Rojo and Luke Shaw! One of them will be a waste of money. LVG panic buying already.

Is Rojo more centre back than left back then? If there is one thing Man Utd need it is more strength in the centre of defence.

He can play both. Played LB for Argentina and Centre back for Sporting.
He's like a Vidic ( tough, prone to violent outbursts )
This from an article on twitter.
"At Sporting, Rojo has mainly played as a centre back, but the 24-year-old enjoyed a decent World Cup campaign with Argentina this summer as their left back, which means Rojo is a very versatile player. His passing is also quite good and it is one of his strengths as a centre back. His physique is great as well. He is strong, quick and he is decent in the air."

Signing anyone after a good summer tournament can have its own pitfalls.
Karel Poborsky, El Hadji Diouf and Salif Diao come to mind.

Ah I see, Sorry thought he specialized at leftback. If he plays as a left sided centre back then he is what Manure need.

He can play left back or left side of a three. Him and Shaw will provide great competition for each other. How this can be seen as anything other than an excellent addition I don't know. He was great at the WC.

End of argument. adidas player of the tournament was awarded to adidas's biggest player. Messi shouldn't have got the award. Rojo had a good tournament. Lots of potential being bought. Will it come off? Time will tell.

I wouldn't recognise Rojo if he knocked on my front door. What is he ? Defender ? Midfielder ? I've barely heard of him.

Decent signing, but a level below world class and nowhere near the quality of Hummels, a main target or Vidic or Ferdinand who he replaces.
But its a sensible signing. Paying way over the odds for Di Maria would be a stupid signing because he isn't what they need.
Vidal on the other hand would be an excellent signing. Thats is the crunch for me whether they get him or not.

i wouldnt say he's much of an upgrade from Jones but i guess they need numbers.
had a decent WC but hasnt been setting the world alight at Sporting.
£20m will be good value IF he turns into a good player

Think he is good, certainly an improvement on what they currently have, but not in the class of Hummels/Benatia than Man U have previously been linked with.

I couldn't tell you, didn't notice him there or realise he was playing. I am guessing he had an ok world cup from comments on this thread but at a guess not as great as certain people make out.

Woooosh So chambers plays a few good games last season and 2 very good performances so far this- He a waste of money and an unknown player Rojo plays 3-4 good games at the World Cup - he's a world class signing . DELUDED. How's baldys stomach ulcer ? Ur that far up his arse u must have a great view of it !!

Never heard of this Mojo chap. Two weeks left until the transfer windows shuts, and Man Utd are back to the usual panic buying. Deja vu anyone? That Berbatov and Van Persie really were panic signings. Both helped win the league for them. Something arsenal fans won't remember.. In fact, RVP was signed almost to the day 2 years ago. m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/19296077Still, panic signings... If you were referring to last season. You've a small point. But seeing as that was done by Moyes, it explains it. LVG said he'll asses the squad ( don't forget he's 2-3 weeks behind the rest due to World Cup ) seems like he's made his mind up and is not recruiting players where he sees fit. Good management.

Junior, you've had the perfect opportunity to start distancing yourself from baldy. Why have you not taken it? Is your loyalty to him and Man Utd really that strong?

To be fair u didn't , but as u agree with everything the bald one says I just assumed u would be toeing the party line, everyone is shit unless utd sign them then they r world class. Have u ever even signed a bad player? Same with my bro-in-law , he will argue blind that Andy Carroll was a good buy for Liverpool , rather than just say yeah that was a right cock up

Berbaflop ha ha,good one,what was it 28 mill,went on to better things,Fulham wasn't it? As for Rip Van sick note,only plays when his team Is winning,so he went missing last season and will do so again this. P.S.Nothing on the Beeb about this signing,Baldy hasn't pulled this off the Red cafe site again has he ?

If anyone needs a translation, Junior has admitted he has no come back regarding the last few posts and will distance himself from this thread until his minder logs back in.
