ETH talked him up. But right now were seeing a similar thing to what cleverley would do in terms of passing the ball back to where it came from. The way hes used will be interesting

We have Eriksen. Would be smart to sell him if we are having problems adding more signings due to lack of funds
We're getting De Jong and even ETH plays Fred or Scott deeper ahead of VDB.
With Eriksen coming in I don't see how he's 3rd choice in any position. Just use the kids for those fringe squad spots and be done with it.
Stick him in a cryogenic chamber until they discover a cure for cowardice.
He needs a system. We are putting him with lot of kids and ask him to perform and it just won't happen.
If FDJ signs and Eriksen is coming, he will look a lot better. He just won't assert himself in a game. He isn't that kind of player.

Oh Donny, what to do with you
I guess you're right, didn't think about Eriksen. I'd still like to give him a chance this season under ETH though, his stock is low enough as it is.
Are you joking?
I'm sure he'll be around at least until January.
If we sign those players Van de Beek isn’t getting near the team.
He is like fifa pro clubs players who have No clue how to play.
Asking for the ball all the time being behind 5-6 players and not having a clue what to do with the ball when getting It only making 5-10 metres passes…
In fifa they will be getting passes from AI players and lose the ball all the time but in Real Life other players do not pass to him because they know It not gonna make any good for the team…
Seriously has never seen player like him, not counting first touch short passes he is not good at any of other things….

I still think he would get his chances this year.
Only in reserve sides playing cup games.
At least Cleverly was a busy bee off the ball.
I will get murdered, but Tom Cleverley was better than him.
In with a stat about how he's in the top percentile for most left footed tackles in the final third of the pitch after the 82nd minute at home in the entire league in 5...4...3...
Get rid. Will never be good enough. None existent in a team of kids.
Zidane, Savage and Amad all outperformed him today.Kids.
Poor Donny. Peasant Ten Hag evidently lacks the football iq to appreciate his genius.
Really though, can we finally have a global consensus that Donny van de Beek is remarkably average and you might as well have bought Lasse Schöne.
Dream like Donny indeed.

There were CAF members who convinced themselves that Beek would replace Bruno comfortably.

I know, I never got that. Bruno is far superior in everything…apart from his desire for Hollywood passing.
I know it’s still early but he just epitomises meh for me, I like Donny, I just can’t see him ever being a first choice starter.
I can see Zidane throwing him out of the lineup if he was even considered as a starer.
I have no idea what he supposedly does.
All Bruno had to do was tone down slightly his erratic nature with the ball, that's it.
And it's showing in the recent two games that Bruno, to the surprise of few, is fully capable of doing that.
Look, we have fanboys or people with biased views towards players, I get that, but anyone could clearly see Bruno, and soon Eriksen, are far,far superior footballers.
Cleverley reborn.
There were CAF members who convinced themselves that Beek would replace Bruno comfortably.
They blamed Ole for not knowing how to use a technician.
"Bruno gives the ball away too much"
"A system manager will replace Bruno with Donny"
Bruno has looked x10 the player Donny is in the 2 games.
The less you play, the higher you get rated around hereThere were CAF members who convinced themselves that Beek would replace Bruno comfortably.
Just drifted....BUT there was a few times he made brilliant runs and wasnt found. One in particular was when Iqbal tried a little ball to him and almost got there. Great runs but not a lot else unfortunately
Yet another Van de Meek performance.
Yep this.
Said before that Ten Hag has his work cut out with Donny even though they’ve worked together before. He has shown virtually nothing in England with United and Everton.
So are we writing him off now based on two 45 mins of pre-season?
I'd rather he is sold tbh, but I still think it's too soon to write him off under Ten Hag.

Life has killed a Donny.
Looks like he's not favoured by his old gaffer even.
I still think he'd be better at 8 or 6 but young Charlie Savage is getting a go now. I reckon he thinks the same and is a bit disheartened.
Might have to leave to get a game. Poor Donny, we hardly played ye.

My opinion on Van de Beek has evolved over time. At the moment I just think he's not a midfielder.
His career best football came playing as a #10 off a false #9. All the things he truly excels at: Runs off the ball, finding space in the box etc. Those are attributes of forwards not midfielders.
I feel like he's at the wrong club, in the wrong country, in the wrong system. I think he'd be at his best in Serie A, where a lot of teams play 3-5-2 and he could be one of a front two working off another forward.

I don't see him picked before Bruno, Eriksen or even Iqbal who has looked way better in the 2 pre-season games so far. Ideally, sell him to Ajax or do a swap deal for Antony?
Not on the evidence of the last few seasons.
Was. When Cleverley was 25 he was better than the current Beek.
He should probably leave. I don't see where he fits in.
Apologies if that came out wrong. Cleverley was actually better. I was actually agreeing you won't get murdered.
