Can we do a VDB chant, but not racist?
Always happy to see Dutch players coming in , they always seem to do great at united.
Love to see Boadu and koopmeiner come in this window as well.
Is it official or what?
Yep that was it... you're right.
erm..Memphis?
van de Beek reminds me of someone.......
Oh my god I am dying
I haven’t seen an Akira reference in ages.
He should've said "great for United".
Memphis helped knock City out of the CL which is always appreciated.Nope. Ajax are waiting to see if the cheque bounces.
Tbf he did say "players".Ironic, considering your location says "LVGOUT."
BTW Jordi Cruyff and Alex Buttner say hi.
Wtf, what’s the consensus about this fella here, when I saw the news I said who the feck is him? Anyone can explain? Should I be thrilled?
It's because of Cruyff I think. His philosophy values the brain more than the legs. So Dutch football select youngsters on how smart they play more than how strong or fast they are. Same thing with Barcelona. While English clubs basically only care about how fast, tall and strong a youngster is.
With almost all of our best attacking players excel at combining between the lines, imagine what kind of damage they'd do if we had an RB in the profile of Adama, who could draw 2-3 defenders.(Not saying we should buy Adama though)
What RB is in his profile? If someone has his profile they tend to be attackers.
Worth unzipping slowly.
He’s an awkwardly decent player but will definitely fail to find his strengths alongside Bruno and Pogba. He likes to run into space. Not a holding midfielder at all. Will be one of oles worst signings
I don't know where everyone has got this notion of him playing alongside those 2.
Basically every report on him has him as a 10 or attacking box to box. He'll play in place of them and as a rotation option, depending on the tactic for the specific game. There will be no first 11 in a season were we play every 3/4 days.
Today's the signing?
Happy Donny Day!
Well you’re a bundle of joy
He’s a fine player with a good all round game.
Better than Fred but worse than Pogba/Bruno.
He is the player we expected Pereira to be.
Dortmund are perennial second and arguably historically the 2nd biggest team in one of the top 5 leagues who are trying to remain competitive. Plus they pay top salaries, making their players less intent on leaving.
Sancho is a generational talent and a potential ballon d'or competitor.
Would you sell Greenwood for 100 if you don't need the money?
Night and day situation between both clubs and players.
Massive upgrade on Fred/McT/Lingard/Andreas. He'll get plenty of game time as Pogba and Bruno will also need games out (lots would rate him higher than those two as well)
Not announced yet??
Aaaaarghh
Aaaaarghh
Don't worry , he hasn't done a runner
Perhaps to do with International duty?
Nothing like a positive outlook to new sigings!
Has to be a WUM for sure.
He looks like he could be Moyes's son.
I think it's a brilliant signing.
He's top quality, instantly improves us and the price for the quality of player is pretty good.
He's better than Fred/Periera/Lingard/McTom and will easily compete with Pogba for a starting spot in our current formation/set up.
I hope he hits the ground running, his game seems to suit the premier league.
Smart business by us and i hope we get a couple more in before the window shuts.

I mean, he's obviously not signed to be a holding midfielder. He's replacing Lingard and Pereira in the squad to rotate with Bruno and Pogba.
