It’s not true if we say pay 80m and until we see how he plays nobody can say we overpaid. I meant that is not true. If we paid that much for him, his contribution at the maximum of his ability will never be worth it.
Yes he’s very young but been around forever. He’ll have gained some valuable experience and is now adding different leagues to his CV.
De Ligt obviously has more accolades and younger. Personally I don’t rate Kounde but he is also younger and proven in a better league.
Yeah I guess moving to bayern is a difficult one - you’re expected to win the league and your season is almost entirely based on how you perform in the UCL. But he’ll suit their style and like you say, he should turn out to be a very good signing and player for them
That was addressed. I can easily say what if he scores 50 goals? These are two equally absurd scenarios. Also what makes you a mind reader to know what his maximum ability will be? You're making random predictions.
It's an estimation, no different than the estimations on FIFA or FM. Pure speculation and thus you can't deduce from the fee alone whether or not a team overpaid or underpaid for a transfer. It's not hard to understand.
I think we should leave it as it is. I have different opinion on something that is paid based on estimation at the end of the day.
And it still doesn't make any real-world sense.
I like the homage to Swansea City
Lovely analysis but I think you're underestimating his potential there , he's not that great in anything that he does yey but he's one of the most complete defenders around and I feel if he adds better passing to his locker and improve the other areas of his game a bit he'd end up as one of the standouts of this generation.

He has a right to be miffed. He was one of, if not outright the best player for us last season. There should be no reason why he's on basically 0 playing time right now. Neither Kim nor Upa were so amazing that they should be outright undroppable.
He was probably just upset with the Onana situation. After consoling him he needed some alone time.
They mentioned it during the game and I’d completely forgotten so assumed he was injured.
Same here.
When a thread takes a handbrake turn within two posts.
Just imagine how fat he'd be if he discovered GreggsIs his father still fat?
To be honest, I totally forgotten about him for some reason.
Even the bullets we dodge somehow ricochet back towards us.
It's funny about De Ligt. Outsiders (i.e., people that don't really follow the clubs he plays for) often talk of him as a bit of a failure that's really not living up to his initial promise; but from what I understand, fans at Juve were really happy with him (after a slow start), and so apparently he's been great at Bayern as well (which I think also took a little time at the start?). I think I'll trust those clubs' fans, and will agree with @bosnian_red that he'd be great for United if he can play in Varane's position.
(Although with all the injuries and De Ligt not getting minutes at Bayern, a winter loan might start making sense. But United might prioritize RW now... )Nah, straight swap for Maguire. Tuchel loves a PL player or two.
Sounds fair to me. Former United captain and England starter for Bayern bench player.
Seen maybe 10-15 games of Bayern since he moved but I have never been impressed by him. If anything, seemed to make a blunder in every game.
Given his injury history - Varane. Although I'm not convinced he is actually better than either of them
