We should utilise him at DM.

He'd be the DM/CB utility Dier struggles to be.

Kid has got it.


Would like to see him given a chance in that role. He's a lot calmer on the ball than Dier is but he hasn't played under any real pressure so far.

Mundo Deportivo have said that De Ligt & De Jong have handed in transfer requests, following Kluivert's transfer

I am sure they have. I am also certain Mundo Deportivo will next announce that both have smuggled themselves out of the country to escape the tierany and torture of Ajax and have requested asylum with Barcelona FC...

If he's handed in a transfer request I guess that writes off whatever slim chances there were of him being loaned back after signing.

I was referring to the fucked up dynamics system which has everyone getting upset over everything.

He's a lot calmer, far more technical, reads tackles better, reads space better, faster (I think his speed is underrated, he can shift from what I've seen), passing range, variation and accuracy is off the charts better.

He's calm, assured, poised and there seems to be a stableness and balance throughout his game.

Can't help feeling he'd be magnificent in the middle, as well as a shit hot CB for us.

Criminal if poch doesn't take a look at it in pre-season imo.

You also thought Wimmer was better than Verts.

The disrespect Dier consistently gets on SC astounds me. Oh well.

Edit: I like foyth a lot too, but dier has been one of the first names on the team sheet for a CL side three years running now!

Glad we're keeping Foyth. With Dier able to play CB, it sounds like we've given up on MDL. Real shame, would have loved him with Jan and Sanchez Panzer.

Pretty sure we aren't giving up. ITK reported it aint over. Ajax are just hoping to get the bidding war started. This seems like an incredibly complicated love triangle we have going here with Martial, de Ligt and Toby all connected. Players wanting the moves and clubs being difficult and they're all linked.

Well, the Bayern situation is really gonna throw this for a loop with our hopes for this kid. Bayern CEO publicly saying they will listen to bids for Boateng, I'd imagine this guy will be top of Bayerns list and of course Bayern would be a more attractive destination than Spurs unfortunately..
