I´d like to give encouraging words but Rojo is a nutcase. Some of his tackles are mind boggling. I think it comes from his aggressive nature. Heinze was the same in the few games i saw from him at Sporting. He also has to cut the arguing with the refs stance all the time. Portuguese refs are more permissive. English refs won´t tolerate that. Van Gaal will have to do alot of physicological work with Rojo. Sometimes there absolutely no need to be so aggressive. I think his overall game would benefit from that. Keeping his cool and concentration in crucial moments of the game

This bit I like a lot. I keep dreading a ball over the top of our defence because our CB's aren't that quick. Hopefully Rojo will fix that.
Carvalho won´t leave this year mate. We already lost too many players in our defensive end. We need him for our Champions League campaign. The difference between the team with him and without him is staggering. We are too dependent on him at the moment. I can´t see Bruno de Carvalho letting him leave unless someone pays the clause. Only club rumours lately have been about Arsenal and Chelsea. Apparently Mourinho rates him very highly. They don´t need him now but who knows in the future.
Much needed defender with almost World Cup medal on his neck. Hopefully he'll shake this sleepy defense and add confidence.
Big hope after Pat's departure.

Dominant in the air and quick. Looks like good potential here. Hopefully van Gaal can help him develop and we'll have a good player on our hands.
There is quite a lot of hype around that Carlos Mane guy isn't there. How good do you think he is going to turn out to be and do you think Bruma will go down the Ronaldo route or the Quaresma route?
Brilliance. Absolute brilliance.
I didn't pay attention to Argentina games during the WC much but all I remember when I lift my head up to telly I often see garay and this guy who seemed to be all over the place. I didn't really checked what position he plays but he looked to be very strong, fast, aggresive player who liked to attack. I eventually found out that he played as a left back so that makes a lot of sense. But that is a good news when you all say he is solid defensively. I always liked versatile players. This palyer can be potentially goal scoring centreback, he can drive forward if he has enough confidence to do so, looks to have a decent shot in him as well.. I am confident he is no david Luiz and we are not brazil, we play 3 centrebacks so we can afford it to let one of the centrebacks go forward and surely it is the instruction to do it from time to time if its what takes to keep posession or set an unexpected counter. I have a good feeling about this transfer..
So, we've been negotiating since the end of the World Cup and nobody had a clue until he liked United on instagram. Shows how much the press knows.
We have probably noticed him when we were scouting for Carvalho last year.

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.

Well going by what Rojo has said, it just shows that the media are clueless. We've apparently been in talks with Rojo since the end of the WC (and his representatives were in contact with us during it too), and yet it wasn't until the last 2 weeks in which we've been linked with Rojo.
Aye fair enough, one for next summer then, maybe his sale will give you the funds to buy Nani outright after he wins you the Primeira liga this year!
♫ Sporting doesn't like him

I have big hopes on Carlos Mané and i expect him to keep evolving at good rhytm. I think he will have a good internacional career if he shows desire for it and works hard. The talent is there. Just a question of getting his head to it. He seems like a quiet and responsible lad. About Bruma i got to be honest, since he left for Galatasaray, i haven´t been following his career. There was a very big hype about him in our academy. Had a serious injury last year, dunno how he recovered.
Really? Smalling is probably the quickest in the league.
Really hope so mate. Porto are clear favourites but Nani gives a very interesting boost
Hope he doesn´t have any injury though. That´s my main concern.Hopefully he can add some ball-playing ability to the back line...but I've never really sat back and watched him so I've no idea what he can do. I think we're lacking a personality in defence and he certainly looks like a character.
He seems to have good pace but isn't really quick off the mark. The opposite is true for Jones.
Cheers. Hope Gauld does well for you guys as well and starts the trend of promising british youngsters going overseas.
I just can't wait to see the personal battle between Diego Costa and Rojo. Will be fantastic.
Not sure, he certainly has the acceleration here.
Gauld did very well for Sporting B against Santa Clara. Got big praise from the media. He´s very young but he got big compliments for his technical ability and specially for his passing. Like Dier was, Gauld is a personal bet from the President. He will have time and support to settle. Then it´s up to him to cement his place at our club. Sorry for the off topic (this is the Rojo thread).
Smalling and Jones are extremely quick
Really hope so mate. Porto are clear favourites but Nani gives a very interesting boost
You never know might just get lucky there, certainly due a good run in that department, if he stays fit for you he'll be great, will be keeping a close eye on Sporting games this season, best of luck this season.
He likes good animation
Like the tats, when was the last time we had a player with loads of tattoos except for Buttner? even he only had one sleeve.
Thank you very much mate
Like i said, i will give reports about Nani´s performances for usProbably Beckham, but he wasn't nearly as tattooed back then as he is now.
Yeah I think he only had one on his arm before he left us, and the one on the back of his neck?

Not enough mushrooms mate.
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.
Rojo, woaah
Rojo, woaah
His name is f*cking red
Something that rhymes with red

No they didn't actually.
Well at least we know he is passionate for the club. He really put himself in the firing line to try and get this move to happen. Good luck to him.
