Not denying he is a good player. More about his natural fit for the kind of style I think Ten Hag is trying to build.
High territory, withh lots of pressing requires players with outstanding technique to prevent unnecessary ball losses and having to reorganise around the half way line and close to your box. High intense pressing is impossible if you are constantly losing the ball, you can't squeeze the pitch, you will run out of gas, doped or not.
I would naturally want the link between our attack and midfield to be more a techical player with an ability to play in tight spaces, keep the ball and link play in the final third.

Game opens up once we get to 1-0, though. You can have 10 players chosen to get us to 1-0 and Bruno to thrive when the game opens up.
 
He just wants to be friends. Move on, delete his phone number and stop stalking him.
 
At this stage I’d say no if the transfer were down to me and needed my ok.
 
Why do I get the feeling you’re enjoying posting these?! :angel:
Just updating the threads I know are of great interest to us :lol:

Hope we move on to another target personally, think we could definately manage someone like Fernandez with the same amount we offered for De Jong last summer.

If we're not looking to break the bank there's still quality options out there like Lobotka from Napoli or Ounahi
 
There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.
 
There is no Frenkie train. It’s not a train carriage, it’s a portacabin on a bleak abandoned industrial estate car park full of weirdos sat in rows gently rocking back and forth whispering ‘he told ETH he wants to come’ and ‘things are happening’ while @golden_blunder runs around the seats shouting “CHOO CHOO! Tickets please!” :nervous::wenger::D
Holy crap this is funny :lol:.
I don't care, I still want him. He's still better than any other player that's been suggested for that position.
 
Like a dog with a frickin’ bone! He doesn’t want to come Erik, nothing has changed since the summer. Let it go lad, move on!

Yeah target Fernandez/Caqueret/Bennacer hell even Rabiot rather than someone who won't leave

In 18 months time I'm hoping that Hannibal will become our midfield maestro, and all this De Jong talk will be over. In fact I hope that a few of our youngsters will come through and establish themselves in the first team squad, especially midfield as Casemiro, Eriksen and Fernandes are all gradually phased out, but we are talking three four years here.
It will be interesting to see if De Jong plays for Barca against us, I'm really looking forward to this game, and to see if we are ready to compete with, and beat some of these 'big' clubs in europe.
 
Wesley Snijder 2.0. Years from now ETH will reveal we were never in for him, shortly after winning his 3rd European treble and 10th PL title. :devil:

:lol: . Sneijder. Astonishing. That thread must still set the benchmark. With honourable mentions for both Thiago and Fabregas. Add FDJ to those last 2, and it must beg the question:
After over a decade of next level muppetry, what evidence do we now possess, that would make anyone seriously believe we can actually sign a midfielder from Barcelona?:D

He told ETH he wants to come. TalkSPORT said so. :wenger:

Pretty sure last summer De Jongs transfer thread smashed the record for highest page count. Probably not highest per active members on the site but still....

Really? Wow! I admit I didn't partake of the FDJ thread anywhere near as often as the Sneijder thread. It really must have reached levels of hysteria far beyond what I had previously believed possible.
 
:D A nice try. But, didnt we initially buy him as a winger?

Thats what you get for cheating :p
But that's just a fancy way of saying peripheral midfielder!
Hmm you know what I'm gonna cheat again , I raise an old Trafford favorite mark Hughes.(he played as an attacking mid here and there i think)
