Chippy tits?
Alex Telles signs for Manchester United
- Thread starter RonaldoVII
- Start date
I haven't seen much of him in action as dont follow other leagues, what is he like? Is he any good? Baseline compared to what we have now? What's his style of play like? Is he likely to get assists?
Hopefully that means Williams can be tried as right back where a lot of people would rather see him

Welcome Alex. Never watched him play but I can see his numbers from Portugal and hope he can somewhat repeat that here. My biggest hope is that he can be a very able competitor to Shaw who I like but we needed someone else and it would be great if Alex was that.
Can he play centre half?
Or hopefully Left Back on the bench
Someone who can cross a ball, we could do with that typa sorcery.
Must not have televisions in Portugal...
Best of luck to him.

After the individual central defender performances so far you'd think we'd be looking to decrease the amount of them no the field, not add more.
He's so good there's three threads announcing his signing.
a.k.a. Luke Shaw
Another LB! Finally!!! 
Him and Maguire are building a special relationship in the middle, you might be on to something.
Shaw
Ahh ok.
Good luck for him here. Hopefully he makes the left flank his own and provides us with what we severely lack offensively there. Optimistic about him.
Very pleased with this signing. Glad we got this over the line eventually.
Glad we got him. I'm really surprised city didn't go after him. I think he'd be exactly the type of fullback they'd want.
Happy Signing Day
10 minutes of Telles crossing to farmers to those who are interested
Personally think this is a great signing, adds another dimension to our predictable attack.

Potentially good signing. We really need(ed) a CB and RW too.
Good signing completely deprived of any excitement thanks to the shit show from us this window, s h a m b l e s

Straight into the first team please!!!
Left back is not our biggest issue, but seems a sensible transfer. Unusually for us this week it doesn't even stink of desperation

Good luck to the lad. No expectations of him, coming into this current predicament
I know people will moan, but he'll be out first choice LB in a few months. I expect a great attacking asset
Welcome Alex, hope you have great days at United.
I think we'll see more 3-5-2
Based on what? He's a left back not a wing back.
I think it refers to fat chest from eating at the chippy too much.
he’s been on penalties and free kicks in Portugal. Stats are majorly padded by set pieces. He’s better than shaw going forward but shaw is a better defender. I’m not 100% sold on this but it’s a low price and could turn out to be smart business as long as one of them is always playing well.
If he’d have joined 3 weeks ago people would’ve been so excited, but understandably everyone (myself included) is just so negative right now 
I think he’ll be a massive help attacking wise. Shaw’s attacking play is useless. He probably won’t be much worse, if at all, defensively too.

Let's wait and see how Ole uses him.
That’s why 3-5-2 with chippy tits at LCB makes sense.
Couldn't this be part of a plan of establishing 3-5-2 more regularly as our formation, with Shaw as LCB. He's probably more suited to that role anyway (his weekend antics notwithstanding)
Hope he can give Shaw a run for his money.
Any reports on wages?

Nice price this & if he can cross a ball then he's doing something I haven't seen from a full back since Denis Irwin days. Good luck lad.
Believe we are paying him to play for us, yes.
Any drooling emoticons so far?
