Very good. He can cross and beat a man. First 11 for sure.
He's very strong on the offensive end and slightly weak on the defensive one. It exploits his best qualities and puts him further up the field whilst minimising his weaknesses.Based on what? He's a left back not a wing back.
Believe we are paying him to play for us, yes.
He's not slightly weak defensively at all though. It's a myth people seem to have decided on because he's good at attacking.He's very strong on the offensive end and slightly weak on the defensive one.

i would have preferred Nuno Mendez from sporting but probably a year too early for him and you know shaw will be out for at least 1/3 of this season like alwaysThat’s why 3-5-2 with chippy tits at LCB makes sense.
Literally every Porto fan I've courted for opinions the last week or so have all stated that he's weakest/weaker on defence.He's not slightly weak defensively at all though. It's a myth people seem to have decided on because he's good at attacking.
Not the biggest but position we needed to add players. Shaw's injury record is poor, we have williams as back up, we needed left footed LB who can whip a good cross. Apparently last time Shaw scored or assisted was around 16 months ago in PL. We need FBs with good delivery to unlock defenses. At least Telles will be one more threat, can create and score goals.Left back is not our biggest issue, but seems a sensible transfer. Unusually for us this week it doesn't even stink out desperation
Weaker on defence than attack =/= weak defensively.Literally every Porto fan I've courted for opinions the last week or so have all stated that he's weakest/weaker on defence.
Porto fans.
No, they said that his weakness is in defence. Not weak relative to attack.Weaker on defence than attack =/= weak defensively.
Not his biggest fan but wish the lad's career a speedy recovery
You literally said weaker on defence, hence why I said it.No, they said that his weakness is in defence. Not weak relative to attack.
Hey, look man, I trust the numerous opinions of fans that watch his every game.
“To join a club with the prestige of Manchester United is a huge honour. You have to work hard to get to this moment in your career and now I am coming to this club, I can promise that I will give everything in my heart to be a success here.]
I won many trophies at FC Porto and I want to continue that at United. The manager has a clear plan and direction for this team and I can’t wait to pull on the famous shirt.”
Alex is twice the player Shaw is or was (pre injury)I still say Shaw is our No.1 LB, with Telles as our back up, bench option.
Let's wait and see how Ole uses him.
Terrific, so Ole's told the new guy what the plan is but no bugger else?!18:19
