Because this guy might be better? Why did we buy Wayne rooney instead of trying kieran Richardson?
Diogo Dalot | Done Deal | Speaks better English than Valencia
- Thread starter Tom Van Persie
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Sounds like an old PES player
Thank you for typing out my thoughts! You can’t cream about City’s technically gifted players and want TFM as your right back at the same time.
The Portuguese right-footed Bale. I’m convinced
Valencia still had a decent season overall and will still be an important player next season I'm sure. Mou loves him, and tbh, I've always been a huge fan. He has an impossible task out there, considering we never have a right sided attacker in front of him, and the rest of the defence is shambolic and always injured. Dalot will hopefully rotate with Tony to keep him fresh and eventually take over.
As for Fosu Mensah... pretty sure hes just not actually very good. Fast, strong, but more of an athlete then a footballer if you know what I mean. Never seemed like an intelligent player to me. Didnt really stick out for palace either.
Fosu-Mensah is a bit of a myth. He's not even a right back.
This guy sound promising, I like signings such as this. They tend to work out better for us. Basically everyone who has seen him play rate him highly for the future.
Apparently he has a meniscus tear injury, hopefully not too bad if any of the Liga watchers could shed any light on that? Hopefully fit for pre-season. He did it late April (according ti TransferMarkt), if it's just a meiscus he should be fine for July.

And what is there to be positive about ?
It should be clear as day that we need a serious quality injection on both fullback positions if we want to start challenging for major silverware. You would expect we are signing someone who is established and can be an immediate starter for us. What chance on that do you have with a 19 year old who has only played 6 games so far in the portguese first league ? I mean no offence to the player, he looks really good for a 19 year old player, he might become a star in a few years, that is great for him but we really need someone who is already a star and we need them right now. So this signing makes absolutley no sense for me, especially given how Mourinho is so wonderfully patient with young players, like someone said if this kid makes a mistake, it will be Valencia again for the rest of the season and where does that leave us in terms of progress ?
spot on.
Wtf? In that case, do not want!
Unlike Fabinho who was wanted by Liverpool and Atletico. We win, we win. Yeeeey.
Yes United did it to annoy you
Hopefully it's not like when both us and Real were interested in Bebe.
Nah, he sounds good.nice one! love these kinds of signings.
He's going to be Jose's token Portuguese RB.
Hope he's more of a Paolo Ferreira and not a Jose Bosingwa.

I will think he is best RB ever, when I see him in Red shirt. Or pink.
You mad? Is's summer!
Has had anybody seen this lad play, will he start?
Sheer incompetence to lose our best youth product in 20 years (along with Neves) for mere 20M when he would be a starter next season. The only solace is that at least he is going to United and not some third rate club. It's sad that clubs like mine can't hold onto their youth products even before they complete one full season for the senior team but it's the state of modern football where money talks.
20 m is ok , dont care
Is he good enough ?
Looks decent enough from a youtube vid, but the level opposition there looked mainly to be youth so no idea how it'd translate to the top level.
Do badly new fullbacks and there aren't many top ones available so hopefully this is us doing what Liverpool have done with their fullbacks.

He's good then?
If there's no better, top drawer option available for the right fee - I'd take this with the caveat that he actually gets a lot of game-time. Valencia simply cannot start every game if we're to challenge for anything (same goes for LB and Young). We need freshening up on both flanks.
Was just waiting for any Porto fan to enter the thread to ask this question immediately.
Exciting!Tweet

I think you guys will like him but give the boy 3 games to settle.
Whatever, Fabinho's a better right back.
Pls bite

Quick, who can get to the Next Captain thread first?
Trying to remember the last young Porto player to join a Prem side. Helder Postiga?
Why 3 games particularly ?
Klopp would prefer developing a young talent imo. Arnold much better attacking wise while Valencia is overrated for his defensive contribution imo
Heh, if I didn't read your join date I'd have guessed you're new here.
Proper fun signing this. Youngster with bags of potential, love this sort of transfer.
He’s only 19 this story is obviously BS.
Taking a thread off topic
I would take this signing if we actually had a coach who can tolerate mistakes from young players instead of throwing them under the buss and reverting to his old known players at the first sign of trouble.
Valencia will still play the majority of the time and we will not improve much at all compaired to this year. If we are lucky and this guy is the real deal we will have a good rightback in a year or 2 which is essentially 2 years too late.
Dalot of shit jokes in here. 
Nah, he was 25.
Never heard of him.
Omg it’s been 2 hours since this was reported and he’s not signed yet fs omg.
So slow compared to Liverpool, as usual.
Lol
