Underwhelming signing if this happens.

What you mean if? The club already announced it has agreed a fee with Ajax, subject a medical
This is a great signing.
Good utility player but not sure if he is good enough to play week in week out as a defender or midfielder, even once he is signed we need another cm and cb
I don't keep up with transfer news. So okay, correction, underwhelming signing.
I concur.
You don't win anything with width. Oh, wait...
This is totally a signing where the fee is dictating how people feel about it in my opinion... if we were picking him up for £5mil, a lot more people would be over the moon.
For what it's worth, I think it's a grand signing and he'll instantly improve our squad

How's it underwhelming? He's instantly better than anyone we have for the role. Versatile and hasnt cost a bomb. Unless you expected us to get a Martinez out of the blue, its a very good signing.
I'm not sure he has the pace of Hargreaves, who did play on the wings when necessary. Definitely seems as confident on the ball, with an eye for a pass with a great workrate and defensive intelligence.
He improves our 1st 11, considerably too. People just love a moan.
Underwhelming cause him and people like him want a big name..
Wow - no Blind and Ajax lose to Groningen. Perhaps he's underestimated by some on here?
Of all our signings this summer the Blind fee is probably the one where we're NOT paying a lot over the odds FFS!
A player who can play in three positions where we need a signing and also excels in the most precarious one to the point of coming from a POTY season in Holland, for a big club like Ajax. £13 million? Fair enough I think. This is not 2002.
Rojo for £16 million or Di Maria for £59 or Shaw for £27 or what it was could be recently argued to be overpriced. This I think not.

apparently he has done his medical, he is in Manchester too. Dont know why they dont announce it, but surely just a matter of time. In the evening or tomorrow at the latest.
It's done, just stuff like the medical and contracts to sign before we announce him as a United player. No real rush given we don't play for a while.
The class of 92 really seem to be a clueless bunch when it comes to talking about tactics or positions. At this rate I would say Becks is the least annoying (and even he talks some proper shite, as much as I love him)
Aye, I think the Blind fee is perfectly fine.
Though weirdly, I'm not half as arsed how much we buy players for then I am for how much we sell them for...

They lose one game, doesn't really mean anything. They'll have his replacement in their youth academy somewhere.
Also, why would anyone be against this? Last time we bought the son of a Dutch legend it went fantastically well...
Oh, Jordi.
It's just his opinion though and I think his reasons are very valid. His doubt about Mata, for example, are looking entirely justified right now.
Yep, a lot of those meanings are valid. But some won't be, and he'll hold onto them because of his background and experience of doing things.
Scholes, for instance, looks to be viewing every change to the formation or style of play as something alien and inferior.

We sure like delaying signing announcements for some reason.
We never do that on weekends, stock exchange and shit...
Is he in Hiddinks Dutch squad?
Yes he is
Carrick's more of a Alonso at Spurs, which is not what I see Blind capable of. Like some also mentioned, Blind is more Hargreaves.
At WC, Blind played as a CM/DM in some games, although not starting as that. I watched all the Netherlands games, and I thought that there wasn't a single player in their defence and central/defensive midfield that impressed me individually to have him at United. That's including Blind.
But I also aware that he's Eredivisie player of the year, and other than youtube compilations, I haven't watched him in Ajax shirt. Also WC isn't a definitive way to judge player.
This is a fantastic signing, get in!
Gary Neville is very "English" in his approach to football but Neville does seem more open to Van Gaal's ideas. Scholes is becoming irritating rather quickly. Let's not forget how poor we were when Giggs was interim manager and Scholes was part of Giggs' advisory team. The problem is not with the manager introducing a new philosophy; the problem is with the lack of cohesion in the squad and the lack of quality in some areas. This summer has gone a long way to addressing those deficiencies but we're only 3 games into the season for goodness sake. Give Van Gaal a few months on the training pitch with the players to sort it out. Nobody can come in and do a better job of resurrecting United, anyway.
It seems like Scholes has less patience than the fans and that makes for one annoying pundit.
Does stock exchange even work on Labour Day? This is a moot point if any. Either way, it is stupid to wait for the week to make a signing public; the club should have no issue in stealing the spotlight like an asshole.
I wholeheartedly agree.
This must be the longest medical in history.
For that Price he seems to be a good Addition. Didn`t Overmars state some days ago that any interested Clubs would have to pay big Money for him?
She is SOOOO DAYYYUUMMMNNNN HOTTTT! Lucky bastad! I would marry her now! That is what I call 10 HOT!
Yeah he is smoking hot!!
