Donny van de Beek | van de Beek's father: "[Moving to United] a dream come true."

[Lee565]

Still a bit if head scratcher, we have needed a right winger for years, ziyech was available to buy last summer and during January but opted to buy van der beek from ajax instead despite costing more than ziyech and we already had pogba and Fernandes?

All I can say is we better be buying sancho this summer as well then.

 

[Paxi]

It is! Just found it.

Yes!

@BenitoSTARR

That is glorious!

 

[Paxi]

@Berbasbullet Scholsey vs Spoony in that thread stil has me howling. It’s fecking genius.

 

[Paxi]

That is glorious!

Look through that thread mate, you’ll piss yourself.

 

[Samid]

Which is the next thread we’re camping in? Sancho? Thiago? Messi?

 

[FreakyJim]

so we're definitely not signing Sancho?

 

[ChaddyP]

listen cockface...you are the most vile cumstain I've ever encountered on this forum. You monopoloise this thread you come across with some half arsed one liner that would'nt qualify for the Joe Longthorne show and then present yourself like you are the King of comedy on American prime time. You epitimise most of what I detest about the internet...opinions formed at the drop of a hat....petty jokes at the expense of others with no thought for their feelings and most of all the self absorbing egotistical self correction of spelling that really points out to every other poster that the highlight of your day is a wank to "big tit weekly". You dont have the friends here you perceive yourself to have and have the intellect of a gnat and the culmanation of this sceario will be your demise in a slow and agonising manner.

Be warned

@BenitoSTARR

No Christmas card then?

 

[Flying_Heckfish]

To anyone not aware of its origins (myself included) and for any causal observer it doesn’t come across that way?

So to be clear this is ok to post at another member without consequence? If so it may well be my new favourite thing!

Not been here long, have you?

 

[OrcaFat]

Best case realistic scenario we have upgraded Fred and strengthened the squad. That's nice. It's not going to get anyone excited about next season though.

I doubt he will have the immediate impact Bruno had, but he may do. More likely he will be decent and will improve from there. Could develop into a top midfielder. Maybe not, of course, but let’s give the boy a chance.

@BenitoSTARR

There’s another one that does the whole argument, died laughing at the end “match over, the baz wins”

 

[alexthelion]

you know what - yes I would! Because what’s an extra 20 mill when it comes to getting a proper class act? I accept that is subjective

but I think bruno and jack could dovetail and with our runners/ strikers the movement and opportunities would be exponential.

hey that’s just my opinion!
but please dont get me wrong - I’m not saying don’t get Donny - just want Grealish / sancho / both!!!!

VdB at £35m is a far better buy than Grealish at £80m. Grealish is hardly better than VdB and is nowhere near worth over double the price.

 

[alexthelion]

Yeah he enjoys a bit of moon lighting here and there.

Obviously only a relief PE teacher.

 

[peridigm]

Once a red always a red!

Ajax got any world class wingers?

 

[Offside]

Well then.

Have you ever heard of throwing enough shit at the wall and some will stick? “Well then”

That "ITK" has been surprisingly accurate so far tbh. Unlike the Reddit ones.

 

[bosnian_red]

Chelsea already got Ziyech unfortunately...

 

[Beans]

We all saw Bruno run into the ground, we need a dangerous understudy, and we need strength in midfield in general. I'm delighted at the news!

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

He's a decent size.

Steady on.

Seriously though, he looks smaller.

 

[R.N7]

Is Doncaster his given name ?

 

[Sultan]

Some performances vs big teams from him. These are not highlights of how great he can be, but just clips of every touch hes had against top oppositions. Can see he's definately no Pogba/Bruno, and has some weaknesses in passing, but is overall clean in technique and very energetic in his play.

Spoiler: Vs Bayern

Spoiler: Vs Real

Spoiler: vs Juventus

If these short video clips were in isolation to be his CV he'd be nowhere good enough for United. Hopefully, the scouts will have seen something a lot more than he's shown in those games. He hasn't got the elegance of Daley Blind but likely a better athlete and physique.

Some of the stuff caftards come up with is pure gold.

 

[el3mel]

Great news. Really buzzing about this.

Great way to finally kick start our market. I think he'll be a great addition to our midfield.

 

[AbusementPark]

Might as well sign all our players in January then.

Worked for vidic and evra, could be the winning formula

@ £35m aged 23 vs top teams in Europe?

Never really lurked they generals. Been a casual observer long enough though of the football forums.

Feel like this is my Alice in Wonderland/Narnia/Matrix moment

Going through that thread you see a lot of posters who were absolutely brilliant, I was only a lurker then but had a laugh just reading their absolute nonsense e.g. Hectic’s posts made me laugh a lot.

Could not save Moyes though. Mata was not enough to win CL or get top 4 (could not even play CL ).

He did some very rash passes giving the ball away in final third on a regular vs Madrid highlights that was worrisome but overall he goes for it a lot too so maybe it just seem like he lost it more than normal, tracked back a ton and also helped defence a ton, engine on him looked great!

Yeah Hectic, Plech, Olly as well. Mockney with his Suarez rap. Though Mockney is still around.. Some funny, talented people on the caf. Hats off to @R.N7 too for absolutely smashing that fun with animation thread with absolute classics.

He's been playing in Bruno's role for Ajax so not too worried. You could make far worse compilations of some of Bruno's games against lesser opposition tbh.

Ziyech world class? feck me that phrase is thrown around like cum at a dogging session.

 

[Sultan]

@ £35m aged 23 vs top teams in Europe?

Hope he's a lot better than what I saw in those videos. Definitely didn't show any flair in those clips. United as a club should be competing with the very best in Europe.

PS: I'm not judging him on a few minutes of videos. I can't say I ever remember seeing him play.

 

[jungledrums]

Ziyech world class? feck me that phrase is thrown around like cum at a dogging session.

Beautifully evocative imagery

 

[lysglimt]

Prat.

Reported.

I think he is trying to say that you wont be invited to his christmas party!

Yeah, those UCL ties are special, so not worried there either. He look very relaxed for the age and vs that type of opposition!
