I have no idea, but Ole doesn't seem the type to buy players purely to bolster the squad. All of his previous signings have gone directly into the starting eleven.
Neither me, and yet you have people on here who seem to question these kind of signings. I don't understand the mentality. It's not difficult to grasp. Pogba played only 16 EPL games last season, Bruno looked spent the last few games. Bringing in VDB, will provide cover and competition for those two, without us having to rely on the likes of Mata, Andreas, and Lingard which is where the quality then falls off like a cliff.
Cool, thanks.
I.e. In 2 weeks
They are just guessing.
That guy said that Wenger would coach Holland. It’s bullshit.
If we sign Grealish he will be backup too. So you want 80m backup or 40m backup?
They dont claim to, either. They translate and report what's reported in the media and judge the credibility of the source. Cant believe people still dont know what they do.

P34 games last season scored 14 (8 in the league) 7 assists. If I had to think of a premier league player reminded me of him, it would be Lampard. I am not saying for one moment he will ever be as prolific as Lampard, but he is that kind, always in and around the box. Dangerous player. Technically very good
What source? Try reading it, they don’t claim to have a source.
Honestly there is enough smoke in this transfer that we don't need to scrape the bowl for this shit
What a teaser! I have a feeling he'll move to United this window the way recent reports are cropping up. If he does, then a great upgrade on Lingard and Pereira.
I think he's on the phone with his kids but doesn't quite understand the rules of peek-a-boo.
Have we not reached the parabolic mic muppetry for transfers yet? We have flight trackers, family members leaks, only thing left is spy work.
He's on the phone with his wife. "What are you wearing? Oh sexy. We are so going to get it on tonight."
You're right, and they never claim to be ITK. They aggregate transfer stories and post them. They will post credible and non credible links.
Yup looks good in mid. If we can get a RW ( please Sancho and not Brooks) and CB in also then we will be much closer to where we need to be. Would be happy to see some players sold though

And considering Pogba's contract situation. It is better to sign VDB now and be prepared and not be desperate in the near future. Gives us a good/upper hand in Pogba's contract negotiation.
He looks frustrated and exasperated in this video...must be dealing with us....this is van den ON!
Grealish is a decent player but his best matches came as a left inside forward. Also Aston Villa has priced him out at 60m-80m. VDB is a great talent who will come for 30m-40m. That allow us to buy other players. I also have a feeling he'll become pretty popular with both fans and Ole. He's the tenacious, box to box, complete midfielder they both like
The idea of strength in depth seems alien or outrageous to some fans on here.
Who is he starting ahead of when everyone is fit? Why would he be happy to come and not be a starter, and why would we pay the supposed 40m+ for someone that we don't intend on starting? You can talk about a long season, everyone gets a chance etc. etc., but at the end of the day, some players get 40+ games, and some get 20, with half of those being 15/20 mins at the end of games. He must believe he is going to play to come here, in my opinion.
Or he fancies himself to establish hinself at Utd?
Exactly what I was thinking! The transfer makes almost too much sense. Unless he does a Schneiderlin.
They never claim to though and they are quite good at times for getting to the bs source of a lot for gossip.
People are confused, they want world class players, but they don’t want to pay money. They want squad depth, but you get linked with someone with CL class and experience and apparently they’re not good enough. You get linked with a young talented player (Brooks), and apparently we’re settling for mediocrity.
We would've had people moaning about Messi, Sancho, Van De Beek summer I'm sure. 'yea it's all well we spunked that cash but how about the full-back position?'
Used to be. Their head is up their own ass now.
Who is this saber fella?
And they haven’t even got to “Liverpool buy Thiago and we buy this lad...”
