It's probably based on one long raking ball they saw on a youtube highlights video. I've never understood the obsession with 'ball playing centre backs'. If you can't defend or even head a ball it's irrelevant how good your pass completion % is.Ignoring his defensive mistakes, but isn't he supposed to be good with the ball? Where are all those Benfice experts who watched every game?
No arguably about it for me. He's another level of bad. Does absolutely nothing right.Arguably worse than Lovren.
Get rid asap.
€9 million.How much money do you think we'll get for him next summer ?
Jose is Portuguese. He follows their domestic league and has plenty of connections there. Lindelof came from Benfica. Zlatan had nothing to do with it. I doubt he knew who he was (probably still doesn't).Starting to think Jose bought him on Zlatan's recommendation. Yeah, it sounds stupid, but the alternative is that our manager, who is usually good with defenders, actually scouted and paid 30 mil for a guy who's competing with Lovren for the title of worst defender.
And I think he's pretty close to beating Lovren too.

Were you this optimistic about Kleberson and Djemba Djemba?Vidic. Evra.
Believe.
That'll be a bargain.€9 million.
I was too young to care about such, at the time. I'm not really very optimistic about him now. Just trying.Were you this optimistic about Kleberson and Djemba Djemba?
Why do you do that? You know its irrational bullshit but you still do it. Tell me how it is you know better than Jose Mourinho?No arguably about it for me. He's another level of bad. Does absolutely nothing right.

Can't believe this Zlatan thing. Jose just got it wrong this time. It happens anyway.Starting to think Jose bought him on Zlatan's recommendation. Yeah, it sounds stupid, but the alternative is that our manager, who is usually good with defenders, actually scouted and paid 30 mil for a guy who's competing with Lovren for the title of worst defender.

I doubt you were brilliant at the start of your biggest career opportunity. Did some cnut tell you you were shit after 5 days?I was too young to care about such, at the time. I'm not really very optimistic about him now. Just trying.
People just suck. Nobody is allowed to improve. Its instant greatness or feck off.People in this thread are pathetic. Comparing him to Lovren, a player who's been in PL for many years. Lindelof been here for two months and against Benfica last week was one of the better rated players. Shane is just a hater here, look at his posts.
You sure you're replying to the right comment?I doubt you were brilliant at the start of your biggest career opportunity. Did some cnut tell you you were shit after 5 days?
What a load of nonsense. Anyone who gets hired to do a job should at least be competent at doing the basics. He's fecking appalling and doesn't even look like a premier league level defender.I doubt you were brilliant at the start of your biggest career opportunity.

Fair play. This transfer looks like another Obertan or Bebe.I was too young to care about such, at the time. I'm not really very optimistic about him now. Just trying.
Given how Mou threw Mkhi down a well for three months last season, I'm hoping Rojo etc coming back will see him appearing less.I fear Jose will hang to to him as well as he is his signing
Somebody on Redcafe apparentlyWho scouted this guy
Mourinho is human. He makes mistakes and it's fine to point them out rather than put together some tin hat theory.Starting to think Jose bought him on Zlatan's recommendation.

You cant compete with genius input like this.What a load of nonsense. Anyone who gets hired to do a job should at least be competent at doing the basics. He's fecking appalling and doesn't even look like a premier league level defender.
Obertan and Bebe? Really? Jesus...Fair play. This transfer looks like another Obertan or Bebe.
Given how Mou threw Mkhi down a wall for three months last season, I'm hoping Rojo etc coming back will see him appearing less.
Good shout in fairness. At the moment I couldn't tell you if Lindelof is better than Lovren. Wouldn't look out of place next to Matip.The new Eliaquim Mangala.
Oh really? You don't think Jose will sell him after 5 months? I'm shocked!I fear Jose will hang on to to him as well as he is his signing
I was not really being serious about the Zlatan theory. Just doomsday humor to highlight how weird this signing is.Mourinho is human. He makes mistakes and it's fine to point them out rather than put together some tin hat theory.
But then again I'm hesitant to call a bloke who has started a handful of games a mistake........
Give the lad some breathing space.
