hope he stays tbh
genuinely though
As an Ajax supporter, do you think he is coming here or is he 100% Barca bound?

We are in crisis right now; in order to fix this, we need to bring good players at young age to the team for rebuild.
We have the money for this rebuild plan but so far we have spent the big money on the average & old players like Sanchez, Fred, Lukaku & Matic. Signing De Ligt is part of rebuild, he’s quality & nothing like Fred, Lukaku & Matic. If we don’t spend the money to bring in this type of player how are we ever going to the right direction?
As long as we use the money wisely & going for the players that worthy then it’s fine.
Six hours later, Oddschecker (averages odds) has Barca at evens and us down to 6/4.Bookies still have him odds on for Barca but we've shortened to less than 3-1.
I understand might be bookies covering United bets received and reducing any possible payout but.....
Again, I understand the different reasons why odds can change, but.......
Marketing genius.
Well I think Barca arent really flush with cash and whats worse is that they already use all their flow on wages as is. If this was just a question of 50k they would but its more than that.
Rio! Rio! Rio!
Raiola's people leaking all this to get Barca to up their offer
I'll suck the caf dry if this comes off, you're all getting it!
If Rio is the reason for De Ligt signing, is there anyone more qualifid to be our Director of Football? He's signing players before he's even on the fecking payroll!
We haven’t got any real leaders so with his experience as a captain already Ole should give him the armband.
I can see the headlights now
“United Delight as they sign De Ligt”
“United Delight as they sign De Ligt”
Deja vu to when Liverpool beat City 4-3 and we thought they'd cave and nab Sanchez
Well I’ve got ‘Jessi’ #14 on the back of this season’s shirt!
And if they don’t?
Okay, I went to the shops. Anything happen?
If we sign De Ligt, would Sancho reconsider signing this summer?
DeLight or DeLirium ?
Potentially.
One huge transfer of a young superstar would be the perfect selling point for Sancho, Felix etc, that’s for certain.
you asking this as a question you want an answer to? If so i'll phone Sancho and ask him for you if you like?
I'm sure Barcelona will be aware of our offer anyway. They would have asked if anyone else was in for him and what are they paying. Standard practice. They're probably leaking the information to make him aware they won't be budging
After the barren months of last summer, it looks like this one could well be in full swing already.
Hope someone’s keeping that Sancho thread warm for us!

Do it, I need to know.
You would though right? Things wouldn't look so shit if big names started coming through the door again.
I'd rather we target felix off de ligt if possible.
Just because Sancho being an English lad wanting to stick one up his old club - I hardly see him being too hard to get in the future.
I’m not sure we should be that smug about getting Sanchez ahead of City....
I think this is where the real value of a transfer like this would be, a message to our other targets that’s we aren’t fecking around this time!
I really don't know why he'd want to come here right now. Money is the only potential incentive at this point.
you guys are setting yourselves up for a lot of disappointment.
Nonsense
Group punishments are against the Geneva Convention.
I've been saying the same thing for over a month
nope
De Ligt isn't even a fan of Barca nor Spanish football. He's said before that he doesn't even watch La Liga (when De Jong said he preferred La Liga over the Prem), and that English football has the best football culture/'atmosphere' in his eyes.
Also this interview from a couple years ago:
And the Sports chief of De Telegraaf saying the other day that apparently he/his entourage is surprised no English club has come knocking
Poster boy of united's rebuild. Garenteed starting position and of course the money.
Booooooooo!!!
We'll get both, don't worry. If we're spending a huge chunk of change on a CB then we're definitely going balls deep in attack. £90m for Sancho and £65m for Felix (both with future incentives). Then we'll probably get AWB for £50m and a midfielder or two.
hey, I want to believe too ... I just can't yet
