Victor Lindelöf

Probably better then what we have but we need to stop collecting older CB, unless we can move some on.

[RoboFox]

Wouldn't be averse to this. Would be an upgrade on anything we have currently. 

[pmcla26]

Could see him playing right-back for us as opposed to centre-back. He shifts across and Kristiansen bombs on.

Agree  . I’d like us to scout for the likes of Fofana and make the appropriate financial commitment ( hopefully not a nob like Fofana) .  No value in this as a signing and he’s crap as well

Not sure he crap, he's probably better than what we have.

Not a good sign that a nearly 37 year-old Jonny Evans is ahead of him in the United pecking order.

Did Lindelof play under RVN in his short time managing there?

He started in the Cup game against us and the Europa League game and also had 6 mins vs Chelsea of the bench

On 120k a week, better deals for younger better players to be had 

[shen]

No thank you

[JimJams]

Out of contract in the Summer. So if this is a signing for then, then great, think about it more down the line. If it's for January then you just wait for Man Utd to concede paying him off and letting him go early.  Which probably doesn't happen cos financially they're up shit creek on transfers.  Unless they just can't register him after they've done their January business.

No thanks.......must be on a good wedge

170k a week, but only til the summer.

[JimmyC74]

He has never really established himself at Yanited and played less games this season than Evans.

 

That said he probably is an upgrade on what we have, can also pay right back and comfortable on the ball,  so I wouldn't be unhappy with a loan.

[Royston.]

and heres me hoping Ruud has a few contacts to some young, cheap players who he can develop and sell on for mega profit

 

[Sly]

He’s better than what we have. Not really an ideal use of a loan signing though. I’d rather sell Faes and bring Souttar back.

Then what's the point of bringing in a new manager if we aren't going to let him bring in his players and add his stamp onto things?

[Iran]

Yes please. This will most likely be a direct pick out by RVN and address our area of concern, the defence.

I'd rather sell Souttar.  He's not got faster playing at Champ level and we're in need of a bit of pace at the back.  Otherwise we might as well stick with Vesty and even Coady.  It's good that he's doing well at Sheffield Utd, but I'd prefer he goes there than comes back tbh.  He's proving value to them, but I'd rather get a fee we can hopefully better spend.

 

Though I agree on selling Faes.

Swap one rubbish centre half for another one - great move - lindelof is a big upgrade on both Faes and Souttar

Firstly, we have a scouting and recruitment dept. Manager should not have total say in transfers.

Secondly, we can do better than Lindelöf. He's rarely stood out in a below par Man Utd team, he'll cost a fortune and he's injury prone.

[Jon the Hat]

I will trust the boss on this one, we are not the most talented at the back.  

[Hot Since 1882]

I forgot Victor Lindelof was a footballer - he can't get a game for Evan's at Man U..  (Evan's was always origanly U21 boss - not 3rd choice CB)

I know the answer - For 6 months to keep you up - you'd rather a 41 yo Evans or Victor Lindelof? 

 

Man U have go them so deep in trouble regarding PSR - same as Newcastle have, but it's not publicised. Man U - McTominay to Napoli is glossed over - replaced for 55M Ugarte, and a 60M injured 18 CB.

better than what we have but thats because what we have is will get us relegated
