This is a youngster who got a call up to the national team, one with one of the best starting 11s in the world. He'll be desperate to make an impression, surely. He's not going to ask out of playing because he's worried about his next contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SafewayFox Posted 14 June 2022 Share Posted 14 June 2022 Surely there is just a chance that he doesn’t make the starting 11? Should he have had more minutes? Potentially. But Madders should have been called up (for England unless he has found out he has a Belgian gran) and wasn’t so maybe Martinez just didn’t fancy CDK?

MadsEmil Posted 14 June 2022 Share Posted 14 June 2022 I wouldn't give much about the noise coming from Italy right now, it's just a load of tabloids recycling the same tweets from not ITK sources who then go on to recyle the articles they've initially been recycled in themselves. We know from a reliable Belgian source nothing will be decided (if it hasn't already) while CDK is on duty with Belgium. We also know that according to Belgian sources the odds of him joining us are 80/20 in our favour and that he rates us highly. Expecting to get some noise from our sources within the next two weeks. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimJams Posted 14 June 2022 Share Posted 14 June 2022 (edited) Must mean he's signing for us, Milan, he's crap, failed his medical, waiting on offers from Man City, signed for Spurs yesterday, injured out for the season, just scored his first goal for our u23s.

Let’s say Youri does finally leave, getting a quality replacement is a necessity otherwise the ball won’t ever get up the pitch quick enough to release the forward players. He also could be deemed as someone in direct competition with Madders who was our POTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we got with the 433 that has Madders in midfield, then we're sorted because we'll have Madders and KDH to progress the ball instead of Youri. Also who says we have to spend the money we get for Youri on a CM replacement 1/1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dahnsouff Posted 15 June 2022 Share Posted 15 June 2022 If he wants to progress as a player - where does he go? Is it AC Milan? No idea on their player progression record, or us, where its decent, but could be declining. He would join several Belgians here, but there seems to be a few at AC Milan too. Despite their current resurgence, AC Milan are not the same team as "back in the day" and he is too young to remember those days, I would say its on a knife edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty sure going there would progress him as a player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFox99 Posted 15 June 2022 Share Posted 15 June 2022 Just now, Dahnsouff said: No idea on their player progression record The biggest names who have moved in the last years are Bonucci to Juventus and Paqueta to Lyon (although I wouldnt quite credit AC for his development, they bought him for 40m and sold him for 20m). It also seems they're quite the graveyard for strikers - Piatek, Cutrone, Lapadula and André Silva were all fairly rated names before they went to AC and look at them now. 4 minutes ago, Dahnsouff said: He would join several Belgians here, but there seems to be a few at AC Milan too. The main difference is Saelemakers has been there for just a year, Origi is coming in fresh this summer. They both won't have the full picture compared to Castagne, Tielemans and Praet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
