Good job it's happening thenThat would be something
In my mind, he's basically here next season!Use that to convince Sancho and
I like that line up.Shaw De Ligt Lindelof AWB
I've not really been following football recently and I haven't seen this guy play. Is he really as good as everyone here is saying? Only 19 years old, feels like people are going overboard but maybe he's genuinely that special?
That will be something!That would be something
If Utd pull it off and get him, wow, but it's a big big IF, this boy can go anywhere, we can pay him more than most, that's a plus, but no CL,? Can he go without it for at least a season?
Still think he's going to Barca?

You surely know something don't you?That’s the right attitude mate
I wouldnt be the least bit surpised if raoila pushes him to us on a 5 year deal with the intention of getting him to force another move after 3 or 4 years to barca then to get two signing bonuses.
He knows if he goes to barca now he'll never leave.
He could also tell ed, sell pogba next summer and I'll get you de ligt now. A gentleman's agreement

There are going to be some extremely disappointed people in here when it’s confirmed he’s going PSG.
He already said no to Barcelona so I suppose it will be the others.
Not selling Pogba, if he needs money we can pay him a new contract, but De Ligt on a 5+1 year deal, we will talk.
Yep, Paris. We're going to win the World Cup next season.
Nope. Just a happy muppet
Got a feeling you know something, but don't want to say it considering what happened during the Griezmann saga
I want to be a happy muppet too
I don't know, something feels right about De Ligt at United. Just something.
If he was coming we'd have at least some links to him, maybe not the top papers but a few Mirror/Mail articles at least. There's just absolutely nothing, and I don't believe we could keep this completely under wraps if we were actually in for him.
We can offer him all the playing time that he wants and he seems to have enough character to be a cornerstone in a rebuild.
you are not welcome in this thread, heathen.
Was thinking of something similar, couldn't put it into words as well as you have though
With no gentlemen involved.
Can do that at 35
Paris doesn't have Wing's.
Exactly
I've seen worst, don't worry, I just have a good feeling and I know nothing but again, De Ligt to United sounds about right.
I find it interesting how people on here think that 19-20 year old football players thinks about how nice a city is, when chosing football team
I think he is. He’s a real athlete, which a modern CB needs to be as they are increasingly coming up against smaller, agile, attackers. Rio would have loved to be playing now in his prime.
He's coming home!

Amsterdam in winter makes Manchester look positively balmy. Unless you expect to go ice skating on Salford Quay’s.I find it interesting how people on here think that 19-20 year old football players thinks about how nice a city is, when chosing football team
I've seen students make a decision heavily impacting their education based on what city they wanted to be in. I've seen people give up their jobs and take a huge financial risk just so they could move to their dream city. However when it's suggested that the location is a factor in deciding where footballers want to play it's ridiculous all of a sudden? Or is it because you think 20 year olds haven't grown a brain yet?
This makes sense. Although I feel that Italy is slightly more competitive than France, Juve has to make an effort to defeat Napoli, PSG just walks the league.
Still, the Serie A title still holds some prestige due to the past of the Italian league. A few more years of Juventus' dominance and they'll be dubbed a farmer league too, sadly...
The muppetry here based on absolute feck all is scary.
Your point being?
You know you want to believe
It's not ridiculous, but the players that take their careers more seriously will see the quality of the city as a secondary factor rather than the main reason to make a move.
And come on, it's Manchester we're talking about, a lot of people would love to live there. A lot of the demeaning comments about the city come from a spoiled "first-world problem" perspective.
Mark my words, De Ligt is coming to United and it’s gonna be great!
