Surely City want de Ligt as a replacement for the ageing Kompany. I'm sure we could offer him more game time playing in a 3.
If only they hadn't paid 50m for 2 other young central defenders

Obviously I have no idea.Don’t want to ask Herc questions because it’s also frowned upon to ask about ITK but very curious if we are posturing or the bidding has gotten beyond our comfort level. If it starts going into the €60m-€70m range, hard to see us seeing it through. Pessimistic maybe but that’s my opinion.
A fair and correct point but this isn't an empty cheque book scenario and in my eyes i'd rather that £15m+ gets spent on a centre midfielder. All philosophical of course.Title challengers always go for the best available talent.
Mid-table squads go for the player "who doesn't need to start every game"
Pretty sure the Argentinian media won't have a clue lolWith reports now coming out of Argentina that we don't want another centre back instead we are promoting Juan Foyth im getting worried for this deal...
for me - its either de Ligt or we sign Toby to an extension.We need de Ligt. It's irrelevant if age. He is ready.
Another fine point but we can't plan for every single player in our squad to get injured and to have a 40m+ backup just in case. We aren't Man City.If Verts twists his ankle or gets sent off again next season, who is going to fill in if we want to play 3 at the back? Dier can be horrid in defence as much as he can be good.
Soooo... you're saying we haven't been trying to bring in de Ligt?Another fine point but we can't plan for every single player in our squad to get injured and to have a 40m+ backup just in case. We aren't Man City.
de ligt won't be backup, if one of the starting cb is injured i think we would change to back 4Another fine point but we can't plan for every single player in our squad to get injured and to have a 40m+ backup just in case. We aren't Man City.
Not questioning his talent at all, he's a very good player. Just worried what it says to our academy players in anyone in the U15 or higher if we sign De Ligt, never mind CCV.We need de Ligt. It's irrelevant if age. He is ready.
I'm not ITK, i'm just saying I don't agree with the principal of paying £40m+ for 18yr old centre half in our squad scenario.Soooo... you're saying we haven't been trying to bring in de Ligt?
Take it up with Poch...
If it makes any difference he'll be 19 by the time the season starts..I'm not ITK, i'm just saying I don't agree with the principal of paying £40m+ for 18yr old centre half in our squad scenario.
