If he goes to City he can De Ligt my balls!
You do know his name is pronounced similarly to how we say "delight", right? So I would say he's more likely to do that if in fact he signs for us...

Edit: I have been corrected, so carry on.

No it is not. The ‘g’ is pronounced as in ‘Galahad’. (Am native speaker)

I am also a native speaker, technically the sound is a hard G with a roll like you are coughing up flem, but there isn't really a English way to phrase that. De Lickt isn't far off, but it certainly isn't delight.

Can I point out, with this that Pep has gone on record saying they're looking for one or two and they don't have the money to splash like last year, so If I make the assumption they'll sign two players around 50-60 mill each, my money is on one being a cm to replace fernandinho i.e jorginho as fernandinho is getting on. The other in my opinion is an attacking outlet that they lack when aguero is injured. They wanted Sanchez initially then Mahrez.

The point I'm making is, I'm 99.9% certain they will not sign De Ligt if you look at things logically.

You are correct in stating that there isn't really an English way to phrase it. Can't describe it better than you did anyway ('like coughing up flem' :) )
