I can’t imagine Jordi would push Frenkie to United either. Especially with his disappointing four years at United.
English premier league is tough fast , and hard, many players don't want to move there.
He was Owed millions in wages it's that simple. I don't even want him now anyway.
I can't imagine seeing De jong play for those Manc rats Manchester United 😂
Frenkie 🧠❤️🤍 salam hangat dari fanaticus Indonesia 🇮🇩
Would much rather hear from Frenkie as to why he didn’t join Man U. Not this guy. Smh
I guess to be a great sporting director you have to be an alchemist
Last
finished player and club.
His performance forced Xavi to start him
Cover it up all you can, but the only reason FDJ never left is FDJ himself. Barca should be thoroughly embarrassed with their conduct of actively hounding out players this past summer, instead of being proud of their "economic levers" i.e. selling out their future
Cannot believe Joe Cole is now Barca's Sporting Director???
Frenkie should've left, now he's injured for the first time in yearssss
Well this was a pointless interview….
Just goes to show. Barcelona talk to players not the clubs. Breaking rules again.
Reporter : So what are the goals this year?
Jordi: So there was the big bang , the universe began ….
Did anyone get a direct answer? Cause I didn't!
It's good see Barca with a proper and working structure that allows them to make decisions in the best interest of the club
Did anyone eles miss the bit about why frankie didn't go? Absolutely pointless waste of 5 mins of my life
imo this is de jongs last season to prove he can play in that mid. if he doesnt then im more htan happy to see him go
When something doesnt happen 1/3, 2/3 or 3/3 it just doesn't gel together.
Thanks for clearing that up then pal 👍 was lost otherwise 🙄
This was such a puff piece for barca, interviewer didn't even touch on the fact he wanted to cut the pay of most of Barcelona's star players and was readily selling players due to liquidation issues.
Very Political answer, meaning he said nothing. He never answered the question as to Why Frenkie didn't leave Barca this summer. What he did was state how transfers generally work. It takes three to agree and sometimes it's one or two or all three that don't agree. That's not an answer that's an explanation of a process. De Jong didn't leave Barca because he didn't want to leave ,that's a fact. He said it many times. One question that wasn't asked was…. if, as Cruyff states, it takes three to agree, why did Barca agree to sell the player. The whole thing didn't pass the smell test. Barca agree to sell the player with another club, when that didn't happen they insisted the player had to take a pay cut if he was to stay. The player then insisted he was not going to take any cut in pay. Now everyone seems happy. Another question I would like to know is this…..is DeJong getting his full salary this year or did he take a pay cut as Barca stated he had to do.
Money. Period.
Useless journalism. Cant get an answer out of a reticent guest.
Not everyone can play in the premier league I think Manchester United should leave him, he might flop at Manchester United I can see his reason
Don’t want frenkie at United let him suffer
Madrid's going to win everything again anyway 🤷🏾♂️
His answer shows that Barcelona does not respect De jong…. he deserves better
I think it’s because FDJ has a lucrative sideline going in Barcelona as a Macaulay Culkin lookalike.
Good gig
How can he say he likes it when people get excited when Barca come calling but don't accept a deal.. That makes no sense. Clearly they wern't that excited then 🤡
1:17 didn't know Gunther was a part of the Dutch National Team
Kane isn't a legend, hasn't even won a trophy….
