Jaysus, wasn't expecting a signing tonight!

So wonder what that means for Keane, and if Lindelof if first team partner for Bailly

Wouldn't imagine Keane be joining now. Bailly rojo and Victor will prob be the top 3 and whoever else for backup.

ElChe32

Lindelof and Bailly as our CB's for the next few years. Delighted.

I'd imagine Lindelof is planned as first choice with Bailly - by all accounts we have been after him since the start of the year, pre Rojo turning into a beast

I wonder if Keane was second choice and we had him lined up if Lindelof didn't work out/was too expensive? Or if we are offload Smalling or Jones, he may come into play.

Great to have some business done so early - let's just hope he doesn't get injured against Norway on Tuesday before the medical :eek: :pac:

liverpool can have him,mega signing

Happy to get Lindelof, Zlatan rated him very highly. Bailly and Lindelof the starting two and Rojo third in line.
Wonder if we sometimes play 3-5-2?

Can play at rb as well. Good signing

If Lindelof turns out as good a signing as Bailly, that will be a great bit of business.

Mitch Connor

i'd imagine signing Keane depends on what happens with Jones and Smalling.

I can't imagine Smalling being happy being forth choice behind Bailly, Lindy and Rojo.

I didn't realise Lindy was only 22. Thought he was a bit older...

Mission 1 Sign a CB Complete
Mission 2 CM
Mission 3 CF
Bonus Mission Sign RB

I knew that cause I checked his card on fifa haha.

I'd be happy if we didn't sign another center back now we hang on to Jones or smalling and have the kids as 5th choice.

We will not be singing a right back. We will maybe sign a right sided attacker.

Didn't know that - always handy to have a bit of versatility given out injury record!
One of the reasons I hope we keep Darmian tbh.

yabadabado

I would think Smalling is the one most likely to leave if he isn't gonna be first choice.
Bailly is undoubtedly first choice and I suppose after a bit of bedding in Lindeof will be the other.
Rojo and Jones strike me as lads who may be more willing to be squad members than Smalling for some reason.

Both for 60m too the same Pool were going to pay for Van Dijk, could prove to be an absolute bargain pairing.

Unexpected. Welcome to OT Mr. Lindelöf!

One of the English CB's can skoot off.

Smalling looked awkward,indecisive and poor on the ball again today for England, he just never pushed on from the potential he showed when he joined us.I wouldn't miss him too much if he's sold.

Agreed .

If a good offer came in then I wouldn't be too concerned if he was sold.

I know he (Delaney) can be more miss than hit but it's something I would expect from Jose.

I think he might even be fifth choice now, behind Blind - depending on who the other CB available to partner is.

I think you mean 6th after his great run beside Rojo last year I'd say Jones is ahead of Smalling in any pecking order.

Happy to get the first signing over the line without any fuss. Havnt seen much of him but he is rated highly and Jose has a good eye for a defender.

Just goes to show the difference it makes having a competent manager and negotiation team in place when it comes to transfers.

Not a rapped knuckle in sight.

This would be ideal. At least for those incoming anyway. Can just leave the outgoings behind. Have our actually squad ready for our Tour

After all the links with Benfica players over the years its nice to finally sign one of them

Morata is one I feel is expensive but I fully trust Jose. If he's willing to place so much of his next season upon Morata's shoulders, so be it.

Yeah they have been pushing that Madrid would be holding out for 90m euros until this report.. saying it's agreed at 70m euro now.

Anyone remember them photoshopping the United fans into White jerseys to make it look like they were more followed than United in the states.. gas craic altogether.
