Camp as a row of tents. I like the cut of his jib.

Well Mourinho claims he is the best fullback in his age bracket.
What? Translation, pretty please.
God even if he turns out to be rubbish I could stare at his eyes all day 
Also already talks like a pure winner at his age.

Interesting signing, I imagine he'll spend a season as Valencia's cover and get games in the cups and the weeks when the games stack up, very promising prospect.
Will be interesting to see how he fairs. Hopefully better than Shaw has.
Hope he has a good pre-season.
Seriously want him to be the type that breaks into the first eleven within a couple of the months of the season.

Apparently he's really good with offside traps.
@Mr Pigeon, what do you reckon? Best Portuguese trapper since Rivaldo?

He will play a lot the coming season.
Welcome young man , hope we will see Da-lot from you ..
Never seen the kid play, but this is the kind of signing that gets me excited. His versatility in being able to play on either side is a bonus.
The magic of Anderson.
Means he's slightly feminine and has a pretty face
Never heard of him before, but feels like very exciting signing. Hope he will turn out great
Let's just hope we won't lose our best player to madrid in a couple of years thenThe amount of similarity between Summers of 2007 and 2018
We are winning the PL & CL double next season guysHopefully we will escape the Portsmouth at home though
He seems gay, therefore Pogue likes him.
I wouldn't have thought Dalot is a typical Mourinho signing. He is very young and inexperienced. Presumably other more experienced names were considered?
Doesn't have his head in the game. Get rid
Best full back of his generation and a six year contract, sounds to me like the son of Luke Shaw and David Moyes .... What could possibly go wrong!
Hope he gets enough games to add to his experience. If the manager says that he is 'the best young full-back in Europe', he must have some faith in the youngster. All the very best to Dalot.
He is going to be the best RB in the world after few years judging from his Youtube compilation. On serious note i hope he gets to play regularly instead of Valencia or they both sharing similar amount of playing time

People still dabbing? I thought we had moved on from that.
Dalot replaces Darmian.
He's just as versatile and unless he proves to be ready for the first team he'll play games when Valencia needs a rest. Hopefully, with a new signing on the right, Valencia can improve on his attacking and crossing deficiencies. Surprisingly for a player who's spent most of his career as a winger he has a tendency to put the brakes on in an attacking position and passes back. Giving the opposition defence time to organise.
To be fair, he's been a revelation in defence.

I think Valencia has lost a bit of his explosiveness due to his age. It’s a bit more difficult for him these days to find that extra inch to create better space for a cross. I dont think crossing techique is any different tbh.
If he is the intended RB, then we will see him at least 20 games next season. Valencia was being used 1 game a week last season and he is not going to get better. Don't put too much expectation although we have plenty of depression coming from Shaw, Darmian and Blind on the side.
Oh my
Last time we won the CL he was 9 years old. He's a kid - doing what kids do lol
When haters say Mourinho doesn’t sign young players.
Yeah...came to post this
As long as the Dynamic Dab Duo (Lingard and Pogba) is still at the club, dab nation lives on.
Stop Wumming
Well what else did you expect him to say, this kid comes from his old club, has played 6 games for the first team and nobody has heard of him and quite rightly so. I just hope Jose shows this chappy more faith and patience and doesn't end up treating him like Shaw, Martial, Lindelof, Mihki and even Bailly the last so many months. Strange enough of the players I have mentioned only Shaw and Martial aren't his own signings so it also speaks volumes about Jose and the faith he shows in his own signings.
If I can give this boy some good advice he better learn to play the very safe game/passes(no risk) resulting in playing the ball side ways and backwards like McTominay otherwise he too will be the ultimate bench warmer.
Please don't follow the example of our other two dabbing donkeys.
Yeah, it’s all about the floss now you know.
I’ve never seen him actually play (just highlight etc.) but In my opinion the time for this signing is just perfect. As Valencia is getting older the crossing point of Dalot being starting 11 material and Valencia falling out of favor will probably be around the same time.
And even if he isn’t replacing Valencia soon – he will be a more reliable option on the left hand side than Young of Shaw (or at least I feel that way).
I’m pretty excited about the signing but not sure what the outcome will be.
Welcome Diogo!

They have honey badgers in Portugal? Wow I did not know this, my favourite animal, if I win the lottery I’m gonna buy one, maybe even two.
Will he be a backup to Valencia this season or loaned out?
You're insufferable. Plenty of people with far more knowledge of the game than you and I have heard of him, hence why the likes of Barcelona and Bayern were considering making offers.
Really hope he will kick-it on here. Will need some time + trust but if he proves his worth we could have sorted a crucial position for a long time!
Anyways, welcome Diogo!

Was going to give an actual response but you dont even deserve one. I’d rather keep the negativity out of this thread.
Reminds me of Denis Irwin. He looks good on the ball and has a good cross on him (purely based on watching multiple youtube videos).
If he can adjust to the tempo of the game in PL and if he's brave enough with the physical nature of the game, he will make it. Wishing him the best.
