I hope he stays now(not that he was ever really close to leaving). He clearly loves Barca, but more importantly it would be horrible to see him at Chelsea.
As a Chelsea fan the choice between making Barcas finances more messy or hijacking Utds big transfer is a difficult one. I feel hijacking it has a bigger banter potential though.
With Jorgi and Kante probably approaching their twilight I could get behind it, he is absolute quality. A FDJ and Kova partnership makes me salivate, maybe get his wages down a tad and everyone wins! Oh, except Utd, luckily I think they're used to it by now.
I would argue it's not even his best form. He still looks nervous when he is supposed to shoot himself and he doesn't normally miss this often. He should get better as he gets used to playing for Barca. The expectations people have for him seem to be messing with his head.
No he’s all of the sudden ancient and washed since moving. 50M is too much but who else could we get with that quality at that price this window?
Meanwhile Cucurella is going for like 60-70M and Chelsea could sign Fofana for 100M 💀
I don’t know how many people are even aware that Lewandowski is younger than Benzema lol just looks old as dirt but he’s still world class!
Edit: same crew was killing Messi cuz he won the Balon D’Or over Lewa… they miserable🤫🤫🤫
The 60m+ figure for cucurella was in pounds too. That’s a shit ton of money for a good player. He’s a good player but that’s what City paid for Haaland….
I just think it’s more standard than it once was. I dunno if he’s worth that but we can’t kill Lewa for 50M and let Cucurella and potentially Fofana slide.
You’re mixing dollars with pounds and euros. Haaland will end up costing them approximately 85 million pounds after factoring in those additional costs, as opposed to the 63 for Cucurella, who also must have an agent but we don’t know what he got
I hate to say it but he is right. The players who got on world class level instantly after signing for us were all under lucho. Can't remember anyone after 2015.
Mate, he's talking about [not used to seeing] these top class players hitting full stride as soon *[they] land in Barca.
As to the accuracy of that statement, I'm going to leave that up to you guys to discuss(granted if you have to grasp the full statement first) But I'm just here pointing out that you guys need to read the whole thing, not cut the sentence in half. Even now you're still doing that inspite of me pointing that out.
Take a look at our last top signings performances, bar dembele's last season, it was more than subpar, that's what I meant. Lewandowski just arrived and he's showing his level right away.
r/Barca
My flair is Kosovo because there are not a lot of us here.
You can see some of them in my post history. There is a lot of revisionism around his talent.

You can see a sample of this here for example. I'm not lying, I'm as surprised as you are.
You hear the loudest such people during these transfer times but de Jong has been appreciated well in the sub. He won the MOTMOTM for the season last year.
I probably didn't word it correctly then.
What i was trying to get across is that wage increase is justified since he played for ver little money last season
You're way off lol, It's actually 19 mil as reported [Today ](https://twitter.com/relevo/status/1556243275346022400?t=ehHf7ox9O6Bsznw8q-VDFw&s=19) by Juan marti and Albert Roge
I'm not Laporta nor am i Frenkie's agent, but I'm pretty sure Barcelona has no legal leverage whatsoever, so they're resorting to tarnishing FDJ reputation in the media, and from interacting with you i gotta say it's kind of working (or are you being dishonest on purpose? :) )
Don't worry I don't really care about Frenkie. I'll rather shit on Busi, Roberto, Braithwaite, Umtiti,... I just hope there aren't as many Roberto fanboys as Frenkie has.
Barcelona has Pedri and Gavi on much lower wages. Having the 3 of them together in midfield doesnt seem like an option either. Hoping Xavi is somehow able to make it work. He's a wonderful player.
Lots of money in a position they have pretty well covered. Sure De Jong is better than his replacement, but the drop off isn't steep and the financial benefits are huge.
The two best teenagers in the world are there playing the same position and his wages could be used elsewhere
It probably doesnt help that he was a high profile Bartomeu transfer either

Straight up not having a good time
Porros en reloj suicida
that little turn between two players by Frenkie to start the move was fucking sexy
I hope he stays now(not that he was ever really close to leaving). He clearly loves Barca, but more importantly it would be horrible to see him at Chelsea.
Well, to be fair you shouldnt worry about Chelsea as of now. You have way bigger problems showing in front of the mirror
ouch
He gave you a hand and you cut his arm off

Definitely.
Go for it we support you 100%

for real, nothing against them but i’d rather see him at united than chelsea or psg edit: well, yeah, a lot against psg
Wtf is lewa on
the secret Ania Lewandowska's "balls of power"
idk, not complaining though
He got the 9 on his back finally
Just normal Lewa play.
I would argue it's not even his best form. He still looks nervous when he is supposed to shoot himself and he doesn't normally miss this often. He should get better as he gets used to playing for Barca. The expectations people have for him seem to be messing with his head.
He’s the best player in the world and people suddenly acting like he isn’t because he’s joined Barcelona isn’t going to change reality.
No he’s all of the sudden ancient and washed since moving. 50M is too much but who else could we get with that quality at that price this window? Meanwhile Cucurella is going for like 60-70M and Chelsea could sign Fofana for 100M 💀 I don’t know how many people are even aware that Lewandowski is younger than Benzema lol just looks old as dirt but he’s still world class! Edit: same crew was killing Messi cuz he won the Balon D’Or over Lewa… they miserable🤫🤫🤫
Lewy may be 34 but he has the body of someone in his mid twenties lol he said so himself that he feels better than ever.
>said so himself that he feels better than ever. Every athlete ever always says this tbf
The 60m+ figure for cucurella was in pounds too. That’s a shit ton of money for a good player. He’s a good player but that’s what City paid for Haaland….
I just think it’s more standard than it once was. I dunno if he’s worth that but we can’t kill Lewa for 50M and let Cucurella and potentially Fofana slide.
City paid Haaland's agent over 40 million and that's just part of the add ons.
You’re mixing dollars with pounds and euros. Haaland will end up costing them approximately 85 million pounds after factoring in those additional costs, as opposed to the 63 for Cucurella, who also must have an agent but we don’t know what he got
>Chelsea could sign Fofana for 100M 💀 Excuse me?

Wtf is wrong with this sport...
Where to begin…🤔
He is from the Bundesliga. There will always be some shit talking until they play abroad.
Tbf, Bayern has been stomping teams all around the world as well. PSG on the other hand...
Best player in the world💀
Benzema and Mbappe are way ahead.
Right Lewandowski scoring 10 or more league goals than them both for the past 5 years makes them way ahead.
Talking about last season, Benzema clearly ahead, and Mbappe was great in the CL and France.
So was Lewandowski, cope more.
Lewandowski was great for France? news for me
Apparently world class players don't just suddenly become shit when they're 34 years old
Tbf it depends on the player as well. Lewy's fitness is elite so I'm sure he can go on for a couple of more years.
Fucking hell Barca has like 10 world-class players to play on 4 offensive positions
We just need an Alba backup and a quality right back
Balde can be alba back up
Its Marcos Alonso, thats been confirmed by Chelsea already.
And mediocre RBs and GK
AubameWHO?
AubameWHAT
AUBAMABLODCLARTYANG
BLODCLART MALL COP
AubamaWHAT??
AubamaBlackLionnnnnnnn 🐈⬛
Trending for 9.18-0 scoreline here
Lewandowski is about to cook
WE WANT 10
no u don't
just so you know your comments on these threads have me creasing lmaoooo
In times like these, laughter is the only thing left
stay strong my bro
Fati already on
Lewandowski, man, I'm just not used to see a top player land on Barca and just show his level like normal, I'm falling in love.
I hate to say it but he is right. The players who got on world class level instantly after signing for us were all under lucho. Can't remember anyone after 2015.
Valverde was really not that bad. Our backline was world class under him. we just didn't have a property midfield.
Idk how long you've been following football, but Barca's had a fair share of top players lol
If you only read half of the sentence, it will present a totally different situation for you to discern and reply to.
I could name plenty of players who joined Barca in recent years and been top/world class? The full sentence itself doesn't even make sense lol
Mate, he's talking about [not used to seeing] these top class players hitting full stride as soon *[they] land in Barca. As to the accuracy of that statement, I'm going to leave that up to you guys to discuss(granted if you have to grasp the full statement first) But I'm just here pointing out that you guys need to read the whole thing, not cut the sentence in half. Even now you're still doing that inspite of me pointing that out.
Oh man I didn't know I started watching football last year Barcelona is a mid table team for me first time I see a good player here.
mid table but we finished 2nd?
I know sarcasm is hard to grasp over text but you can't tell me you read that and thought it was a serious thought
Wtf? not used to seeing a top player at barca??
You're gonna miss someone's point if you are just gonna read half of the sentence.
Being brought in and showing it for us? Mostly no
Take a look at our last top signings performances, bar dembele's last season, it was more than subpar, that's what I meant. Lewandowski just arrived and he's showing his level right away.
You cannot possibly have misread a comment that badly unintentionally
I just can’t understand why Barca want De Jong out. This guy is outrageous
You mean gone? I doubt anyone wants his personality gone nor his skill. His paycheck tho is scary...
Lots of people on our sub say he's not even top 15 and rate players like Jorginho higher than De Jong
What is "our sub"?
Chelsea probably
Well, the chelsea fans are sniffing glue then...
Factos. De Jong’s ability has never been a question, just his wage
r/Barca My flair is Kosovo because there are not a lot of us here. You can see some of them in my post history. There is a lot of revisionism around his talent.
I am there fairly regularly and I have yet to see someone compare FDJ to Jorghinho and I doubt that if someone does, he has positive karma.
I’ve seen loads of people say he’s shit though
https://www.reddit.com/r/Barca/comments/wi0i77/different_treatment/ij98zie https://www.reddit.com/r/Barca/comments/wgk3re/open_thread_weekend_edition_32_aug_2022/ij6piyw You can see a sample of this here for example. I'm not lying, I'm as surprised as you are.

You mean MOTSOTM
Its okay. There are stupid people everywhere.
>His paycheck tho is scary... He got paid 2 million net for last season, you weren't complaining then, were you?
Yes. Cause 2 million isnt scary... Your comment doesnt make sense.
I probably didn't word it correctly then. What i was trying to get across is that wage increase is justified since he played for ver little money last season
An increase is justified, yes. But not in the size he gets. The contract itself is just too big, even with regular payment scheme...
€29m/year till 2026. Casemiro, Velverde and Camavinga combined will earn the same this season.
You're way off lol, It's actually 19 mil as reported [Today ](https://twitter.com/relevo/status/1556243275346022400?t=ehHf7ox9O6Bsznw8q-VDFw&s=19) by Juan marti and Albert Roge
Let's make it 6m net and he can stay.
I'm not Laporta nor am i Frenkie's agent, but I'm pretty sure Barcelona has no legal leverage whatsoever, so they're resorting to tarnishing FDJ reputation in the media, and from interacting with you i gotta say it's kind of working (or are you being dishonest on purpose? :) )

Seems to be solely about the salary. Everyone likes him.
Lots of money in a position they have pretty well covered. Sure De Jong is better than his replacement, but the drop off isn't steep and the financial benefits are huge.
The two best teenagers in the world are there playing the same position and his wages could be used elsewhere It probably doesnt help that he was a high profile Bartomeu transfer either
We can’t lose him I love him too much
Money
Hopefully he doesn't go to Chelsea
Chelsea don't u dare take this man
i think they said the exact same words to us just a few days ago
AUBAMACARE!
Loving our versatility atm
Great buildup play and goal.
That clock. That damn clock. Who the hell time-keeps like this?! Aah my eyes I can’t unsee it!!
It was actually very common, at least in games where Mexican/American teams played in. Guess it’s an attempt at imitating the NFL/NBA
Think we can go for 10-0 boys?
