings have a price, and it's super low. Messi is a club legend, but he's not budging on contract demands and it's impacting the entire club.

To put it in context if they let him go, they'd be 300k Euros in the green on wages + able to register all their new players (Aguero, Depay, Garcia...)
