Re: Mathijs de Ligt to Bayern Munich

by futbol Sun 1 Sep - 14:02:46

If he actually develops in a few years he will be shipped off by Raiola by the time he is ready.

Lose-lose for Juventus.

Either he flops or he turns great and leaves.

Stupid transfer.

Mr Nick09 wrote:the thing is, almost no one is watching the Eredivise here, that can confirm he was a titan of a CB. For all we know he was getting shook just the same. But since he was part of a tremendous Ajax effort in CL, he gets, deservedly, credit for that.

time will tell what level he really is imo

Yup.
Don't get me wrong, he's obviously a great talent. But just like arq said he was never seen as this great talent because he was an unbeatable defender as that's just not who he was/is. He made mistakes that cost us regularly and that's fine considering he was a teenager (same is true for de Jong btw). In the end it doesn't matter how much money you pay for a teen, you will always get "just" a talent.

Yes, it's a shame with Chiellini's injury he has more pressure on him. Maybe he takes the chance and establishes himself quicker, I'd bet on that.

Another thing is that if he does string shaky performances he should be benched for Demiral who looks ready to take over everything. The idea was for Demiral to replace Chiellini and De Ligt to replace Bonucci in terms of style, eventually.

Mbappe of CB's

Top top signing

by Arquitecto Wed 27 Nov - 21:05:36

He is an utter joke.

Of course Barcelona & other top club fans are seething they did not get him as at 20 he has accomplished in performances than most CBs who've had a respected career.

Mentioned in the other thread how seriously Juventus need to be in putting all their cards to keep him.

Bonucci has had a massive effect on him and their partnership is very fun to watch.

Best CB in the world in less than 3 years.

He deserves it for the performances for Ajax and Netherlands last season. Otherwise his performances for Juventus have been lacklustre.

Weren't we talking just a week ago about how great he was doing scratch

He is. Really amazing player, top top talent. Thank you @zigra

We found our next Bonucci here

by sportsczy Tue 3 Dec - 1:36:33

Well Mbappe is under 21 and he's clearly the best player under 21. But he didn't qualify for some reason (I think previous winners can't win again or something strange like that).

by rincon Tue 3 Dec - 1:53:24

The french Walcott is out of the age limit for the award. Not that it has much to do with this thread.

by BarcaLearning Tue 3 Dec - 6:20:30

Mbappe is the best player just like Messi no matter what, but the awards take into consideration other factors, anyway its good to see a defender win it once in a while. Too bad we missed out signing him though Sad

No he's not. It's about the best performing player under the age of 21... he's 20. And to put it in perspective, he's scored 34 goals in CY 2019 so far go to go along with 18 assists.

Age wasn't it. He wasn't even nominated. There had to see some other silly rule.

by rincon Tue 3 Dec - 9:31:39

I mean it's the rules, he is too old for it. Hence why he wasnt nominated.

When did Mbappé become an object of ridicule on this site? Laughing

Not sure what more a 20 years old is expected to do.

He cant be expected to do more, its just banter because of sports bringing him up for no reason and hyping him to no end.

by Firenze Tue 31 Mar - 22:22:58

Lot of talk today saying we'll sign him this summer if we want to. Absolutely a no from me. Dutch Bailly.

by Warrior Thu 2 Apr - 5:58:13

Don't worry, for De Ligt it will also be "absolutely a no"

... as well as every player with an ounce of ambition Laughing

by rincon Wed 9 Dec - 11:16:42

Came back after months injured, started the next 6 games in a row and looks amazing from the get go. Absolutely brilliant defender, this 21yo plays like an elite CB in his prime.

by Kaladin Sun 27 Jun - 20:11:24

Dreadful season and to top it all off, a disasterclass against an inferior Czech side

Things are not panning out for him, mistake-prone just like Bonucci, plus he's not well settled in Italy, citing him, complains about not being able to go out due to footballers being worshipped in Italy. Mince mentality.

Needs to leave and rediscover himself

by rincon Sun 27 Jun - 20:27:47

Poor bait

by Doc Sun 27 Jun - 20:35:39

To be fair, similar to Italy, Holland clearly was a in a group that did not test them well enough but unlike Italy, didn't have much or any match winners on their roster.

De Ligt is fine but that error stinks of his first season in Serie A.

by Warrior Sun 27 Jun - 23:27:25

Keep dreaming

De Ligt: "i am like a fish in water at Juventus" https://www.italy24news.com/sports/news/35428.html

Nobody thinks he's responsible for our season

It's Matthijs with 2 T by the way
