Having drank a lot of Swedish beer recently I can tell you that this guy is exactly what we need.
Victor Lindelöf
- Thread starter FromTheBench
- Start date

It's probably Benfica's president.
Which beer?
He is seriously underrated. Will prove a top quality cb in his career.
Actually, having a nice round head means that he'd have the lowest surface area to volume ratio for headers.
For comparison:
Note the more quadratic shape of Keane's head, which adds +2 to heading prowess.
Working:
Early contender for the post of the year. Also an appropriate tagline is a must.
*opens untapped*
Omnipollo - Nebuchadnezzar
Dugges - Orange Haze
Omnipollo - Noa Pecan Mud Stout
Brewski - Mangofber DIPA
Stigbergets -West Coast IPA
Brewski - Pango IPA
Stigbergets - Amazing Haze
All excellent.
Thanks lad will give em a bash

Try simple mathematics:-
v+i+c+t+o+r + L+i+n+d+e+l+o+f = M+i+c+h+a+e+l + K+e+a+n+e
=> (22+9+3+20+15+18) + (12+9+14+4+5+12+15+6) = (13+9+3+8+1+5+12) + (11+5+1+14+5)
=> 87 + 77 = 51 + 36
=> 164 = 87
=> Victor Lindelof > Michael Keane ........ Hence Proved !
Swedish newspapers are reporting the following today:
News around this potential transfer is that a cut has been agreed by both parties but it's significantly less that 20%. The chairman of Västerås told an unofficial news agency for the team "I can not comment on the content of a possible deal. The fact that I want to confirm is that we had contact with Benfica."
So take from all that what you will. Sounds like something is going on if you ask me otherwise Benfica wouldn't have contacted Västerås.
- Manchester United expressed interest in Lindelöf last week.
- Västerås SK (his first club) are saying they're entitled to a cut of the transfer fee should he move to United, about £8 million (20% re-sale cut), which was written into his original contract.
- They have been completely ignored by Benfica because Lindelöf has since signed a new contract and they believe the original is now null and void.
- Västerås have contacted FIFA and will make a case if they do not receive 20% of the transfer fee, should he move.
- Benfica, this week, have begun talking with Västerås after completely ignoring them all season.

I'd never heard of Bailly prior to United signing him last year. Turns out he's a pretty good footballer. I'm willing to trust Jose's judgement on this one, if he thinks he's the CB we need to pair with Bailly. Lord knows we need strengthening at CB and having 2 aged under 24 would be a great foundation to build with for the forseeable future.
Jose knows a competent defender when he sees one.
I never heard of Vidic when we signed him, either.

That first 6 months we all thought Fergie knew nothing about him either. How wrong we were.
"Lindelof is theirs and while he remains theirs, he's theirs."
Ending with a smile. Suspicious

I could have sworn the exact same thing had been reported in January too.
What a crazy world we live in. £100 million buys you this nobody and the Dutch donkey Van Dick.
Could have possibly been but it's showing up in todays news. There was mention in the article from stuff that was said in December also with some stuff added today.
I came across this today, now i dont know how reliable it is and im not even sure if the writer is blacklisted. But for what its worth...

We usually are
Express are shite arent they?
Is that as amazing as it sounds?
No idea, just passing it on and its a portuguese paper they are quoting. So, it is what it is. I cant say one why or the other.
They're quoting A Bola so best ignore. O Jogo is the more reliable one (if there is such a thing). It's the same news that came out earlier today.

It is
This one sounds very much on with Mourinho's quotes about him. Probably our likeliest transfer at the moment.
Thanks mate. Glad you enjoyed.
I don't like him. And don't want him. We need defender who is good on ball also. He is the same type of defender like all others that we have. Pure strenght.
Only blind is different but i doubt that jose sees him as a first option

I haven't seen him in a 90 minutes match, but from what I have seen in clips and read, he does seem pretty good on the ball. That said, Bailly himself is also pretty reasonable on the ball compared to Jones or Smalling. In today's age, how many CBs are there who are both good on the ball and excellent defenders? The day of Nestas and Cannavaros are over, and CBs like Bonucci are not going to be for sale anytime soon. I think the most we can do is get CBs like Lindelof, trust Jose's judgement, and hope they develop in the best way possible.
That is known to be his strongest point.
I admit, i didn't watch benfica this season( except highlights) but what i saw is nothing special. Like baily for example.
I dont know, I like the kid and would love him here, I know Youtube compilations dont tell the full story but I like what I see and think he would be a great addition, seems likeable too for some reason
Needs to bulk up
Lets see what he brings, he's at a very good age, if he can defend well, has injury record that is very much sound, replaces jones who I expect will leave, that strengthens our defensive options with no injury prone record. Its an upgrade, getting wages off the list repaced for wages where money is spent well, instead of spending it with a doctor, when it should be on the pitch.
What is the problem? Some things you can see from highlights or clips. I didn't say anything about his defending. But hos touch is not so good. As i said i want some defender with excellent ball control. Like bonucci has. Or blind for example.
This chap is better than both interms of ability with the ball.
No he is not better than Bonucci on the ball, come on
Not seen much of him at all.
Looks from that compilation that he plays left side centre back which will compliment Bailly.
