Sorry *26What?
Sorry *26What?
The Spanish league has spent a little over 200m total this summer. Half of that was Bellingham alone. Only other clubs left that spend any money are PSG, Bayern, á few Italian and German clubs.How hasnt the club managed to sell him yet? Nobody really interested or does he want to keep his salary?
Yeah we are definitely taking a hit on himI think a club would be absolutely bonkers to pay 20 million great British pounds for VDB and I don't think it will happen. One of the most utterly pointless footballers to ever grace a United shirt. He didn't even have it in him to be outright terrible by action, he did it through omitting to do anything at all and for me that's more annoying.
I think we take what we can get on this one. I wouldn't hold my breath imagining a team like Real Sociedad is going to produce a high fee by their standards. Just get him gone.
Epitome of a Woodward signing. Wanted Grealish, got van de Beek.Yeah we are definitely taking a hit on him

Have you watched him play at United over the years?How hasnt the club managed to sell him yet? Nobody really interested or does he want to keep his salary?
Being able to sell him at £10million would be a miracle up there with the sale of Macguire.Yeah we are definitely taking a hit on him
Getting that from Sociedad looks an askBeing able to sell him at £10million would be a miracle up there with the sale of Macguire.
I disagree. 10m is a fair price to sell DVB. Anything more and Sociedad are asking too much for them to take him from us.Being able to sell him at £10million would be a miracle up there with the sale of Macguire.
Has he shown anything recently to motivate that risk for a club that ever topped out at €20m though?I disagree. 10m is a fair price to sell DVB. Anything more and Sociedad are asking too much for them to take him from us.
Still amazes me that someone who looked amazing in the Champions League under Ten Hag looked so average in the Premier League. I thought Ten Hag taking over would improve his form, but nothing happened and he got injured.Imagine if he wasnt already a United player when Eth became manager. We would be all over him.
Yeah I thought it would click under Erik so now it's time to cut our losses on this oneStill amazes me that someone who looked amazing in the Champions League under Ten Hag looked so average in the Premier League.

La liga seem pretty broke outside Madrid / Barca at the moment if above post is correct.

You missed me. I'd snap their hands off if they're ok to take him on a free.I disagree. 10m is a fair price to sell DVB. Anything more and Sociedad are asking too much for them to take him from us.
He just looks intimidated when he plays. There just no swagger about his play that you need to play at OT .Still amazes me that someone who looked amazing in the Champions League under Ten Hag looked so average in the Premier League.

He's on 100k+/week.Is he on high wages? We might as well let him stay, his value is very low now + he plays the same role as Mount so if we're really going for this system, Donny might be useful.
They just dont have the funds I think. The one thing that is nice with Sociedad is they have a decent track record of "fixing" promising players down on their luck. Personally, and might just be wishful thinking, but he strikes me as a system player and us lacking system has probably not helped him out. ETH knows him so I wonder if he is written off at this stage in his plans? If so he needs a fresh start elsewhere even if it's a low price loan.You missed me.

Everton saw enough in that loanSurely there must be some premier league club at least mildly interested and willing to pay around £10m or so? It's peanuts these days and an underwhelming player for United could still be very decent at the likes of Everton Forest, Luton etc
Rather we just sold all the deadwood instead of anymore pointless loans
Sell him for 5-8million euros but with a 40% sell-on clause. Let them build him up and scam another big club into buying him.They just dont have the funds I think.

He was already loaned at Everton and did nothing, why would any other PL club touch him?Surely there must be some premier league club at least mildly interested and willing to pay around £10m or so?

I think some of our players that failed a bit are on way too high salary vs what they produce, they are stuck in a bad place where they have to take a massive cut to be interesting for other clubs or stay on the bench since they won't get that kind of deal again. Can't be certain but it's likely a big factor? Had they been on a more normal salary the will to move and interest would be higher to match them to correct level of a club. Donny on 100k+ just doesn't make any sense.Perhaps Ajax don’t want him, but would a move back not suit him?
I’m assuming they still play a similar style to what they did under eth, aka the Ajax way?
be a shame for his career to fizzle out as there’s obviously a decent player in there somewhere, I just think he needs to find his confidence again and perhaps the PL just didn’t suit him (or United)
This sounds too shrewd for usSell him for 5-8million euros but with a 40% sell-on clause. Let them build him up and scam another big club into buying him.
To be fair, if he's "only" on £100k then that's a fair salary for someone costing £40m or so. I'm just surprised we didn't put him straight on £200k.I think some of our players that failed a bit are on way too high salary vs what they produce, they are stuck in a bad place where they have to take a massive cut to be interesting for other clubs or stay on the bench since they won't get that kind of deal again.

New team, new rays of hope!!This sounds too shrewd for us
So wait till he morphs into prime Lampard at Sociedad only to leave on a free to PSG in 4 years. That'll teach you all haters a lesson.This sounds too shrewd for us
I mean, we can only comment on the ability he has shown over the past few seasons, no? Credit to him if he turns his career around in such spectacular fashion at the age of 26.So wait till he morphs into prime Lampard at Sociedad only to leave on a free to PSG in 4 years.

He's shown some clues - he can run aimlessly, boomerang the ball back to the source, gets easily bullied when with the ball and technical ability to score only when he mishits the ball. He'll fit into an avg La Liga club just fine.I mean, we can only comment on the ability he has shown over the past few seasons, no?
