Inverted 1,776 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Even for a team who doesn't need a CB, De Ligt makes sense purely for the sake of denying him to your competitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirBalon 2,692 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 As much as I love Arsenal and it's literally a part of me, I wouldn't go to Arsenal with a status like he has in a million years right now. He'd have to be bonkers to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Gonzo 8,177 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 What if Dennis Bergkamp is his hero? But yeah, I also probably wouldn't make the move from Ajax to Arsenal right now when he's got the other suitors in the thread title monitoring his potential transfer.

We just buy crap now with no real scouting and cannot even coach our own youth to succeed in the first team. Arsenal are just such an awful club and its sad to say when you are a fan but its reality. Ajax with players like de Ligt etc are so refreshing in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was taught by Bergkamp, de Ligt used to be an attacking midfielder in the youth teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once David Dein left, Arsenal just became a club that made progressively worse decisions until they got to the point they're at today. It's actually absurd how well run they used to be and how not-well-run they appear to be now. If Spurs have money to spend this summer, I imagine they'd look a vastly more attractive side than Arsenal for players that are looking to move. If I'd have said that a decade ago, you'd all think I was mental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was laughing at the fact it's said Messi runs Barcelona. That calmed you down now? If you like I can give you the club's telephone number and you can shout obscenities down the mouthpiece. Your unnatural unbalance towards that club is rather cringey. Or maybe it's just me and if that's the case (I wouldn't mind knowing) I can then entertain myself with you from now on. Visca la vida!

Anyway... That's what I meant because it's been a long story that Messi chooses coaches and even who is signed and sold. Not that it's true in the slightest, but what can you do.

UNORTHODOX 179 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 If he's smart he woukd choose Liverpool, We're building something big here and he will have Virgil beside him who he knows inside out from playing in the national team together. not even being biased here i think the Liverpool move would be a fantastic 1 for him.

Dr. Gonzo 8,177 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Judging by this extra bitter quote from a Barca director, I think he’s off to Man Utd unfortunately https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/manchester-united-transfer-news-matthijs-de-ligt-paul-pogba-window-preview-a8944626.html?utm_source=reddit.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcanuck 175 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Would love to see him come to United, but I suspect Barcelona is a done deal. De ligt and his agent are just trying to get a little more money. Would love to be wrong though. Just hope we will know for sure after the Nations League final.
