Im just double checking- it’s Girona who pay 500k for the transfers, not us to get rid? Right?
Van de Beek to Girona for 500k
- Thread starter Berbaclass
- Start date
holy shit, we finally robbed someone.
We're only £34.55m in the red! (+wages)
Remember when a big portion of the fanbase genuinely believed he was some world class player that Ole didn't play because he was clueless and that van de Beek was too good for his "awful" style of play?
Then, when ten Hag joined, the same people were sure that van de Beek will be one of the first names on the team sheet and he would bench Bruno immediately.
Decent banter if Berrada writes an open letter asking the Girona fans to “please take good care of our Donny”.
Not sure what our scouts saw in him. He was such a luxury player that required 2 ( offensive and defensive responsibilities) players to support what he offered. He was just a link player and not that good even in that
Not even a million. What a disaster transfer.
Understatement
Hopefully we don't sign anymore players just because other clubs like Madrid want them. He was never suited to the PLand definitely not the style of play Ole was playing at the time. Pretty sure it was an Ed Woodward signing not an Ole one.
What a waste of 35 million
What a waste of 35 million
Most of the value is getting him off the salary list anyway.
Weird to think that he scored on his debut/ home debut for us against Newcastle, if my memory serves me right.
£40m down to £500k.
One of our worst even transfers.

I'd have taken him as a ball boy for Feyenoord's under 18 for this price.
And you know this how..?
He is his agent.
He's fallen up upwards massively here, fair play.

I'd be fine even if it was us paying. Good job whomever was able to pull it off
Pogba for 105million Euros from Juve and leaving for free was certainly financially worse, but in retrospect we got VERY lucky to have gotten rid of him, even if price drop was mind-blowing
Yeah that was an even more horrendous deal. We got very lucky after all what’s happened with him now. So glad we don’t have that hanging over the club, as we have enough bad press.
Plus it’d create a super cool and normal vibe to have a wealthy older man who looks like the Milky Bar Kid hanging around with a bunch of teenagers.
Fee can rise up to €15m.
Yes, it says the fee can be between €8m and €15m.
He’s worth what clubs are willing to pay, nobody is lining up to sign this “footballer” we are lucky to get 500k! 7-9m is a joke surely.
No complaints but I’m a little surprised we’ve done a deal with the city football group
Glad he’s going

Ok nice, that is actually a really good fee if he does well. Lets hope he does well then!
Just waiting for him to shine at Girona
His spell at United has been a disaster. He was never fancied at the club from day one. I think he could have been a good player for a different team though. Doubt that will be at Girona, I think it’s all a little too late for him now and he won’t be able to get his form from his Ajax days back, but with him the best and hope that he can.
We’re not, it’s a few million and likely more. And about £6m-£7m per year off our wage bill. For a player whos done nothing for us or on loan
Nice. At least one Dutch fraud has been gotten rid of.
Wonder what went wrong for him
Suspect Daley Blind may have advocated for this given that he's at Girona as well.
Which other Dutch frauds are you taking about?
Like they did with Drinkwater, Batshuyi and Baba Rahman?
This reminds me of my time playing FM and wanting to get rid of a player and offered him for 0 or 100k. In most cases, nobody would come even then. When I was lucky a "bidding" war would start and I would sell the player for 200k.
