Matthijs de Ligt

[waspish]

Everyone over to the It’s Quiet thread!

No point you'd need the Enigma machine to figure out the video clues ;).

 

[Young Blue]

This morning you said:

We need to do everything we can to sign him. Offer him a better package than Barcelona. Now Kompany is leaving we don't even have a back up for our defenders because Otamendi is going as well.

Now you're saying:

De Ligt will not join City. The only reason they could use our interest would be to get De Ligt a better contract at Barca and Raiola more money. It's a Isco saga all over again. Don't fall for it City.

Why the sudden change?

 

[Larry Stranger]

Best option is still to sign De Ligt. And I say this as a belgian.
De ligt is a top player and leader of men at the age of 19.
We allready missed out on De Jong. I'd hate it if the next generational talent ends up at a rival. Domestic or European.
For him I would make an exception and put up with Raiola.

De light is the best choice, but not with Raiola. If we give in to the wage demands it could upset the wage structure of the team. Look at United and how the rest of the team look at Sanchez's salary. I don't think we'd be willing to go that route tbh.

Because it will be like that. De Ligt wants to follow De Jong, it's Barca only. Would've liked him at City but he won't sign for us. The reason he still didn't sign for them is purely because of Riaola. Barca doesn't want to pay that money so Riaola is looking for other clubs to create some leverage on them. And I don't want this to be another Isco saga. He did exactly the same thing. Raiola is a **** and the club needs to stay far away from him.

From previous transfers like VVD and Alison, I fear Liverpool will just pay the fee. It would be a nightmare if Liverpool signed him.

That is no reason for us messing up our structure,we just won the treble and back to back titles,you don't mess with team dynamic by bringing in a kid that is on more money than our exsisting kids,to fear another team getting a player when we are the best is daft

You still haven't said what has made you change your attitude about going for him, the very same day?

We are messing with the team, by letting VK and Ota go.

Have you seen what he has achieved at such a young age, he is that exceptional.

If a young Messi was available would you have the same attitude?

You need to read the text, the answer is just for grabbing. De Ligt is absolutely a great signing but the amount of commission Raiola is after it's not going to happen. Also de Ligt prefers Barca.

Yes,we haven't achieved what we have without squad harmony,it is not going to change so get over it

If we get rid of world class players and don't replace them with players who are as good, we will decline, if our close rivals strengthen more than us, we risk falling behind.
