Ok.
Lindelof signs new contract until 2024 (+1)
- Thread starter Zebs
- Start date
Really? We've known about it for a while.
Unhappy?
Mate its a discussion forum, none of us know better than any of them, if we used that line of thinking we might as well shut this place down as we're all clueless.
Neither happy nor sad about this. Kinda meh news for me. I like him as a character and his performance has become good since last season, though I'm sure there's still a room for improvement for him.
Good player for us, good decision. Unlike the contract renewal of Phil bones jones.
I misread Lindelöf for Lingard and was surprised that no one was outraged in the comments 
Let’s wait and see. I’m not saying they will be Rio and Vidic but actually the standards don’t need to be that high to go down as an excellent partnership.
Good news.
When does Greenwood & Gomes’ contracts expire?
When does Greenwood & Gomes’ contracts expire?
Pretty sure Gomes is into his final year, which is madness.
In my time watching United I've been lucky enough to see 3 top quality partnerships.
Bruce & Pallister
Vidic & Ferdinand
Jaap & Stam
We'll be lucky if Maguire & Lindelof come even close.
That’s fair enough, I also correctly called that Liverpool would have a great defence and had great potential fullbacks way ahead of the consensus, only time will tell whether I’m right again or not.How can I take your opinion seriously with that username?
It wouldn't be Manchester United if we weren't rewarding mediocrity
If that’s the case, then that is crazy!
Hope we get him signed up asap or we are going to lose him for nowt
Yeh agreed, it’s not easy to achieve that, but for the first time since Rio and Vida I feel like our CBs have the requisite talent to form a great partnership.
Is it really that weird? I'd rather we sorted this shit out nice and early than start to let it run down.His current contract was valid until 2021, with plus one year option. This club is weird
Weren't there rumours of barcelona being interested.
Dont mind him, guff lord just roams around calling others cnuts and trying to sell his wisdom, which he has none.
Just 2 of these kind of posts. Pleasently surprised but I guess there are more coming soon.
Find those posts so we can believe you.
Yes, let's just go and sign 11 £120m players and hope they succeed.
Please, for the love of God, go support someone else.
Defense seems sorted out for years to come. Great news!
This absolutely makes sense. From the reports he was one of the lowest paid members of our first team squad and as he is now a regular was deserving of a pay rise, especially in light of the interest from Barca. I know some fans will say what was the rush but it does seem that the main reason Ander screwed us over was because we did not negotiate with him when he was playing well a couple of seasons ago when he was clearly underpaid compared to others.
I want to see Axel push through and I agree we need to sign another good CB when the opportunity arises but we still need Victor as including Harry that would give us 4 good players in the position which is the bare minimum as City are now hopefully finding out to their cost. We can move forward with getting rid of Rojo and Jones and let Smalling make his switch to Roma permanent which to his credit he is very willing to do.

Don't rate him at all... what has he done to deserve a new contract? He can't even head a ball!
Good lad, nice to have someone who really wants to be here and succeed. Him and Maguire will make a good partnership and if not Axel can come boot the fecker out 
I don’t really have time to go trawling through my post history but if you want to go ahead. I just distinctly remember being called a Liverpool fan for saying how good Klopp is and the potential that squad has. I’d rather wait and see if this latest prediction comes off, I think Lindelof and Maguire will form our best partnership since Rio and Vida by a mile .
Caf: Errr muh guurrd why didn't we tie down Herrera earlier? Absolute shambles.
Also Caf: Err muh guuurd why have we tied down Lindelof when he still has more than 2 years left on his deal? Absolute shambles.

Weird timing but alright, he's young and the caf tells me he's way better than Smalling.
Good news, he can be our 3rd choice centre back for years to come.
Though I guess with the one year option this one is 3 years... but still, i'm all for the club sorting contracts out earlier going forward.
Disagree, it's about time we started signing players up to new contracts 2 years before they're about to expireHis current contract was valid until 2021, with plus one year option. This club is weird

I'm not sure he's that good - I think he only looked good in comparison to the dross around him. But we have much more pressing areas of the squad to address and far worse players than him, so it makes sense to keep him around.
Great news.
If we continue to be solid it's not a priority.
It wouldn't be redcafe if we didn't have posts like this
No outstanding attributes, he's just ok.
It's not hard to beat the pairings since we had Rio and Vida as a partnership to be fair. We've been unable to have a suitably consistent pairing in the middle since.
Spot on. Hopefully he improves as he's still young but he's not good enough yet to be our first choice CB, we need better.
Well thats exactly my point, the statement "one of our best ever partnerships" sounds insane but in reality it is achievable If Maguire and Lindelof play together for a couple of seasons consistently.
Convenient during renewal talks eh?
It's probably the right time to do it otherwise we end up over a barrel like De Gea. Hopefully it's not ridiculous money so that we can shift him later on because we'll want better than him to be competitive again.
