Maybe we had to fire the whole PR department to fund the £180m transfer, so we're not going to announce him and he'll just show up against Yeovil

Malaysian/Indonesian/Singaporean?Quite contrary to @VanGaalEra , my username has meaning van gaal is failure. So it just a testament for my dislike to LVG, bad taste i guess.
Re the ever increasing wage claims from the journos, will everyone please stop biting? They're trolling to feck for the response. Just ignore it.
They're doing the same with Chelsea and these strikers. No leaks, just taking trying to outdo eachother for a response.

It's 900k per week
Imagine earning £1,100,000 per week to play for the new Liverpool.
Getting 19m a week to play for the rich man's Stoke
Take those rose tinted glasses off. He's 31.
Keep up, the official tweet announced 'Alexis' forty-eight hours ago.Added a "Tweets containing the word "Sanchez" by @ManUtd" column to my Tweetdeck a week ago. Still no new tweets
Feck off we're paying all this money for a player who retired last year
ANNOUNCHEZ
Quite odd as that is the exact opposite MO of our last few signings.
I mean, to not just announce all the media stuff because he has to find a permit office outside Manchester is just stupid. It's an alteration to a permit, i seriously doubt there are any issues.
Probably nothing to do with the paperwork. Maybe Arsenal haven't done everything for their side of the reveal. Jose wasn't around yesterday so he hasn't taken a picture with him yet. Basically there are a lot of things that could be delaying it.
On the wages thing, Those papers know putting out stories like that brings them clicks. Just ignore them and they will stop appearing.
Whilst swapping Mkhi who recently turned 22 and has his entire prime ahead of him.
Yet none of the ABU journalists seem to be commenting on how 31 is incredibly young for a 33 year old. He’s a freak of nature.
SSN said he's expected to be announced this afternoon.
Anyone know where the nearest Work Permit updation office is from Manchester?
I'm all for this signing, but paying him 1.3 mill a week seems a bit excessive
I guess United and Arsenal have agreed to do a simultaneous announcement? Has Miki completed his medical?
Sir Alexis Sanchez
The United twitter needs to tweet a counter.
Starting a 0 and going up to a million. And then it says hes here.
Then the next tweet announces Sanchez.

Haha got an appointment first so not in for a couple of hours! Hopefully it’s announced before I go inDon’t get fired for being on your phone too much!
I did see someone (possible news of the world) commenting about the extra cost we will incur by supplementing his state pension. What do the other clubs in the league do to help the elderly? Nada.
How stupid. Two giant clubs in Manchester and they can't even get work permits in the city. Surely MUFC and MCFC should be coming together and giving the government some money to set one up?
I wish!I think all the interviews and stuff have been done last night. Most prob doing all the editing and finishing touches, then later in the afternoon will announchez.
Wage figures just get pulled from nowhere despite all the 'strong' rumours I reckon his basic wage is more like £375k a week which still makes him by far the best paid player at United and maybe still the best paid player in the Premier League. It'll be bonuses that can and will push it over £400k a week, but I think most of it is bullshit. They're on a feck tonne of money but not to the level all these nothing news articles are reporting. Just want clicks, because it's United.

Like Scholes in 2013!
The club are probably finalising all of the marketing material for the announcement, which makes sense, as this will be a great commercial opportunity for the club.
They will not prematurely announce it just to appease us muppets.
He's training at carrington? I'm starting to think the first we'll know of him signing for us is when he runs out the tunnel.
Nearest work permit office is Liverpool or Sheffield.
Yeah they should definitely set up an office for about 3 jobs every 2 or 3 years.

That’s a much more practical solution than driving 30 miles.
Nah, no training until tomorrow. The players were given a few off days after Burnley.
Sanchez Salary finally revealed!
With 1000x more media attention. I still remember that game, I missed the build up and the first 5 minutes and then we brought Scholes on out of nowhere. Confused feck out of me.
1.4 million a week is a bit much though...
Or after that, just tweet like normal.
"Smalling speaks about the FA CUp and what it means to him"
"Read about youth player x"
"We are happy to announce... We love this game"
Just trolling tweets until Friday lol.
To appease our impatience?
