Well too late for thatThe fact he’d be our second Ajax signing in 5 years that we’re sending back after they flopped, to me suggests we shouldn’t be buying a third. Tricky though if Ten Hag is demanding him and only him.

He did have a run here and at Goodison but was always a passenger in all those matches. They tell academy kids that they need to grab the opportunities if presented. Donnie never did.Our midfield baseline has been lower than that for 3 years. If we gave him a run over those years that level might have risen a bit.
He had a run of 5 games here. I must have missed that.He did have a run here and at Goodison but was always a passenger in all those matches. They tell academy kids that they need to grab the opportunities if presented. Donnie never did.
Clearly, you are suffering from cognitive bias. I rarely criticise United players unless the cnut is disloyal. But in the case of Donnie, there is not for any lack of opportunities. He is on his 4th manager here or since he came over to the UK. Clearly, his is best within a certain system only and is like a duck out of the water so far. It's his 3rd season now and he barely moved the needle.He had a run of 5 games here. I must have missed that.
I just think he's better than Scotty. I don't think that's that outrageous an idea. If he got 5 games other people would see it too.Clearly, you are suffering from cognitive bias.

I just don't see any evidence of that. McT, however, on average is perceived, has had quite a number of impactful performances. You can actually have a highlight video of Scotty. I am not sure you can say the same of Donnie.I just think he's better than Scotty. I don't think that's that outrageous an idea. If he got 5 games other people would see it too.
another one in a long list of players, who gets better when he doesn't play.I just think he's better than Scotty. I don't think that's that outrageous an idea. If he got 5 games other people would see it too.
Is the other Blind?The fact he’d be our second Ajax signing in 5 years that we’re sending back after they flopped, to me suggests we shouldn’t be buying a third. Tricky though if Ten Hag is demanding him and only him.
Oh yeahWell too late for that
Yeah. He’d probably do alright for us now tbf, but he didn’t exactly set the world alight - and that was before Jose came in and decided he was too short.Is the other Blind?
What a player, I’d have him back in an instant
Absolutely not a shot in hell this happens.Prediction: Donny will win United’s player of the season.
Iqbal did better than him in pre-season, to be frank, then there are also Savage, Garner and Mejbri. It’s unlikely DVB will see a lot of game time this year.Prediction: Donny will win United’s player of the season.
I genuinely hope you’re not a betting man.Prediction: Donny will win United’s player of the season.
We been saying the same about Dortmund, Kagawa and Mkhitaryan.The fact he’d be our second Ajax signing in 5 years that we’re sending back after they flopped, to me suggests we shouldn’t be buying a third. Tricky though if Ten Hag is demanding him and only him.
I have high hopes for Sancho this season but I am not going to declare him a success based on a couple of sprightly pre season games.We been saying the same about Dortmund, Kagawa and Mkhitaryan.
Sancho now is looking like a great signing and everyone on here wanted Haaland.
I would personally love it. Great recovery story.Prediction: Donny will win United’s player of the season.
If we loan him to Sheffield United, maybePrediction: Donny will win United’s player of the season.
Shiny new toy syndrome.I have seen enough to make my mind up and he isn't nearly good enough. Just don't get the love he gets here.
Logically, this makes no sense, given that he has failed to impress multiple managersPrediction: Donny will win United’s player of the season.
But Scotty willBeing arguably better than McT doesn't make you good enough. I don't see the upside and I can't imagine him becoming a first team regular even under ETH.
Playing DvD in Scotts position is a tactical disaster. De Jong is wanted to take Scotts place, playing Donny there would be absurd..But Scotty will
I'd give Donny a chance over McT every day of the week. People criticise Donny and don't get me wrong he's done nothing in his time here but he's never had a run of games and never had a chance to actually play. McT has played most games week in, week out and has proven he's a shocking CM at this level. We have to try something different and if that means giving Donny a go instead of McT at least we can say we tried.Playing DvD in Scotts position is a tactical disaster. De Jong is wanted to take Scotts place, playing Donny there would be absurd..
So what did we learn from the mistake of buying Donnie?Too bad, had high hopes for him. It's prerty clear that he won't make it here. Should start learning from our previous mistakes and sell him while we can.

You know what they say.... 4th time lucky.Logically, this makes no sense, given that he has failed to impress multiple managers
Better than playing Scotty in that position. We've all had a good look at thatPlaying DvD in Scotts position is a tactical disaster. De Jong is wanted to take Scotts place, playing Donny there would be absurd..
Luckily you aint the manager. Scott has his limits and is far from ideal, but in his position he is a better player than DvB. Scott would get a hell of a lot more minutes for Everton than Beek. If your opinion that everything else but, Mctom, we have youngstersI'd give Donny a chance over McT every day of the week.

Personally I'd play neither and against Brighton I'd go with Fred and Eriksen but I'm sure McT will play and everyone in the match day thread will repeat themselves for the 300th time about how he offers us nothing and shouldn't be playing but then what's new!
I imagine he would sit if told. Like a good collieVDB playing in Mctominay’s position means we have one less midfielder because VDB is always unnecessarily moving on the pitch.
It's not that we bought him, it's that we are so reluctant to sell players that aren't producing.So what did we learn from the mistake of buying Donnie?
