Where are the people moaning about how many transfers we have completed and the time it takes? We are getting business done.

Hope the next video is our mascot unveiling Dalot. Then Fred the Red takes off his costume to reveal... Fred. Boom! Double announcement.

That would make up for the shitty video they released for Fred's signing.

Or the mascot unveils Dalot. Then takes off his costume to reveal... Dalot! Then the other Dalot pulls off his mask to reveal Fred! Boom! Nobody expecting that!

That South Americans video had already been released a few months ago (I remember watching it), so it was just recycled for this.

Will wait till the end of the window. No chance he's our only fullback signing. You people shouldn't scare me.

I am pretty sure we'll be getting at least one more. A left back.

Extremely underwhelming if our ambitions are CL and PL, as they should be, but what do I know? Never seen him play, neither has Porto-fans it seems given he’s almost never played for then.

Will reserve judgment until we’ve seen him play over time, although I think Valencia will be our starter for the entire next season. He is a good player after all.

He'll probably be a backup for Valencia till he takes over from him. If he proved himself fast enough when he gets chances to rest the latter, he may take over from Valencia faster than expected.

I actually think it will be a fight between the two of them from the start, assuming Dalot is good enough.

If we feel we have sufficient experience and consistency within the rest of the side then I can see it being the case. It might depend on who we bring in for the right-wing. If it’s someone like Willian then we can get away with Valencia for another season. If it’s someone like Griezmann or Bale then Dalot could be preferred.

That's my thoughts too. If we get a right wing that can hug the line and attack consistently, I think we can do with Valencia concentrating on the defensive jobs. Dalot will start the season from the bench, then he'll get the odd games in cup or to rest Valencia, that's when he can prove to take over from Valencia quickly this season or not. If he has enough confidence and settle quickly, he can end up playing 20-30 games which gonna be good.

Castles says Mourinho thinks he can bench Valencia pretty quickly. Would be fantastic if he pulls it off.

Doesn't Valencia have one of the strongest bench presses in the squad, only second to Luke Shaw? Pretty impressive if he can bench more than Valencia.

I think Dalot and Willian would form a great partnership on the right side. Both are complete players at their position. Dalot is a good defender who would provide good support for Willian in attack and Willian is a good attacker who would provide good support for Dalot in defense.

Luke Shaw can bench press a good few Big Macs and Big Daddy Meals

The key to a strong bench press is to get power from your lower body, leg drive and strong glutes are essential for maximizing your bench press.
