@MellyMaestro: Pleased to have some back ups and obviously is aware of why he’s here. The goalkeeping unit seem pretty close knit so he should fit in well!

@UnitedLeeds_1: Better than Kiko Casilla.

@Andrewmudge: Welcome lad, get your head down, with our injury luck you'll get your chance.

@RWbielsa: It seems like he understands what he has been brought in for, which is great to see. Massive respect to him for coming in to help Meslier & Klaesson.

@Sinixsterra: Already better than De Gea.

@Harteandsoul: One of those signings that you can't find much wrong with. Got a while left in him, has plenty of experience, won't mind being back-up & should be able to step up when needed. Happy days.

@WhitesHearts: He knows what he’s been brought in for which is good, decent backup who can mentor our young lads.

@Jackbunclark: Great signing, will push Illan Meslier for the number one spot and is well proven.

@MrROSSii1990: Can he do a job at left back?

@LucasSkelton7: Smart signing that, well done Victor.

@Lufc1919MOT93: Good signing, welcome to Leeds – now a left back please, then a striker.

@MGLUFC: Good but should have happened 18 months ago.

@KarenSearle12: Free transfer… good call... now dig deep into them pockets and get us a world-class striker and left-back.

@Kevtrav93: We’ve made some very solid signings this window, just a striker now and I’m happy.

@RealLordGreen: Really smart signing this. Now sign a left back.

@LUFCzxch: Play him at left back.

@Marcyeboah: Solid keeper to backup Meslier. Now we need a left back and centre forward.
