Poor woody. Reminds me of when the hot girl in college that makes her nerdy best friend think she's gonna hook up with him everytime she's upset with her boyfriend
Who is it to say Toby Alderweireld will bring immediate leadership into our defense? Alderweireld is a very good CB, this is not a post to bash his quality, but he could fail just as much, nothing is sure. Paying ridiculous money for him is stupid when we don't have to, and I'd rather we invest those money smarter.
De Ligt on the other hand is the best CB prospect in recent memory, if there is a chance we need to take it, or we will regret it. Just like Mbappe last season, we should try and bring the best prospects here.
It is not whining about other clubs signing for the sake of it, other clubs make signings all the time. It's about us, wanting your club to make smarter decisions it's not whining.
Ronnie needs to stop throwing his toys out his pram and sign a new contract at Real.
According to Mediaset Premium and the Corriere dello Sport
No one. There's no guarantee in any transfer. Just like there is no guarantee that De Ligt will be a success.
I trust Jose's judgement on defenders. Especially one that is proven in this league and has been one of the better performers too.
Who is to say that signing some youngster over an experienced defender is 'smarter'? Especially when we already have a number of younger defenders here too?
The Mbappe example is just clutching at straws. United simply couldn't afford to pay 166 mil pounds for young player who had played just one season. We have a budget. Nothing smart about that. Even Real Madrid who showed great interest couldn't sign him either.
Now that's a midfielder I wouldn't mind.
I would be wary that both Belgium and now his club are willing to dump him. Sounds like a lifestyle issue to me.
Grealish to Spurs would be an interesting one. Maybe a loan back to Villa? He surely won't get many minutes at Spurs next season.
Samuel Grandsir signs for Monaco.
I trust Jose’s judgement but question his decisions in the same time. Lindelöf shouldn’t have been brought last year, while our FB were overlooked.
De Ligt would be a lesser risk than Toby due to the age, and resale value, that is simple. Not to mention the benefits of a long term service from a younger player.
Why the Mbappe example is clutching at straws? It’s a perfect example of when a genuine world class talent is available you try and bring him in. You don’t pass on talents like that if you could afford. The fact that he will cost as much is irrelevant here, because not every talent costs as much, Ajax are asking for 50m which is doable.
Surprised it's so little. Also, going to be amazing watching commentators try to say his name, it's nightmarish for me to try and spell thanks to dyslexia. Probably nightmarish for anyone to spell actually!
They'll just call him Sokratis. He wears it on his shirt.
Dortmund don't want him anymore. He's hopeless on the ball.
Barça near signing De Jong
Good signing for them, hopefully they don't land De Ligt too
Who cares about re-sale value? We are looking for which one will be better for us. And a player who has been one of the best in his position in the league for the last few seasons (albeit missing much of last season) is less of a risk than an 18 year old who plays in the Dutch league. There is definitely a possibility that De Light will go on to be better, but he's obviously a larger risk. The only real risk with Toby is the injury and whether he's fully recovered from that.
lets buy him!
Fantastic. 
So have Liverpool annoyed another team?
Whoever praises Liverpool’s transfer dealings the next time should be shot
Sergio Ramos was at the negotiating table apparently.So have Liverpool annoyed another team?
Doubt it. Think it's all grandstanding from Lyon. Time will tell.
They will want Lyon banned for whatever reason now.
Beautiful- Status
