I think ten hag is hoping de Jong is left with no choice but us seeing as we are the only ones willing to give crazy wages and pay the asking fee as we know barca are trying to force him out
No we shouldnt, he is not good enough.
MUFC also still interested. Had to add that bit at the end to get extra clicks!
Had been waiting on this link for ages. Just seems so logical. Wouldn't be surprised to see this happen with Laird going on loan and AWB clearly not liked by ETH and probably going to be sold
United purchasing Dest as a means of filling a position and "paying" for portions of Frenkie's deference by means of a separate transfer.
FFS, he is mediocre or even worse.
He was excellent under ETH at Ajax
I think the De Jong saga has taught us Sport is a shit source. Would Dest be worth considering for that price though?
Never once remember seeing Renato Sanches play as an anchor. Sounds like bs to me. Thought Sanches was all but confirmed as a PSG player? Never been much of a fan of Neves. Wouldn't suprise me if he is our backup since we've clearly had some amount of interest in him for years. For me he's always been a good player but not at the level of a top 4 midfielder.
Yet again, an aggregator posts misleading information. What makes this even worse is that they aren't the only one; the Barcelona aggregators are also doing the same thing.
From the original article:
Translation via DeepL.com:
Nowhere does it say that United are willing to pay €20m for the player. The article also states that Dest might be tempted to join United, but that's the author's conjecture rather than info from a source.
Beyond all of this, Miguelsanz isn't even a reliable Sport reporter, so I wouldn't put much stock into this news.
Figured this could be an option to not only strengthen a position but also sweeten the pot for Barca. He was linked previously & he's Ajax trained. So it could be a decision for Barca to make to get rid of another player vs getting 2 Chelsea players in cheaper in a swap-type deal.
He never did, but on that note, Schöne never played as a deeper central midfielder before ten Hag converted him (same goes for Tadic and his false 9 role). Sanches can play similarly to de Jong in ten Hag's 4-2-3-1, which is probably what he's building towards. In that case, Sanches would be playing in a more familiar role as he's mainly played in a midfield 2 for Lille in the past couple of seasons. I don't expect ten Hag to play a 4-3-3 with Sanches in there for now, though, and that goes for de Jong, too.
Was very good for Ajax and his first few appearances for Barcelona if I remember correctly. For 20 million euros its good business for a position United are weak within.
I did like Dest before he just vanished from the scene. Also it do look a bit like a business deal to get FdJ done. Either way it’s a weak position and it would make some sense in that regard.
Because other clubs don't want to sign them permanently.
Will you doom mongers wait until the likes of Ornstein/Law/Steinberg comment on Chelsea interest before throwing the towel in
Are we taking Melissa Reddy as a credible source now??
The mighty have fallen
The mighty have fallen
He is one of them.
Yes sir.
Yeah Mr 2 times free transfer was not a success at all!
Truth.
To be fair their contracts were running out so could hold out for a bigger wage or go for free and Woodward handed it to them.
If he leaves Barca then Chelsea is looking a dead cert to be honest with you.
Why? No one decent is linking chelsea to him.
Because apparently Chelsea get whoever they want and it makes sense to be negative. It’s the way around here.
How on earth it could be a dead cert I've no idea. Genuinely baffles how much people love to be negative about the team they supposedly support.
You out of the loop it seems
What a horrible fkn hour
We don't sell players we loan them out and pay their wages, then bring them back give a new contract, then they run down the contract and then leave on a free.
Having to loan a player that should be in his prime (regardless of level of talent) at the age of 29 says it all about how this club was being run under Woodward/Judge. What a fecking shitshow.
Awesome we’ll pay half his wages and welcome him back as a new player next summer.
Amateur FC.
