'A sensible move' or 'very underwhelming'? Fans on Santos

[BBC] [Getty Images] We asked for your views on whether expected Manchester United arrival Andrey Santos is a good signing who will improve Michael Carrick's midfield. Here are some of your comments: Dale: My concern is that if he is any good, why would Chelsea sell him - and, secondly, sell him to a rival? Fred: Not what anyone was calling for. He is a player supposedly with Premier League experience, but he has clearly had very little of it. I hope we don't leave our midfield overhaul at this and sign a world-class one to bolster the starting XI. Mark: It could be the unexpected signing that works. Not the sexy name or player who yourselves and other media outlets had been briefed on, and Chelsea have made a profit. Not seen much of him as I rarely watch other Premier League teams unless they play United. Unfortunately, he was sacrificed at Old Trafford last season after the Roberto Sanchez sending-off and got injured in first 20 minutes at Stamford Bridge. Therefore, I can't judge him till he has played several games in a United shirt. Mike: Santos is a sensible move for the longer term and financially. He is still young enough to show a lot of development potential, which will add financial value to a future sale. I know a lot of fans are wanting a proven big name, which comes at a higher price and higher wages... I feel this move makes more sense. Matt: Two very underwhelming signings to replace Casemiro so far. We need a midfielder with more experience and know-how rather than unproven players with 'potential'. Arif: I am cautiously optimistic. He is a player with bags of potential, but will probably need someone more established to dampen the expectation on him that might ruin his fledgling career. I would still like us to sign a more established one, with preferably huge Premier League experience. Could be Tomas Soucek.
