Victor Lindelöf

[Cliftonville Villlain]

Maybe Monchi knew what he was doing. Shades of David Geddis about this one.

"Shades of David Geddis" sounds very League of Gentlemen to me.

Or a Half-Man Half-Biscuit album track.

He’s obviously a good player. He’s not as good as Pau, but he’s doing an able job of filling in for what is not his natural side of defence.

[andyh]

I think he has been excellent. He has adjusted to the ‘Unai way’ without any issues and his integration into the squad and team has been seamless.
He is able to carry the ball out of defence and up the pitch, he did it a couple of times against Chelsea to great effect.
He’ a good defender, and seems to have formed a very good understanding with Konsa very quickly. They play well together.

Personally, I don’t think there is much to choose between Lindelof and Torres really.

[rob_bridge]

Doing a great job. Helped both left backs look more solid. Not as good as Pau but cracking performances last 3

[eamonn]

He's no Clément 00Lenglet but he has some head of hair.

I tend to agree, the only issue is that he is right footed playing on the left but has managed a few decent passes with his left.
He has done really well.

Our defence and keeper were excellent, that first half they had to endure huge pressure, Cash and Maatsen had two trick opponents. It was a tough half and they stood firm.

I’m not sure the goal would have counted in a European Cup game. Emi was pushed, swung and stood on. Other than him literally throwing players to the floor, I’m not sure what else he could have done.

[Steve67]

Been a surprise signing and hasn't really put a foot wrong.

[brontebilly]

He's a lot physically stronger than I thought. That was a common complaint at Man United, that he was easily bullied. Looks a decent centre half really, especially given he is playing on the wrong side. Quick bringing ball out of the back too.

Let's be honest, some people simply lose their shit, their good sense and what remained of their dignity at the prospect of us signing a Man Utd 'reject', despite most of their players being really quite good.

A Creme Brulee classic

Yep. Happened three times in less than 12 months. Twice they were wrong and the third time is still up for debate.

As shit as United are, and they are shit, you don't get signed by them without quality and something to work with. In a way it's not a bad place to be shopping right now, because they drag down players' value.

I’ve thought for a while that Man United’s problems run deep, and it’s not necessarily that they’re signing shit players or appointing shit managers. They’re broken as a club, and probably need a relegation to fix it (much as we did in the later Learner years IMO) just because it’s the only way you can fully cleanse everything from top to bottom.

I get this feeling maybe Jaden Sancho will flourish under Emery, we’ll pick him up on a free, then people will be wondering how we’ve managed to pluck the best midfield in the country for a pittance - Kamara, Tielemans, Barkley, Bogarde, and Sancho for free, Rogers for £8m, McGinn for £2.5m, … even Onana at £50m and Buendia at £25m look like increasingly shrewd signings.
