I never said it was the main reason, I simply stated it was A factor. One of many. And when the clubs are all huge, they all pay exceptional amounts, and they all play football at a very high level as is the case here, it's lesser factors such as these that can tip the scales.It's not ridiculous, but the players that take their careers more seriously will see the quality of the city as a secondary factor rather than the main reason to make a move.
And come on, it's Manchester we're talking about, a lot of people would love to live there. A lot of the demeaning comments about the city come from a spoiled "first-world problem" perspective.
I think playing in the top 2 leagues, if he has offers from those, would be a better decision, than to move to a beautiful city. He'll earn a shit tonne of money in any of them.I've seen students make a decision heavily impacting their education based on what city they wanted to be in. I've seen people give up their jobs and take a huge financial risk just so they could move to their dream city. However when it's suggested that the location is a factor in deciding where footballers want to play it's ridiculous all of a sudden? Or is it because you think 20 year olds haven't grown a brain yet?
Surely you realize that there's more to it than that? Okay so we're a big club in a top two league. The Ligue 1 may be a lesser league but it's still a step up for him, he'd get to play with better players, he'd be guaranteed CL footy year in year out and he'd be joining a club that isn't at it's lowest point in years.

it's not all of a sudden, i have been of this opinion for a long time. It's better to move to a better league than a nice city, or weather.... maybe because i grew up a place with a lot of rain, and don't really care much about the weather
Sure, it's a step up, but not sure the Barcelonas or PSGs are the best career move, they expect the finished product, and i don't think he is yet.Surely you realize that there's more to it than that?

Given recent history I don't think such a scenario is particularly unlikely. Although I'm not sure how funny we'd find it happening for the umpteenth time.Be funny if we signed him and he did shite. After all the hype
Do they? And don't we? It's not like they haven't bought and played talented youngsters before. Mbappe, Dembele..Sure, it's a step up, but not sure the Barcelonas or PSGs are the best career move, they expect the finished product, and i don't think he is yet.
You don't think he would take where he would be living for the next 5 years or so into consideration?I find it interesting how people on here think that 19-20 year old football players thinks about how nice a city is, when chosing football team
Not many players would go to Juve if it was so important.You don't think he would take where he would be living for the next 5 years or so into consideration?
He's like Nesta and Maldini rolled into one player, with the leadership presence of Franco Baresi.I've not really been following football recently and I haven't seen this guy play. Is he really as good as everyone here is saying? Only 19 years old, feels like people are going overboard but maybe he's genuinely that special?
Because you guys suck right now and you’re desperate for a little excitement and positivity.Why are people getting so giddy?
Hello Minh or Mino..He's like Nesta and Maldini rolled into one player, with the leadership presence of Franco Baresi.
I have never seen people so certain that a player will fulfill his potential than with this lad so there must be something there. Having said that the hype is ridiculous for someone who plays in the Dutch league.Be funny if we signed him and he did shite. After all the hype
He also played in a Semi of the CL and got to the final of the Nations league. It's not like he's only playing Willem II and VVV Venlo every week. Hype is justified on this and he's going for nearly half of what Joao Felix costs .I have never seen people so certain that a player will fulfill his potential than with this lad so there must be something there. Having said that the hype is ridiculous for someone who plays in the Dutch league.
If only we had a 1 horse league, maybe we could have it easy alsoBecause you guys suck right now and you’re desperate for a little excitement and positivity.
I agree with this message - however, how are we to improve our fortunes unless we coup players like him in order to improve our squad. We won't ever let Ed have time to actually try and improve matters unless he leaves or delivers the promises he actually set out with OGS to do... Crazy this! We are in the middle of a crisis and I would say that Man Utd getting this player would help us forget.. at least for a short time that there are more major issues now to deal with... Or we sign Diop and stick with Young and Smalling/Jones at the back with Shaw and improve nothing and fall down even more so.Surely you realize that there's more to it than that?

When they go out and start talking to mancunian women? Ronaldhino wouldn't have lasted here for more than a year5Million pound "footballer's mansion" in Prestbury, Alderley Edge, Bowdon or Hale with your manager and team mates next door - 15 minutes from Manchester Airport gets you anywhere in the world and only 25 minutes from Carrington Training or MUFC - what's not to like ?
Most of em have ridiculous missus anyway and they are hardly hanging out with Manchester uglies when they go out are they?When they go out and start talking to mancunian women? Ronaldhino wouldn't have lasted here for more than a year
PSG doesn’t have a location advantage over Amsterdam.Surely you realize that there's more to it than that? Okay so we're a big club in a top two league.

Cheshire is not even vaguely comparable to Amsterdam. In the latter you can live in one of the coolest Cities on the planet, cycle and walk around, get on the water, be among people without paparazzi stalking you. It’s far more private than Cheshire for that fact alone.Not many players would go to Juve if it was so important.
People also tend to forget that Cheshire is absolutely beautiful, and a great “private” place for footballers to live.
I compared it to Manchester. PSG has numerous advantages over Ajax. Money, players, the league..PSG doesn’t have a location advantage over Amsterdam.
Makes sense why the announcement is taking so long, so many creative options. Bet he's pulling his hair out!Really looking forward to see how Woody chooses to approach unveiling video. Maybe a flickering light bulb to reveal him in full kit with a joint and doing kick ups in a pair of clogs. Would generate soo much interaction
I think I want him to sign even more. Can you imagine a shot walking down a street in Manchester then seeing a window lit up in red and DeLigt appears in a United shirt with a whip...Really looking forward to see how Woody chooses to approach unveiling video.

Ahh red flickering lightbulb! This is good, I like where these ideas are going. #RedDeLigtDistrictI think I want him to sign even more. Can you imagine a shot walking down a street in Manchester then seeing a window lit up in red and DeLigt appears in a United shirt with a whip...
Why the fexk are you talking about Amsterdam you weirdo?Cheshire is not even vaguely comparable to Amsterdam.

No 19 year old earning £100k a week is going to get excited over leaving Amsterdam to go to Cheshire.
That's where De Ligt currently lives you weirdoWhy the fexk are you talking about Amsterdam you weirdo?
He lives in Abcoude. With his parents.That's where De Ligt currently lives you weirdo
He plays in AmsterdamHe lives in Abcoude. With his parents.
He was born in Leiderdorp.He plays in Amsterdam
No shit, but when did I ever mention or compare Amsterdam to anywhere?That's where De Ligt currently lives you weirdo
He dreams of ManchesterHe was born in Leiderdorp.
I think the best way for us to get out of this crisis is to do some sensible deals (instead of massively overpaying for past it stars like Bale). I'm fine with Andersen instead of De Ligt. Or Hysaj/Meunier instead of Wan-Bissaka. We have tried the superstar approach and sure signing one appeases the fans but for how long? A few weeks into the season until they realise we're still not good enough?I agree with this message - however, how are we to improve our fortunes unless we coup players like him in order to improve our squad.

He was just comparing where he currently lives to Cheshire as you were describing Cheshire as a private paradise. You on the blob mate?No shit, but when did I ever mention or compare Amsterdam to anywhere?
