I don't want him but mainly out of spite to Barca
Not sure if he's an adequate replacement for Jason Heyward in the cubs' outfield tbh.
If his ball play is as good as some say, we need a new Fabregas, i think ultimately that would have helped Timo as well

How is that spiting Barca? You'd be doing them a massive favour
"Personally I would definitely take him as I think he improves the side, he does all the stuff I like from jorginho without the physical set backs."
Interesting you draw parallels with Jorginho, when they are quite different in playing style.
The profile of player De Jong is...we already have in Kovacic, Loftus-cheek and newly signed Chuka.
Excellent press-resistance ball-carriers that thrive on carrying and dribbling possession from deep into the final third.
I don't see any worth in buying him, when you've got them at the club.
De Jong would be an expensive vanity signing.

Doing Barca a favour by not wanting him/leaving him at Barca? They need to get rid, otherwise their shiny new toys can't play
This would potentially be quite embarrassing for Ten Hag.

Someone would be doing them a favour if they took him off their hands for a good price.
Imagine if they took Christensen from us for free, nabbed his potential replacement as well (plus an attacker we wanted), but also got us to help him balance out their squad & potentially register all these guys. We might as well give each of their directors a blowie for good measure

Ah I mis-read it. Yeah that makes sense
We get so excited when told that FDJ reported that he prefers Chelsea over ManU. But imo he really wants to stay at Barca 9/10. Chelsea pref is 3/10 because of ECL and London. ManU pref 1/10. So in reality we are low second choice. How endearing is that? Likely hood: He remains at Barca unless something truly dramatic happens....
I don't think he is coming.

Barca have just leveraged another 85m so their shiny new toys can play, I think De Jong stays at Barca ot stays at La Liga
Not really required, it's the one area of the pitch we we have plenty of options and it would hold back Gallagher.
Much rather he stay where he is and remain a yoke around the Catalans neck!

I do think we need to replace Kante and Jorghi though.
