Would trust Mourinho, especially when it comes to defenders. Wont struggle physically (looks like a beast) and is comfortable on the ball. Hopefully him and Smalling form a solid partnership at the back.
I guess Otamendi was bought for a similar price though and Mourinho generally gets Defensive signings spot on(well first team ones anyway) so I would probably trust that you have a solid player.
English clubs must be a bit of a laughing stock amongst sporting directors across Europe. Villarreal will have made an approximate 30mil euro profit on Bailly in less than 18 months after getting over £11M for Gabriel.
Ffs Januzaj was such a great prospect (still can be). In his breakthrough season the kid was destroying defences for fun. You know, for all his hype for bringing through young players, LVG is a proper mong when it comes to the stars. Sterling should be wishing to be as good as Januzaj right now if he developed properly.
Just hope the talent of Januzaj and Pereira don't go to waste because as a regular watcher of the United U21 football, these 2 definitely have enough talent to become world class players. It's disappointing that we are actually having to look for a RW now as it really should have been Januzaj's spot cemented ages ago (or even CAM). Januzaj, Pereira, Martial, Rashford, Memphis would be a scary prospect of forwards providing they all develop correctly.

I'm sure they are laughing while English clubs continue to be the richest clubs in the world
