Mou knows his defenders! Let's hope this trend continues.

Yeah if they were available. Good luck with thatI don't really see him as fighting for a spot in the first team next season, my guess he's more of a prospect. Which, considering Tuanzebe, it's a bit awkward. I was thinking Mourinho was going for a experienced almost overqualified center-back, like Bonucci or Marquinhos.
That's sensible, are you sure this sort of level headedness belongs on the caf?Never ever seen him play or had heard of him till rumours started. I'll make an informed decision (personal opinion) once I've seen him play a few minutes.

Just being on the pitch will be a bonus compared to our other defenders.Can someone give a round up of what he's like? Haven't really seen this guy play.
Lindelof isn't a prospect, he's an established first teamer.I don't really see him as fighting for a spot in the first team next season, my guess he's more of a prospect.

Must be my age.That's sensible, are you sure this sort of level headedness belongs on the caf?
And its hillarious that he was voted Best lb in the world cup in previous worldcupIf Mou thinks Rojo's a bad LB he isn't going to play him at LB just because he wants some practice before the WC.
I think it's fair to presume he won't.Sounds like the type of signing we need, having not seen a lot of him. Hope he stays clear of injuries
It's quite obvious why. He didn't need to make as many of those because the average squad age was higher.And that is telling of Mourinho because...? Actually, the signings during Mourinho's term at Inter were of a wide age range too. This "Mourinho only signs established experienced players" is closer to myth than fact.
He's 23 soon, a Sweden international and a regular for Benfica, he's not coming here to play for the U23s, he's coming to be a starter next season. I like the fact that we've gone for a ball playing defender, I do hope Mourinho doesn't try to remove that from his game (we did resort too often to the long ball against decent opposition last season and Mourinho even criticised the defenders for trying to pass it out and not punting it long enough when we played City).I don't really see him as fighting for a spot in the first team next season, my guess he's more of a prospect.

this makes me want to cry it's so true.I think it's fair to presume he won't.
Players develop, Bonucci played for Bari with 22, look at him todayTo think that most people didn't rate him at all when he was bought for Benfica's formation team. He used to play as a right-back, then was tested in midfield and afterwards center-back, where he stood. But for a long time almost no one imagine he could be helpful to Benfica, never mind United.
I didn't say he was coming to play for the formation, C…! If Rojo was fit he would be not near the starters, though.He's 23 soon, a Sweden international and a regular for Benfica, he's not coming here to play for the U23s, he's coming to be a starter next season. I like the fact that we've gone for a ball playing defender, I do hope Mourinho doesn't try to remove that from his game (we did resort too often to the long ball against decent opposition last season and Mourinho even criticised the defenders for trying to pass it out and not punting it long enough when we played City).
He is planning to stay here for a while, he was planning to win a couple of trophies in 2-3 years and leave in the other jobs he had.Very unlike Mourinho. He normally signs established veterans/players very much in their peak. 28-30~ year old range.
Of course, that's why I said he was being bought as a prospect. I can hardly see him imposing like Bailly, but I hope I'm wrong.Players develop, Bonucci played for Bari with 22, look at him today
His only competition is Rojo, who will be injured for quite some time. The three of them will play a lot of games this season, prospect or not.Of course, that's why I said he was being bought as a prospect. I can hardly see him imposing like Bailly, but I hope I'm wrong.

Ramsey fee agreed
United have agreed a fee with Cardiff City to bring talented teenager Aaron Ramsey to Old Trafford.
The 17-year-old left-sided midfielder has yet to agree personal terms and must also pass a medical before any deal can be completed.
A club spokesperson told ManUtd.com: "Manchester United is delighted to announce it has agreed terms with Cardiff City for the transfer of Aaron Ramsey subject to contract terms being agreed and the player passing a medical."
But the Reds aren't the only club in for the teenager. Cardiff have confirmed that "three top Premier League teams" have made bids, with two given permission to speak to the Wales starlet.
Ramsey, who has attracted plenty of interest from the best clubs in England, is considered one of his country's brightest prospects in recent years and follows in an impressive line of left-sided Welsh players, including Gareth Bale and his idol Ryan Giggs.
He earned rave reviews following his performance in Cardiff's 2-0 FA Cup quarter-final win over Middlesbrough and played in their final defeat to Portsmouth at Wembley
Sell Jones and Smalling then sign Keane, I'm sure I read that Keane is the best aerial centre back in the league stats wise.Sounds like a good signing, but it's worrying, if it's true, that he's weak in the air. With Bailly being shit at it too, it could be problematic.
It's not obvious to me. Most squads in football aren't Ajax or Dortmund. The age of the Real Madrid squad he inherited was normal. It's hardly surprising it's older than ours because we have had a very young squad these last 2 years. My point is he had signings of varied ages at Inter as well. I dare say his signings at Chelsea both terms were hardly restricted to only "27-30yr olds". He's just like most other managers, signing a collection of players of differing ages. Just like LVG in his 2 years here, just like SAF did most of the time here.It's quite obvious why. He didn't need to make as many of those because the average squad age was higher.
He won the most aerial duels but, both Jones and Smalling both had better aerial duels percentage.Sell Jones and Smalling then sign Keane, I'm sure I read that Keane is the best aerial centre back in the league stats wise.
I meant at the highest level. No wonder we're struggling to offload players when we pay them so much.Hasn't he won Liga 3 times and the cup a couple of times?
He's a very exciting signing in my opinion.
Mourinho has got it right with all 4 signings last summer and I think he's going to do the same this time around.
Lindelöf, probably Morata, who's next?
