The unknown yet highly rated young signings are always exciting. I'd love us yo develop him into one of the best right backs in the world and in doing so become a club legend.

Drunk on his own salty tears. I’m assuming he’s a Porto fan. @broccoli

@Ban are we doing the transfer business quick enough or still too slow?

They obviously watch all the Portuguese football they can and know their stuff...
No no no that's just awful.
I’ve heard a lot.
Probably not big enough names
Anyway, a good CM and an exciting RB before the WC is decent business! I’m hopeful about a top LB and RW + maybe a quality CB.
Left back or right back ? Left footed or right footed ?

Exciting signing. As I mentioned before, this is a proper Manchester United singing. These are the ones I get excited for, the high potential young players that we can develop. And to all those who are concerned we didn't buy a first choice right-back to replace Valencia, there's no reason that Dalot can't take his place by the end of the season. If he's good enough, he'll play.
No idea. Never seen the lad play. Portuguese posters say he has a great cross on him though.
You have a point but never say never. When Varane joined Real Madrid under Jose, no one gave him a chance to be a regular. He was just about 18 and had played just about 23 games for Lens, mainly because the team had some serious injuries and he was not a starter in some of those games. Pepe already had his locked down so there was no way the young French player was going to get a chance especially with Jose in charge. So people thought. But Varane surprisingly got game after game and that marked the beginning of the end for Pepe at Madrid.
If this kid takes the chances he gets, don't be surprised if he replaces Valencia sooner than expected.
Edit: Damn! Forgot to insert the Gal Gadot quote! Ah, so that’s why we’ve now got a women’s team!
Will be a WONDERful addition.
Right footed RB, but he can play at LB too.
Just don't. I have been hurt before
They bring it upon themselves don't they...why so insecure.Liverpool already comparing Dalot to Trent Alexander Arnold
Look at his range! Passion, Happiness, Coolness, Cheekiness. I'm on board.
Yes I am and we are used to our best players leaving to bigger contracts so it's hard to get emotionally attached to any player here.
The problem with his departure for most Porto fans was the way he and his representatives behaved, especially after numerous circunstances where he showed profound love for the club. Players leaving is a part of football but when you kiss the badge and bring your hand to the crest you gain a new responsability to the club and its supporters. Something that Dalot learned the worst way.
No hard feelings, just wished he did things differently but at least he came to a genuinely big club.
Mourinho has never hesitated to give young defenders a chance throughout his career. Santon, Varane, Zouma etc. Here already signed Bailly, Lindelof and now Dalot. But he doesn't have the same faith in young attackers and this is why some people get frustrated. Always wants experienced in attack and that's evident with the links to Arnautovic and Willian. I wouldn't say he's developed Lukaku because he was already a proven striker in the PL.Double D
‘Jose only signs old players’ - signs 25 year old and 19 year old in the last two days.
If he turns out to be as good as advertised this will be brilliant business. Love his versatility.
How is his english?
Welcome Dalot. Im just surprised that in this market we've managed to buy a player for under 20m.
Good business. There is definitely potential. And even if it doesn't work out, still okay, no big financial loss. I prefer balance of high value signings and high potential signings. Shows the club is moving towards right direction. Now one CB and one RW to go. On top of that we get Veratti then better. Then if we sell Marial and buy griezmann will be cherry on top.
Will fit right in
Jose only signs old players.
Great signing. Although I give him 2 games before the Caf Einsteins are declaring him a waste of money.
Especially a young one.
Just watched his first interview and there's just something about him that already makes me like this kid. Speaks good english and looks unfazed and comfortable.
Two very pleasing signings in Fred and Dalot. Two key areas addressed (Assuming Dalot will play a lot).
Now onto Toby, Sandro and Willian threads

He will make it here easily, i have no doubt he will be a top fullback for us. Everything i have read and seen so far tells me the kid will be a top player if he can stay fit.
We’ve signed a lot?
2 isn’t many!

Welcome Diogo!
He's 30 in 11 years. Best years of your life are 16-18.
Why don't the site admins add auto censoring of "a lot" > "Dalot" and be done with it and make things Dalot easier for people too.
Never heard of the lad before a few weeks ago. But I’m always happy to put out trust in talented young players, it’s what our club is built on and hope he will be a success.
@whatwha been in here to try and crap all over this yet?
Who the feck is this guy?
He has only payed a handful of first team games, so very early to suggest he's the great signing and good value that some are alluding to!
