Hi, WYD L O L
Reported for text speak.
Just glad Donny hasn't put him off, nor LVG.
De ligt in our CB plight
This line of thinking left us with the midfield we’ve had for too long. It’s seems the new approach is sign players who are an improvement and let the players we don’t need go at a low valuation so they’re off the books. We can shift anyone for the right price, Donny finally got his move got £500k.
Yep agreed, as oppose to offering renewals left right and center to "preserve value" - only to be stuck with basically loaned out/non-existing players on high wages.

No, I see Maguire as a fantastic defender, who has had a rough time.
It's a little hefty but that's the market price now for someone that is as proven as could be at that level.
The price or the player?
Wish the Dutch were out of the Euros after the group stage. This deal would be done by now.
What is this sorcery. How are we negotiating several transfers at the same time?
I was told this was not possible. Playing clubs against each other and in the process getting a fairer/lower transfer fee.

to the Yoro thread
The price but I suppose that's what a proven DC goes for nowadays.
I do understand there's talk of hefty genetics.
What's a DC?

£43m (assuming he has no major injury concerns) could be a very good value deal for him.
Can Southgate please bore the Netherlands into a defeat so we can get this one done ASAP please.
Only 4 million more than Yankuba Minteh 
This is a brilliant deal.
This is a brilliant deal.
I'd rather wait a few days to sign him.
Sorry for being ignorant but who the feck is that?Only 4 million more than Yankuba Minteh
This is a brilliant deal.
I've never heard of a centre back described as defender central before. Is that an American thing?
Nah quite common in Europe, sometimes depends on the direct translation
19 year old winger who was on loan at Feyenoord from Newcastle. He developed well, and very quickly in only one season, but Brighton bought him for 39 million for some reason. After the sun total of a decent half season in the Dutch league.
Buying De Ligt for only 5 extra seems like an amazing deal.
Concerned about his injuries, especially in a more physical league, but at the price quoted he’s good value for a player of his calibre. We’ll definitely need backup if we sign him, can’t see him or Martinez playing a full season.
Newcastle will probably buy a shit Brighton player for 38 million for ffp.
How does that work now? Do you report the post to yourself? Or do you have a Cheimoon sock puppet that you use to tell you that you've reported a post? Maybe the sock puppet is the Mod? Who wears the Mod Crown? So many questions.
The sock puppet, definitely. It comes with the job, but I can't say more or Niall will kill me.
I also was kidding of course, in case it needed explaining. (About reporting that post for text speak, not the sock puppet.)
That was the point he was making.
Ah yes, I assumed it was some sort of trick.
Regarding Minteh, I do think there's a tiny chance he will actually become a good player. When he just came to Feyenoord he had played like 5 games of professional football and while he was fast he was completely brainless and had no idea what to do tactically. At the end of the season he was our most dangerous winger and ended on 10 goals and 6 assists. Still doesn't say that much since it's the Dutch league, but I've never seen someone develop from barely a professional player into a Eredivisie star in such a short time. Not sure his circus act works in the premier league though.
From football manager. DC, DL, DR and so on... Think they've changed that now as the game has evolved and positions and tactics are more advanced. But that's what it was called in earlier versions of the game
Apparently deal not that close according to Ornstein and Anka on Athletic podcast, sounds like Yoro and Todibo are above him but neither not likely for different reasons.
I think I’d trust cfc Bayern when it comes to their transfers rather than anyone else.
Not only is Todibo unlikely, it's also a deal we cannot do, so if De Ligt is behind Todibo, then the deal is practically off.
is it wise to buy a player that plays for a national side that gets knocked out of euro semi-finals?
