I wouldn't say we need him at all.

Thanks.

We have been linked with De Ligt in the tabloids today.

Given the CB options we already have, and the greater need to refresh in midfield, it does sound like garbage, but I think Snoots wanted to check with the Eds whether there was any truth to the rumour.

{Ed002's Note - Matthijs de Ligt (CB) Wants to move to Barcelona but it would need to be an exchange type deal and seems most unlikely. Discussed with Chelsea during a meeting over other players but his termination clause and wages if asked in full would kill any chance of a move - but don't discount an offer being made. Bayern Munich have a declared interest as a Sule replacement but will not pay the asking price. Real Madrid interest only works if they will accept one or more players in exchange. I suspect he may well move in the summer with the preferred Barcelona struggling to fund the move over other planned activity and my guess is that Chelsea will make two significant CB purchases and he could be one. PSG provide an option - but that is depending on departures. Manchester United would be a less likely option and are interested in others. As a wildcard, Manchester City who may have a significant departure. Juventus will push for a new contract but the two parties are far from agreeing terms.}

I will rephrase that ed with better spelling, are the rumours of Matthijs de Ligt being a transfer we are working on just paper talk?

I'm assuming it is as we are well stocked.
Had to Google his name this time lol.

I've somehow managed to decipher that as Matthijs de Ligt. Assume the papers have linked us with buying him.

Don't worried Eds i can cover this one . NO!
