Diogo Dalot (Out)

He's versatile, stays injury free and although he hasn't shown it this season he can be very useful.

I'd keep unless they were willing to give us 50m plus.
 
Alvarez is far from a sure thing. I’ve never heard of Reis so I can’t comment but would generally be against filling the squad with SCP/Portuguese players. Dalot is a known quantity.
Dalot isn’t a sure thing. He is better going forward on the right than the left and his defending is suspect. €50m is a huge sum for him if true.
 
I like Dalot and don't think we will want to sell but for the right price we could probably replace him with 2 players, if Amorim wants to buy players there will have to be some exits, the right deal might make this work
 
Good sign to have a rumour about one of United players.

Need to get back to the stage where everyone envy’s the squad, then United won’t have to pay them to actually leave haha.
 
He's staying. Trent will go to Madrid.
I believe this is the true answer, trade England for Spain, have assist to Mbappe and vini. Smart thinking from Madrid by finding a good way to unlock more assists to those two. Last is Bruno Fernandes at 140 million! :lol:

If Madrid wants him let him go. He's decent but he can also lose all confidence in a game which makes wingers absolutely destroy him. Can't have that aspect if we're expecting to challenge week in and week out
 
We won't sell him, nor should we. He's a very good right back and I'm sure Amorim will really like him. He's become a victim to his own durability and versatility.
I’ve noticed when he’s over worked he drops off big time and that’s ten hags fault to an extend but also to all the injuries last season. Malacia was supposed to cover and Dalot ended up being our only RB
To be fair almost all of transfer news is gossip. The headline for what you references does say "Tuesday gossip".
Yeah, but that’s just a clickbait title, not even clickbait. Its also on ESPN

You could be right. If the scouts find something and frimprong is brought in, it’s possible. I do agree that with our fullback situation selling him in January is crazy but if for some reason Arnold stays at Liverpool and we have more than enough time to find two RBs that Amorim finds more dangerous on the attack, it’s possible he will be sold for those reasons.
We have 3 cbs and the RWB is definitely meant to scare on the attack like Amad is doing.



If Ineos knows what they are doing I could see them selling him and not underselling or trying to over sell and lose the deal (Woodward days)
 
Good going forward. Defending can be terrible. Would take 60 million for him. Anything less and Madrid can take a hike.
 
Feels like an easy sell if there's any truth in this. No idea why they want him.
 
If Madrid is really interested sell him in Jan
 
One of the only wingback options we have who is always fit.

This would be beyond stupid.
 
There is no way we are selling Diogo Dalot. Close Thread.
 
No brainier to sell him for 50. He’s not very good. But I don’t think this is genuine.
 
Nope, it actually collates information which is mostly bullshit from gossip pages. It has gossip in the name for a reason. There may be a few small reliable pieces in their mix but Il consider the Dalot one as BS

The column in BBC mentions the report is from Relevo, which is a reliable source according to our resident expert on transfers @mazhar13


 
No chance we sell him unless 1) it's nearing the 60m mark 2) he is adamant to leave or 3) Amorim wants him gone.
 
We can do better than Dalot in terms of having a specialist wing back at the club, but it would be silly to sell him given his versatility and being one of the few players who could deputise as wing back in our current squad. He's also been a model pro for us. Agreed with the others in this thread that have said that we should only look to sell if we can get £55m+ for him.
 
If only the offer was real.

He’s a bang average player who looks good only when the rest of the team is crap.
Cept for ten hags first season where he was fantastic.. a lot of teams will see him as reliable, good age, and a workhorse on the flank no? He could also play both sides.

It’s a great point. Both flanks, reliable. Surely amorim prefers a creator like Amad on the RWB role. Does Diogo do that for us? If we’re thinking of him as a back up for both flanks and we can get a fee for him i don’t see why the coach wouldn’t want someone more creative.
 
I'll take it if they offer us EUR 50m for him. He is decent but not very good. Also, I don't see an ideal position for him in Amo's three at the back system. The manager likes his RWB to be an attacking player and we need a better LWB if we have to compete.

Lindelof and Evans will definitely leave on a free. And I think we'll trigger the one year extension in 'Arry's contract. That leaves us with:

- CB's: Yoro, de Ligt, Martinez, Maguire and Maz
- WB's: Amad, Malacia

We'd need a LWB, a CB and a back-up RWB in the summer transfer window if we continue with the current system. Any kind of money we can generate by selling one of the defenders would only help is strengthen those positions. Dalot is the obvious choice, imo.
 
Dalot is very good RB performing badly in LB/LWB roles, I don't think we sell him, once we have a natural LB/LWB to play in the LWB roles, Dalot will go back to the RWB role and probably compete with Maz or Amad depending on what Amorim decides/does.
 
We aren't selling even if they offer 50m. He's the one reliable full back we have who stays fit and is at the right physical level along with being technically a very good and versatile player. You don't sell people like that.
 
Why are we making threads when the source is labeled as gossip?
All transfer “speculation” / “Rumour” is gossip until confirmed by the club.

Said a few weeks back that given our ffp issues he might be someone we would look at selling as he probably has good value and in a position we have cover or could bring in someone. However just seems like Real putting preasure on Trent. And if that then is the type of RB they are looking at then surely Frimpong suits the more attacking profile.

He wasn’t really. He still made 2-3 brain dead decisions each game which got overlooked because he’s not Maguire.

You can’t rely on a defender who fecks up every game even when he’s supposedly playing well.
 
No way. We paid 20m and invested 5 years in him. Just entering his peak now. 40m is dirt cheap for the investment we made
 
Real are forcing Trent’s hand. If they do go for Dalot they will unsettle him and drive the price down , it’s what they do. We have never done a decent deal with Madrid , would much rather not deal with them at all. Really dislike them.
 
This Dalot thread makes me laugh, folks don't want to sell him, I guarantee you if a good offer comes in from Madrid he'll be gone. We won't actively sell him but if it does come in we will accept 50m. The RWB role is Amads for the foreseable future with Quenda next in line if he signs. I like Dalot but he's not expendable.
 
For 50m I'd drive him to the airport myself! Given how Amorim's system uses a left footed winger as RWB, the LWB must be a natural left footer. Sell him and use that to pay Davies or whichever LWB the club deems fit. Dalot is a liability at LWB. Rotate the new signing with Amass (Or call back Carreras) moving forward.
 
He is a good player but always has that one brainfart moment per game. If he has a defined role in the system which he can execute perfectly then i would still take a chance on him improving but he is a luxury player to have on the bench since we are in dire need of money. We should be selling him for a higher price though, if we decide to sell.

Yes agreed. We can buy much better and suitable player to improve the left side for 50m
