Okay cheers. Agreed, I think de Ligt would be an ideal signing for United. But, bar money I just can't see the appeal in joining us over Barcelona currently.
I think the challenge of helping United get back to the top and becoming an all time legend could be an appealing scenario.

That, and the fact that for any prize you win at Barcelona, all the credits go to the midget up front.
 
I’m sure you would be de ligted to see barcelona miss out as well :devil:
Honestly, i'm kind of still hoping to hear the imperial march booming across europe and Florentino to waltz in dark lord of the sith style and take the player away :drool:

But i'll settle to see him away from that pit of vile cnuts :D
 
It does seem weird that he’s liking a lot of united players posts on Instagram recently. It’s almost like he’s doing it on purpose.
 
Transfer Muppets will adore him. Some of us will think he's still not learnt a thing and is still throwing around huge money to manage to get deals done. Top negotiator.

So you don’t think De Ligt is worth this kind of investment then?

I don't believe this at all. His agent is just using us to get his client more money from Barca. Not sure why you guys are so excited when this is a common negotiating tactic.
 
I need a more neutral or reputable source to get excited. So far only bullshitters and Barca journos/papers. It is too one sided for me, smells like we are getting used. Hope Di Marzio or a decent English source jumps on it, then i will start thinking it is on. So far, this looks like De Jong to PSG, where he ended up at Barca at the end.
 
Offering a 19 year old who sounds like he doesn’t really want to play for us £300k a week may not be the best idea.

What happens in 5 years (or 3/4) when we come to renew his contract?

This off the back of wanting to shy away from such massive transfers to avoid another Sanchez saga. Not giving De Gea the money he wants after years of brilliance?

Could get Maguire/Alderweireld much cheaper.

He’s quality, no doubt. If he favoured us over other clubs because he wanted to be part of the rebuild, believed we had a strong future I’d be happier but IF we do get him it sounds like another player that doesn’t care much about the club but wants a fat pay cheque

He has no other options. He cant offer 'play with Messi' like Barcelona, he cant offer 'have Pep has manager' like City, offer CL football or even offer to live in a city like Paris, Madrid or London. Offering big money is a thing Manchester United can do and something to convince a player to join.

Why would you, when you arent a Manchester United fan, join Manchester United instead of joining one of the five better English clubs, PSG, Juventus, Spanish top two, Bayern or even Dortmund?

Oh
 
feck it I'm all in. Would be the one player in world football to sign first. Captain Leader Legend. Until he pisses of to Barca.
 
What I’ve learned in this thread is that none of you are ever happy...

Moan if we don’t get him, moan if we do...

Go and get some fresh air and don’t stress over it...
 
If BBC report we’re close, i’m getting the lube out. Before that no chance. Still convinced he’s playing with that midget next season.
 
Romero was the one who said de Jong was off to PSG
Gets a lot wrong. Been very hit and miss last year or 2 But if you pull it off, very good signing to be fair
 
He rejected that. And we've been hearing about United making a bigger offer after that. It's likely going to be closer to 350 and 250 imho

Still, absolutely worth it
For 19 yrs old? Feck that. I don't care how good he is or how good he will become, 250 for 19 yrs old is too much as well. When he turns into walking, jogging, sulking, moonwalking, dabbing fat little prick, who will buy him? I know I'm old, but still, don't like it, too much money for someone who never kicked the ball in PL. No guarante he will make it.
Or maybe, I'm too used to our spoiled, over hyped, over payed divas, so I think every player is like that.
Feck, get him Woody
 
Ive never seen a transfer thread be so optimistic with such loose information :lol::lol:

usually theres a huge bunch of grumpy old men telling us hes going to spain

Technically he wasn't wrong. He said he was very close to PSG, and he was, De Jong also confirmed it

There would have been nothing wrong with the Sanchez transfer if he wasn’t crap. If Messi signs here no one is going to blink an eye at him being paid ~1 million per week once he delivers.

By all metrics, De Ligt should be a success here. He’s coming off an amazing season, he’s still young with his best years ahead of him, two things that were missing from the Sanchez deal.

If we aren’t going to spend money on a player like this, a genuine future best in the world, who’s already one of the best around, who instantly comes into the team as our best defender, then who will we spend the money on?
 
Can we thread ban all the guys who aren't in dreamland now? Exactly 20 years from the day we won the treble, Manchester United to reach the promised land tomorrow

exactly , getting it wrong means PSG were never in for him, they clearly were and thought they got him. Its like bashing a journo that said dani alves was on his way to City

This is 100% different to the Sanchez nonsense. If people can't see the difference between a crocked winger on the wane and a 19 year old prodigy then you deserve what ever you get.

Sounds like some of you are shopping with your own money in here.

Not to mention, Pogba, De Gea, Martial, Sanchez and soon to be Rashford are all on that kind of money anyway!
 


This is a player United desperately need. Natural leader.


Wonen daar ook superjoden?
Ja daar wonen superjoden!
Vinden Joden voetbal fijn?
Als ze maar voor Ajax zijn!
lalalalala


Are there super Jews living there?
Yes, super Jews are living here!
Do Jews like football?
Only if they support Ajax!
lalalalala :nervous: :nono: :devil:
