Fellaini isnt wank..you are just idiots who cant scout a players abilities for shit
Exactly..had any of the plastics or spanish clubs been sniffing around him you wouldnt be able to see this forum for flying virgin jizz
I'm really looking forward to the first mistake he makes in a United shirt. I expect at least three pages of "TOLD YOU SO" in the match thread.
Fellaini may not be wank for all, but his style of play does not suit us in any form or fashion and he is painful to watch.
Full profile on Manchester United's new signing, what he offers the club
The Argentine Sporting defender has been hefty linked with Manchester United over the past couple of weeks, with a deal now reportedly done, but he will not be an upgrade for the Red Devils.
In the summer of 2012 Sporting, reportedly, beat both Porto and Benfica to the signing of left back Marcos Rojo. He arrived from Russian side Spartak Moscow for a €5 million fee and, on paper, it looked like a good deal. It is not every day a Portuguese club manages to purchase a young Argentine player, who is already capped upon his arrival.
As expected, Rojo went straight into Ricardo Sá Pinto’s line-up, but the Sporting manager decided to play the Argentine as a centre back. Neither Rojo nor Sporting had the best start to their campaign, and the Portuguese giants struggled to hit the ground running. A bad start to the season became worse when Sporting visited Porto’s Estádio do Dragão in the 6th round. Losing 2-0 to one of your fiercest rivals is never good, and it certainly did not help that the man of the hour, Marcos Rojo, was sent off 15 minutes before full time.
Sporting continued to struggle and by Christmas the Lisbon team was fighting relegation. Fortunately, Jesualdo Ferreira was brought in as Sporting’s new manager and he managed to turn things around, both for Sporting and Marcos Rojo. Despite picking up another red card, again against Porto, Rojo ended the season on a high.
A disastrous season, both on and off the pitch, had come to an end for Sporting. In March 2013, Bruno de Carvalho was voted new Sporting President and he made immediate changes to the club. The club was, and still is, in a terrible financial situation, but the newly voted President managed to clean up some of the mess Godinho Lopes, the former Sporting President, had left him.
In the summer, Leonardo Jardim was appointed and he became Sporting’s 4th manager in less than a year, and he brought instant success to the club. The current Monaco manager took Sporting to a surprising 2nd place, and Marcos Rojo was one of his key men to accomplish that achievement. Marcos Rojo did improve a lot compared to the 2013/14 season, and especially his concentration and positioning got better under the guidance of Jardim.
At Sporting, Rojo has mainly played as a centre back, but the 24-year-old enjoyed a decent World Cup campaign with Argentina this summer as their left back, which means Rojo is a very versatile player. His passing is also quite good and it is one of his strengths as a centre back. His physique is great as well. He is strong, quick and he is decent in the air.
As a centre back Rojo has been struggling, and especially against the top teams. Despite being a monster against Porto at home in March last season, he often had problems with his positioning when facing tougher opposition. Marcos Rojo does have problems with his positioning and marking (which are quite important abilities for a defender), and due to this there is less of a risk of him exposing himself and the team when he is playing left back. But again, the thought of Rojo to keep track of Walcott, Sterling, Willian or Navas can make one lose sleep.
Marcos Rojo will give his all for you, but that is not always a good thing. He is a very impatient man with a lot of temper. He is the kind of player who can kick away the ball when the opponent have received a soft free-kick, when he is already on a yellow card. The worst part of it? You would not even be surprised. Rojo also has the tendency to throw himself into the tackles, which potentially can be career-threatening for other players. At his two seasons at Sporting, so far, Rojo has managed to pick up 21 yellow cards and four red cards in 49 league games.
Striking a deal for Rojo will not have been easy for Manchester United, if the reports that they have are correct. The Argentine is on a contract with the Portuguese giants to the summer of 2017 with a €30 million release clause. Rojo is 75% owned by a fund named Doyen Sport, which have caused problems over the last week. On Tuesday, he refused to train with the team, as representatives from Doyen Sport convinced him that he had every right to do so because Sporting had rejected an offer for him (from an unnamed club). Later the same night Sporting President Carvalho confirmed that Rojo was banned from all activities with Sporting due to his unprofessional behaviour, and that he would not even allow the Argentine to train with the D team.
Sunday night Marcos Rojo did an interview with Sporting’s own TV channel, publicly apologising for his behaviour.
The reported fee of €20 million is a lot of money, and especially for a player who will be no upgrade on none of Evans, Jones or Shaw. Marcos Rojo can do a good job as a back-up as centre back or left back, but a unreliable back-up is not what Manchester United need, based on their performance versus Swansea City on Saturday.
Marcos Rojo will not be the answer to Manchester United’s problems. He is more likely to create more of them.
that's got me all excited about this signing.Thats the spirit.
That profile SportWitness did on him is not encouraging at all, im afraid we've hit yet another dud in the transfer window. Hope im wrong but I dont think so ..
Thats funny, he has played exactly how many minutes for Van Gaal?
Things he's good at.
- Elbowing people
- Knock downs
Things he's not good at.
- Everything else.
I think I will like him.
Anyways, if he's an LVG signing, he'll be good on the ball which is something we need from our defenders.
Plus we got another defender.

He'll make a mistake, all players do. It's the hilarious over-reaction I'm anticipating.
SportWitness and Hamadamaonvic > Louis van Gaal everyone

Porto had a lot of Spanish speaking players playing for the dirtiest team in Portugal (sorry Arruda but Pepe, Bruno Alves, Ramirez comes to my mind) so was easy for them to unsettle him but I'm guessing he doesn't speak English and would be safe to say he will do good for at least a year.
Sport witness, I believe everything they write.
They sure are reliable.
They sure are reliable.
I am sure I saw him play in the WC but I don't recall much about him. I hope he does well.
Agreed, but having said that Id take him over Vermaelen anyday.
Already too many... get rid.
Aren't SportWitness glorified interpreters? Wouldn't be too concerned with their evaluation of the player.
It's not that bad. He is a bit suspicious positionally but that's to be expected from such a young player.
But he seems to be a great tackler, good on the ball and good in the air.
As far as his persona is concerned, I'm sure LVG will sort that out.
Well, with Rojo and Phil Jones we would at least have one of the wildest defenses in the PL. This could work out pretty well, our defense could reach a pretty good level, but what if it doesn't?
If it doesn't work out, we have the same problem next year if a truly world class center half comes available. Offloading one of our inferior ones before being able to buy a new one, and no one possibly being interested in one of the CB's (Keane, Blackett, Evans, Smalling, Rojo, Jones) we already have.

So we are getting the Argentine David Luiz. Not complaining, I'd take a puddle of warm urine if it can play center back considering our lack of bodies.
He's 24 isn't he?
Thought you were talking about Rojo here. Was thinking shit have we signed another Fellaini!
Worst comes to worst, we can play Carrick there for half a season .
How much have you actually seen of rojo?
Nah, he's the Argentine Sergio Ramos.
It was that @PortuBall twat on twitter who wrote the SportsWitness article and he claims to be some Portuguese football expert but in reality he hasn't a clue, wouldn't pay much notice to it.
I haven't seen much of him but I have to admit his disciplinary record is worrying.
Not much more than the world cup, he's comfortable making those barnstorming runs with the ball and has a good left foot. That's all I know of him before reading that article.
Still young for a CB.
Whats the fecking use of sending Nani on loan? Should have just sold him and lowered the transfer fees. If we have decided we don't need him, then get him off the books once and for all.
Look, nobody is saying Rojo will be an outstanding player. I mean we probably wanted the perma-crock Vermaelen over him, which says a lot.
Still, we desperately need numbers at the back and he fits a lot of what we need (left footed CB, can also cover LB) and is obtainable with just two weeks left in the window.
Nothing like an ideal signing but probably necessary.

Yup, Nani sure would have joined a club that can pay him half of what he is earning here, at most.
Yeah from what i saw of him last year i agree Shaw will be great.
I meant in the meantime.
That sportwitness article written by a Liverpool fan no doubt. I haven't really seen the guy play but I don't know why everyone is believing all the bad stuff they hear about him, it's so pessimistic. I've seen a lot of people over the last week or so say he is a very good player, so I'll get excited about seeing what they see in him rather than wallow around in misery thinking he's not good enough when I've not even seen him play

If you want a Norwegian twitter hero's take on Rojo, go with the only one who isn't talking out of his ass; Tor-Kristian Karlsen. And he rates him.
He could be a pretty good left back for us though, has all the assets for it, and with Luke Shaw possibly having to adapt and all...
My guess would be that they were receiving no interest in Nani or if they did the offers were minimal. They probably figure he'll have a very productive season in Portugal and that will help drive his price up next summer.
Is there a way we could pay some of his wages until his contract expires with us like how it happens in FM?
