Victor Lindelöf | Officially signs

[Jim Beam]

We started last summer with defender, we're doing it again this time. Very young, read some great comments, Jose has been great at picking defenders so...

Welcome to The Theatre of Dreams.

Jose seems to be building young and exciting team. Let's bring Morata now also.

 

[Kill 'em all]

Are Man Utd reliable? I remember that one time where a player was holding our shirt and went to play for Chelsea.

 

[Paxi]

I'm a fan of this provisional early announcements from the club.

 

[Damien]

I seem to remember this type of talk about a Saturday signing before.

Yeah. Schweini was announced on a Saturday. Then there was the pic of the two vials and we found out two days later it was legit with Schneiderlin then being confirmed.

 

[Man-United]

"Michael Keane a no go" - Simon Stone just now on twitter

 

[Berbaclass]

Duncan Castles deserves credit for confirming this at 8.02pm. I bet he got a text from Jose.

Get the Sheen out, he deserves a polish!

 

[Pexbo]

We'll probably have to wait til the stock exchange opens on Monday. I can see this being a blessing in disguise. Can't believe Woodward is paying £35m for him, I could have negotiated him for £25m.

 

[roonster09]

23 in July.

What was that about Jose only signing players for the short term?

Will be 30 in 7 years, too old.

 

[Acquire Me]

Yay. We finally have 2 decent cbs

Rojo is a very good CB imo. If he keep going strong after the injury we will be very good.

 

[devilish]

Vidic and Ferdinand 2.0?

I dont know about that. However bailly-lindelof seem a better option then hodor-bran

 

[sunama]

Finally, we have purchased a player!

 

[Summit]

Yeah. Schweini was announced on a Saturday. Then there was the pic of the two vials and we found out two days later it was legit with Schneiderlin then being confirmed.

I tagged you because I couldn't remember who it was, but I knew you'd confirm. Good lad

 

[clarkydaz]

i wont be convinced till I see youtube compilations of 10 yard passes with dance music

 

[EyeInTheSky]

What about embargo or someone other journolist reporting it?

looks like 2 myths killed with one shot. We need to sticky this thread and reference it each time someone mentions either of the two.

 

[devilish]

Rojo is a very good CB imo. If he keep going strong after the injury we will be very good.

Hes not first team level.

 

[Tiber]

I admit... I thought this was bogus. Props to the press in Portugal I suppose

 

[golden_blunder]

All we have announced so far is that we agreed a price

 

[Macern]

I'm assuming he was highest up on that CB list since we've been linked with him for a long time and fare more than Keane and especially Van Dijk.

 

[walkinhop]

I have seen both play, Stones is the better player
i am joking ffs

Who is the better defender? And second, is Lindelof better than all other defenders we have?

 

[Summit]

Hes not first team level.

he was last season

 

[Mciahel Goodman]

Excellent.

 

[EyeInTheSky]

Actually sometimes I don't think it's even a joke, we either play with U21 or some here will accuse Jose of planning for short term and will leave us destroyed.

Did you see that thread about Jose and "conflict" of interest with the club about long term signings

 

[Paxi]

All we have announced so far is that we agreed a price

To be fair we're the only ones in for him Geebs. It looks like a formality now.

 

[Infra-red]

Good luck. Very sad that him and Ederson only lasted 18 months in our team. 31M£ is also very little. It will be the cheapest buy, I'm certain.

Watch out for his aerials duals, his weakness.

It is a bit of a concern, given he'll likely be partnering Bailly. Having said that, we have some tall players elsewhere in the team, who should be able to help us out with defending set-peices.

 

[Nate Dogg]

Good signing

How highly do you rate him?

 

[Pogue Mahone]

All we have announced so far is that we agreed a price

Moving from Benfica to United the deal won't get hung up on agreeing personal terms tbf.

 

[roonster09]

All we have announced so far is that we agreed a price

Liverpool would have announced agreement with player first

 

[Paxi]

he was last season

Do not pay heed.

 

[sunama]

£30 million is a great price in today's market for a young potentially world class defender

Great bit of business ahhh I'm so happy.

In all honesty, we don't quite know how good this guy will be at MUFC.
Before celebrating like we've won the league, I'd rather wait for the season then make a judgement. For the record, I think both Rojo and Baily are better than Lindelof, but we shall wait and see how he does.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

All we have announced so far is that we agreed a price

Everyone will be holding their breath when Sweden play Norway next week.

 

[Acquire Me]

Hes not first team level.

I think he is, but that's a discussion for another thread

 

[sunama]

Liverpool would have announced agreement with player first

 

[Summit]

Moving from Benfica to United the deal won't get hung up on agreeing personal terms tbf.

I think he means William spurs scenario

 

[efraim]

I'm born in the same city as this guy but haven't really seen him play. I did however see him play when he won the U21 Euros with Sweden and he was excellent then but that was 2 years ago.

Hope the rumours of him being a good ball-playing CB are true, because it would really complement Bailly. Hopefully a CB partner-ship that will last a long time.

Exciting signing!

 

[mayonnaise]

Both Mourinho's first signings of the season have been Centre backs, he's building a team here

 

[Nate Dogg]

We can finally say goodbye to the 2 frauds Smalling & Jones

 

[kouroux]

Who has seriously watched him to give a proper review? I don't want a youtube compilation nor the opinion of a so-called caf experts

 

[devilish]

he was last season

for a couple of months in a 2 years stay. I can't really pinpoint what's wrong with him. He's half decent in everything but he doesn't excel in anything. He reminds me of a better version of Silvestre. The physical aspects are all there (pace, comfortable with the ball, inches etc) but somehow things doesnt work well for him

 

[Paxi]

I think he means William spurs scenario

Or Aaron Ramsey.

 

[el3mel]

Did you see that thread about Jose and "conflict" of interest with the club about long term signings

Yep, some sees us getting a 27-28 years and immediately conclude Jose's building for short term and will try to win anything before leaving in 2 years and the team will get destroyed and we all will go to hell.

 

[Tiber]

Are Man Utd reliable? I remember that one time where a player was holding our shirt and went to play for Chelsea.

Not to mention Aaron Ramsey
