Because Otamendi is probably better.
Lisandro Martinez | Man Utd player - Contract till 2027, with the option to extend for a further year
- Thread starter roonster09
- Start date
Yes and that should probably be a concern.
Aren't we then just better off playing 3 atb with Lissandro as the LCB?
I don't how many times this can be said. We're buying Martinez to play centre back. Maybe he'll play the odd game at CDM but ten Hag clearly prefers him at centre back and has said so publicly.
I didn’t know he was fluent in English. That’s great to see and will help him settle.
Fred sometimes starts ahead of Fabinho for Brazil. Guess he's better too.
Goes without saying.
No because he isn't better
Yeah Fred is great too, that's why we paid 59m euros.
Dude you are probably the most negative person on the caf. Every thread you moaning and complaining. Ever heard of seniority in international squads? Especially in in Argentina squad.
That is exactly how international football works, always.
Did that guy religion sent you? And how much is he paying you?
Seems like we aren’t short of jokes here.
International football sucks anyway I agree. Just look at Brazil and who is starting for them in midfield.
Of course. I am naive in hoping we try him in midfield however.
Why? He's a centre back.
Because I think we have better quality at CB and no one to play CDM. And we will need one. Regardless where he starts, I sincerely hope he does great for us. And this supposed fight he brings is something we often lack.
Everything about him just screams Marcos Rojo 2.0
Left footed Argentinian centre back who loves to fly into challenges, plays with ‘passion’, is suspect aerially, loves a shot from distance and has a decent pass on him. Just hope he can make toast a bit better.

I see. Well we don't have a centre back anywhere near as good as him on the ball, or left footed to boot. Besides, Varane can't seem to stay fit. Just because we need a CDM doesn't mean we should shoehorn a player in there when his strengths lie elsewhere. Agreed on his fighting mentality being a big benefit.
Talk about trying to sap the life out of an exciting new signing

I think he'll become a cult hero if the Ten Hag era is successful. We need mentality as much as we need any specific position.
I am more worried about how good his defending will actually be, and as a full package we are yet to see what and how much of an improvement he will be on our current options. Let’s just hope he adapts quickly, the rest will come down to the team needs after all.
There you are I was worried.Talk about trying to sap the life out of an exciting new signing

We can be sure those 2 will be his biggest critics over the season who'll make a mountain over his every mistake.Talk about trying to sap the life out of an exciting new signing

You are the expert on moaning around here, whatever you sayGood to see you’re still moaning at every opportunity!

Very true. I tend to moan and call out those who drag the mood down. Sadly you’ve fallen in to that category (not a good look mate, trust me)
I hope you see you soon that dreams can’t be buy hi Rio do u need picking up in the morning?
Looking forward to seeing him play. Can't really say I'm excited but Ten Hag considers him a 'warrior' and that is a good sign.
I’m super excited. Reason being we have a left footer playing out from the back on the left side. I bet a lot of people will be surprised how much of a difference it makes. The outward passes to the fullbacks curve to their feet away from pressing defenders. It seems so obvious and benign, yet it makes a massive difference. Add to that Martinez is brilliant on the ball and is press resistant, and you have a remarkable change in buildup tempo. Can’t wait to see it in action personally
You make a good case. Hopefully he makes the step up.
57 mill?. Must put him in the top 5/6 of CB's transfer fees. Who went for more? Maguire, Hernanez, Van Dijk, De ligt to Juve were more then De ligt to Bayern and Diaz were around the same price 60 ish. Dude must be good.
Let’s go Lisandroooo… just a shame your partner is Maguire. Expect good leadership from him.. I know he won’t be afraid to put his team mates into place. Think he’ll get a few assist this season with his long accurate passing.
