Or he plans to have Pogba sit deep and play the Pirlo role (which I don't agree with as he just doesn't have the discipline).No idea how. Maybe he means for certain games.
Good shout, didn't even think of that!Van Gaal? (Not a player, I know, but did have his moments)
I’m not sure they’d go for that. They wouldn’t have sold VDB if they didn’t feel they had a replacement coming through. It’s not within their best interests to sell on their youth players before they’ve even had the chance to represent Ajax. They’re a club with ambitions after all, they just know they can’t keep them past a certain pointHahaha good chant!
Lads are there any youth/young players at Ajax who could end up worth 40 million but we could probably get for 20 now? They seem to be an easy club for us to do business with but I don’t know much about their team apart from what I see in the CL
obviously it’s better for the player and Ajax to develop fully there but I’m kind of talking about overpaying early for the right player.I’m not sure they’d go for that.

Going for a 5-2 score every game then! Especially as VDB mentioned in the interview that Ole wants him to get into the box as much as possible.Tweet

Who has?He's played DM more than any other position.
No point is there? Ajax develop their players anyway, it’s probably one of the best places in Europe for a young Dutch lad to get first team football and play CL as well. We’d only stick an 16-18 in the reserves and maybe loan them out. I’m sure if some prodigy came along we’d go hard and give them big money now with a two season loan back to the club or something but there’s not within anyone’s best interests for us to pay big and early on someone who might not make it or Ajax to sell on the cheap when the player could be worth over £50m in 3 seasons.obviously it’s better for the player and Ajax to develop fully there but I’m kind of talking about overpaying early for the right player.
Met him a few years back, and a very genuine guy. Always liked him as a player as well.Now if we're talking about a player who gives his all for the shirt without being as overrated as Herrera, Noble is your man
We've had variations of that chant for years. I think it might have even been invented at United.Tweet

It's a party chant
thats Nicky Butts chant we should come up with a new oneloved it!! absolutely fraking loved it!!!
"Give it up" now...it's in my head already
I haven't even seen the guy play much, but I said the same thing about Bruno without having seen a great deal of him either and look what happen. So I'll continue to speak my doubts without any weight behind it since it seems to serve the club well.I suggest you rewatch some of his matches. You didn’t describe him all too well there.
Nicky Butt hasn’t played for us in nearly 2 decades mate. Would be a great chant for Donnythats Nicky Butts chant we should come up with a new one
Not in anyone’s interest to buy these players as you say.No point is there?

yer bollocks will itNicky Butt hasn’t played for us in nearly 2 decades mate. Would be a great chant for Donny
We did that for Ashley Young, to be fair, but I think the fans will come up with something unique for Donny for sure instead of recycling something.yer bollocks will it
these chants are scared
whatever next? Singing 12 days of Lingard at Christmas
that was a travesty tooWe did that for Ashley Young, to be fair, but I think the fans will come up with something unique for Donny for sure instead of recycling something.
Good thing we don't recycle chants too often.that was a travesty too
kids today eh
I know. It's a little joke that ignores the pronunciation, and yes I know beak is not beek, that's the play on words.That's not the correct pronunciation mate
No don't give me excuses, you got something wrong which is the worst thing you can do on the caf.I know. It's a little joke, that ignores the pronunciation.
Like that. Can't stop singing it now.Tweet

Stealing Peter Wrights chant ffs!Like that. Can't stop singing it now.
I like how so many of his goals are either first time shots or just one quick touch.He's really like Lampard, just the way he positioned himself.
Also just how many goals he scored with headings? I think Ole and the gang inspired by my thread when they're looking at VdB.

Agreed, I have no time for any kindness or well wishing in life. This is fecking football gdi!Am I the only one that's finding this whole "we'll take good care of him", "please take good care of our sweet boy" sentiment a little cringe? He's a 23 year old professional footballer, not a 2 month old Labrador.
Yep. He has pretty good first touch. He's not like Herrera at all, I might say.I like how so many of his goals are either first time shots or just one quick touch.
Wow his first Ajax goal was against Molde (presumably managed at the time by Ole?)He's really like Lampard, just the way he positioned himself.

Good observation, mate . It was an impossible goal to save also.Wow his first Ajax goal was against Molde (presumably managed at the time by Ole?)
You’ve highlighted the formation I can’t wait to see when we‘re going balls to the wall: Paul-Bruno-Donny in midfield.Now that he's signed up, I'll speculate on something I think could work under perfect circumstances which we arent able to meet yet. But perhaps with 1 more huge transfer we would.
And thats the idea of Pogba playing as the deepest player in midfield, playing the quarterback and deep lying playmaker role with Bruno and DVB pressing aggressively and having lots of pressure on the ball. I think in our current state it would only work against weaker teams and might not even work then because of a lack of support for the defense.
But. If we sign a top top CB. For example someone with huge potential and already playing at a high level like Upamacano to help out Maguire and we continue to play our solid fullbacks who can help the defense a lot, I think that could work as plan A in the majority of our games. Perhaps even if we played Smalling next to Maguire we might be able to get by with our defense doing all the actual defending and Pogba just being around positionally and with his physicality and not doing a particularly good job as DM. That would allow 5 of our players to get forward with Pogba setting them off with a creative pass into an advanced position.
