Well, let's hope the club swoops in for him at the very last minute and conclude a deal.

If Kagawa is to be believed, I'll like to see VDB alongside Pogba playing the Fred's role.

patrickmuf:
Diadem definitely knows his football to some extent. His take on French midfielders is spot on, see his take on Jorginho, 100% correct.

I also subscribe to his take on Savic. I think he was a bit harsh on Ziyech but there's some element of truth in his take.

A good read once again. Kagawa10, please bless us with your presence once again.

patrickmuf:
Now let's go all out for Sancho and possibly a LCB.

As an aside, the figures I am reading associated with Partey is too good to be true. 45m for a very good DM is a steal for any club that signs him. Me thinks we shouldn't miss this opportunity o!

If we were to search through the known leagues for the necessary players, the likes of Epl, La liga, Bundes, Ligue 1, Serie A, Erediv, Portug Liga, and the championship would be the places at.




In Ligue 1, most of the quality players resided in Psg while Monaco is already depleted. Moreover, I've discovered that most of the french midfielders lack awareness as playmakers and the main reason they are only good for box-box role. There are exceptions such as Jean Seri but his feets are allergic to cold weathers. Nabi Fekir is not even a playmaker but just a goalscoring midfielder, similar to Ramsey. Lemar had a poor season.

In LaLiga, Real madrid, Barca and Atletico hoard most of the talents. I would love to have Ceballos but Madrid would rather send him to Barca's academy than to us. Kovacic is another although I feel something strange about him, he doesn't look fluid in midfield to me despite his lovely technique and Madrid won't even sell. Koke is another but the idiot loves Atletico more than life itself. Besides, I have problem with spanish players due to the fact they always love to go back home, especially when any of the spanish giants are interested in them. Their clubs would have just wasted the effort developing them.

In Serie a, I would love to snatch Pjanic off Juve but Juve's demand isn't worth it. Juve's LB, Sandro had a poor season. There's Savic who's just another Pogba, I don't even know what people see in him that will complement his 'dopplelanger' in our midfield.

We have Jorginho whose passing range is underwhelming for me. His anticipation as a no 6 is not the best for me too. Apart from these, he's quite good as a playmaking no 6.

In Bundesliga, there's Goretzka, a quality player who's been snatched by Bayern. Keita already signed for Liverpool. Weigl had a poor season and I don't even think he can cope in the Epl.

There's Meyer who's got quality technique on the ball but offers little in the midfield. He's looked good when moved to a no 6 role but still offers little e.g his passing range and incisive passes need to be better but apart from these, he looks fluid in the role. Frosberg is another player, he's more of an attacking midfielder though.

In Portugese Liga, I can only vouch for Oliver Torres and Ricardo Peirerra. Perreira has everything to be a fantastic fullback but he's positional suspect, similar to Marcelo but not yet as good.

Oliver has had a tough season under Porto's coach who prefers a brute in the midfield unlike the previous coach who built Porto team around Oliver when he was on loan at Porto and he did flourish as Porto's playmaker that year. Anyway, There's no use signing him because those Spanish mofos will always come knocking after ''the food don done''.

In Eredi, we have many talents but those that caught my eyes are Van de beek, De Jong, de Ligt, Ziyech, Kluivert.
Ziyech is one player I will try to avoid. He plays like Pogba but with Depay's technique on the ball. He always loves to force play and sometimes he gets it right but not for me. Kluivert has just started his life and his game lacks some maturity in it.

Everyone knows De ligt already. He's got everything to be worldclass, if he's not already. If Davison Sanchez who wasn't as good as de Ligt when they were centre back duo at Ajax could slot seamlessly at Spurs, I don't see why the more superior de Ligt can't. Forget his age, his game has every maturity in it.

Van de beek can play both as no 6 and no 8 but his best game has always been in the no 6 role. His awareness and movement are top notch. The fact that he's always ahead the play, that is, knows what to do with the ball before he gets it is one reason I want him here. His positional discipline, anticipation and ability to switch play are another lovely attributes of his. He's the total package for me as a no 6 because unlike Ruben Neves, de beek's great in the air, more defensively sound and more mobile as a no 6. What more? He's a goal scoring midfielder and direct/indirect set piece taker.

Frenkie de Jong plays both no 6 and centre back roles but I feel the centre back fits him better. He's still recuperating from his injury though.

In the championship, I can vouch for Grealish, Maddison, Ruben Neves and Diogo Jota. Grealish is a fantastic playmaking no 8. Maddison is more of an attacking midfielder but can play as 8 too. Jota is a quality forward.

Panther7:
kagawa's argument was VDB was a natural goalscorer and he can play a number of positions compared to de jong, let's hope he is right and you are wrong

GloryIsaac:
It has already been suggested earlier, but he declined it because he felt that people won’t show up to watch the match, based on his overall performance at the club.

The man in charge of the club, Nitrogen, can throw more light on that.

nitrogen:
Fvck you!!!!

I am not just a fan, that's what you dont know.

elrony:
But I think say you no want new signings, since you say Poch and Lampard no sign players so Ole shouldn't expect any additions.

Where you stand oga Expert abi you be pendulum bob?

Ibime:
Manures VDB signing dey pain me. We should have cut through the long Havertz negotiations and just signed that guy

Panther7:
kagawa scouted him way before that.

Leyqute:

Fulks217:
Sancho is just an overrated English player they should go for coman

Oasis007:
Tottenham failed with an 11th hour bid for Donny van de Beek. Matt Judge moved to seal an agreement after being alerted to Tottenham's attempt to hijack the move.

- Mirror

Oasis007:
Donny van de Beek has told friends in Amsterdam that Solskjær's determination to sign him was the key factor in his decision.

- Mirror

Nezzjnr:
� - Ajax have reached an agreement with Manchester United for the transfer of Donny van de Beek. More will follow later tonight.

larride:
Doc, you are still not getting this thing and I really don’t need to keep repeating the same thing over and over again.

I’m going to keep repeating it, the transfer team will only work on what the manager recommend to them. It’s as easy as APC.

Panther7:
In summary they yet to make a bid
All is well.

larride:
This thing is really not hard to understand.

The debate was on our inactivity in the transfer market. Some were blaming those handling the transfer, the line of argument I brought in was that the manager has to recommend the players the transfer team will work on.

Going with our inactivity in the TW as a lot of people here attest to, I made an inference that maybe the manager didn’t recommend any other player for the team to get apart from Sancho.

Infact my point was strongly backed when Oasis dropped an update from Fabrizio that we are in the process of signing VDB which supports my argument that it’s the manager that will recommend a player first before the transfer team will get to work of negotiating for the transfer.

How is this too hard to understand ffs?

larride:
Lol. You are making it sound as if all teams goes to buy 3 and more players every transfer window.

Doc was being sarcastic ooo, don't read too much meaning to it

Expert17:
I don't support insult.

When the guys dey attack me since....afrodoc follow them ooo

Panther7:
Asin, na just discussion wey dey discuss for here they don take am to another level. Wetin happen?

Leyqute:
.....since only Sancho is on the list , which doesn’t even exist in the first place.

It is a pekelementus

Khaytunechi:
If we'll make a defensive signing, I think it should be the LB position. We still get Rojo and Smalling coming back. With dem Tuanzebe and Baily as well. I don't think CB is an urgent position to fill, they should not kill Brandon Williams with that LB role, he'll be average at best, stunting his development as a proper RB.

Oasis007:
Manchester United are interested in Thiago Alcântara.

- @cfbayern

larride:
I doubt we will sign another CB again this TW though.

larride:
You are just making my point for me. Lol.

Did Matt Judge and his team just decided to go sign VDB for signing sake?

I said you Matt Judge and his team job is negotiation after the manager/scout has recommended a player (Ed will obviously give the go ahead) then Matt Judge and his team can begin negotiation.

If there’s no news about us looking at any players to sign, who are you going to blame? The board?
