Confirmed Signing Donny van de Beek

[Cmonefcsortitout!]

Could be a very good signing for us. I don’t think any of our central midfielders are much good, and I could see Donny being a regular for us, if we take him on loan. He isn’t the quickest, but he is better on the ball than those we have in that position, and more mobile than the likes of Gomes, so cetainly worth getting imo. He should be highly motivated to take his chance, some United fans say he hasn’t really had one. Well worth a punt, we badly need whatever quality he can offer. I’m not saying he will control a game, but he could help us keep possession alot better, Ajax players are drilled with pass and move (and he isn’t Davy Klaasen)

Wasn’t he out for 4 weeks with the first 2 of those being this international break?

Always best to double the length of the injury updates. Usually more accurate that way.

Happy with this, wouldn't mind Loftus-Cheek as well seeing how bad we are in midfield. For once it would give us options.

 

[hktoffee]

About 7 of them. Our team is utter crap.

Ok.

 

[Jimishorts]

He’s no Jusitin de Bath.

If Frankie wants him and thinks he can do a job for him then its all fine with me. Get him signed up.

About 7 of them. Our team is utter crap.

Gallagher, Zaha and Edouard would all walk in

 

[Lob]

God its so good not having to say Benitez any more.

 

[Alan Whittle]

Im pretty sure I could select 9 players from Palace's squad that wouldnt get in our squad as well.

Our first 11 is superior.

......must.........not.......reply.....aaarrgghh...

This is Everton.

 

[Street end man]

Frank will have him playing like a pup off De Bruyne in no time

….it takes lung busting effort, desire and attitude to continually make the runs Lampard did over the extent of his career. Players get the rewards but the vast majority of those runs end with the ball not arriving.

It also takes intelligence. A sense of when to arrive behind the play to where the ball will drop.

No Longstaff like....

….as discussed elsewhere, Lampard has got a ridiculously high IQ, let’s hope it serves us well after the misery of Benitez.

So you've already decided that's the plan? The way every club evaluates players is to loan them, at a cost of millions, for 6 months and then decide whether to buy them for the guaranteed £25M fee you've decided on?

The same way Palace bought Guehi, Andersen, Eduard, Olise and all their other signings over the last couple of years. All 6 month evaluation loans with transfer afterwards? The same way every club does their due diligence on transfers?

Or could it be that they'd like Van De Beek in as he's immediately available to strengthen their squad this window rather than a transfer policy based around evaluation loans that you've made up in your head?

I think you miss the point slightly mate, If there was an option to loan all of the above, before committing fees to them, do you think they would do that? Of course they would.

Currently the option is there for Van Der Beek.
