If Blind continued at CB for United we would remain 4th-6th. We need Van Dike/De Ligt/Stam level Dutchies. Not this Blind ish. He's way below the standard. Any one wonder why he is playing for Ajax again at 28 and not a Barcelona or City?
Because he played only CB for 3/4 of a season under LVG before not playing at all under Jose or at LB when he felt nice. Why the hell would Barcelona want him then.
Why is vermalean at Barcelona?
The fact is - Blind is no doubt better than Jones, Rojo, Bailly and to some with a certain style is better than Smalling and the apparent average ball player that is Lindelof.
The guy should not have been sold. He is good enough to be atleast the 3rd or 4th CB at this club instead we kept all the tall bulky pacey ones instead that was wanted by Jose and his drooling fans.
De ligt - Smalling - Blind
just one of the most simplest things that could have been done if you wanted your next stam aswell. If not then Lindelof doesn't look bad there either.
Instead we are worse off and none of our defenders ever feel like a partnership or correlation. I refuse to believe Blind wasn't an important part of that.
