It seems everyone is getting excited about DeLigt, so I may be the only one concerned should it all be about money. Money isn't a motivator.

We need a leader, a CB for sure, but we expect a 19 year old to carry the team at a time when we are struggling, don't have a leader from manager down and that is a big ask for anyone. To me it has the smack of Woodward and Co trying to show we and they still have it, the charisma to do things "others in the transfer market can only dream of". We are after a young talented Dutch player who had a good season, just like Rashford when he first burst on the scene and now expect him to be the cornerstone of the team. I would not dismiss the opportunity but have misgivings over it. After all these same decision makers gave new contracts to Young, Smalling and Jones plus the manager allegedly told Rojo he is in his plans.

The Dutch league is an easier league to play in.
He is young and part of an Ajax side that has over achieved this year in the CL.

Of course we need leaders in the team, along with experience.
De Ligt looks a good player.

Given our defensive frailties, most CBs will be linked with the club during the summer transfer window.

We shouldn't be signing De Ligt and i think we will get a smack in our face if it fails. Let him go to Barcelona and we should go for Milenkovic or Dias.

First choice would be Koulibaly but i think napoli are taking the mick with their asking price.

One thing i am happy about is Lukaku looking to leave and i hope that happens.

Get rid of Pogba as well and go all out for Ndombele or Niguez.
