Deserves its own thread. Can I love this man anymore than I already do? Still saving our arses many years down the line. Need to be our DoF at some point. No brainer. Intelligence and class.
Van der Sar classy letter
- Thread starter DeGea
- Start date
Love him.
Let's ditch De Gea and Henderson and put Van der Sar back in goal.
I said it before in another thread that we actually have Van Der Saar to thank for this deal. He’s obviously endorsed us to Donny. Got slated for saying he’s one of the reasons Donny’s come to us.
I enjoyed that, VDS seems like such a brilliant person. One of my favourites, I’d love to have a pint with him and listen to some stories.
This. I reckon he could still do a half decent job especially in cup games.
He really is a wonderful fecking man. VdS is a legend.
Been wanting him as our DoF for 2 years now... please Edwin. Save us from this wolf of wallstreet who has no clue about football.
Clearly inaccurate. That being said, VDS would be a great addition.
Wow. What a class act this is. He's a pride to both Ajax and Manchester United.
That squad was full of players that actually had a genuine love for the club; we were blessed to have EVdS & hopefully DVdB can have similar successes.
He seems settled in his home country at the biggest team there also. He’s probably got no desire to be our DOF and the scrutiny that goes with it.

I really hope we see him at our club in some capacity and I will be happy if he becomes our DOF.
That's great. What paper was that in?
Oozing class that letter, clearly still does have a fondness for United.
Manchester Evening News
Get that man in at United!
He'd be the best signing we would ever make in any transfer window to replace Woodward

That’s lovely, reminds me of some of the letters penned by Sir Alex, albeit SAF’s letters were usually personal and shared later rather than open.
He needs to be our CEO. DoF is so far beneath him now any talk of getting him in for that position is an insult to the man - he's CEO of Ajax for feck sake.
I saw an article saying we got him for 10m less than what Real Madrid we’re going to get him for. VDS and our relations with Ajax definitely worked well here
Yeah, I think so as well. Really happy for him when AJAX reached UCL semi final.
Vds helped us with Robin van Persie too. Classy bloke love him.
Obviously this is what's important
Very classy move by Van Der Sar. He was a class act on the pitch, and off in his time as a player. It seems there is no change in that as the years have gone by. He's brought the same values to his current role.
Top bloke and a top goalkeeper.
Dramatic twat.
Come at me bro.
Come at me bro.
Love big Ed.
My girlfriend isn't really all that interested in Utd but likes football but she absolutely loves this guy and followed Utd when he was playing. I guess she is right more often than not. VdS is one hell of human.
Agreed.
Are there any other good prospects at Ajax we could look at? Such a seamless process especially with VdS at the helm over there!
There's been a proper wankfest over Ajax these past couple of days, it's been something to behold.
Wait, how did you do that, are you a wizard?
Has been a difficult time to cope for me. I now know how Pool supporters on here feel.

Nothing can ever be as bad as the wankfest Dortmund and Liverpool had together over Klopp, so no worries there.

Just when I thought I couldn’t love Edwin anymore. Top class of a man.
Nice letter
Respect to VDS. Always liked him. A true footballing man, running a football club. Who would have thought that would work out well right
I met him (and Marc Overmars) in the street in Stockholm's Old Town the day before the Europa final. Asked him if he had divided loyalties. he said "No, my loyalty is 100% Ajax" and smiled. I shook his hand. IRON grip. Classy guy.
Ajax is one of the classiest clubs around
Oh I'm all for it in every case. There's nothing wrong with admiring another club and in our case the VdS connection makes this one particularly of note.
I've still found the deep-throating they've enjoyed on here of late pretty funny though.
Legend and hopefully our DOF
