Don't think we should kid ourselves he is a risk, and a bit of an unknown, if he was signing for City, Chelsea, or Liverpool we'd all be expecting him to be crap,

He could be top, could be terrible, so we now have Phil 'not trained on' Jones, Chris 'I just can't pass' Smalling, Jonny 'Injured again' Evans, and Marcos 'god only knows' Rojo as our main CB's, that's a bit frightening IMO, we are just crying our for a experienced leader but I am not seeing anyone out there at all.

That's a worrying fact this time though. Vidic and Evra came in United's glory years so had little pressure! Everyone will be getting on Rojo's back if he doesn't perform.

They came during very bleak times where it was wondered how we would ever manage to overcome Chelsea. Remember Evra's debut in an awful 3-1 loss to City?
 
Rojo ho you float,
quickly down the wing,
merrily merrily merrily,
signed for muppets dreams!

We needed a top class defender this summer, and at the moment we still haven't got one. This lad could be good but we need someone with a calm head and experience. There's still time but I haven't got a clue who else we could get.

Maybe not 'glory years', but they didn't come off the back of an all time low finish and nasty managerial transitional periods.
 
"Marcos Rojo is a red...it's his surname"

It's the only worthy chant.

It´s a good policy. We have some good players (William Carvalho, Carlos Mané) and an academy that has a proven track record. Who knows, we might do business again in the near future.

I think United will win with Nani if he has a good season in Europe, actually this deal was better for him, same pay and CL football.
 
Dazzmondo said:
If it's true we're paying Nani's full wages, then this is a terrible deal on our part. I expected Sporting to pay at least 40% of his wages. I seriously hope this part of the deal isn't true.

Why? Nobody, rightly because he's awful and probably the thickest footballer on the planet, would buy him and sporting would take him to help this deal go through.
 
Rojooooooooooooooooooo! Rojoooooooooooooooo!

Rojo, Rojo, he is a red you know
He can't defend, i'd rather Blind
Rojo, Rojo

No they came at a time when we were battling for the PL which we hadn't won in three or four years if I remember right. The glory years returned under them.

But we also have Louis 'I'm smart' van Gaal...

The season they came we were knocked out of CL in that Benfica, Lille, Villareal group finishing bottom and had somehow managed to get into the top 2/3 after a good run 2nd half with Giggs and O'shea in midfield and Silvestre in defence. Then SAF fell out with our top scorer in Van Nistelrooy at some point after him fouling out with Ronaldo twice. Then Rooney and Ronaldo in the summer had a bust up at the WC meanwhile Chelsea signed some superstars like Ballack, Shevchenko amongst others. Scholes was out with eye issues as well and had a uncertain future.
 
I know we wanted someone a bit older, but that's taking the piss. Still, i bet he's at least quicker than Rio.
 
I see a lot of people saying he's aggressive, which is something I like to see. We don't have enough cojones at the back, and bringing in Herrera and this guy seems to be the right direction to bringing in some aggression. Look forward to seeing LVG's "official first signing".

Aye since 2003. I corrected myself and said not exactly 'glory years' but still in a better way than we are now.

You are paying all his wages. It´s in the CMVM report i translated in the Rojo thread in the transfer forum http://web3.cmvm.pt/sdi2004/emitentes/docs/FR51803.pdf

"Em simultâneo a SPORTING SAD chegou ao acordo com o Manchester United
para a cedência temporária, livre de encargos, para a SPORTING SAD do
atleta Nani, até ao final da época 2014/2015."

Basically says that Sporting gets Nani on loan, free of charge (livre de encargos translation), till the end of the 2014/2015 season.

fair enough, I'll take your word for it! I did see the 'free of charge' but thought it might just mean no loan fee, but sounds like United had to sweeten the deal to get it through

Not too impressed with this signing! Doesn't show an intention to return to the top. This is an Europa League signing or 3rd 4th Place at best but doesn't compare to the likes we call world class. Hope i am proved wrong and eh will have my full support from day one but I think he is prone to make errors either positioning or disciplinary.

Which left footed CB would you have signed?
 
Come into this thread to make a random song about Rojo
Why does this always happen when we sign someone, though?
Why cant you all just say that you're happy with it
Rather than making up songs that are just fecking shit?
 
Nice to see his plane has landed and that he didn't get the same one as Benatia did Saturday and Woodward did last year
 
I think by the end of last weeks podcast I was pronouncing it right. Pretty sure I heard @The Mitcher shout 'wahey' after my last attempt!
 
It's actually pronounced "Roj-Hoi".

Silent J. Silent I.
 
Ro-jo, there he goes
Makes a mistake and they score a goal
Foot too high, sent off, oh no
Let's sell him for Candyyyyyy ehhh ehhhh
