From what I gather from the Dutch press, he's been very good for them. His start there was unlucky with the handballs, and he has had a few injuries and was out with COVID-19; but other than that, he is a stalwart for them. I checked a Juve forum, and their fans also seem very impressed with him.How has his career progressed since making the move? He was being talked about as being a once in a generation defender/world class etc. Has his form been good?
I’d love him but they’d never sellFrom what I gather from the Dutch press, he's been very good for them.

(Sorry, had to retype this as my post got deleted due to its COVID-19 bit.)
Isn't Juve in financial trouble? Selling him might solve a lot of that, cause he'd be at least as expensive as what they got him for and is on high wages (I think); but they might also want to keep him at all cost as he's still young and can be part of the long-term basis of their future team.I’d love him but they’d never sell

They are, but if he's gonna be sold it's gonna be near 100 million i guess, his wages are the highest at Juve besides Ronaldo. So it's gonna be a really expensive transfer, but still worth it i guess.Isn't Juve in financial trouble?

I might be overestimating him, but I think he has the potential to be a Van Dijk-like transfer for a club with defensive weaknesses: very expensive, but fills the hole comprehensively, allowing everything to move to a higher level.They are, but if he's gonna be sold it's gonna be near 100 million i guess, his wages are the highest at Juve besides Ronaldo.

Think you're right on this.Allegri will make him great
yeah i feel the same way, but that might also be because he's Dutch and from the Ajax academy :PI might be overestimating him, but I think he has the potential to be a Van Dijk-like transfer for a club with defensive weaknesses: very expensive, but fills the hole comprehensively, allowing everything to move to a higher level.

It's going to keep happening because of the recent addition of "anti-vaxxer" in the title.Deleted some posts.
This isn't the covid 19 vaccine thread.
Plus he's come out saying he isn't. Could you update the title, @Varun?It's going to keep happening because of the recent addition of "anti-vaxxer" in the title.
I'm also getting most of my info from Dutch sources. I don't suppose United will want to spend big on a CB yet again, but it's clear Maguire needs a better companion there and this would a safe buy that's a clear upgrade. For example, I'd say De Ligt would more clearly and more certainly improve the squad than Sancho, who I don't think is quite as proven; so maybe it's the better way to splash cash, if that's what United want to do.yeah i feel the same way, but that might also be because he's Dutch and from the Ajax academy :P
But for me he's the defender we could use. He's strong, fast, great on the ball and already a (natural) leader. But i think it's too late now for United to get him now, not sure they're gonna splash the cash on him.
Yeah, sortedPlus he's come out saying he isn't. Could you update the title, @Varun?
Pity they aren't playing together at the Euros.He's a monster. Physically i've rarely seen anything like him. He's like Van Dijk only even stronger and faster and more agile, it's absurd
Whenever he's been fit he was juventus best defender by miles
Yep his wages are crippling the club. I hope he doesn’t return to United and sees out his contract with JuveNo idea honestly. They're just praying Cristiano leaves right now i think
Is he actually that fast? I admit I haven't really watched him much, but from the little I have seen I thought he was fairly average pace wise.He's a monster. Physically i've rarely seen anything like him. He's like Van Dijk only even stronger and faster and more agile, it's absurd

Yeah I call BS on De Ligt being faster than Van Dijk.Is he actually that fast? I admit I haven't really watched him much, but from the little I have seen I thought he was fairly average pace wise.

Have you seen Van Dijk recently?Yeah I call BS on De Ligt being faster than Van Dijk.
They've got half a billion CBs already?!City should win this now.
His dad's been a pharmacist for over twenty years, so yeah, he's probably literally the least likely guy in the whole Dutch squad you'd expect to be anti vaxx when you think about thatHe just came out and said he will take the vaccine. Guess he's not an anti vaxxer after all.
Van Dijk is, or at least was faster for sure. De Ligt's pretty agile for a strong bulky guy and he isn't slow, but I wouldn't call him rapid. I'd say he's somewhat similar to Lukaku in terms of how their big physique almost tends to make it seem they have only three or four big sprints in them every match, opposed to say the Jordi Albi type of fullbacks who just throw out these little rapid accelerations 20-30 times per match, and then I would say Lukaku's top speed is a little higher compared to De Ligt's as well.Yeah I call BS on De Ligt being faster than Van Dijk.
What do you mean recently? He's been injured.Have you seen Van Dijk recently?

Your point?
More of a joke than a point, never mind. As you were.Your point?
