Subscriber Viva la FCB+ Posted July 2 Subscriber Share Posted July 2 Theres been allot of rumours surrounding a possible exit from Bavaria. I dont get it, hes been our best and most reliable CB for two straight seasons. I get his weakness is ball playing but that comes secondary imo given how shit our defence has been. Despite my best efforts it really sounds as though its picking up momentum and likely will happen. He is our top earner on defence and theres been allot of talk of reducing our wage bill as well.

Redcanuck Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 I kind of lost sight of de Ligt when he went to Bayern, I thought he hadn't performed that well, wrongly it seems. United were after him before he went to Bayern and potentially it was thought he was going to be one of the best CB out there. Hopefully if he does come to United he will reach that potential. 40 million Euros in today's market is a very good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

De Ligt isn't perfect as you said, but surely going from De Ligt to Tah is at best a sidestep if not a downgrade for a player 4 years older. This sounds more like a salary dump move.

The fan reaction has been kind of wild as hes been pretty beloved everywhere ive seen since he came here. It has been strange that back to back managers (now Kompany too) have kind of kept him on the bench through stretches until they either had no choice due to injuries or Upa doing Upa things too much. Theres funnily enough a fan petition online to keep him currently at nearly 9000 signatures anyways if you can get him for the reported €40-50m thats a steal.

Subscriber Viva la FCB+ Posted July 16 Author Subscriber Share Posted July 16 Quote Manchester United have been pursuing moves for Matthijs De Ligt and Leny Yoro. Progress has been achieved on each front recently, though the current expectation is they would recruit one or the other as opposed to both Given a deal for De Ligt looks relatively straightforward if United choose to proceed, at present they seem to be prioritising Yoro and exploring whether the Frenchman can be convinced to join them rather than hold out for Real Madrid [ @David_Ornstein , @TheAthleticFC ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Viva la FCB+ Posted August 2 Author Subscriber Share Posted August 2 Just a bizarre way to do this but Ornstein is usually pretty good so idk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its dumb and I dont agree with it at all. Basically from what I can gather theres a few reasons; Hes on the highest wages for a defender, can generate funds from a sale and they dont see him as a clear upgrade on anyone in the mix for a starting spot. We also probably had to sell a CB I suppose is the other side of this as theres just too many. Even with De Ligt sold we still have Upa, Kim, Dier, Stanisic and Ito. Stanisic and Ito can cover LB/RB as well but its definitely crowded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
