Wow! We got a surprise transfer done in 3 days in June, instead of weeks of paper talk and prices shooting up on a weekly basis.. surely a record of some sort since Woody's taken over.

How did he manage to keep his mouth shut from the press
 
Wikipedia says we already signed him.. :lol:.

But I am surprised how none of the English press are really running with the story.

All of our signings last season were out of the blue. Memphis we got it done in a day, darmian we got it done in 3 days or so, Schneiderlin had a medical before the press knew what's up

Yeah, but people on here have goldfish memories.
 
Forget about building the attack from the back. Smalling cant pass for shit. And apparently thats Bailly's weakness as well.

They're centre backs. Worry about stopping the attackers, knock the ball away, give it simple to your full back or holding mid.

You don't need some ball playing don. Especially when it comes at the expense of the above, like it did with Blind, like it would be Stones etc

Bit premature I think, it seems we are still very much in the paper talk phase.
 
People can make fun of the last Eric all they like (and for good reason), but like The King, he also broke Leeds hearts.

What a finish.

Did't Forlan miss the offside flag and score an absolute screamer in that game?
 
Getting transfer business done early. What a time to be alive.
 
Absolutely buzzing. I think with Smalling, Jones, Blind and Bailly we look to have a great set of defenders. Not seen much of this lad (against Liverpool) but reports sound promising.
 
Dunno if he's good or not, but I liked how we've done this transfer, no leaks and early.
 
Also is it 30m in pounds or euros? The BBC is weird when it comes to our fees.
 
Based on very little but I have a good feeling about this signing. He looks to have a very complete natural raw skillset.
 
Nice! Been advocating this signing since late 2015 in the newbs. Get iiin!

This proves that Jose obviously scouts the newbs.
 
I have to admit, the irony of this transfer does not escape me. Many people were berating the fact that Renato Sanches only had half a season of experience at top flight level, before being linked with big clubs. Bailly, similarly has played a grand total of 40 games in total in La Liga.
 
Despite never having heard of him, I had a good feeling about a young Russian (I presumed) defender I saw us linked with in a small gossip column in the News of the world a few years ago. I also have a good feeling about this bloke.

Vidic worked out fine ...... very scientific :p

The problem for Renato was always the price, Bailly costs a semi-Renato.
