Isn’t he injury-prone these days? I’d be tempted, but we need reliability.
Yes, I would be cautious as to why such a good player is constantly being moved on by big clubs.Isn’t he injury prone these days? I’d be tempted, but we need reliability.
I would hope so or it is ETH driving the transfers again. Just what we need is another injury prone player to replace Varane.I don't see us signing de Ligt. Fairly sure we'll be in for Branthwaite.
Whether a “newbie” or not I would say the same thing. I don’t rate this manager and don’t want this manager. Sorry if that upsets you or others.Great, we need more newbies slagging off the manager, there's not quite enough of that on the forum.
A cheeky loan deal, with an option for 25m sounds about right.Mental he's only 24. He would be an upgrade on Maguire, but price I think will be prohibitive. They're going to expect about £50m minimum and that's at the absolute bottom.
Grand, you can rate or not rate who you like, but let's not just insult players or managers we don't rate. It's not great for discussion at all. There are vast expanses of the internet already filled with it.Whether a “newbie” or not I would say the same thing. I don’t rate this manager and don’t want this manager. Sorry if that upsets you or others.
De Ligt is slow, injury prone and hasn't kicked on since his Ajax days, avoid at all costs as it's only his name and early promise that's carrying his perceived value right now.
If only!A cheeky loan deal, with an option for 25m sounds about right.
Ineos haven't made their first signing yet so I'm still naively hopeful despite the facts suggesting they have stalled over the Sporting Director, haven't agreed any outgoing, seemed confusing by the varied style of manager they interviewed but here's hoping they can do something different in the market!So we are definitely signing him..
If he cannot stay fit in Germany the Premier League is hardly going to be easier on him, so many injuries before 24, he could potentially outgrow them, conversely he could be another Saha, Hargreaves and just be a crock, unless a very favourable loan term then I would want to stay clear, we would be better signing an average CB from the prem/championship who can stay fit for the seasonTweet

Straight swap for Sancho on about the same wages.I reckon he's definitely worth it if we can haggle a loan deal
In theory de Ligt would be the perfect partner for Martinez. Tall, good in the air, right footed, good pace (shut up) and good on the ball. A leader. Captain as a teenager for Ajax. Huge question marks about the injuries though.
Love these two assessments, 2 minutes apart.De Ligt is slow, injury prone and hasn't kicked on since his Ajax days, avoid at all costs as it's only his name and early promise that's carrying his perceived value right now.
Not too dissimilar...Love these two assessments, 2 minutes apart.
Funny old game
I’m not having a dig, we all see the game differentlyNot too dissimilar...
We both admit he is injury prone, both referenced he was good at Ajax, @Floyd is in denial about his pace but he is good in the air, tall and good distribution.. He has regressed since Ajax though unfortunately partly due to injuries.
INEOS should propose the idea just to see what Bayern would say, can talk about being wary of injuries as the reason for that proposalA cheeky loan deal, with an option for 25m sounds about right.
I guess they'd look to move Palmer central
I don’t think they have a plan. Just sign shedload of players and then ask the manager to work it out.I guess they'd look to move Palmer central
Yeah, they're basically taking the MLB approach of signing as many prospects in as possible in the hopes of having them succeed at Chelsea or be moved on for money/other players.I don’t think they have a plan. Just sign shedload of players and then ask the manager to work it out.
It does seem like overkill...Olise has been primarily a RW. Palmer was fantastic there last season. They also still have Madueke. It would be on odd move if he went there.I don’t think they have a plan. Just sign shedload of players and then ask the manager to work it out.
I thought they signed him last week?
If we're actually interested then we best get a fecking move on, manager situation is sorted so we've no excuse now.
