Fixed that. Don't know why people (person who did the picture) forget the existence of Romero (his announcement was at 1am on 27th July 2015 for completeness). Valdes was 6pm on 8th January 2015.Van Gaal
+ 2 (Martial, Romero)
~ 3 (Shaw, Rojo, Herrera)
- 8 (Depay, Schneiderlin, Darmian, Schweinsteiger, Blind, Falcao, Di Maria, Valdes)

Yup, and maybe I'm overly optimistic, but the way I see it, this season's CL should be a priority for us and each of the "big" teams remaining has holes. PSG has Emery and their massive European baggage, Real has struggled this season, Bayern don't look as strong and neither do Barca. We really should have a proper go at it and given it's a Cup, who knows?
Hoping for SanchezterUnited. We deserve that.Pogba's announcement hashtag was #Pogback. Wonder what Sanchez's will be?
Just hoping it won't be as cringe as Chelsea's Rudiger announcement. Actually nah, no one can out-cringe that.
Told you I'd be wrong!
Feels like we've been waiting forerver
No problem.Told you I'd be wrong!
Same, but amazing it was just about only 1.5 week. We waited 2 months for Pogba.Feels like we've been waiting forerver
Lukaku's deal seemed to be. The fasted one I'll say. Was done and dusted in a few days.

This is why i made up a random name instead of using the name of one of our players.........Or maybe the club will just announce Sanchez in the starting lineup against Yeovil.
Which means 5 more days..
Just saw that part when opening this page, and almost spat my coffee at the monitor.
My heart jumpedI've seen a lot of Barca this season and a couple of dodgy games aside, they've been pretty much normal for them. Obviously going out of the CdR was a blow, and Messi has been a bit up and down, but I'd still expect them to be there or thereabouts.
With Sanchez you'd expect his signing to give the players a massive lift though, as surely everyone wants to play with better players. If he gets off to a flyer, we'd have a chance I guess, especially with Bailly coming back, Lingard's form and (hopefully) Pogba keeping his more advanced role. Lukaku needs to get out of his mini-rut.
Yeah he can play in the CL. And I’m sure he’ll make his debut on friday. He hasn’t played in a while and it’ll be nice for him to get some time on the pitch.It is sanchez day today! .. oh i hope...
He is eligible for champion league am i right? also, i hope he plays on Friday FA cup
Twitter is all about Sanchez. Definitely the best January transfer in Premier League. Who ever decided to bring him in is a genius!
The first couple pages of this thread are quite funny now
The optimism!
Ian Reus and Kapardin, now you have to do it
I wear a sausage roll on my head when working.
Loving this transfer. ABUs coming up with pathetic arguments about greed, as if Saint Pep and his disciples do it pro bono. The transfer shows the ABUs that even after they sucked Pep's balls to a glossy finish, we still have a pull and they are hating it.
WELCOME TO SANCHEZTERPogba's announcement hashtag was #Pogback. Wonder what Sanchez's will be?

I don't think an announcement will ever usurp Pogba/Stormzy/OT Tea Ladies but i think the club must have something special planned for a signing of this caliber- i cannot wait for it all to unfold today/tomorrow.
All that seem’s to be holding this up is the Mkhitryan deal not being done and both clubs will want to announce at the same time. It would be a bit cheeky if we announced Sanchez “subject to Arsenal getting their finger out and sorting out the Mhiki deal”.
They do the work permits in Liverpool - looks like this is the nearest one to Manchester.

Its Old Hall Street if anyone's in the area. He'll probably arrive via the underground car park off Union street though.

subject to medical
Mata
Rojo
Blind
Depay
Schweinsteiger
Pogba (didn't say 'subject to medical' on twitter (different wording) but said Pogba was having medical on the website)
Lindelof (no twitter 'subject to medical' (different wording) but said it on the website)
Lukaku
subject to work permit
Bailly
no statement
Darmian
Di Maria
Falcao

The official site search is crap so might be a few more who said subject to medical but most signings (especially under Mourinho) haven't had it.
Sanchezter Day
48 hours then?
This thread is so big now and I am not sure whether the photo of him no 7 short has been posted. My apologies if it has been. Funny him taking a selfie

Felt Lukaku has been a lot better post-Dubai (lad did need a break) and am confident that Sanchez will really help him. Sanchez creates space, will draw out defenders and is much more aware than Rashford. Also, he's far more mobile, quick and brutal than Mata! I expect Lukaku's goal and assist count to rise! Giroud is far inferior to Rom, I'd say and he too has quite good stats on account of playing with Sanchez (and Ozil). We don't have Ozil, but with Sanchez coming in, Pogba hopefully stepping up another gear and Martial looking better by the game, am quite relaxed!

First one. Lets get it completed.
Today is the day, I can feel it
Just another 48 hours and Sanchez will be a United player
Well said. Respect for Juan, pleaseHe's 29
I think the swap element makes everything more sensitive - just the two clubs treating each other with respect over timing.
In any case, the announcement is for us, the press and the sponsors, not the club - the club already knows what's happening. For all we know, Woodward may be getting a bit of extra cash in by asking some of his favourite sponsors if they'd like to be in the background on one of the photos.
Called in sick today, gonna spend the day training my dog to hit F5.
Sadly I'm really not well but announcing Sanchez will go a long way trumping man flu

i agree with this. It's truly shocking how Arsenal deteriorated in the recent years.
Good man and he speaks sense.
Look fair play to AFC. They earn their own money, they have a long stay manager, who changed the British game. But over his tenure United have dominated. Even our laundry ladies, even our muppets, are in a different stratosphere to theirs. Read this thread, and show us the equivalent Arsenal one?It's true we don't and we are quite a far way off that but so are United.
Let's talk when United make top four consistently for a few seasons
Cheers @Dante
Aw, he has earned our appreciation - him and Keano were the steely athleticism in that SAF sideLegend....errr
And some more flights to trackTravel back out of Manchester?
We've got some more time to go lads
Another perspective here, apologies if already posted.

At least it focuses on the football aspect rather than the financial.
Just to balance out some of the muppetry, it highlights some of my own reservations about the move. I don’t care about the financials. Even the cynic in me would say the financials are a great advertisement for the club - that we pay the best salaries going. We’ll turn the heads of all the best players in the world.
Anyway, back to football, I do think Sanchez could be infuriating at times. He’s a bit like Giggs in that when he’s good he’s awesome, but he also frequently cedes possession and misplaces passes, by the very nature of the risky inventive game he plays.
I just hope our fans cut him some slack. He’s not a possession bot. He doesn’t always choose the safest option. And he frequently tries things that won’t come off. If you can accept this and are happy to take the rough with the smooth, then he certainly won’t disappoint.

Saying as nearly everyone on here wanted Van Gaal sacked for forcing players to be possession bots, I think being the opposite, a risk taker will go down well.
