Can’t wait for the people crying that we sell our best defender.
Yes, De Ligt is our best defender but he doesn’t fit into Kompany’s system. The man was a defender himself, I am pretty sure he knows what he does, and if he would want to keep De Ligt, he would tell Eberl not to sell him.
Can we just for once have some trust in Eberl and Freund? They proved over many years that they know what they are doing. Unlike Brazzo and Kahn who had absolutely no experience whatsoever.
I am also sad that he will leave because I really like this man and I will never forget his 30m goal for us. But we have to be realistic: 16 Mio per year is too much for a centre back that is
1. Too often Injured (he missed already almost an entire season at Juve as well, so arguing it’s because of Broich or Hybrid grass or Tuchel doesn’t count.)
2. Too slow for a system that Kompany wants to play
3. His build up play is so limited that he doesn’t even play for the Netherlands.
So overall we can say.. neither Tuchel, nor Koeman, nor Kompany wants him, and this should tell us enough.
When will the board decide to sell Upamecano?
