This is harsh. He did his best whenever he played. He's not a good player but I will never accuse of not putting in efforts.

yes, it was harsh, and certainly the club has been at fault with keeping him around so long.
and leach was the wrong word. He’s been an astonishing waste of money though.
Thanks. This is a great example of how the mind can play tricks on you — in this case, me.Nah, it was a normal back four. He came into the team at the end of October and then was first choice until mid April (so it was almost 6 months). He started that run partnering Jones and then, once Jones inevitably got injured, Bailly came in for the final month or two. Rojo really should have been sent off twice for bad tackles but otherwise he was very good throughout that period. In fact just looking at the stats for the 17 league games that he started in the central defence we never lost a single match and only conceded 9 goals (never more than 1 goal in a game).
It lasted until the Europa quarter final when he and Zlatan both ruptured their cruciate ligament in the same game and were out for 8 months. Ever since then he's been devastated by injury and fairly poor form on the rare occasion he has played. It sucks and I do sometimes wonder whether he could have been a success if it weren't for that cruciate, but I guess he was fairly injury prone even before then.
Most of his time here has been a waste but I'll remember those 6 months fondly.
LVG should learn to keep his mouth shut about Utd. 7 years on and we are still getting rid of the stench filled locker room he provided us with. Never liked the guy and us letting Sporting get Nani as a part of that deal makes it one of the worst ones LVG did and there are many terrible to pick from.
Enjoy your time at Boca.

He played a big part in our EL run in 16/17. He was decent under Mourinho that season.
His partnership with Phil Jones around the winter period saved that season.
Had he gone yet? I really wouldn’t be surprised if he’s on our books tomorrow.
Well the Argentinian window doesn't close for another few weeks so there's no rush to get it done today.
cheers. Hopefully we can move Romero on as well.
I hate when posters come up with stupid statements like players has never been good enough, when they are simply out with injury. Being out with a serious injury counts as being shite? Maybe shite player to have because he´s not depandable, surely move him on when possible but let´s not discredit him for that.
Rojo looked like a top CB in that half season before he did his ACL. Longterm he´s not been success MAINLY due to injuries, if he and Jones stayed fit, they could be decent players for us, certainly at least on the level of say Wes Brown - didn´t happen let´s move on.

Is this guy still here? He’s been close to joining Boca Juniors for what seems like weeks now. 
he’s been injury prone, but not for 6 years!
more than enough games to see he was never good enough. But most importantly he was left footed, nothing else seemed to matter. Bloody LVG.
Is he still here?
How long does it take to write the guy a cheque?

we seriously need to take a look at our renewal policy, I'm still in disbelief we actually offered Fosu-Mensah a new contract.I've just read that he's done his medical with Boca and will be announced today, but I don't know if the source is reliable.
Was good for a brief period. Far too rash
I like him. He ultimately wasn’t good enough but he clearly enjoyed his time here. Used to enjoy the #Rojo is Red tags. He also did some mad things on the pitch, from two footed challenges to 50 yard strikes and rabonas, never a dull moment!
He wasn´t good enough for LB where he was deployed quite often but at CB he wasn´t worse than Jonny Evans/Wes Brown/Phil Jones who had some okay careers here. He literally spend half his time with us on a treatment table, so even for that reason it´s hard to get going for the player. The only run of games hae had at CB he looked one of the best at his position. It ended with him doing his ACL unfortunately. I am happy he´s moved on but some overreactions

I quite liked the guy, more so because it’s nice to have a bit of a mad bastard in the team than his contribution to the team in recent years
Bruno is a different kind of shithouse, more clever, sneaky, not the unfiltered entertainment of a Keane, Zlatan, Staam.

Best of luck to him. Quite liked him when he first came to the club but has been out of favour for a long time since and it’s about time he left.
Thanks for nothing ya crazy Cnut
Likeable but brought absolutely nothing to the table at any period during his stay here.
Just realised he’s one of the last from LVG’s atrocious (properly woeful) recruitment. Put us further back than Moyes that idiot.

Always liked Rojo. Total nutter.
Awful player. Total crock as well. Finally we've got rid.
Best of luck to him.
The most memorable thing about his time at United was when he did two red card-worthy challenges in consecutive games, and got away with both of them.

How much wages was he on? 80K per week? Glad we got rid of that
Crazy mad CB. Oh how I would have loved for one of his long shots to have hit the back of the net.
Good luck to him!
Good luck to him!
His partnership with Jones was at one point almost too good to be true, so it turned out. Forever our bare chested marauder.
No idea why some people seem to hate him so much, he was an ok transfer and cost very little..Mou phased him out and all Ole has had to do is let him sit in Buenos Aires, don't think he's caused that much bother

Still can't believe this guy was here for 7 years...7 freaking years of mediocrity.
An undisclosed fee. What do you reckon we got? I will kick it off;

Wasted 7 of his prime years here but made an absolute fortune out of United and now semi retiring back in Argentina
Fish and chips with Coca Cola.
Good riddance.
Rojo was good until 2017. A serious injury and manageric turmoil didn't help him. He is, or at least was, a good player. An Argentinian national with 60 caps is never a shit player.
Shite injury record. Shite mentality. Shite discipline.
Don't get the love some have, he was a dreadful purchase symptomatic of the circus we were in the immediate post-Fergie years.
Oh and Argentina's defence is dreadful.
