I am surprised Blind doesn't seem to be linked to anyone.
You are?
So am i. He would do well paired with a quicker and more physical CB in a league with a bit less tempo.
I don't expect one of the top teams to be going for him, but I'd expect midtable clubs to be circling. Unless his wage demands are too high for them. Alternatively maybe he's comfortable and doesn't want to leave.
Don't think anyone else will use him as cb, too slow and too short. Has he ever won a header?
Tidy player, good passing, and can be a decent defensive midfield player for a team with lower ambitions.
Think he could do well in a 5.-10. team in Spain, Italy, France or Germany.
Sure, if you call it winning a header when you go up unchallenged :lol
Luke Chadwik had beat him had he tried, so would the other guy there, who's like a head taller than Daley!
He actually beat Lukaku a couple of times in the season Blind was first choice in the defence. Which probably says more about Lukaku unfortunately, but Blind still had to work for it.
Obviously Blind isn't great in the air, but it's obviously going stupidly overboard to pretend he's never won a header.

Compare to previous transfer windows (Rooney, Depay, Schneiderlin, who else?), yeap, it's not so noisy.
The only one very likely to go is Darmian.
Blind probably under the radar, unless he's settled here not leaving.
Martial?

Again( maybe too early to say?) we are not ruthless in selling players. Fellaini signed new contract, shaw who is out of shape still here, darmian still here, blind who is good player but not in jose plans still here. We should also sell at least one central defender because we can still get decent price for rojo, jones or smalling but nothing happening there.
It is time to earn some money from sales of squad players and reduce huge wage bill. We are spending millions on players who play 10 games per season .

Why these players have never asked for a move. Blind, Darmian still young yet they're happy to be ...eh 3rd-4th choice.
I imagine any move for Blind will go unreported. The majority of shit in the papers is just made up and who's really going to make stuff up about Daley Blind.
Blind is being linked with a move back to Amsterdam by De Telegraaf. The transfer fee will not be interesting but he will be off our payroll, and he'll get to play in his favorite number six position again.

He can sign a pre contract for free in January can't he...
Suspect there will be a bunch of clubs interested then... Actually think with a number of clubs now playing with a back three he would be a Good option as the left CB for somebody with that formation
Still think blind is better than any of our other center backs
How are Darmian and Blind still at the club?
And not even rumours of bids for Mata, Smalling, Herrera etc!

If reports are true, Darmian agreeing terms with Juventus and Blind agreeing terms with Ajax, then it looks like we’re asking a bit too much money.
I know the market is inflated but we could pretty much break-even on two players who have no future here and wish to return home.
I don’t think we should be playing hard-ball here.
More incredible when you hear the players are the ones pushing and the club doesn't mind them staying.
We're likely asking for relatively high figures for them, which other clubs aren't currently willing to match. They'll be sold before the start of the season though imo.
