Barcelona reportedly want to move on Frenkie De Jong.

Would he work in a Conte midfield?

He’s underwhelmed at Barca, but they are so royally screwed financially that there are certainly deals to be done.

I also think his instincts are defensive and possessive, so even if we went for him, he would be a replacement for Skipp / PEH rather than adding that attacking zip to our midfield.

Anyway, he’ll go to UTD.

Obviously don't watch Wolfsburg much but I've seen him have two very good games this season. And saw him have one stinker. Still a top cb prospect, but playing inconsistently in a team that's struggled in it's manager change. Virgil Van Dijk was a year away from joining Celtic at his age, Harry Maguire was at Sheffield.

Exactly. It's crazy nearly ALL cb are like this at this age Ferdinand, King, its part of the process. He is a fine prospect.

I've wrestled with this one. I can't quite stomach it. It's like swapping a non functional Dele for a functional Dele Alli. He is English better than what we have and a hard worker....but but Nah it won't stay down🤮

All depending on details.
If we'd get him on a cheap deal (~10 mil) for reasonable wages (up to 100 kpw), I would take him.

we need to axe some HG players and he would count on one.
He has end product as well and if something goes south we can get the money back after 1 season.

But if Toon and Wet Spam are sniffing around and they offer 150k per week salary then it is an easy pass.

I get you in a way that this is not some kind of perfect solution. But I don't think we are in a position to be idealistic about taking on some competitors players that are out of favor.
 
Another one whose quality is thrown into doubt...
Of course, Nainggolan may well be totally wrong about de Ketelaere. And he's not a top priority player for Spurs anyway right now.

'Wrong': Nainggolan 'not a fan' of £34m West Ham and Tottenham target

Radja Nainggolan has issued an honest verdict on Charles De Ketelaere amid transfer interest from West Ham and Tottenham in the Club Brugge star.

Radja Nainggolan backs Club Brugge star Charles De Ketelaere to win this season’s Jupiler Pro League Golden Boot, but is not a fan of the West Ham and Tottenham transfer target.

Nainggolan has been speaking with Het Nieuwsblad, and believes it would be wrong if the public name De Ketelaere the Belgian Football Union’s Player of the Year. Previous winners include Man City’s Kevin de Bruyne, Real Madrid’s Eden Hazard and Napoli’s Dries Mertens.

Nainggolan does not feel De Ketelaere warrants the gong, though, as his efforts are not up to scratch. Instead, the 30-cap Red Devils dynamo – formerly of Inter Milan and now of Royal Antwerp – sees gaps in the Club Brugge ace’s game that he considers to be wrong.

De Ketelaere has scored seven goals and provided six assists over 25 appearances in all competitions so far this term. Five of each have also come in 17 Jupiler Pro League fixtures.

The 20-year-old has started each of Club Brugge’s league games this term, but ranks 18th in the Golden Boot race. He also only ranks 13th in the Belgian top-flight for assists so far.

WEST HAM AND TOTTENHAM EYE TRANSFER FOR DE KETELAERE​

De Ketelaere’s displays for Club Brugge so far this term have put West Ham and Tottenham on alert to transfers. Calciomercato have cited both London side’s interest in the four-cap Belgian international, with Spurs even eying a January deal.

West Ham also like what they have seen, but face competition from Everton, Napoli and AC Milan. While Voetbal Krant also report the Blauw-Zwart would want at least €40m (£34m).

De Ketelaere is likely to break the Jupiler Pro League transfer record when the West Ham and Tottenham target leaves Club Brugge. Jonathan David’s €27m (£23m) departure rising to €32m (£27m) including add-ons from Gent to Lille is the current record sale.

Club Brugge bowing out of Europe after ending the Champions League group stage bottom of Group A could force the Jan Breydel Stadium outfit to lower their valuation, however.

NAINGGOLAN ISSUES BRUTAL DE KETELAERE VERDICT​

But while De Ketelaere has impressed transfer suitors West Ham and Tottenham, the Club Brugge star has not captivated Nainggolan.

“This year he will win the Belgian Golden Boot, but I am not a fan of his at all,” Nainggolan said. “I often see him wrong and he scores too little.

“I like [him as a number] ten or winger better, but he doesn’t drive me crazy. If he is voted the best player in and out of Belgium, I will disagree. In another team, it would be different. Now, he plays for Brugge and for everyone he is a promising talent.”

Real Madrid, une grosse offre refusée pour Haz

Le Real Madrid vient de décliner une proposition très intéressante pour son attaquant Eden Hazard, en provenance de l’Angleterre.

West Ham are bidding for Eden Hazard.

Eden would be the answer to the question "How can West Ham derail all the work that Moyes has done since 2019?"

The complete opposite of the type of player that they should want.
