I like him. He would seem to compliment De Jong very well and is a good price (like £25m). Previously he seemed a bit of a Tifo meme but has developed excellently at DM and does a lot of things well. Good with long shots too which is a quality we don’t really have with Fred.
Only question would be whether his role would be a priority if De Jong comes in. De Jong sits and can mop up in the space just in front of the DMs, albeit isn’t really a ball winner (think the Pirlo to Sangare’s Gattuso or the Carrick to Fletcher for example).
He’s an upgrade over Fred IMHO (especially defensively) but we have a lot of positions we need to strengthen ideally. Does the budget stretch to a ball winning midfielder? Probably not if we’re insistent on expensive CDs and Nunez up front as rumoured (though I believe these are smoke screen targets).

Let me get this out of the way first...
He reminds me of Di Maria.

I think two midfielders are required for sure.
Well not only do you read it here, you see it play out in reality as well. The club has been shambolic the last decade in making under the radar and intelligent signings, and that’s a source of frustration for many supportera.
He seems to post a variation of that exact post in every thread. SadCafe syndrome.
Year left on cotnract would be cheaper probably than Sangare who I havent seen apart fro from his country to judge
Seems like exactly the aggressive high stamina, defensively sound ball winner that would complement De Jong picking the ball up from deep and playmaking, at €35 million too he could be an absolute bargain.
Obviously the dream would be Declan Rice but I don’t think he’s going anywhere this summer with so long left on his contract so Sangare and De Jong with Fred, McTominay, Mejbri and Garner would work for a season in my mind.

well good job you're here to remind us otherwise we might forget
Good footballing name, 10/10 would sign.
He'd be a great option ready to step it up for a not extortionate price.
We need bodies, and he wont take much of the budget.
nightmare

There's a nice entry about him in that. Probably a couple of entries for other players we'll soon be linked to aswell.

I’ll take your sarcasm as a thank you and say you’re very welcome.
Best midfielder in the Eredivisie. He's made for the premier league.
Only reservation I have on him is if his technical ability is a bit too limited for a top 4 club.
He's an energetic, robust ball winner. Like a tanky version of Fred. He's best in a midfield two.

I totally agree but I’d say the priority is deep lying playmaker who > ST > RW > RB > CD > ball winning midfielder (Fred is more suited to ETH’s system than Maguire IMHO) > LB > GK
De Jong, for me, is a game changing signing if it happens. I think 65m is a bargain for him as there’s so few of his type and quality. There’s very little value in ST positions so we’re gonna probably have to spend a lot. Ronaldo can’t be the only real striker. RW in the way ETH likes to play with fairly strictly a left footer will be hard too. There isn’t much quality available cheaply in that mould.
We need way better from RB than we’re getting but ETH could conceivably develop Dalot or Laird there.
Adding up the figures of those rumoured, we won’t be getting another CM. That’s why, aside from De Jong and Timber, I’m hoping we go for more canny targets than the likes of expensive rumoured players like Nunez and Pau Torres.
PSV tend to sell reasonably and indicated a few weeks back 20-25m will secure Sangare. I can’t see Brighton selling Bissouma for any less than 30m. It’s PL tax and the fact he’s proven himself in England. Contract expiry could lower it, for sure, but I reckon they’d play us til the very end of the window in the hope another PL team will outbid us.
Personally I’d hope ETH gets his targets in as early as possible as we’ve had 2 really bad pre seasons in a row and I hope we have a much better one this year.
the tifo guys love him. ETH has gone up against up him multiple times so if the club doesn't make a move for him he may not be rated highly by the staff. Can't say I've seen him play but there are people who rate him high and the price is cheap compared to a lot of midfielders.
Just like Soumare who this forum was convinced was a superstar in waiting.
Bissouma and Greenwood would be lethal at court
So he can shield the defence, break up opponents play and simple pass it to de Jong?
That would be a good start.
Agreed - someone who can do this effectively is an improvement on what we have.
He becomes a pressing magnet then though. Then you have De Jongs partner who isn’t good on the ball being out into ball playing positions because De Jong wants to play it out.
Basically a more skilful, rounded version of Ndidi.
Worrying that we haven't already made this deal happen considering that Erik has seen him perform for years as the rivals' star DM, he has a £30m release clause and his entourage are still trying to generate interest.

I would have pay attention on him more in that final cup game vs Ajax if I know this guy is highly rated in Eredivise.
Ajax fan rates him and he has 35m euro release clause. That's good price. Basically FDJ (£60m) + Sangare (£30m). £90m for 2 midfield is very good business IMO.

that explains a lot, thanks
I really don’t get this mindset. Seems like exactly the player we need at a bargain price but let’s sign some else for over the odds instead.
I don’t think even Declan’s missus considers him ‘the dream’.Would this guy allow frenkie to roam into spaces like he does for the Netherlands?
Probably one of the deals with had wrapped up but have tried to keep quiet.
Can’t remember what I was listening to but heard we have been following this guy very closely and like him. That was about 2 weeks ago now.

Ah yes, but there are that go the other way like Tielemans for example.
An alright to decent level player who’ll probably level out to Arsenal this summer?
Right, we’re too good for Tielemans considering our amazing midfield options. It’s 2022 not 2002.
He’s ok. He’s a year on his contract and nobody is beating down the door for him. Leicester will lose money on him.
To be honest I'm hoping there might be one or two like that while all the noise is around De Jong, Nunez and Timber. But that might be wishful thinking on my part.
Well, if Chelsea want him he goes there.
We have Mctominay in our midfield. Sangare is surely a huge improvement.

Yeah I’m the same. But the sceptic in me still thinks they are selling us a blank cd with the new new backroom reshuffle.
People underestimating how big of a loss Roman might be for Chelsea. He was a proper football man. Who knows what the new ownership is like.
Tifo have recommended this guy to us for years.
Fabinho is a particularly painful one
