That's just every City fan in the world trying to stop us from signing a CB. Their deviousness knows no bounds!
Great yet another one of his ex Ajax players, it’s becoming a joke.
I’m raging!
Strange that they would do this, given that he's old, decrepit, barely able to get out of bed in the mornings and can't pass or control the football. Plus, his dad is enormous.
I predicted they would do this after their tuchel petition 
proper weird fanbase. Why is everything so difficult with united? Does everyone want to just sabotage us?

The recruitment is now being led by Wilcox and others, ETH does not have sole say although he would have an input. It would be a collective decision to pursue specific targets.
This guy is potentially world class. He’ll be our best signing since Martinez. 100%
How reliable is Ben Jacobs?
I haven't seem much of him since his Ajax days. I thought he wasn't doing great at Bayern.
Are we happy with these links?

I don't mind us signing former Ajax-players as long as they are the good ones - and De Ligt and De Jong belong in that bracket
He once said he’d pick me up at 8 o clock and he was outside my house a few minutes early, so
(but he hasn’t given me back that fiver he owes me)
Bit of an odd one as Ornstein has said that this move is independent of Branthwaite
Good to hear.
Ben Jacobs and Matterface have the same cnuty look about them.
I think one of Maguire or Lindelöf are expected to go so 2 CB's was always the choice. We need a replacement for Martial too. Then there's the other strengthening we need. I highly doubt we'll get in more than 2 starting XI players.
No, we weren't even aware he existed. ETH just presented him to Wilcox and that's how we became aware of him.

Content : we dont want a change!!! keep Di Light!!
As reliable as Ornstein is I just can’t see that being the case myself. Even if we could get Branthwaite for £50m, we’re looking at £40m for de Ligt was well. That’s nearly £100m on 2 starting level CB’s and there’s still numerous other positions that still need addressing.
About as reliable as an inflatable dartboard.
Bayern don't sell useful players. And he already came up short in Italy, and they worship defence. I don't expect much.
Slippier than a trout in a dishwasher.
I'd be behind this assuming its a collective decision made by Wilcox, Ashworth et al. If this was solely down to Ten Hag simply wanting to sign another of one his ex-players then I'd be far more hesitant.
Good price range. Get it done
ETH will soon have all the band back together for a tour
The paranoid posters on reasons Bayern are selling are both amusing and strange. Sometimes big clubs sell good players, why is this so difficult to accept? De Ligt would be a sound signing at the price being quoted.
Hopefully Frenkie De Jong's foot is back the right way round when we bid for him in August
I think both can be true, but I reckon we were going to get a cheaper RCB and spend the majority on Brantwaite. Now he's too expensive and De Ligt is available at a good price, we'll likely sign a much cheaper LCB. Not a chance we don't sign a left footed CB this summer, in my opinion.
De Ligt wasn‘t played to his strengths in possession in Italy (passing and dribbling). His stats at Bayern are very good, I‘m mot sure why they are selling him.
They are reportedly attempting to reduce their salary burden. Several 'big name' players have been put up for sale this summer and they will apparently listen to offers for Kimmich, Goretzka, Coman, Gnabry, Mazraoui and de Ligt.
It's interesting because olise will come on big wages
Yeah would definitely be annoying way
Waiter, waiter! More Bayern defenders on the cheap, please!
Can we get one of Mazraoui/Upamecano/Min-jae too?

Slowly the benefits of FFP rules are starting to show. It will touch every big club.
They don't have a problem paying big money for great players and will continue doing that. But too many players have been underwhelming lately and after the failures of the last two seasons they are due a massive rebuild now. New board, new strategy, new manager with a new tactical approach, new players, changing everything essentially.
If it all works out for them, who knows, but at the moment they are also changing their squad for the sake of shaking things up. Which should somewhat reduce the worries about "red flags" that you could rightfully have if Bayern was just maintaining and optimizing a settled squad this summer. But they aren't.
120 million and you can have them all. We will even give you Goretzka on top for another 20.
