Javier Manquillo (now playing for Celta de Vigo)

Has he? I can't remember Yedlin saying he wants to leave

Relying on Nixon. Jesus.

Must have missed that

Can't see him going back to the US after his recent comments

Good deal tbh. Hopefully a takeover happens and we upgrade the position with Manquillo competing or a squad player.

Great stuff.  Sound player.

2 baffling decisions this one and the Carroll one.

Agreed.

Get the feeling this season was a one off and he will go back to been shit in the near future.

He was decent in the back end of last season under Rafa too. If Bruce remains, maybe.

He's improved over the last year. Not against this move.

He's basically been good ever since he's been played in his proper position, rather than left back

Aye he’s been canny for a while.

4 years? It's obvious. Rafa wants him part of the project post-takeover then. 

Happy with this. He’s a good player.

Was shocked at the 4 year deal. Was expecting a 2 year, 3 at most. He has earned it though. Definitely our most consistent performer at RB. Glad he is sticking around.

Has there been any word on who is advising them on the football side?

Watching this, I'd never think Spanish wasn't Dan King's first language, like: https://www.nufc.co.uk/nufc-tv/latest-videos/javier-manquillo-after-the-three-years-ive-spent-here-already-of-course-id-like-to-stay-for-longer/

Usually, Popeye The Sailor Man.

Consistent sort, no problem with him signing a new deal but I can't help thinking his agent has took advantage of our limbo with 4 years, done well for his client I suppose.

Think of it another way. As a backup fullback for 2-3yrs with the likelihood he won’t cause trouble in the camp when he’s in a supporting role but give it his all when called upon it’s possibly not the worst contract handed out if the wages (I’m guessing) are modest. Then sell him and recoup something that you’d of lost letting him go for free.

He’s got a few years to improve too. He could peak at 28-29. Spending his early years at A.Madrid, Liverpool & Marseille, then spending a couple of years under Rafa must be coming to fruition now. Think he’s turned into a good mid-table Premier League right-back.

I really used to dislike him, but he turned a corner last season and has continued along the same lines. Can't complain about this at all.

This gets overlooked far too often for me. Yes, he was very ordinary on the left, for at least three or four months from memory?

He's been consistently good since playing on the right. Sure, he's made errors that led directly to goals, but he's more reliable than Yedlin and more... everything than Krafth

So what happened to this guy?

He was the first choice right back at start of season. Got his new contract and everything and seemed to have won alot of people over and then vanished? Another who spoke out of turn to Bruce and got hit with the "long covid"
