2021/22 Donny van de Beek

[Grogu the blue]

Don't even think he'll be playing for United next season. He's okay but nothing they need to make them compete again.

Squad player at best from what I’ve witnessed

Dutch players are notorious for only wanting to play when 100% fit.

Lampard‘s view will be if you’re 80% fit or carrying a knock, get out there and play for the club. This is the correct attitude given our current situation. We’re desperate for points and are still far from safe. God I hope we win tonight!

However, if VDB has been told that he’s not being signed permanently then I can see it from his point of view. If He plays and gets properly injured then what? He’ll spend all summer doing rehab at United, who also don’t want him.

Also if he gets a serious injury and isn’t fit for the start of the next season then he’ll miss out on another loan somewhere else. He’s not done enough here to warrant us or anyone else wanting him permanently.

Difficult situation. Of course we’d all prefer him to want to get out there and help the team who pay his wages, but footballers often only look after their own interests.

He came on loan, I think we had about 14/15 matches left didn't we at that stage?

He's put in 2 quality performances (Leeds and City) and then basically missed about 8/9 others.

His point of view should be "I want to play every bloody minute imaginable as I've just sat on my arse at Utd for 2 years".

Doesn't reflect very well on him, getting a great opportunity to show what he's about and he's probably done a grand total of 160 minutes since the end of January.

First 10 pages are amazing.

It was very clear from Lampard’s press conference that VDB has pretty much given up.
He mentioned VDB and Godfrey are at the same stage to come back but Godfrey is working really really hard to be ready, not one comment on VDB.

Tbf I think he’s a decent player, just seems to had a shocking run of bad luck. Doesn’t seem the type to me to have cried off with a bad attitude.

 

[Sharpattack]

Ordinary at best. We've had too many of those types over the years. We don't need another one

My mates who support United said he regularly cried off with minor knocks and hid on the pitch during games.

[davmaher]

How much money have we wasted on wages for this conman? Yet another appalling transfer decision.

Must be fitting in brilliantly here.

We’re deffo spending £35m on him.

 

[Mark barnett]

Not invested in this club at all unlike others in the middle who have taken on the responsibility since lampards arrival

Until we learn and stop buying players altogether I fear this will happen again and again.
