I think half here are trolling, and the other half is just desperate for a midfielder. When they should realize this signing has no bearing whatsoever on our top midfield search or lack of search.
I hope we sign him, quite few here will have a "doh!" moment when he shows he is legit stud (De Ligt of attackers) andthey remember they used to doubt this really cheap signing for little to no reason.

Kinda like us giving De Ligt 12m a year

(but in this case, his transfer fee is 55m less then Matthjis) You do whatever it takes to get ahead of the competition lol. But I doubt it is true at all tho btw. Just media wildly speculating because its easy to do.
