Hopefully they'll be back in for Dalot.
People saying "he is too old" or "would be a disappointing signing" deserve to see another season of Shaw and Wiliiams stinking up the left back position.
Maybe Bruno had a saying in this.
But I like this.

Yes please. A left footed left back is a priority area.
We will haggle until PSG pay up.
No point in bashing the club over imaginary contracts offered to players that we are not interested in. We fall for this crap all the time but there is more chance of you seeing a unicorn than there is of this deal being real.
Not sure this lad is anything other than bench fodder behind Shaw. He might even struggle to make that some weeks when you have Brandon able to play both sides.
Be surprised if this one ends up happening.

Had to, surely? Otherwise we'd have been in earlier
Some great experts in here who have never seen him play.
28 year olds arent signing 3 year contracts anywhere.
How is he Adnan? I trust your scouting.
Why is it a panic boy ? 3 names have been mentioned at LB - Reguilon and Telles most frequent. We couldnt get Reguilon, Telles (if he comes) looks like 2nd choice
Where is the Norwegian wannabe pro scouter?
He was fun.

Because that takes him to 33...you don’t suddenly die at the age of 31 you know.
Telles what you really think.......I'll get my coat
Any Portistas care to share their thoughts on Telles?
I don't really know alot about him so it would be nice to read some fan opinion on the player.

Porto is one of those teams alongside Sporting that United put a heavy amount of scouting emphasis on, I doubt this is a panic buy even if he's being brought in with an understanding that he is cover for Luke Shaw.
Not for €20M Euro there aren't, that's cheap as chips in today's market.This would be such a wasteful and truly disappointing signing, there are so many other options that suit our suppose 'transfer policy' a lot better.
No doubt we need cover at LB and Telles looks a very exciting and experienced player, It's a thumbs up from me.
This story is popping up all over the place right now, so maybe there is something to it.
I've just asked the same question mate. I don't know alot about him.
I think it would be a quality signing for the price.
Well Reguilon was offered to us and it was the agent pushing it, we never really wanted to agree to the terms. I haven't heard Telles mentioned once apart from in conjunction with Chelsea this window.
He's 27 and a 5 year contract sounds excessive. He's in his prime and not a single big club has had him down as their first choice. Seem's a bit odd to be honest.
Watch a bit of the Portuguese league (my father in law is from Portugal and has it on all the time). He’s fantastic going forward, a really good crosser, good skill and has a thunder shot. Defensively I wouldn’t say he’s as good as Shaw and he is a touch slower (not loads). He defends quite aggressively and pushes on to his man which means he sometimes gets caught out. I think he’ll likely be there to unlock defences in easier games or he’d be brilliant in the 3-5-2
also 5 yr deal is perfect. He’ll be 32 so should still be at a similar level - I swear some people think players over 30 decline rapidly, scarred by Wayne Rooney who was playing top level football at 17

Fair enough.
This is in line with what Romano said today. He said a FB and winger were arriving, step by step

I think he will play I have a feeling Shaw is being moved more to CB role. He is a better attacker than Shaw.
No idea if he is any good and if we are really interested.
But how can anyone complain about a 5 year contract for a 27 year old?
Didn’t Liverpool offer an injury prone 29 year old Thiago a 4 year contract? Did any United fans question that contract length?

If we have a window of VdB, Telles and and Sancho I’ll be very happy.
Sure, if the plan is to go 3-5-2 and Shaw would be a lot less susceptible to injury in that position as well.
But he's 27! Twenty and Seven! He might as well be 50...
I’m 27
I think Shaw would only be considered as a left sided CB in a back 3.
They will be rotated at LB and will still get plenty of game time.
Feck I wish I was 27 again.
Who's the 3rd LB?
who's the third name on the list? Just so I know how to react to the Telles news
Just been spotted getting on a plane with Nico Gaitan bound for Manchester....EAT: 23:05...18th of September....2026
OGS did say we will buy players that will improve the team and young player won't.
