He is very good in a lot of what he does though, people don't realise how often he shackles good opposition players. Ask any left winger and tell them that Valencia is not a good player and they'd laugh in your face. If we could sign a top class RW and have Valencia behind him we are sorted for next season at least.

Sounds good!
Never heard of him, but after reading through this short thread, I’m all for him.
Excited!

Because there aren't any available.
The best established player we can buy is Sidibe who has many weaknesses to his game like poor first touch and is defensively suspect.
If Jose and the scouts think this guy can be a very good defender, then why not.
Personally as @roonster09 said, love theses kind of transfers, players who very few people have seen. The suspense, the expectations, the mystery ... It's like going on a blind date
Or get him on homes under the hammer.
Never heard of this kid obviously but im hoping were going to sign him and loan him back for a year. It could harm his development if he has a set back.

All for buying young talent to mould for the future. Unlike others I’m more concerned with LB this season.
Who knows - maybe this guy can be our starter. Look at Trent A-A.

Cheers for that. Hopefully this is one time baldy is right
Also while we are at Porto, can we also buy their LB? That guy is gonna be a very good player.
If Sandro decides to renew with Juve and if Tierney decides to stay, I'll be very happy if we get Alex Telles

That's good to hear. I hadn't been overly impressed with any of the other right backs that had been mentioned as possible transfers. This would be a sensible option to phase out Tony V, especially if we buy a more proven LB that would allow Young to deputize more on the right as well.
At that price and with what's being said in this thread, this looks like a good punt that could pay off big.
It'd be great to get a quality young player at a good price who goes on to star for us.

So he’s a 19 year old right back who has just made his debut in February, but has actually played most of his football at senior level at LB?
I’m sure he’s class and all, but we need guaranteed starters at either fullback position.

Promising player but won't Porto be unwilling to sell ? Since they've already sold Perreira to Leicester City
Also, isn't he injured??

I agree with this. I get the criticism and frustration with him but he’s not as bad as made out. His physical tools are elite - just a shame he never progressed his attacking skills.
Teams like Chelsea, Manchester city or even Liverpool would not want Valencia as their RB.
He looks well built for a 19 year old, these are the type of signings Real Madrid and Barca routinely make.
Dalot of BS goes round at this time of year. I'll believe it when I see it.
Coentrao
Valencia is capable of playing for any of those clubs.
He is as bad as made out. and his attacking skills have just declined massively, he used to be a lot better, that part of his game is just totally knackered at this point.
Castles says we have a deal in Principle with Porto. How can that be when they just sold Pereira?
The best LB (and fullback) United had in the past 30 years was actually a RB.
Utter bollocks. He'd get nowhere near any of their starting line-ups.
He's walk into this Liverpool side. Unless you think fecking Arnold is ahead of him?
Clyne even?
According to Whoscored, he has played just 498 minutes this season.
Is he ready to start for United?

I think Valencia will still be our no 1 RB next season. Dalot will act as cover then step up as first teamer the year after with TFM as cover.
Was class in fm17. Easily became one of the best wing backs in the game. I for one would be delighted if we can sign him. Get it done Woody!
Valencia is terrible going forward but if we get a right winger this summer that won't matter nearly as much. Assuming we do get a right winger I think this profile of player would be good for us. A promising youngster to slowly take over the starting position from Valencia without the pressure to immediately do so sounds like it could work out very well for us.
Then we might as well not bother.
All for it .. Better get someone in that is a starter. .
Valencia is leaving at end of the next season, we don't offer contract extension for 32+ years. Diogo Dalot will be understudy to Valencia and our new right fullback if we buy this summer.
It's almost like 100 point champions Man city haven't played Fabian Delph LB all season.
Filthy lucre.
What kind of shitty logic is this?
What type of player is he? Strengths/weaknesses etc.
hes nowhere near to replace Valencia, potentially maybe a good palyer but no chance he would start next season, sounds more like sunderland singing, only to move to everton, later in his career.
Nah he’s really not. His attacking skills haven’t declined massively at all - he is what he is in that department. When his physical skills deteriorate he’s then fecked. Last year starting for us I think.
He really isn’t helped by not having a tidy RW too. Think that will help massively.
Sign him and send him out on loan, until Mourinho's off?
I think people underestimate the fact that Valencia actually plays according to instruction.
Ashley Young and him at RB, Valencia filling in.
New left back and Shaw as backup, young filling in.

God forbit he is connected to Liverpool tomorrow, he will be world class, and Ed and Jose bastards who only wants galacticos on huge wages.
