VVD and de Ligt start with de Vrij as backup. De Vrij might actually be better than de Ligt at this moment in their career though.
If you think we'll have a spare 80 million floating around to sign a 28 year old after we hopefully buy Sancho, then you're not living in the real world. We'll be spending 20 million max on an up and coming defender as that is all we'll have to spend.
Alaba's quoted price is 30-40m. He has 1 year left on his contract. I'd rather sign Sancho and spend 40m on Alaba than on Grealish.
Of course it does - as in just, keep playing as you are type of thing until the end of the season.Right and we need a left footed centre back keep going makes so much sense
His dream is to go to Spain. Ole will only sign players who dream of playing for Man Utd. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/footbal...l-choose-spain-england-bayern-contract-talks/
Doesn't matter where he dreams of playing. Besides Barca and Madrid don't need him. We might not even be his 5th choice but if we are looking for a left footed CB and a Maguire pair then we should be in for him and If he doesn't want to come here then move on.
You shouldn'tbe arguing with him. He's the only one that heard different.Of course it does - as in just, keep playing as you are type of thing until the end of the season.
Why would he say, you need luck as a centre back? To say sorry for scoring 5?
I can absolutely guarantee you that we have absolutely no interest in him. We're not spending a ton of money on a 28 year old who is 5'11 in height. Let it go
No! I won't
Zagadou is unreliable.
He said you need a bit of luck in these situations keep going. He never mentioned centre backsOf course it does - as in just, keep playing as you are type of thing until the end of the season.

I am not fully on board the Ake train either but it’s a bit harsh to compare the record of a team in the bottom half of the table. Of course they are going to concede a lot. It’s not just him in defense. The rest of them are shit.
It's almost as if Bournemouth aren't very good.
Let’s say he did (which he didn’t), why would Ake laugh at that?
Keep going in that context obviously means keep progressing. It's words of encouragement. Keep pushing, keep moving, keep going. If you can't see how that makes sense then you're not smart
no sense at all . Least you the encouraging context which is all he was doingExactly. This is the reason for our transfer failures. We buy an average player for a position and don't strengthen it for next few windows as we have other priorities and miss a quality player who becomes available in next windows.
Yeah totally agree that we need to wait for the right CB & DM to become available rather than rush out and sign one just for the sake of it.
@lsd
They talk about it in Ole's press conference today.
You still sticking to your story?

There was an awful lot made of your remarks to Nathan Ake after the game on Saturday. Did you really mean you wanted a left-footed centre-back? That’s what you seemed to say to him…

Or more of an admission he doesn't know why he said it? He didn't say "I did not say that" did he
In Maguire's 'breakout' season for Hull City in which he won Player of the Year, they conceded 80 goals. Thank God we dodged that bullet.
They also got Winjaldum, Robertson, Oxlade, Matip, Minamino and Solanke.
Played next to Robertson too.
I do agree with this generally but if the money is low enough then I won’t be completely against it. If Bournemouth get relegated then I read his fee could be down to 20m. Obviously I don’t know if it’s true but hypothetically let’s say it is. Sometimes bringing in players with some potential and playing them in a team with better players might make them better. Vidic and Evra weren’t world beaters when he got them. But we turned them into world class players. Again I’m not saying Ake is going to turn into one but for 20m it might be worth a punt. At that price the risk is low and the reward is good enough.

And you'll never be an Audiologist.
Lindelof maybe (subjective), Bailly definitely not, any objective football fan would swap Bailly for Ake.
Yeah if we are making this our priority after RW then should definitely be targeting better
