Raiola gets much dirt for squeezing big fees, but truth is he always listens to his clients and not the other way around. He's not going to tell anyone that he should leave his current team, but he's not going to be the team's ally obviously, he's going for every penny he can.
He can tell De Vrij that he can find a 7-10m offer from teams like Liverpool, Man Utd or Barcelona but if De Vrij wants to stay at Inter with slightly less, then it's going to be done and Raiola will happily oblige to his player's demands. He's greedy, but not unreasonable.
Given our current pay structure, De Vrij deserves at least 6.5m from us. We probably will only offer up to 5.5m.
Managed to score a goal, but other than that, quite poor stuff. Cornelius had De Vrij as his bitch today which is a bit worrying. IMO De Vrij hasn't been that good generally after the lockdown ended. His anticipation is off.
I am happy for this guy because his NT career is fucked despite his quality, all because of De Ligt the so called golden boy. And now he has finally shown how undeserved this is by beating De Ligt literally based on stats to win this prize. Despite De Ligt playing for the oh so much better team. I hope that this will reignite his NT career, because that would be well deserved.
de vrij has really shone as the cb anchor in a 3 at the back formation. THAT BEI?NG SAID, I do see him as a somewhat Bastoni like player as in very good on the ball (not as good as Bastoni though). I'm sure there's a good reason why not (maybe pace), but I wonder about Skriniar at CB and De Vrij at RCB. Be interested to hear the logic
i would rather he dont play for NT, its never be good for the club,
and its not like we trying to showcase/sell him
