Honestly that was being reported weeks ago. Nothing story.
IF United are interested in him, they may have played this one very cleverly.
Not sure we should be after any CB that Arsenal fancy. Their track record recently has been shocking.
I don’t think we’re interested at all, really. Or if we are - interest was minimal. I think it’s clearly between Napoli and Arsenal.
Sign. Just sign players feck it.
looks like this might be on, chaps.
Or you wait it out to see what valuation a club is willing to accept for a player, once that is established and it is a price you are happy to pay, join the party late on and turn the players head whilst being able to offer him more (CL football in this instance)
Our results tell a different story. Ole's cautious approach with 3 at the back and 2 fullbacks on the sides was successful, including beating City 3 times
Obviously if we had a more attacking option for leftback, or Fred was used there, then it does give us more attacking options. Dalot is fine for an attacking option at RWB
All great if you know you're the biggest club that will be interested. But if another club comes in thats doing better than we are, then they're the ones that can offer more - unless its about money

We didn’t really get much from our wing-backs tbf.
We need something now with our skipper banged up abroad.
Doubt we are even remotely interested. Why is our name keep popping up?
I'm reading this as the player is delaying his decision in the hope United put in an offer so he can join us.
Agree with all except the bolded. Based on his performances it is clear that every member of the squad, including the goalkeepers, would make a better RWB than Dalot. If he stays at the club beyond this window I hope it is as kit man.
He's our best crosser from the right and he can beat a man dribbling with pace. Not great defensively but the things you actually want from an attacking player down the side he does well
Sounds like that but you get the impression we aren't that interested at allSo based on these, he doesn't want Arsenal as his first choice.
I mean the fact that he's still waiting while we are doing nothing about it probably very likely.
Sorry but he is an abysmal crosser, whenever he has played in an advanced position he has repeatedly blasted crosses straight out for goal kicks. He makes AWB look like prime Beckham in the crossing department.
It’s clear as day.
Sounds like this lad is holding out for us. Arsenal is still a great move for him I’d just sign the contract rather than waiting 70-80 working days for Woodward to come up with the money.

Is this guy actually any good?
Nobody knows mate but he should be better than Lindelof at actual defending
He's no better than Bailly so I don't see the point.
It's just agent noise anyway, we aren't really interested.

Yeah thats not true. He's been inconsistent but these are the main things he's done well with and hes been a threat from the right using them
French football correspondent on radio reckoned he was. Had a lot of complimentary things to say about him. Not least his great attitude allied to his football ability.
Really willing to learn and improve too.
I was impressed by the assessment
He most certainly has not but clearly we are seeing different things when we watch him. I can't see him being a part of the future here, the only slight chance is if he goes out on loan to a smaller club for a season where he can work on his fundamentals and takes a great leap forward but he would definitely surprise me if he pulled it off.
That’s good to know, any other “facts” you’d like to share?
Can he stay fit for a week and not be a walking red card? Bailly is a good player apart from that.
If Arsenal are seriously pushing to sign a centreback, for the last decade or more that has always been a really good indication that they're not a good centreback.
Gazillionth time our name has been used as leverage by player agents, selling clubs, and sensationalist press.
Some will never learn...

That was a pretty useless video in showing how good Dalot is.
His positioning for a defender is pretty bad. His attacking was decent in his first few games then he started forgetting about his role and tried to become like Ronaldo by coming infield and shot at every chance. That's how I remember in his last few games. He would not become a good player for a club like United. He lacks a lot of things.
All I read here is that he is not as good as our already fairly average back line haha
He's good at the things you'd want from a player playing wingback with 3 CBs behind him and when your focus is to attack. Pace, can get past his man and put a good ball into the box.
He's bad at being at being a fullback because his defending is weak.
27 million?
Arsenal come in and get him while we haven't signed one soul yet!

It's the end of the world as we know it.
