Seems a good player but they need a whole lot more if they hope to get back into the top 4, I thought that Dalot was brought in to solve the right back issue and they have a lot more pressing issues to address.

He's played a grand total of 46 games for Crystal Palace, and is known apparently as a brilliant last-ditch tackler. The cynic in me says that he would have to be able to do that, as he is managed by one of the most dour, defensive dinosaurs in the PL, namely Roy Hodgson, who sets his stall out to frustrate his opponents wherever and whenever possible.
The acid test is "what is the rest of his game like"? Fortunately (or perhaps not so fortunately), we have seen him recently when he stepped up to play for he under 21s.
It would be right to say that he can perform last-ditch tackles quite competently, but, in my opinion, that appears to be the extent of his talents. Going forwards (as most defenders are expected to do at the higher levels) seemed to be beyond him, as was his passing ability and positional sense. To crown his performance, he scored a last minute own goal by trying to clear with his "good" foot when his other (left) foot would have sent the ball AWAY from the goals.

As you may guess, I'm not impressed with him as a player, and certainly NOT as £50M player.
I may be (un)pleasantly surprised, though.

One of the best. Reminds me of one of my many ex girlfriends. She dumped me as per.
 
Anybody seen the media outrage about a Manchester club spending 50million on a defender?

Why should he get 250k per annum when I'm on less than half that before bonuses and not only am I better at my job than he is at his (and worth more to my company) but I'm probably better at his job too? I can give the ball away with the best of them.
 
They've done it again, Wan-Bissaka is being hailed as the next great player in the PL who is surely going to take the scum back to the top.

Every signing they make is the same according to the press, they must have the best scouts in the business. It's almost like when they ruined City by out maneuvering them for Sanchez, that one still stings...

Because your boss is not as stupid as Eddie 3 planks?
 
Yeah right........

Manchester United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward told staff in an internal email that the club plans to add more "exciting" players this summer following the completion of a deal for 21-year-old England defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka. (Sunday Telegraph)
