Van de Beek says Everton is perfect fit for him right now

Donny Van de Beek , as with the Leeds performance, brilliant but early days, every player and the team as a whole has to now find consistency, last weeks level of performance has to be a benchmark.

I am already thinking about next season with VDB signed permanently, important players we've missed like DCL & Doucoure fully fit and fired up and a couple of quality signings. Under Lampard and his coaching team, I am starting to believe that a top six challenge is achievable.

I think it should be illegal to print "according to reports" without quoting the source of said reports.

It's from The Mirror so it's Gospel of course!!

Let's see how the next few months go.

To be fair, I should let Jamie have a go before I go on but there are some decent players out there who have lost their love for superclubs and just want to get on with it.

Moral of the story: don't rush to judgement after one game. Let's see what happens and how all parties feel come the summer.

If you think it's been frustrating for us Evertonians the last few decades. Imagine being a Dutch Evertonian. Only Heitinga was acceptable for one season, otherwise it was touch and go.

I won't go into the others, but to have Donny playing for us permanently would be wonderful, and a sign we're on the ascendency.

Also, maybe we should see how the rest of the season plays out (we all hailed Gomes as the next Arteta after his first appearance on loan).

Don't worry ,you can move on from Raymond Atteveld; it's been long enough... plus, he was probably secretly a Geordie.

At the moment, I would say there is a 10% chance that we will see VdB in a Blue shirt come the start of the season in August 22.

Of course, I hope to God that Everton sign him but I won't get my hopes up too high.

It's not done so I'll keep my powder dry on the I TOLD YA!

I like the look of him but all we can do is make him feel wanted and see what happens at season's end.

Another mis-placement of a club would bugger him and his career. A happy and easy switch to us, if we turn this oil tanker of a club around, would suit all.

He's at his peak... he won't want to risk another failed placement when and if he's on the up with a forward-looking Top 6 Premier League club. If that's where we're heading... aren't we?

In a perfect world, it would be great if he's playing regularly for us and putting in MotM performances every game, coupled with scoring.

If, at the end of the season and us well clear of the Bottom 3, Lampard wants to keep him and Donny feels wanted and comfortable here, maybe something could be worked out.

Priority is everyone concentrating 100% on the remaining games this season.

Bottom line is, the bar isn't that high so yes, based solely on what little we've seen of him so far, he certainly looks a good fit but it's very early days and come hiring time for next season, he certainly won't be our only option if Man Utd try to hold us to ransom.

I like him a lot already but I have my doubts Man Utd will offer him at a decent price and we have FFP to think about.

The £30M it will likely cost to get him will need to be spent carefully elsewhere I suspect. I think Richarlison and Mina will go in the summer.

Van de Beek is always being ignored by his teammates

Short but sweet way of saying Donny van de Beek was great at Man Utd, just that their players were not smart enough to see his movement on the pitch and use him properly. When they did, though, it often lead to productive outcomes!

I appreciate YouTube doesn't tell the whole story, yet given Van de Beek was a Ballon D'Or nominee from his Ajax performances, there may be some truth in this.

If VDB shows he's a legit top-league player while with us, I'd imagine ManU will team him with Fernandes in the middle with Pogba gone.
