He was so talented too

He looks a bit like Shitty Jimmy from You're The Worst.
It would be long overdue.
He played as an 8 before joining us his coach said. Never watched him before though but our team does not need a 10 eitherway.
No always 10 except maybe one game.
Watch villa drop that asking price now that we have hopefully moved on and after realizing the referees have caught on to his olympics level diving ability next season.
So, so gassed. Now our creativity doesn't fall off a cliff when Pogba or Bruno are unavailable.
The way this has all transpired is so unlike how our business is usually done.

His stats will be even better playing with a regular sized ball...
Swiss_Red89 is struggling to take it in I think.FM legend
Excellent.Hopefully we break our penalty record of this past season
Still think Ziyech was the one we should have bought from Ajax and would have filled a immediate need in the first XI (that guy is special) unlike Donny whos position is already occupied. But I'm not not complaining. It's a long season and depth is needed.
Provided the starting XI is addressed properly ie DLP CB, RW this transfer may be amazing value for money. CL proven too. Won't find a better backup players around

Just allowed myself to watch a highlights video of a player before we’ve actually confirmed the signing for the first time in ages. Couldn’t help but think his passing was a bit crap until I realised they’d separated the video into sections and I was watching the dribbling section.
Really excited about this now. At the very least he improves our depth which is one of our biggest weaknesses. Looks to have a few tricks up his sleeve as well.

I didn't know about Nouri. Heartbreaking story.
Just read this BBC article :

Would be great to see him wear the number.
Welcome home Donny!
Brilliant insight. Your promotion will be imminent if you keep this up.
May I point out that for all the talk we always get fleeced for once the fee does not seem so big? Roughly half of what they got for De Ligt.
Can just about manage to say his name.
Someone needs to get him some sugar water!
Buyout clause, we paid it straight away.
SORRY IT’S THE PHONE
this is another reference. Please don’t use all caps.
Replace "2 weeks" with Donny van de Beek

Not world class but a quality right winger all the same.
Good signing. Very interested to see what your first choice midfield looks like.
Delighted with this especially at that price.
I guess the plan has been to get Sancho for that position, be it on this or the next summer. Which probably meant that we are not interested in other expensive players who play on that position.
I guess this means no Sancho. If we couldn’t afford 120m we wouldn’t be spending 40 now?
Good signing, but wonder how the midfield will look like, if Pogba, Bruno and de beek all fit. Hope it's just the start of our window, and go for a wing and left back.
VdB could well be paid for on the tick so only like 10m out of this years pot to pay for it.
I tihnk BvB want more up front.
He looks a decent enough player from when I've watched him play, technically sound and can do a bit of everything. He's not a signing that is particularly exciting or one I expect to be a game changer but he will add more quality to the squad which is good.
I think what I'm really happy about is it means Pereira and Lingard are further away from playing time. Get a right winger and you can add Mata to that list.

The eredivise was cancelled because Covid.
How are you baffled by them when you answer yourself in the next sentence?
Good player, but it feels like we’re trying to fill a hole that doesn’t exist in the team.
I’ll be more sold on him if we can sign 2-3 more players, so perhaps it’s just the order of them that’s puzzling me.
I honestly think we should buy more players from Ajax since their such a good club to deal with and won't demand a ridiculous transfer fee like English clubs do with their best players. Also another reason is their CEO Edwin Van Der Sar is a manchester united legend. Fantastic signing
Any chance that he could play DM for us?
Ajax fans love him and are gutted to see him leave, but wishes him all the best. Very similar feelings to how it was when Bruno joined us. Pretty sure he will be a success for us. Just hope caftards can lay down the hate and vitriol while he is settling in.
Slight chance, but he has the ability to play there, though I wouldn't say that it makes the most of his abilities.
He may not be the first signing we wanted but he is an addition the squad needs.
And i don't necessarily think he is simply mooted as cover or groomed for the Pogba or Bruno roles. He could play in the same structure in the Matic role against opposition that give us the lions share of possession.
He would also give us the option of playing a few more flexible formations such as a midfield diamond with 2 up front which is especially beneficial with a squad lacking out and out winger or quality wide players.

I hope he does well.
Tbh I never rated him as highly as some of the other Ajax products, but there are definitely some people with a lot more knowledge in football that took a good look at him, so I'm ready to be proven wrong.

I love this post
How do we justify paying E120million for Sancho now?
