Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) discuss United's fantastic win away against Athletic Club in the semi-final of the Europa League.
They also pick out the positives of United's 4-3 loss away at Brentford, and Nik reviews a day out at Old Trafford watching Manchester United Women qualify for the Champions League.
is he any good? know nothing about him
Lets just rename the club Dutchester United
I'm pretty sure there's a Feyenoord fan on here who would love us to take him away.
@KirkDuyt maybe?

If he's going he might as well go to United. He's excellent and plat LB and CB equally well.
50 million and he's all yours.

I just checked his FBref stats, and they're completely ridiculous 
99th percentile in nearly every offensive and possession metric
Maybe a better back-up for Lisandro than Branthwaite? Would for sure be a lot cheaper too. On to YouTube for his compilation!

MdL and Hancko would be two really solid signings. Seems quite attainable and I'm sure we could structure a decent deal with Feyenoord.
A cb should not do these things.
He's not Dutch
Neither is Antony.
Potentially a excellent signing for the LCB/LB role, his technical quality is of a high level and defends aggressively. I think he'd be a good rotation option for Martinez and I don't think he'll cost a lot from a wages and transfer fee pov, which should allow us to make better use of the of the transfer budget.
Neither is Martinez.
Neither is Onana
But Kadioglu definitely is.
You're playing this game wrong
We need to sign ALL the fecking plasyers. Mua ha ha ha ha
You guys want Malacia back?
I thought he looked very good at the euros. Covering LB and CB would make him good value if he's a decent price. I would think Slot would go for him.
No thanks
From his YT reel I really like how he spots the danger and reacts super quick to close the space down. He reminds me a bit of Vidic, only with more pace
I have to say, apart from the Chillwell links, I’ve been really happy with most of our targets so far this summer.
Would be a good signing if it's under 30m. Great character, has some grit, good in the air, strong, good on the ball, can play CB/LB. I was really impressed at the euros.
Yeah, that's the only one I've really thought doesn't make sense.
Would be far cheaper to buy a Dutch club and send ETH back there
So Richard Dunne?
He seems like a good player and it would rile up the usual anti-Dutch/anti-Eredivisie people...bring.
Yeah, I'm with you. I'd be very happy with all of them: Ugarte, Zirkzee, Hancko, de Ligt, and Kadioglu.
How would you compare his performance levels in the Eridevisie to Martinez when he was at Ajax?
I don’t get how he is deemed “too expensive” surely he’s good value being able to cover two positions that are needed.
He seems the type who would see someone like Salah and boot him up in the air... it's a yes from me
I hadn't seen a potential fee reported anywhere. What was it?
No hancho unless we sell sancho
His name is also a nickname, what would the lads call him?
Hanks
There's a science behind football nicknames. I won't go fully into it but it's basically that of your name ends in a vowel it gets switched to a consonant and vice versa.
Hanky
Yeah, I saw that bit. Your post made it sound like you disagree with concerns that he might be too expensive. How did you manage to do that without a reference for how expensive he might be?
I would guess that he's valued at something like 30 million euros, 40 max. Even at that price for someone who can cover both positions really well I don't consider that too expensive.
He's probably the most important player of Slot's tenure at Feyenoord and our best defender since John de Wolf.
Performance levels though, ooph. Ajax did a 6-0-0 in the CL group with Martinez I think. We aren't THAT good, though if all of our team were as good as Hancko we might have.
He's a also very different player. He's extremely composed and relaxed and reads the game well as opposed to being an extremely tenacious tackler like Martinez.
Let's say they're both clearly too good for the Eredivisie. I also don't doubt he will adept to the premier league level.
Oh, Hancko is taller and as far as I know never injured.
His name is pronounced Hantchko by the way.
