Donny Van de Beek

[fishhhandaricecake]

Ahhh your one of those hope for the best types, no injuries, suspensions etc and all will be fine me personally have been watching us eek out games for a couple of seasons because we have been a couple of good options around the team if we get those injuries and suspension to a a few first choice players.

I’m with you, we need at least 1 more CM for next season if Ndombele can’t/won’t play.

Would love DVDB mainly because we can’t Then sing the Rafa VDV song for DVDB but also because he’d be a great replacement for Erisken and we need another body in CM anyway, he seems to work hard and have a great attitude and good quality but looks like he’s off to Utd

"I think it's Spurs" - Tottenham pushed forward as player's destination, despite claims of move elsewhere - Sport Witness

On Saturday, we covered a claim from the Catalan media that both Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United have initiated contact over signing Donny van de Beek. Later that day he sat out of a friendly, with Ajax confirming it’s transfer related. Then the claims really started, and it’s been the...

Ed Aarons is fairly reliable. No offense to ‘sport witness’ or whatever.

@rossdapep didn’t you say something about United always getting liked to players in a certain way? Maybe you’re on to something regarding van de beek.

Sport Witness are a news aggregator. And actually they’re reporting a Dutch news report saying a journalist spoke to VDB’s agent who left him with the impression it was Spurs he was joining.

The guy saying he thinks its spurs is the dutch equivalent to a Jake Humphrey or David Jones, he might know something, but more likely just putting it out there to start a conversation

Every united fan I know is sick of being linked to every single player under the sun, I think Ole even released a statement about it last year.

He said he doesn't know anything

What the hell does in contention mean though lol.

Looks like he's regurgitating what was said last night!

Van de beek or sabitzer? Who is a better midfielder and who will suit mourinho's playing style more?

The more these articles about United come out, the more I'm adamant he's joining us quite frankly.

1/6 to United
16/1 to us

Very good Q. Both very good players.

He said he doesn't know anything

This is one of those really odd situations. Even the “reliable” ManU journos aren’t saying anything other than that the club has had interest in the player and has had talks with his agent at some point.

It’s all speculation at this point. People trying to put 2 + 2 together but nobody seems to actually know anything concrete.

Odds are he ends up at United, but this is not what a United transfer looks/sounds like in the media based on their activity the last few windows.

Maybe this one is different since Ajax have pretty much set a price and it’s not insane so there’s not any haggling to do?

 

[dondo]

Without seeing a huge amount of VDB he strikes me as a similar player as GLC, for the amount he would cost I would rather spend the money elsewhere

Good question that! Sabitzer for me. Seems to have a bit more aggression about him

 

[yankspurs]

These signings out of nowhere are always fun but we know its United.

Yea VDB more creative and 'silky' player, Sabitzer a very effective powerful player.
