Seriously? No, not unless you've decided to change the definition of what 'couple' means. Try Google, it's a big source of info, why don't you find me an instance where 'couple' means ten, good luck! Anything to get yourself out of this hole you've dug yourself though right?So couple in Primera and couple in CL can't be 10 games?
It's so funny how you're trying to spin this around.
I've said because of his age and inexperience I'd opt for Jones but like i said you just read what you would want to read and not what's written.
Go ahead, amuse me even more
Do you need a bigger shovel?

Haha. Something I don't know about?
Looks good. We are signing some beautiful players. This is a Woody signing, no doubt. I can see Lindelöf posing with Blind for Calvin Klein underwear soon
You think this guy is good looking?
Going to vigorously tweet "Announce Lindelöf" the MUFC Twitter account.
He is back in Sweden and has apparently told Jacob's friend it's a done deal.
Much more ambitious option than Jose Fonte. Offers pace, aggressive attitude and many years of further development.
Mou got nose to fast, no bullshit defenders so also kudos to Ed for making the funds available in January if the deal already becoming reality.

Was Mourinho asked about this signing at the pre-match presser??
Fee is now 42m according to the Sun.
He'll be 32 years old by the time the January window is done as well.Fee is now 42m according to the Sun.
I think Lindelof could potentially play quite a bit at right back, if/when we come up against more physical sides. Who knows, Mourinho could Ivanovic him.
From what I've heard, he's pretty comfortable on the ball, has decent pace and has experience at right back.
Someone did mention earlier on the thread, I think it was @devilish, that Moruinho does like to convert a centre back to right back. Whether it's Lindelof or not, remains to be seen, but he certainly does like a back four with height.
With say a back four of say, Shaw, Jones, Bailly and Lindelof, we have a back four all over 6ft. Add to that Smalling and Rojo.

Yes you have a point, but I don't see Mourinho bringing through any one from the ranks. I know he has his priorities, and youth development isn't one of them. You correctly say we shouldn't start worrying about U-23s until they reach 22, but even so they usually get a chance to taste some first team football in the league cup. This league cup campaign is the first one i've seen without at least one reserve player on the bench, let alone the matchday squad
Oh, right. Mourinho does like to get all his business done early, so I guess the deal be finalised soon.
Looks like he can step into the midfield and start an attack. Looks like he would be a good fit, not a vidic in the air but hopefully he well get better.
I fecking hate watching youtube compilations of Centerbacks. So god damn boring
This is what I expect as well. He's Mou's new Ivanovic
Some of the "stepping into midfield" bit reminds me of Phil Jones for some reason.
I agree but with Jones it normally ends with a heavy touch, him then lunging for a tackle and then injuring himself. (I know he has been very good last months but still).
He surely isn't planning on playing him at RB - we have such a lack of quality wingers that we need very attacking full backs. If we have a CB at RB we lose Valencia as basically out only outlet on the right wing.
Maybe in some games but we're also being linked with that attacking RB, aren't we? I'd imagine Lindelof will primarily be a CB.
In some ways it's difficult to predict what Mou will do here based on what he did before as he already said he's trying to play a different profile of football here. Not sure a CB at RB fits that profile.
Surprisingly poor in the air! Lose more than 40 % of the "duels" in Portugal. Will get battered in England. But great composure.
I know it's only a YouTube compilation but he looks physical, decent on the ball and looks like he can initiate attacks.
Not too bothered about prices tbh. If Jose sees qualities in him (as he did with Bailly) then s'all good.
The ones trying to shoehorn him in at RB are just worried that Smalling is gonna get flogged. Lindelof can play on the left side of the defensive partnership, untill we get him only Rojo is comfortable there. That will mean we have 2 for each CB slot and one surplus.
Of course he is, a beautiful man
His girlfriend is decent looking as well. Probably a modell compared to what you have in England.

"Shots fired"
The last season of Lost was shit.
Given the conditions when he took over. I'm not surprised. At the end of the season, when he is more secure in the job, I expect it to change. This season his career has been on the line after the Chelsea debacle. So he will only turn to players he can trust and none risks like Rashford.
What about him does it for you ?
Always been a big fan of Lord Voldemort.
He's not coming to play at full back. Watching that video, he plays on the left hand side of the cbs. It'll be him and Bailly at the back.
Good. Get rid of Smalling, he can't even control a bloody football. Jones/Rojo have done well lately but wouldn't miss either if a decent offer came in.
I think in the summer we will get rid of one of Jones/Smalling.
Can't be surprised, we have become Shoehorn FC ii recent years. We'd even shoehorn a GK is given the opportunity.
