Still a chance of adding Sancho to that too but has reached a real stalemate at the moment
Finally some words from an Ajax fan. Look like a promising signing I think.
Welcome mate.
All our transfer links so far suggest we don't see a DM as a priority. It's clearly a CM/AM type, Sancho or RW and a CB. Then maybe a ST or FB or DM.
That is not true. In both FM and FIFA you need to rotate players. You can always play your best players but you'll suffer if you do. They're trying to actually mirror real life.
My gut feeling all along has been
This summer
RW
CB
AM/CM
Next summer
DM
LB
ST
Obviously we are losing Ighalo in January so you would think we would go for one then,however don't think that there will be many decent options available then
.
Your guess is as good as mine mate.
Arnie Muhren.
so he can play CB then?
We need to be sure we can get rid of CBs before we buy one. We have too many first teamers on the books.
Well, Phil jones has my vote!
Blind!?
Captain vote now with Maguire a doubt?
How many times did he play in midfield for us I wonder, before LVG the lunatic converted him to a CB.
Yeah until we have sold Smalling & Rojo do not expect any talk of a CB to intensify at all
He did start for us a few times as DM. But he was too weak to play there, got bullied all the time. And LVG was obsessed with a left footed CB.
Great post. Thanks for the analysis re Donny.
P.S. You forgot to mention Sancho (am I jinxing it? Who am I kidding, Ed will never pull it off :-(
Yes, Arnold Mühren was elegant and intelligent, and very useful to us even if he just spent his final years at the club. Him and Franz Thijssen were a big part of Ipswich Town being one of the two or three best teams in England for a while.
In single player modes yes, but the vast majority of people who play football video games are playing FIFA and the vast majority of those are playing ultimate team exclusively. In that mode there’s no real need to rotate players so everyone’s focus is on acquiring the best 11.
LVG played him everywhere to be fair. CB LB LwB cdm. Bit of a John Oshea in him.
Ultimate Team is surely for kids, a complete scam.
I haven't seen VDB play apart from a few snippets here and there.
Would he be cover for a attacking midfielder like Pogba or is he more of a defensive midfielder like Matic?
If he's defensive then I guess we don't need Fred anymore?

We've got 7...
Jordi Cruyff?
That was one of the few good decisions he made in his 2nd season.
Should have put his faith in Phil Jones staying fit! I think even with Blind as a central defender we had to play Carrick in some games as a defender.
They do wind up though with click bait titles and the like. Their pieces are normally good but they don’t outright deny they’re an ITK type account either.
When it first came out like 10 years ago it was an original concept brilliantly executed and was arguably the key factor in FIFA pulling away from PES and completely dominating ever since.
I agree with you now though, it’s become a bit of a parody of itself which just seems to be hell bent on making as much money as possible regardless of adding actual improvements. Still insanely popular though and not just amongst kids.

That's a good point. EA loves to push Ultimate Team in Madden and FIFA neglecting the other modes.
Newsnow is down for me and has been for several hours now for some strange reason so I haven't seen Spurs name linked to him, but I think they are in the market for a midfielder and Spurs and Ajax(similar outlooks!)have done quite a lot of business over the years.
I would be very surprised if he isn't announced as a United player before 12:00 tomorrow.
Liking the bold prediction
Think he converted him to a CB after he proved he just couldn’t keep up in midfield. The image of Rooney sprinting past him screaming at him trying to get back at the guy Blind just got left by is burned in to my brain. Pretty sure after that game he never played another game for us in midfield. He was shocking for us when given the chance in midfield
Is this deal done as.....much as Sancho was done couple of weeks ago?
Looks like we are singing him because he’s available at a bargain price. He would cost 60-70 mil if it wasn’t for COVID
Not a priority position, but looks like a good investment.

No, I think his memory is just bad, not his eyesight.
Daley...though he did play a few roles
Might even be late tonight in Blighty, when do the Markets open in America, or do we not have to notify them first any more??
Very reliable supposedly. It says he’s chosen Manchester United as his next club.
How soon our fans forget the massive contribution Nick de Butt made during our glory years (sigh)
Main Dutch news outlet (NOS) said Donny will choose for United and they expect "the deal will be done very soon". Bold of them to think we can quickly take care of a transfer, but at least it's somewhat hopeful news. Not the biggest fan of this signing but with the lack of depth and our passive approach on the market it's at least something.
