No difference between him and Dalot to me. I've never been too impressed.

Barcelona, America, United, or some random German club where he like most Americans end up... Not good enough.
Who can we realistically get

Don't like EtH going for Dest. Dest has proven at Barca that he really is not good enough. He had a good season at Ajax, but in the end that was just one season. There were still questionmarks around him even at Ajax. That's why Ajax had no problem selling him on so soon. Although I can see that Dest is a better match with what Ten Hag wants to do, than AWB and maybe also Dalot, ultimately he simply isn't good enough.

Cavani was great in his first year
Still a panic signing though, whichever way you look at it, Cavani was never a player "on the list" until all other options had run dry.

Sounds like he's a sweetener possibly for FDJ deal. We take 2 of their wage bill. I certainly don't see Chelsea wanting Dest.

Dalot will be a Maldini when compared to Dest, in terms of defending

Would take him over Wan Bissaka but he's probably just gonna be backup for dalot if he comes

Wouldn't be a fan tbh, doubt he'd offer anything more than Dalot can.

Also feck helping those shady Catalan bastards in any way

Weren't Barca just linked with Wan-Bissaka, Dalot, and a bunch of other mediocre/bad RB's a few days a go? Why would they target them if they already have Dest? Is he deemed to be worse than them by Barca?

Wouldnt make any difference to a FDJ deal given the issue is FDJ wanting to be paid in full and not Barca playing hardball.

Barca would sell us FDJ, Dest, Depay and Braithwaite in a heartbeat if we wanted all of them.

But if it means getting FDJ then Im all for it.

Much as I want this to be linked to De Jong salary issue, think we are being too optimistic of that happening at all.

Unless he's the only path to securing de jong I'd stay away, I doubt he offers any upgrade to dalot.

Our main problem is that none of our fullbacks can defend. I'm not sure that Sergiño Dest is the solution to that problem.

It's weird that dest fee is the exact same as FDJ owed wages
