Not sure that is accurate. I only read that he said he wants to play there next season, but not a permanent move. Unless it is Sky sources, which i dont think it is going by their tweet, i assume they are guessing based on his quotes. I think it depends on De Gea and his replacement. If we go for Oblak or De Gea signs, he will want to move permanently i assume. If De Gea is not looking likely to sign and we dont target a top keeper, i dont think he will want a permanent move. Depends on what we plan there.Maybe you haven't been paying attention but you might wanna hold your horses there, Deano.
His agent probably being clever, strike while the irons hot (De Gea asking for insane money while playing like Taibi).Maybe you haven't been paying attention but you might wanna hold your horses there, Deano.
It's wrong. They've misquoted him from an interview where he said long term he wants to be man United number 1 but that he wants to play in the prem with sheff utd next season.His agent probably being clever, strike while the irons hot (De Gea asking for insane money while playing like Taibi).
Force the club to make a difficult decision.
120m on a goalkeeper would be incredibly stupid. You could get a decent keeper for a quarter of that. I'm tempted to rule it out as being pure speculation but with Ed in charge who knows? Exactly the kind of decision that comes about from having people in charge of the purse strings with low market familiarity and exactly the kind of decision we'd avoid with a good director of football.Tweet

Even more stupid as we've got three - either keep De Gea and sell Henderson or vice versa. Use the De Gea money (if sold) for a new player.120m on a goalkeeper would be incredibly stupid.

And exactly the kind of decision that has not been taken yet, nor has any precedence under Ed Woodward, perhaps except him refusing to spend £75m+ on Maguire or Alderweireld. Or £50m on Perisic for that matter. Don’t allow the caf to sweep you along in stupidity. You describing it as some sort of typical United deal is fanciful.120m on a goalkeeper would be incredibly stupid. You could get a decent keeper for a quarter of that.

Beyond the fact that his football team pass the ball better than ours, do you know anything at all about his job?Even more stupid as we've got three - either keep De Gea and sell Henderson or vice versa. Use the De Gea money (if sold) for a new player.
We just need Ed.... Edwin VDS that is.
Point, I’m making is it ain’t exactly all rosey over here, in fact probably worse than Atlético’s. Looking inevitable that we are going to miss out on CL unless Chelsea & Arsenal massively f*** up which looks unlikely given that we ain’t firing on all cylinders ourselves. Pogba looks like he wants to go to Real Madrid, Herrera looks PSG bound and many more look like they want out/not keen on committing their long term futures here. Yet garbage like Jones has been given a 4 year contract and Young a year extension.Well apparently Costa is on his way out, Griezmann is flirting with Barca again, Rodri supposedly wants to leave, Lucas Hernandez is gone, their defense is ageing, so I can see why he's concerned
Not much .... asked to come to Ajax by Cruyff, Marketing Director then CEO (3 yrs?), involved with various football bodies on behalf of Ajax and has been involved in transfers. Would like to think Director Of Football at United is not exactly a step down from CEO of Ajax (given size of our club/the challenge), leave Ed.1 to focus on the business side of the club (sponsorship, lenders meetings, etc).Beyond the fact that his football team pass the ball better than ours, do you know anything at all about his job?
Anyone know if it was VDS's idea to present De Jong and De Ligt with a video to give Ajax another year (which was this season)?Not much .... asked to come to Ajax by Cruyff, Marketing Director then CEO (3 yrs?), involved with various football bodies on behalf of Ajax and has been involved in transfers.

Guess some would say if just after someone linked to Ajaxs success then go Overmars but I like the history VDS has with United.
I'm not sure what Ajaxs style of play has to do with VDS (more to do with Ten Hag I'd have thought) but guessing you know more than me (not hard tbh) about his role and presumably something that means he isn't qualified?
(Enjoy your break).
Both Vds and Overmars presented the video to the youngsters De Ligt, De Jong, Kluivert, Onana etc and compared them to Ajax legends of the past.Anyone know if it was VDS's idea to present De Jong and De Ligt with a video to give Ajax another year (which was this season)?
VDS could potentially help us get de Gea to sign a contract and convince De Ligt. I know de Gea was a huge fan of VDS when he was a teenager.
He is without doubt, as good a reserve keeper as you might expect to have. He comes in for cup games and does well. Never complains. Reminds me of Van der Gouw in that way. But I don't see him being good enough to be number 1 for United. We need world class and that is not Romero. If DDG goes we have to go all out for Oblak. We made similar mistakes after Schmeichel and we suffered accordingly until VDS came back.Everyone seems convinced by Romero, I’m not.
We bow to your greater knowledge.Everyone seems convinced by Romero, I’m not.
Me neither, he's a solid back up but has a tendency to have a lapse in concentration and his distribution is well off.Everyone seems convinced by Romero, I’m not.
I agree, hes been a #2 for nearly his whole career. There's a good reason why.Me neither, he's a solid back up but has a tendency to have a lapse in concentration and his distribution is well off.
Edit: best example was vs Bristol City in the League Cup, he was all over the shop that night.
Wow that's big news. Openly admitting he's agreed to join Dortmund.Tweet

I don't understand. On what planet is Barca, not economically profitable? Maybe it's because at say United, Raiola can get him another move to say Barca or Real? Where as if it's Barca or Real, there is no other move the player would want?Tweet

Basically he wants two moves for his client rather than one so he can get two separate fees?I don't understand. On what planet is Barca, not economically profitable?

Yes please, De Ligt plus one.Tweet

Will make more in agent fees signing for us as an example and then 5 minutes later starts angling for a move to Barca to make a second fee.I don't understand.

1)Barca going to give a below market transfer fee that reduces raiola fees. Without competition, it’s highly possible like Frankie.I don't understand.
