Would you swap Van De Beek for Thiago?

Now you are talking. Or swap VDB for De Ligt. Whether these are the best players for us is another debate, but at least they are the right category.
Yes
of course. hell, I'd swap him for 2017-18 Lingard as well.
A tainted victory if there ever was one.Too right....
Thiago is great for a game or two then injured for a few which is why Bayern didn’t pay him what it would have cost to keep him plus Thiago and VDB are different players so no I wouldn’t swap them, that said I’m disappointed in what I’ve seen from VDB so far especially the other night against West Ham.
Would you swap Man United for Liverpool?
I’d swap him for Grealish. Well, you started it!
No, both don't suit us. We are top-heavy team because of Bruno, so we need hard working 2 man midfield. I also think we will get more of van de Beek, just not in attacking position.
There is a lot of different players I'd swap Donny for though.

Would you swap Dan James for Salah?
I’d swap him for James Ward-Prowse or Bissouma. What will be a more pertinent question in the summer will be, who are we ‘swapping’ Pogba for? If it is Donny, we are in deep doo doos.
Yes.
Whilst we're improving, we don't always have the players in the midfield to dictate play from deep. Thiago is the ideal player for that but Van de Beek is a player who has his uses further up the pitch. Hopefully, we'll get to see him make more of an impact when he's more integrated into the squad.

Why would anyone want to swap a young talented midfielder with a bright future for an old slow spent midfielder whose best days are behind him?
I know people are making fun but Thiago is the better player and has qualities we actually need. I feel he will be far more successful in a team like ours where we don't play high-octane football all the time. We lack midfielders who are comfortable on the ball and good at holding position and blocking passing lanes. He would be perfect to play alongside someone like McTominay in my opinion. Scott can do the running and he can pick passes from midfield.
Would you swap Klopp for Ole.
Asking for a friend.

Absolutely
Not
Not
Easily.
Thiago is the better player right now. Neither player has set the world alight and VDB should have more resell value so will remain cautiously optimistic that in the long run we may have the better deal.
No. It's not about the quality of the player. Personally, I wouldn't want anyone who's played for Liverpool to play for us. Yes we had Owen which I personally didn't like much and going back even Matt Busby played for them but those were very different times where rivalries weren't all that intense.
