Another to add to the Ole pile of awful signings.
Blind is a very good defender Telles isn't anywhere near his level.A likeable guy but a nothing player in his role. Even as a backup we can do better. Maybe Hag will get some good use out of him playing further up the pitch. He might attempt to give him the responsibility he entrust Blind with at Ajax and that's a huge role as Hag likes to overload the left side against low blocks. Two things Telles is decent at is passing the ball forward and crossing
I didn't directly compare them. I rated Blind during his time at united. I'm merely saying Hag may attempt to deploy Telles in a similar role down the left as he's doing with Blind at Ajax..Blind is a very good defender Telles isn't anywhere near his level.
He doesn’t really , he usually just hits the 1st man at the near postHe takes a good corner.
He's utter shite at everything else.
Good relative to our usual standard.He doesn’t really , he usually just hits the 1st man at the near post
100% on Telles. Lindelof did the right thing, Telles just randomly drifted in field and stood there. Hopeless defender. Honestly really basic stuff.Not sure the 2nd goal was on him as Lindelof passed Pukki on when Telles was still a few yards away so not much chance of getting back in. 1st he was poor for though.
Sorry I don't see how that might work, Blind is very clever defender and has some of the best deliveries in the game. Telles isn't a good defender and his passing is nothing more than ok. But who knows apparently Telles was great for Porto, ETH might get him firing on all cylinders.I didn't directly compare them. I rated Blind during his time at united.

He's not going to replace every player in every position in his first window and many of the current squad may remain for the foreseeable future
Hag's options down that left are Telles and Shaw. Shaw gets a lot of stick but I think he's a better all round player than Telles and fitness allowing will probably get the first chance to impress Hag in that role. If you look at Ajax games that left side is instrumental in their setup, a lot comes down that side. He may take a different approach at united.Sorry I don't see how that might work, Blind is very clever defender and has some of the best deliveries in the game.

Alvaro isn’t the quickest, but looking at Telles today in his cement boots you’d have to say he’d struggle to be slower. Wish Ralf would give a few more young uns a go.Would rather see Alvaro Fernandez be given a good run atm.
Shaw should be back up. Go and get a starting lb and sell this waste of spaceAverage player. Signed as a backup. Should be a backup next year and hopefully we move on.
Shaw is on 250 k p/w. He is either first choice or you sell him. Neither are good enough and we should be both replaced, but if we do sign a new lb, I would look to offload Shaw first.Shaw should be back up. Go and get a starting lb and sell this waste of space
No you should offload the worst player first. Which is Telles. Im all for selling Shaw, as bad as he is hes still 3 times the player Telles isShaw is on 250 k p/w.

In general I would agree, but factoring that Shaw has been "accused" of leaks and sulking etc and given his lack of professionalism regarding fitness, I would still prefer we sell Shaw first. We should try to remove bad influences first and foremost.No you should offload the worst player first. Which is Telles.

Sell them both then. Why keep a player who isn’t good enough to even be a backup (Telles)In general I would agree, but factoring that Shaw has been "accused" of leaks and sulking etc and given his lack of professionalism regarding fitness, I would still prefer we sell Shaw first. We should try to remove bad influences first and foremost.

That's why I put in earmarks. However, his lack of professionalism regarding fitness is factual.By whom, people on twitter and forums who don't know anything?
Thats complete bollox. Hes fit enough to play for us and be much better than Telles except when hes injuredThat's why I put in earmarks. However, his lack of professionalism regarding fitness is factual.
Fit enough is not enough for one of your highest earners. It's about setting standards. Barca sold Ronaldinho, Saf sold Whiteside etc not because they were not talented.Thats complete bollox. Hes fit enough to play for us and be much better than Telles except when hes injured
I don't know about professionalism, but he's like so many other players in the squad lack intensity in games for some reason.That's why I put in earmarks. However, his lack of professionalism regarding fitness is factual.
