Stefan de Vrij

[Sassy Colin]

Seems to have his own thread every couple of years, so he's due one about now.

According to Sport Witness via Il Messaggero:

Player ready to say yes to join Man United, €35m fee, ‘one step’ from Mourinho

Any good?

 

[Spaghetti]

35 million euros for a defender with one year left on his contract?

Why do we have to let everyone know how much money we have? No other club would pay that much under these circumstances.

 

[ADJUDICATOR]

Best centre-back at the last World Cup imo. Had an almost 10 month long injury layoff since then and another that has him still on the treatment table though.

Maybe in Summer he'd be cheaper with such a short contract. Guess its the January desperation.

We'll be linked with all sorts for all sorts of money - don't believe it all

I wouldn't really buy anyone from that Dutch team. Martins Indi, Memphis, Vlaar all looked the part in that squad.

Not another Jones? No sign of recurring injuries?

This would obviously seem plausible if LvG was still around. He just doesn't strike me as a Jose type buy. I'd imagine Jose would still be interested in Bonucci.

 

[izec]

Must be bullshit. If we still want to challenge for the Europa League next season, yeah, but otherwise total bullshit. Nowhere near good enough.

 

[bucky]

I'd prefer Hoedt from Lazio and he isn't ready for a club like United either.

 

[simonhch]

Apparently we want Rudiger too. Oh and Lindelof. And Fonte. Not forgetting Niklas Sule. Or Rafa Varane.

Cracking defense we're building.

 

[Nate Dogg]

Wasn't he the Dutch John O'Shea?

We don't. That is literally a figure made up by the website.

Also, the story is likely made up. Here's a story about a swap deal - Payet for Martial:

Zero chance this will happen.

Bonucci - Bailly

Never going to happen
