Transfer Rumour Marcos Rojo

[II McColl II]

Left footed CB's are hard to come by that are either available, proven at this level or willing to join. It's annoying that we're going after Utd's castaways again but out of him, Smalling and Jones i'd only consider the 1st 2 and Rojo edges it for natural balance to the side.

I'd personally prefer to gamble on Hinteregger at Augsburg but it feels like we're getting to panic mode and buying the best suited proven option that we could potentially sign.

Prefer him to what we have but the worry for me is i don't see much difference between him and Funes Mori pre injury, if im not wrong FM was actually ahead of him in the pecking order for Argentina as a CB yet we let him go for next to nothing compared to this deal.

[If true]

Mad how bad we are at scouting.

 

[Papa Shango]

Argentine International defender...he has to be good right?

Not a fan to be honest. He is not "mad" he is a snide.

 

[Boss Silva]

Rojo is a good option for our club.

 

[Papa Shango]

Oh by the way Mina is rubbish too.

Booooooo at this utter shambles.

Same agent as Pickford. Gylfi and Jags.

Win rate of 60% in games played for Man Utd. Which is better than the team win % in same period.

For 15 to 20 mill and similar wage he would be much better than what we have. Only issue is him getting injured as he does put himself about a lot.

Trying to cover for his mistakes usually.

I'm not having this one.

It seems our only scope and pull is recruiting players that have previously worked with Silva, what exactly is Marcel actually doing, I hope this isn’t another Steve with a more expensive suit and Dutch accent.

Someone has already dismissed the Rojo silva link as rojo leftshortly after Silva became Sporting manager.

Any chance to get a dig in though.

We just got rid of one Argie liability we don't need another to replace him for near 3 times the fee

Yes, yes I would

Boss snide.

 

[irishtony1878]

What is it about Man Utd palming off their left overs on us?

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

Here we go again with being late to the table...but it's only 5 years, eh? We could've sold him for a profit by now, as per.

Better than every defensive player we have apart from Coleman, and that's saying something.

 

[Connor]

Boss snide.

Once a year he tries an absolute rocket of an effort from distance, it's a yes from me
