Lads, am I the only one who's not getting the de ligt buzz? Even from a limited pick of good CBs, there are many better out there.

I was impressed with the whole ajax team this year but I didn't look at De Ligt and say, he is incredible, I thought he was okay.

Thing is angel answer this.


Would he make us better?

Is it value for money.

Is there players out there better?

If so who?

I would personally sign him and alderwiereld and have him lindoff and de ligt as our 3 main centre backs. Along with keeping bailly. But get rid of smalling and Jones and rojo

Get WB as right back and we would have a pretty decent young defence to work on and improve


But I'm just living in a dream land.

I think he's a good player but how far has he come since the Europa cup? I've not seen any Dutch or Ajax.

I got the vibe at the time he was nowhere near ready.

I did see him speaking to fans though and he looks like a real leader. And leadership is as rare as hens teeth in our team.

I thought him and de Jong looked very good, for both ajax and Holland. Not overly impressed with the rest to be honest but them 2 will go on to be good players imo.

I think he will be an excellent player, but he isn't there yet. I remember when we played Ajax in the Europa League final. He looked shakey in that game and if anything Davison Sanchez looked the better player in that game. Yet Davison Sanchez has hardly set the world alight since his move to Spurs.

I know that was two years ago, but again in the Spurs game he didn't look imperious. physically strong, great technical qualities, yet often caught out of position and he doesn't have great recovery pace.

So great potential, but a lot of development still required. I think we need someone much closer to the finished article at the moment in central defence.

Shappy to fair the United game was something like is 10th first team game at 17 years old in a euro final.

Hes only 19 in fairness I suppose.

I'd just rather see us sign a more rounded CB who has a few years more experience at a high level.

I just haven't got that buzz about de ligt, good player but better attainable players out there right now.
