Really very excited about this signing. He could be the new Cannavaro.
Lisandro Martinez | Signs for United

Parker was a RB, Ake is shaky as feck. A CP player is hardly top class. I'll give you Silva.
Heinze and Di Maria had one phrase each,
"I want Liverpool" and "I want me mum"
First united player to play in the kids United kit?
My bad. He is 5ft 9 which is still quite short in fairness though not as worrying as 5ft 7.

Makes sense for him not to join for Australia. He has a week to get settled a bit in Manchester with a new home and then can join for our penultimate two games of pre season.
Kante does not play CB. How a CB needs to win his duels is different to how a CM does. And Lukaku is such a shit example. I sincerely hope that I am wrong and this guy is a success but we will see, I have my reservation.
And Martinez is this short strong powerhouse that will handle strikers like Kane and Haaland?
Parker was a full back only for utd. Might have played centre for an earlier club?
Peoples concerns on height are valid. There is a reason why short defenders generally get shifted to full back. G neville was tipped to move central but the odd time he did he struggled
Really good at both CB and LB.
A few clubs in for him including Ajax and Villa.
Whoever gets him is signing a beast of a player. Would happily swap him for Maguire
This is why we need the metric system. You might wanna double check your math there.
Not true. 5ft7 is like 170 cm.
We've got two matches scheduled over the 30th and 31st with the latter being at OT. Season starts the following weekend so I think we'll see more of an ETH starting lineup in one of those two. We could have Eriksen and FDJ in by then.
One of the wierdest signings I've ever seen when thinking about what we need Vs what we have and budgets. We might have the thinnest squad in the top ten outside of defence. It's like... We don't have perfect centres backs but at least we actually have enough centre backs.
Re height. I could see it not being a major issue in open play. We just need enough ability in the air so we aren't conceding one set piece every week to the lower in the table teams. ETH has no experience of this so hopefully this is thought through.

We have the numbers but not the quality. Hopefully a few of them will be sold soon
By this time next year he'll be 5'11 after 12 months stretching to reach Wan-Bissaka's passes.
Doesn't matter how many CBs you have if all of them are shit. We had 0 in GD in the league last year. We are leaking goals like crazy.
I'm not sure last season is a fair barometer to judge the quality of the group of players though. We were less than the sum of our parts, had a catastrophe of a manager whose job seemed to be to make things as bad as possible. Other seasons we have capable centre backs, even if Bailly and varane have very bad injury records
The video is unavailable. But don’t tell me it’s the Ajax vs Dortmund match in which he “dominated” Haaland with that one tackle video?
I’ll not be happy till Lindelof has gone
Parker also played CB for QPR and occasionally for England
ake is about to go for 40m AGAIN
But we got rid of Ole in November
Thanks. Never knew that. Of course height can be an asset, but it can also make you less agile and slower off the mark.
not Harry ?
Harry was far better the season before last. I’m not sure what transpired last season but his form went to the dogs. I’m curious if it can be recovered. If not, sell him too. Lindelof we’ve seen for 6 years and he’s not improved
If you could have Bailly’s athleticism, Harry’s head and Blind’s passing and overall reading of the game you would have the perfect defender. We unfortunately seem to buy them in bits. Looks like we are going for the Blind type again.
Dafaq?
Is that a word or a typo?
Will it be Lisandro or Martinez on his shirt?
Its shorthand for wtf?
I think he will do well! His strong points are his tenacity, his long passing and never give up mentality. He just never gives up and he corrects his teammates. He doesnt take crap
Interesting perspective. Whatever way you look at it players performances were worse last season then the rest of the players careers. You'd have to believe in a big coincidence to conclude that is the players real levels
Ah okay, thanks. No need to reply then.
You've had a few stinkers in this thread already, perhaps time to take a step out, take a breath and come back in when composed
He will be announced later today. No time given yet. This according to The Muppetiers once again.
