People should've seen the natural mistakes Rio was making in his first few seasons for West Ham.
Keep in mind that these are kneejerk posts by the usual suspects. Their opinion on all subject is worthless. Now Badiashile isn't ready for a move and he shouldn't move, at least not to a big club.

Youngest with biggest potential.How do we rank him versus the other CBs we were linked with? Gabriel / Torres?
Lacking in experience and confidence.What’s a natural mistake?
Would be an odd signing. I'm all for taking punts on young promising players but we've already got a collection of the prior experiments sat around as duds.
With Mengi and Tuanzebe coming through it feels like money better spent elsewhere.
isn't tuanzebe always injured?
Well his record obviously isn't great but I doubt we've given up on him already.
If we have decent funds avaliable this summer and we're offloading two or three CBs then I'm all for it.
We said that about DalotHe's only 19. I think he's got some time on his side.
I agree, he'd be nothing but a back up at this moment in time, we need an upgrade on what we have to add depth, not hope another youngster comes good.
In fairness his head may be elsewhere. Wouldn’t be the first to be affected by transfer talk. He is very raw though, he isn’t going to be going straight into the first team.
Anyone with fantastic injury history record is good investment for young player.
Wasn't that reported around a month ago? We've been watching him for a couple of years as wellAccording to French outlet RMC Sport, Manchester United have registered a ‘strong interest’ in Monaco’s Benoît Badiashile.
United are said to be competing with Valencia and Bayer Leverkusen for the centre-back, while Rennes have just had a 15 million Euro bid rejected.
Here is a closer look at the potential Manchester United addition…
1) Badiashile plays for Monaco and has made 20 starts this past season. He also made 20 starts in 2018/19.
2) The left-footed centre-back is just 19-years-old and he has represented France at international level from under-16 to the under-19s.
3) Badiashile was recently nominated for Europe’s Golden Boy Award, along with Mason Greenwood, Angel Gomes and James Garner.
4) He stands tall at an intimidating 6 foot 4″. This advantage helps him win an average of 3.5 aerial duels per game this season.
5) Badiashile signed a contract extension with Monaco last December. His deal now runs through until June 2024.
Would he be a good signing?
Badiashile was loosely linked with Manchester United last summer and he is the type of prospect a lot of top clubs will have an eye on.
He has the physical and stylistic attributes United like. He is strong, quick, and he likes to play out from the back.
At United he would not be expected to start right away, he would join the queue of defensive talent, to compete with Axel Tuanzebe and Teden Mengi.
Yet with Tuanzebe becoming worryingly injury prone in his debut season, United do need depth, with the likes of Marcos Rojo, Phil Jones and Chris Smalling all likely to be sold this summer.
If Tuanzebe’s injury problems concern the coaching staff, then it is likely United will look to strengthen in this department this summer, especially with Eric Bailly’s own troubled injury history a lurking problem.
Badiashile is the type of prospect who it could be worth taking a chance on, especially if Monaco need a quick sale.
United have also been linked with Swansea’s Joe Rodon, via The Mirror, and Badiashile would fit into the same category as a developmental prospect who can compete, add depth, and hopefully eventually turn into a regular starter in a few years.
There is no way to know for sure if Badiashile would or would not be a success, but at just 19, with 40 professional starts under his belt already, he is on the right track.

According to sources 22m Euros turned down and they will accept a 'Martial like fee.'This won't happen. Monaco will want too much money for him and we'll walk away as we're working on a budget.

Many think a fee of around 40/50m Euros will secure him. That's if we want to go for potential
Not sure we have that money if we're still serious about Sancho.
It's time to stop wasting energy on waiting for Tuanzebe to come good. He's clearly a perma-crock.
He's been watched for a couple of years now so not 'strange' in the slightest.Strange player to be linked to. If our scouts rate him then I guess we should too.

I'm just thinking that if we have Mengi and Axel, buying Badass kind of leaves them in the lurch a bit
Axel is 22 isn’t he? Mengi is clearly very highly rated at the club, I doubt this will influence his development. I would prefer a more experienced defender though.He's been watched for a couple of years now so not 'strange' in the slightest.

He's quicker than Vertonghen, whose only weakness was his speedHe looks the real business from those youtube comps. The size, quickness and ability on the ball remind me of a bigger Vertonghen.
