Interesting idea, but it seems Rangnick isn't keen for him to come here. He's young and there would be no option to buy apparently, so where would he fit in?

Not for me.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

Is that because he views us as rivals for a European spot

I'd take that as a sign that he's excellent.

No, 2 from the uk, 2 from rest of the world

If he came to us and did well that would embarrass Man United and their coaching staff. If he went abroad and he did well they can always use the excuse it's not the PL.

One more point

As much as I like the idea of van de Beek joining us I don't think he's what we need right now particularly as it's reported there would be no option to buy at the end of the season (I think he'd make a great replacement for Gallagher next year).

I think our most pressing need is a CDM and Donny van de Beek is not that.
