So, basically we should ignore and not talk about any potential flaws a new signings may have so as not to impact the joy of our poor fragile transfer muppets?
OK I guess.

It is exactly foreign for a CB to play a full back. It’s an entirely new position. And just cause Irwin was right footed and played LB doesn’t mean all right footed backs can play LB and vice versa.
Getting tiny little Argentinian man vibes

I don’t see what Lingard has to do with thisThis thread:
Romano did his “here we go” and I don’t think anyones noticed yet
I think @Niall didn’t like it
And webster a few weeks back.
He was a flop if we are looking for centre back again.
Nothing on his twitter
May as well be. The way some go on you'd think it's impossible for a defender under 6ft to get the better of a striker. It's not like anticipation, positioning, jumping, athleticism or any other attributes exist to be a good defender, you literally just have to be a big fella to handle the almighty Peter Crouch leagueThis thread:
BREAKING: Lisandro Martinez has FAILED his Manchester United medical. Sources claim he was asked to complete a five minute run on the treadmill at the AON Training Complex but could not reach the start button.
4/10
Is this a rating of my post or a reaffirmation of Martinez's height in feet and inches?
Here we go
The beer is stronger in the UK
From my understanding frenkie likes to get the ball from the cbs and go forward with it. He is not the type to just sit.
This is quite a short saga, we should all be glad.
Generous
The missis says size doesn't matter. I think we will be ok.

This is gold.This thread:
Yes, but I would think it more likely that he gets a role which involves situationally dropping alongside the two centre backs when building play. If he is doing that then Martinez won't be.
Hey @Niall this is not fun anymore. Can we please add it to the title that Martinez rejects arsenal or something like that please?
Having concerns is absolutely fine but I think the role of the inverted fullback will be key to maintaining a defensive balance in the event the opposition evades the first lines of pressure.
So I think depending on which side we're transitioning play from, will dictate which fullback will invert to provide a defensive balance. But it's vert important for the fullback to be capable on the ball, whilst also having the ability to help snuff out counter attacks.
I'm 5"11 with my shoes on, would I be able to be a defender or not?
In fairness we all thought signing Varane who is tall and quick, would be the perfect foil for Maguire.
So maybe a littlun who isn't quick will sort of work brilliantly.
We'll have 95% of the ball in all games I'm sure anyway.

How many teeny tiny itsy bitsy great centre backs have there been? Cannavaro?
Puyol and Mascherano. Beckenbauer, Koeman, De Boer, Baresi; Ramos is only 184cm or so; he’s still one of the best in the air in the last couple of decades.Thiago Silva is only 5 11
This is a good point actually, everyone fussing about Lisandro's height, they forget HE'S GOING TO BE WEARING SHOES WHEN HE PLAYS. So what's the big deal. People can be so stupid.
Here we go confirmed
Cannovaro was 5’9 as well, brilliant defender.
