No. It literally means the ball sacks are to be exposed. We aren't at the full monty cocks out stage as yet.

things I didn't envisage saying....
he would have to play very well to keep Rojo out of the side

Or this could imply Rojo moving wide so that we don't need to sign another LB?
I never though i would have said that , but Blind looks to be a very good LCB except for his physical and aerial qualities, even better than rojo sometimes. Mourinho also must use him in DLP role sometimes during the season.
if he comes to OT, I hope the competition for LCB position will make Rojo better.
i thought people would actually know that by now. Depending on the fee, i think it's a good transfer. He has to work on his aerial game though
Zlatan sorta confirmed the whole thing some time ago and for that kind of price it's a no risk buy. Lindelof can easily play full season on highest tempo and would bury one of Jones or Smalling who simply can't keep themselves fit for real United standards.
If the story is untrue I'll be personally disappointed. We need tenacious defenders as we can be easily exposed in CL by way better oppo's strikers than in EL. Something needs to happen in that department anyway.

Tbh i've gone off Van Dijk a little due to the price and Im not sure about Keane. Lindelof seems to be the best option atm but I havent seen much of him at all tbh. Whats sort of CB is he and who would he be compared to in the PL?
He's playing tonight against France in the WC Qualifiers. I'll base his transfer solely on his performance vs Griezmann.
He doesn't exist, a mythical Benfica player created by the board for the popularity of their club stature.
Maybe I (we) have been spoilt by having someone like Ferdinand for so long but these all action defenders...
Can't beat one who is just in the right place, right time all the time who doesn't need all this last-ditch, desperate defending.
Lindelof looks like one of those types. Eventually poor positioning etc will catch them out.

He's pretty much the polar opposite to Vidic. Quick, good on the ball, poor in the air.
the vidic part was him being a warrior. he doesnt hesitate from going into tackles at the fear of his safety. then again neither does jones
This is the case of a boy who cried wolf.
No one believes this crap anymore.

He is not poor in the air at all, Instead he is a goal scoring threat in opposition box via headers.
Never cry shit-wolf.
Bring both keane and him in and get rid of smalling/jones... or both even. Bailly, keane, lindelof, rojo and blind is very good and reliable group of defenders.
'Average' would probably be a fairer description. He's certainly not good in that regard. He's a decent defender though. Stylistically, I think he'd make a better partner for Smalling than Bailly.
seems a no brainer for 30 mill
I don't know. For 30M it almost seems too cheap.
But someone on here said he was poor at it so it must be true.
Would you feel better if the price being reported was 40 million?
What a world we live in, when £30m is considered cheap
The end of hoofball?
Is this reported by anyone else than Portguese media, a.k.a. someone who doesn't just make stuff up out of thin air?
More than Jose- when it comes to defenders, our scouting has always been top notch. When was the last time we signed a defender and failed ?
Lol? Why? Bailly cost £30m last summer.
Not sure if posted, but an article on why Lindelof will be a good addition to our squad

That's too cheap.
This guys reads the game really well from what I have seen, can pass pretty well, with strength and good aggression. Better version of Blind in my opinion.
Jose himself mentioned that Rojo at LB and CB are like two different players. I doubt we will see him again at lb apart from maybe when left with no choice.
I think his vale doubled after this season. He's worth VVD money at least.
A shit leopard can't change its shit spots.
jones, damian...shaw to a degree. Blind I can't ever see turning into a top top centre half on the level of Rio / Vidic / Terry etc.
But I also trust Jose's judgement on defenders and that's been proven with Bailly so if he's in for Lindelof then i'm looking forward to him joining
