Ya, sorry, my mistake. Ya, Benatia is just a cb, but on a completely different level to Rojo. €20m is acceptable, but anything more is extortionate imo.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

What instagram thing?
They aren't rumors. It's happening.
I think that it's legit since he refused to train. Every one is very late on that one.
Is he any good??
I heard he was the best young defender going but that he was a liability and I am scared that I know more about scouting players than LvG.

Just pretend you already know like the rest of us.
From the BBC story:
He's clearly not too shabby as a player, why are certain people so underwhelmed by this transfer?

Not close to the same league as Hummels/Benatia etc but at this point I'll take any warm bodied and able CB.
Will he play CB
BBC say £15.9m is what we have effectively bid.
Meh, so much for signing great players Ed 
To be honest, with it looking likely that Young will play wing back, along with Shaw, Rafael and Valencia, we have enough options there, in my opinion.
If, as you say, Benatia is a world class centre back, we should probably focusing on getting a specialist player who is very good in one set position, rather than a versatile player who is decent in two or three.
LCB seems most likely
I'm guessing, yes.
Pretty sure he missed one game?

So a starter for the Argentina WC team isnt good enough for United...okay
Who cares about great? The important thing is that he's a player that van Gaal sees as a fit for his system.Meh, so much for signing great players Ed
Very happy with this if it goes through, which is extremely likely now.
I think we should all send Barcelona a thank you email for taking Vermaelen so that we could get Rojo instead.

He plays centre back for his club, so it seems likely he'll play that LCB position for us, as well as being solid back up for Shaw.
At £16m he could be a good singing. From what I understand he is very talented but has disciplinary issues which have so far prevented him from reaching his full potential. Still only 24 so plenty of time to sort himself out.
The dodgy trim and body tattoos make him look like trailer trash. Shouldn't be too much of an issue mind, I don't watch United for the eye candy.
Cuadrado up next.
It's happening.
Okay people ,what is CAFs judgment on him then?
1 or 2 Liverpool fans on Twitter saying they are gutted and really rate him. Also a few people who watch Portuguese Football are saying he's big. Certainly was good at the World Cup, part of a really good Argies defence that only conceded 1 goal in the entire knockout stages. Rojo also scored v Nigeria in the groups.
Didn't he play well against Holland in the World Cup?
Either there or left back/wing back.
I think he's a good signing personally but a starter for Argentina's defence (other than Zabaletta and possible Garay) is not exactly that great a thing. They aren't stocked in those positions with talent

If LVG wants a Left footer to play LCB who is comfortable on the ball and is particular about it, then what the hell is Woodward supposed to do ?
I believe the general consensus is that nobody has actually seen him play but they're able to come to the conclusion that he's not good enough for us.
What a stupid post. Does it make their goalie a starter for us or Gago. This signing screams Plan z.
I was right...
Suspended for the Belgium match.

Well done BBC.
That looks like Tweety to me.. only if his head was a bit bigger
And yet they barely let in any goals in the entire World Cup.
Surely Evans top of the pecking order out of the current three CBs? LVG has even been considering him for captain.
Yeh he just doesn't cut it.
