i ve watched benatia at roma, and even with his former club (udinese). He s good but i think he s a bit overrated due to lack of decent cb s available
This will be the exception to the rule. There's got to be at least one exception... Yeah, decided. This is it. I am convincing myself now before the inevitable heart break. Don't believe it. Won't believe it. Nope. I am on a desert Island of anti-muppetry over here.
The quality of centre halfs has lessened over the years, hence we're talking about guys like Benatia and Garay so highly when we've been blessed watching Nesta, Stam, Cannavaro and the like in recent times.
I'm just back from Rome. This might have something to do with my presence
Going to be an amazing signing if true - just what we need.
Big, strong, quick, reads the game well and passes excellently. Sort of like Blackett at full potential if you will. Really pleased with this.

Jim White is a concrete transfer muppet. This is happening if he says it is
Would be fantatic, him and Rojo would be good, our defenders will be injured the whole season, so 2 new CBs should be good and I like Blackett, but preaseason means nothing. That's the only good thing with today's loss, chances are higher that we are more active now.
injury record?
White is Mr Transfers, this is ON.
Would be a good signing if true. We'll find a way to turn this into a saga though, knowing us. Hope we get him.
Reading through his feed it looks like a lot of deals his has spoke about have happened, this could just happen.
by any chance did you see woody?
It may look like it, but this deal hasn't been motivated by today's result. If White is now talking in certainties, this has been going on a while.
Thanks so much for making this happen. Any more trips planned?
I hear Turin's quite nice this time of year... You might fancy it...
Means nothing for us. He could be injury free throughout his whole career and then tear a ligament walking into Woody's office.
Obligatory Youtube video
Yet we were being touted €30m. Ridiculous.
Guys check his timeline, he has it right all the time, literally all the time. Benatia is ours, one of the best or maybe the best defender around is ours.
Do we have any pictures of him signing a United shirt yet?
The obligatory video convinced me...
Benatia 5?
He's got a proper cheeky gun celebration going on, that makes him cooler.
White might appear a muppet on SSN because of his attitude, but everything he says on his Twitter is basically true. He has sources obviously and would not say something like this without concrete sources, this is on and I'm so happy.
It is possible to delete tweets. Easy to keep a 100% record that way. Just saying.
Waiting for some more people to report this before going into fully blown muppet mode.
Seriously RAWKish comment
this guy is set to Ultra-Muppet.Not convinced. Also, is he the only one reporting this as happening? If it was truly on, wouldn't more of the media be reporting it? Not just solitary Jim White oft' telly.
Except nobody does that aside from these "@Agent007ITK" accounts.
So no Rojo then?
If this is true then great but hope it's the first of a good few we have coming in before September.
Doubt it's either or considering Rojo would play on the left of the 3 & Benatia either central or on the right.
I think us getting Benatia strengthens our position with Rojo. Sporting can accept out bid knowing we won't pay more cause we dont need him as much or pay the 3rd party the fee.
Thats one perspective anyway.
Class player. If we get him he helps us along the way to solving the deep issues in the squad.
Talking about the fact that I rate him so or think he is ours? xDSeriously RAWKish comment
Both. You think he's "maybe the best defender about"
?Interesting to see that not a single journo is backing up Jim White on the Benatia to United story. Methinks it's bollocks.
