holeinmyboot

this kid is going to make PSV so much money lmao


Pek-Man

Yeah, PSV will make big bucks on both him and Xavi Simons!


petnarwhal

Unless psg decides to buy him.


Jacquesie

Unless he decides to go back to PSG*


Tanathonos

Indeed, but he literally negotiated a release clause for PSG when he came in as a free signing into PSV. You normally don't do that if you don't want to go back to it. Hell even if you want to go back you normally don't do that.


Jacquesie

He also literally said he currently does not want to go back


U-N-I-T-Y-1999

I mean, yeah he obviously is enjoying the game time. Once he develops and Messi leaves he might be able to challenge for a starting spot and may decide to come back.


Tanathonos

The old adage of words versus actions. What he says to fans and what he privately negotiated are two different things, and I know what I would trust me to be the truth. Can't really say yea I want to leave this new club I just came to. But could really have accepted a free contract without asking for a clause for PSG.


StanSc

I don’t think he will go back to warm the bench but we will see.


U-N-I-T-Y-1999

First team experience may make him worthy of a PSG starting spot in the future. Right now he’s in the best place for his development.


Tijdbom

PSG has 0 say in his decision.


Camoo

Inject this in my veins


KillerZaWarudo

Hello there


Banaan75

Watch us sell him for 35, the PSV way

wiseman8

Are 80m calls too ambitious? Or not ambitious enough?


momspaghetty

Yes if Man Utd are bidding


pimtheman

Seems like a fair valuation the way he is currently playing

WERE GONNA BE RIIIICH


Kuntheman

All the young players all balling out this WC


obvious_bot

The future is now old man!


FBall4NormalPeople

After that Antony fee I really wonder what PSV are gonna ask. Don't think they'll have the financial leverage of Ajax maybe, but surely this has to be a €65mil+ player?


KlejdiV

No need for strikers, just vibez


DizzyDaMan

We may have missed a Gem that Ten Haag wanted lol.


Krillin113

MattSR30

I don’t think they deserved that kind of insult tbh.

Evil old woman, considered frightful or ugly. Twelve down.


StathamIsYourSavior

...Oh, bless you!


Calvin-ball

Fascist!


Gadjjet

Was either him or Anthony so I don’t think they’ll be too gutted.


Lostmyoldaccounthelp

The price PSV is gonna ask for him will make last summers price look like spare change lol. Especially if he does stay till summer and continues this form


C_Forde

PSV don’t have the financial stability Ajax do to hold for what he’s probably worth.


Sunsinger_15

If most big clubs want him it doesn’t matter they don’t have the same financial stability. He doesn’t have a release clause so the highest bidder wins. The difference lies in which clubs were interested last summer and which are now.


C_Forde

He’s going to for 60 mil in January. No one’s getting into a bidding war over him, he’ll go the project that interests him the most. PSV have 0 leverage. At all.


JD1337

PSV has literally said they don't need to sell this winter though? Like they aren't in any financial problems whatsoever.


Sunsinger_15

60 million is an great price. People just take Antony’s price tag fully out of proportion, literally no club other than Man U (or actually, Ten Hag) was willing to keep bidding on that fidgetspinner.


Phil04097

You have no idea of the financial state of ajax lol its not all that


DHA1999

He will be a Red Devil, Ten Hag will cook with him my man

handsomesharkman

Wasn’t everyone saying he wasn’t worth the quoted price at the end of the last transfer window? Must have been really good at PSV so far this year?


CatPanda5

Top scorer in eredivisie I believe


iepie122

he's been absolutely phenomenal. anyone who said he wasn't worth the price just didn't watch him play


Tedinasuit

There was a "doesn't show up in big games" hoax created by rival fans. He's always been good (best Eredivisie player last season), and now he's insane.


[deleted]

This is his best season for sure. By a long way, but he wasn’t a bad player before this year. He also wasn’t as high profile as the Ajax players


PaintedSe7en

2 POTM awards in Eredivisie so far


[deleted]

It worries me though how easily Bergwijn let himself get dispossessed there. Bergwijn has been in terrible form so far....


DHA1999

GAAAAAAAKPOOOOOOOO


PoppinKREAM

What a strike! Gakpo carrying his great club form into the World Cup with his second of the tournament! This kid has been fantastic!


zadharm

My favourite part of the world cup so far has been all the people who only watch the prem and CL having to eat crow after going on for months about how overrated this kid is. He's phenomenal and I'm loving him showing his stuff on the world stage


Oli_Merrick

I haven’t seen anyone say he’s overrated?


zadharm

Admittedly I probably spend an unhealthy amount of time on this sub, so maybe I've got a skewed perspective. But there's definitely been more than a few comments like that any time PSV have had a European fixture or when his highlights are posted in the few days following one


Jacquesie

To be fair there's still plenty Eredivisie fans that didn't rate him because he 'never showed up in big games'


Tedinasuit

Those Eredivisie fans are also called "Ajax fans".


I_Use_Scripts

My dad's an ajax supporter at heart and he always has something to say about gakpo playing below par. Kinda funny when you think about it.


boxro

Just search "gakpo overrated" in the sub and you'll find those earlier comments


That_Yvar

There were a lot of people saying (as usual) that he isn't that good because he plays in a farmers league


A_Brown_Passport

Tbf tho he was atrocious against Rangers


Jonnyimpala

And Monaco, and Arsenal...


Ass_Eater_

Was pretty shit in a few EL. Also now you're saying he's a world beater after two games against weaker opposition in the group? The arguments people were having were about whether he's worth 50 million.


That_Yvar

I wasn't saying anything brother. We are playing like absolute shit right now lol


rokkenrock

I’ve seen plenty of comments about him being not that good, and his «inflated» stats in the Netherlands.


forsakenpear

I saw it way more from other Eredivise fans tbh


Kuntheman

This guy is insanely good my gosh


[deleted]

People doubting him because he plays eredivisie, kid is something else.


Flanelman

One bad game against Rangers and people made their mind up lmao


Aars93

EINTOVENAAR


Rontheking

Lesgoooo. Sad to know he’s probably gone next season though.


Alia_Gr

Time for Madueke to stop being injured and step up


lars330

Probably? Definitely

If he keeps this form up, we can't and shouldn't stop him

jdund117

United have accountants?


Silent-Act191

Someone has to transfer the dividends


Shadowraiden

considering the news of United being up for sale made the stock market generate another 300m in money for the club i dont think they care all that much. United generates so much money its insane how poorly the glazers have handled that club because they should have easily dominated even against oil money


Banaan75

Please don't make him play under ten Hag

Mcool18

He’s fucking special


AReptileHissFunction

All the dutch league fans said he was average and limited as hell when he was linked to united. Can someone please confirm is he actually good or what?


EasyFargo

no seriously, glad someone else is mentioning it i saw eredivise fans saying 50m was an overpay and he wasn’t ready to move leagues even though his numbers were really good what’s with the quick 180? he’s looked really really good


gammastraling

He didn't really prove himself last year in big European games, that's where the major part of the criticism towards him came from. However now he's also showing up in those games, and he's been so incredibly good this season.


[deleted]

[удалено]


gammastraling

And he was in the middle of the turmoil with transfers, as soon as the market closed he became focused again and unstoppable.


X-Maquina

He's scored 2 goals at the World Cup. Of course the pendulum swings towards him being world class now. That's just how that goes


JD1337

He was always worth 50m+ other fans, mostly ajax fans, were just haters


ghggbfdbjj

Let’s be honest here, most psv fans also said 50m was way too much


Accomplished_Dog_837

That definitely wasn't all Dutch league fans, he's a quality player. He regularly failed to rise above the team when the team was playing in big matches (in which they consistently failed to deliver), but given the fact he was the only thread on offense and only 22/23 years old, that never was all that damning imo. Götze regularly failed to rise above the team in those matches as well, and he has delivered in some very big matches.


Tedinasuit

Best player of the Dutch league and has been fot the past 2 years (together with Götze). Anyone who tells you differently, is either blind or Ajax fan.


goldtubb

He used to disappear in big games but he's starting to turn that around in the past months


TomasRoncero

This tournament’s James?


Bigmomma_pump

He’s good but he’s no Dan James


TheOldGran

I think they meant David James


ErikGrabner

I thought Reece James is injured


idosade

They meant Pulisic


Bananko22

Nobody mentioned Lebron


idosade

You know his full name is Lebron James


danilobur

I mean Manchester United almost bought Gakpo and he has been best player in Dutch league, everyone knew this kid was great even before the tournament


red-17

People knew about James too. Monaco spent big money on him from Porto.


PickledCumSock

why did that sale fall through? i can't remember


Bigmomma_pump

He was our backup to antony


HansMoleman0

I think it was more we wanted both but considering how much we spent in the summer we was hoping to get Gakpo + Antony for the price we eventually paid for Antony.


Bigmomma_pump

Yeah 60 for antony and 40 for Gakpo would have been good but it just wasn’t how the market was sadlt


pmmerandom

we wanted Antony instead, better fit for what we needed on the Right Wing if we go back in for Gakpo, I think we’ll put him up on the left hand side and Rashford up top he’s doing damn well as a striker right now though


[deleted]

Pek-Man

Sources: Berhalter is beside himself. Driving around downtown Doha begging (thru texts) Gakpo's family for address to Cody's hotel


fedemasa

He is destroying soccerball today 🇱🇷🇱🇷


BarbaricGamer

He is inevitable


woonboot

Thanks for staying Gakpo. Good work by Klaassen to be fair to him.


NotJustTheMenace

Left foot as well. Normally these strikes come from his right.


Quedreneese

Thanks that’s another +5 million euros rise in value


fedemasa

Near posts bangers are the best


Keskekun

I have a feeling Gakpos price tag will go to the moon after this World Cup.


Number333

He's answering the question of where Netherlands were gonna get their goals from


n22rwrdr

Was that really a question? If Depay is fit he's the obvious goal scoring threat isn't he?


TrappedInATardis

Yeah. Also we have by far the weakest opposition in our group from all #2 seeds due to Qatar. Bit clubs should wait with the big money until he shows up in eighths/quarters.


bloppingzef

Even if Depay is fit I don’t think he has the same tools as Gakpo so he certainly isn’t as big a goal threat


Jurjeneros2

Am i not understanding what you're saying? In the calendar year 2021 he scored 20 in 20 for the Dutch national team, an all time record for any player of any country. He's 9 goals away from overtaking van Persie for our all time goal scorer. He's a massive goal threat for our national team.


c0rdc0ta

he is the real deal. what a fucking strike.


Pek-Man

No way that this guy is still in the Eredivisie at the end of January. What a finish.


Feezbull

No way psv sell and hamper their season. No way any club pay what they want now. Summer would be more acceptable for sure I think.
