Go to bed, us Aussies have the night shift. He won't be announced till mid morning at the earliest, likely sunday. That's even if he has left arsenal squad over night.

Reporting in for Aussie shift.

Aussie checking in. UK brahs, we got it from here.
All right, we’ll leave it to you Aussies. Take care and have a good shift. Womp, watch your tagline for me will you?
 
Couldn't sleep, so got out of the bed to check, nothing. Is that normal? I think so, quite sure it is. Never mind.
Back to bed. I need my beauty sleep.
Aussies, if something happens, do wake us up, will ya? Have fun.
 
I’m across the other side of the world so can wait it out a number of hours before I call it a night.


...however, someone let Wenger know how the feck time works. First he says 48 hours, then 24 hours, and now what seems like a ticking time bomb. Either know what the feck your talking about or don’t talk at all ffs :mad::lol:
 
Some daytime joy would be a nice change for us Aussies, we have a rough time of it here with Man Utd and timezones. The Burnley game is at 2am.

I imagine in the next 4-5 hours, the credible journos will wake up and we will get the truth on alexis leaving the hotel and whether in the arsenal squad or pulled out.
 
:lol: go to sleep!
Go to sleep guys. I'll be the only one awake when it broke. :lol:
No! Paz will be awake!
Welcome to the awaken posters camp then. :lol:

As for Sanchez, fact that the United shop has allowed fans to customize Alexis shirts pretty much all but confirms we’ve got this locked up.

I remember when we were in on Pogba the club shop denied fans from purchasing Pogba shirts prior to an official announcement. But they did eventually ease up when it was leaked on social media he was ours and fans got shirts a day or so before the official introductory. Using similar logic, I don’t see why the club would randomly give the green light for the official shop to sell Alexis shirts if they didn’t know 100% the transfer is in the bag. It’s got to be just a matter of time at this point especially with how Wenger + Mourinho have pretty much confirmed it will happen.

Adidas shop in London btw
 
oh interesting. Well I've moved to Canada (obviously) a few months ago, so keep getting drip-feed lessons by my colleagues nowadays.
I try and go to a Raptors game on and off.
The yanks do sport so much better than us tbh (i.e. compared to going to watch a PL game IMHO), much more fanfare!

Being into NBA and PL works out beautifully since the times never overlap
 
Have a strong feeling now it will be announced before the Burnley game, perhaps at 11am or something

Watch this space!

If he's actually left the hotel, i agree.

If not, likely a Saturday night / Sunday morning announcement.
 
Still can't really believe we are *hopefully* pulling this deal off!

You couldn't get a deal this good on FIFA or FM never mind in reality.
Na, I always sign Sanchez and Ozil on a free in FIFA, I feel like I’m an expert now from all the interactive transfers I have completed. I would have got Sanchez across the line in a two minute chat on 180k a week. Woodward should feel ashamed :lol:
 
been up since 3am cleaning up dog poo, the new puppy doesn’t seem to get that he has to wait till the morning and not just shit in the floor and tread it all over the room. The very houseproud mrs isn’t impressed one bit.

My theory is though that he is as excited as everyone else. Probably heard a helicopter overhead in the night and immediately thought it was Sanchez on his way to Old Trafford, a true full kit wanker showing. Then he just shit himself with excitement and his tail must have wagged so hard it went everywhere. I can picture it now in slow motion with a shower if shit coming down in him without a care in the world. Me walking in the room holding my nose whilst cleaning up the shit with my old Mkhitaryan shirt with him continually shitting and pissing with excitement as the Mkhitaryan shirt gets shittier and shittier until you can’t see it anymore. His name is Barkley and he is 10 weeks old, is it too late to change his name to Sanchez?

Barkley?! Why do we give dogs human names but not cats?

From the sounds of it your wife would call him Dirty Sanchez.

Really? I've had cats called Marley, Eric, Robin & Persie.

I thought this would have been sorted in time for Burnley but hopefully the threat of it happening soon should give our attackers a bit of encouragement to play for their shirt today. I fear it could be a difficult game and we really need to get some momentum going.
 
about to hit 6 am in the UK. I'd imagine in the next few of hours we should get a credible clarification on Sanchez's location from Orny
 
Doesn’t the money (£35m a year in salary & sign-on fees) and players age (30 next season) completely take the shine off this deal? I’m not all sure Mourinho is respecting the financial stability of the club!
 
Hopefully he will be announced before the game today, can only imagine the meltdown from the muppets if this deal falls through because he gets injured playing for Arsenal today.
