Matthijs de Ligt (65 Viewers)

[kappa96]

Yeah. He is at most third after Chiello and bonbon and if rugano keeps dishing out performances whenever he is called upon he even drops to forth best cb.

No. You guys are wrong. According to esteemed and unbiased Tuz member Elvin, De Ligt is our best player. Nuff said.

 

[campionesidd]

You’re not alone. We’re not in a position to get a CM with both high salary and high transfer fee.

That’s what we thought about Vlahovic and yet here we are.

 

[DAiDEViL]

Yes he is.

De Ligt is a younger, fit player in demand with his prime ahead; Dybala is a luxury player who never peaked and never will anymore.

DeLigt is using his hands too often.

Can't adapt to VAR era.

True. Though it's more understandable to break the bank for someone like Vlahovic than De Jong.

 

[Orgut]

If it funds Vlahovic + Bremer then that's probably worth it, to be honest.

I dont know about Bremer but Im sure we will get a defender if we sell him which is likely.
To be honest while he is a great defender, I expected him to grow and be much better by now. There is no way his showings justified his 85M we paid for him.
We will get a new CB, I have no doubt about it.
Bremer? Maybe, but there are other players we might target.

I'm probably alone when I say I don't want DeJong at all eh?

I absolutely don't want him. I would welcome SMS or someone like Tchouameni on the other hand.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Don’t want De Jong at all. Hasn’t been particularly impressive for Barcelona. Give me an SMS type midfielder and we fine.

 

[Xperd]

It would be disappointing to lose him now especially when he's only 23. Given his current form, I don't know which club would be willing to pay €100M.
My prediction is he extends his contract, lowers his release clause and leaves in summer 2023.

I agree. He mostly plays centrally, closer to defense and for that you can easily find solutions in Italy, plenty of players like that. Even Rovella and Fagioli could be considered as backups for Loca. Then, Jorginho would cost a fraction of FDJ.

We definitely need a box to box that assists/scores, for example SMS.

 

[s4tch]

the problem with de jong is that he'd be redundant. i like him though, he's a well rounded player. but as some of you mentioned, we need different profiles. we're full of mids who can pass the ball accurately within a 10 meter radius, but we have zero who can dribble past an opponent or register an assist out of nothing.

as for de ligt, for me he's gone in the summer, and it's fine provided we spend those funds wisely. even though i'm a huge fan and consider him one of the best cb's for the next decade, he's by far the most costly player in the league, and we should have other priorities. i'd swap him for bremer and sms without thinking twice. (in case sms is even possible, i still have my reservations, lotito would be a bitch to deal with, no wonder we didn't even try in the last decade.)

de Ligt is the most valuable defender in the world.

[Lancelot]

For €100M - I would do it in a heartbeat

He will be world class in couple of years, but €100M is a lot of money

 

[KirilovBG]

Bremer in if de Ligt goes away.

I'm not sure if there are any other defenders in the world that are paid as much as him (probably Alaba, Varane and Ramos make more). While the transfer fee we paid for him is probably fair, his salary is just too much. That makes it hard for us to renew. What remains to be seen is if any of the other clubs can offer him considerably more wages. United, PSG and Real might.

bremer should be a priority regardless of the de ligt situation. he's good, and while rugani is decent this season, he's not reliable enough. same for chiellini who's still world class, but can't be charged like a 28 year old.

And Chelsea, they have spent quite a bit already and will be in dire need of CBs come Summer. Imagine they can lose all their starters + Thiago Silva who is not a youngster anymore too.

They're welcome to bonucci and rugani

Bonucci and Rugani to win the CL confirmed

Imagine that. CL Final. Balanced and tightly poised at 1-1. A Juventus corner in the 91st minute. Rugani pops up to tower a header past the stranded Donnaruma. Bewm!
