Marcos Rojo

Apparently we've made a 20 million euros bid for him.

Why in the world would we try & buy him for the same money that Blind is available for?

Looked a lot better at left back / left wing back than centre back in the World Cup. Although obviously you'd be wary of buying players off the back of their performances in a tournament alone.

The chap making the claim that we have bid for him...

Jan Hagen ‏@PortuBall 6m

If you'd asked me if I wanted Rojo at my club as a starter, I'd say no. In my opinion not good enough for a top club. €20m is way too much.

Jan Hagen ‏@PortuBall 3m

Marcos Rojo is far better(or less of a risk) as a full-back than centre-back. He don't seem to understand how to mark or position himself.

O Jogo and Record both are reporting it...

Baron, it is 20m euros, Ajax are asking for 22m pounds for Blind.

I feel this is a ploy from Sporting to get southampton cough up more money...

slightly worrying we're trying to nick southamptons transfer targets

Marcus Rojo ffs. Sounds like some made up @#%&! off Pro-Evo.

I bet he's £#%&!ing shit.

Edit: He played in the WC Final. Oh.

Again...

Record also reporting the same...

Despite the absence of Manchester United in European competition when Marcos Rojo noted the interest of the red devils (last Friday), the Argentine did not hesitate to communicate with leonine leaders who spent their desire for immediate change to Old Trafford. However, their absence from the meeting with the National Montevideo was due solely to a tactical option by Marco Silva.

The multipurpose Albiceleste defense did not refuse to play and even made a point to play against Sporting Gijon in the first game of the Teresa Herrera Trophy. However, the decision is made: Manchester may be the fate of the sweater 5 Sporting.
