How the hell are we not able to offer him first team football given how shite our current defence is!?
Got to ensure big Harry and awb maintain their first team status.

It'll go tits up, and the likes of Bissouma, Neves, Tielemans will all move on for reasonable prices, and we'll be left with our dick in our hand. Again. And McFred. Again.Sid wrote: ↑1 year ago Jamie Jackson of the guardian believes that Timber is set to reject us on the grounds of not being promised first team football
He also reports we're holding out on Barca dropping their price for De Jong cos they're desperate for the money. United aren't rushing cos no one else is in for him. So this will probably drag on til the last day

LVG talked him out of it apparently, saying that he won’t make the World Cup squad if he doesn’t play every week.
Yup, that’s my reading of the situation too.
So if the transfer budget really is 120M plus sales, that’s basically de Jong plus one other player before we need to sell. We could probably drum up some cash by selling a few kids and squaddies.
I’d say our best case scenario is de Jong plus two players in the 30m - 40m range, plus a freebie like Eriksen. So maybe a versatile defender plus a lefty attacker like Antony would be the best use of the non-Jong budget.

Of course we might not sell players until TH gets a chance to have a look at them in training.
I saw it reported that the club is basically dumping its own prepared scouting list and just deferring to TH's own list of players he wants. I suppose it's reasonable enough to back the manager. But what exactly is the point then of our scouts? Maybe it's all paper talk, but literally every player we're linked to is Ajax, Dutch, or German.
