He didn't but he certainly has a type that he likes.He didn't sign the last two but sure

People were saying the same about Aurier last year. He went on to show an exceptional capacity for conceding penalties and not a lot else. The obsession with crosses on here is just weird. How many full backs in this league are great crossers?Doesn't matter, one mistake and he is on the bench. Valencia, on the other hand, will still play every game and offer no crossing abilities.
(I am actually surprised Lukaku got as many goals as he did with the lack of quality crosses into the box.)
Does he want to take the risk and not play until on occasions, or go to a club of the likes of Tottenham where he can be a first-team regular?
He does have potential as he looks like a solid defender and creative as an attacker. Only 19 years old too.
I'm not necessarily critical to this signing but to suggest it's a low risk because of the low fee is a bit simplistic. We were sat watching our main rival get both Walker and Mendy last summer while we didn't strengthen the full back area at all, presumably because we had 'low risk' quantity that we didn't manage to offload (Darmian, Blind).You’re a fun positive chap and I wish more people were like you.
Can cross with left foot too ? Noyce.
Here’s Dalot setting up 2 goals in league game earlier this year
Not saying that this is going to turn out similarly, but we read that Madrid were interested just before we signed Bebehttps://www.telegraph.co.uk/footbal...rst-summer-signing-manchester-united-trigger/
Can't believe any United supporter can be upset about this.
Thanks for the info, his signing seems imminent so I hope he does well for us!Everyone knew about him even before he started playing for Porto's first team. He'd played in the B team and been very good in a few tournaments for the youth teams.
Da-lo
19 is the new 29The dude is on the wrong side of 19 though. We should only be interested in young talents.
Legit didn't know he existed but hope it ends up well obviously

Why not? I think you'll struggle to find a more consistent right back that is available to buy in world football at present. He had a good season, the fullback positions imo have been scapegoated because of our less than stellar attacking performances as a whole. Young was good too.I don't understand this transfer. If he's coming to be an understudy for Valencia then why not just recall TFM? What does this mean for him then? Probably the club will see him as a DM. Otherwise it doesn't make sense. If he's coming then it has to be to replace Valencia. We can't go another season with him as first choice.
Yea ok fair enough but I didn't mean that post as a Mourinho slate. This is just one of the main reasons why I don't think this a good signing for us and we need to go for a more established player. We really can not go into next season with Valencia as our main rightback and there is a good chance of that happening under Mourinho if the alternative is a 19 year old kid, talented as he may be.I'm just going to borrow a post from the first page of this thread:
Probably Da-lodgeHow does one pronounce his name ? Da-lo or Da-lot ?
I did some digging and just found a long video of Dalot, can you please post it in the Dalot thread as a)daily limit reached and b)can't put videos on here

They're quickly firing up Football Manager then.SSN say they'll be doing a player profile on him at 8pm
He popped up on both flanks during that clip. Which is his strongest position or is he equally adept on both sides?Tweet

Pavard is a centre backI haven't seen him play.
Is he better than other young right backs like Odriozola or Pavard?
I agree with you. We have many understudy players. This window i wanted proven quality. Not another lindelof.If we are not signing a RB to improve on Tony, then I'm not interested. Feck "understudy'.
