obviously I meant EL.When was the last time Bilbao were in the Champions League?
He's obviously got stuck talking to Paddy, hasn't he?
Fellaini will shine when he comes back from the world cup, I tells ya!
I just want to see the pictures of him officially signing now! Its frustrating.
He's not Tier1 and that's exactly what I worry about....enough with these Tier 2/3 'maybe will come good one day' 'potential' players like A.Young (who I didn't rate at all either!).
Let's get some Tier1 world class talent.
If he's being bought as a squad player and to beef up numbers then I totally agree.

In my opinion, currently he should be. That squad was based on reputation, not on their current ability. He has more energy, directness and is more of a threat than alot of the players in that squad. He'll go on to prove that when he joins us, I'm sure of it.
He's not Ashley Young, lets not be silly.. he is more than good enough to play for the top sides.
I'd happily see Rooney in that CM spot in the first formation if we don't sign another midfielder. He could alternate between a midfield and second striker. He's good at tracking back. Either that, or Mata in the CM spot and an actual winger on the right wing.
If we close this deal I will pop the bubbly!

PI believe with what he brings to the CM, he is a tier 1 talent to us as he is exactly what is needed by us in the centre of the pitch.
When was the last time Bilbao were in the Champions League?
Yeah, thought so too. He's seen Herrera in CL, interesting.
Have to wait for US stock market close.
Maybe I'm too skeptical, feck me, if he was at Carrington (and for a few hours given the time that's elapsed), then why isn't there any picture of him there ?
Loudblaze you do have a point there. Many Spanish/ Latin players struggle to adjust to the physicality of the Premier League (atleast initially). We saw the effects on De Gea who was frankly taken by surprise at the intensity of the game. That said a few months on United's diet/ weight program (that transformed Ronaldo/ De Gea/ Januzaj from weeds) will work wonders for Ander.
Im sure it will!
Paddy Crerand is trying to sell him a time share in Majorca apparently
Probably because he's never played in it..
It doesn't say much considering he's not your typical 'Spanish' player and doesn't fit their style of play. Isco wasn't in it either and before Ancelotti changed to 4-3-3 he was one of Madrid's best players behind Ronaldo, doesn't mean he's any less of a player because he wasn't selected. Not to mention Gabi who was one of the best in the league.
Paddy has probably scared him off back to Spain.

If you go by his performance levels, statistically he is the 20th best player in La Liga.
cause 90% of UK journalists are in brazil or cause the club have done an exceptional job hiding it
What's your opinion of Gabi? He also failed to make Del Bosque's 30 man squad after all. I thought he had a pretty good season though.
Likewise Isco for that matter...
Woody has him hidden well I reckon. He probably dressed him up as Ashley Young to avoid any attention.
Bayern paid the asking price for Martinez too but remember how that transfer was dragged and made difficult for Bayern by Athletic?
Woody deserves credit here,
Yeah I also watched all of his games in the Champions League and thought he was bang average.
World Cup, Wimbledon, England's useless cricket team... United signing someone only football nerds have heard of isn't really a priority for English sports journalists, right now.
I've watched a few games of him this and last season but I'm just gonna pretend I haven't, as he was shit in most of them. Would postpone my judgement for after I see him in a red shirt.
Same, he just never shows up for those big European CL nights.
Would I be right to assume that Vidal or Pogba are Tier 1 for you?
Yes, finally a good CM. Not a bad start Woody.
At Carrington already?

Mata was announced at 9:30pm, could we be seeing confirmation at around that time again?
Could even be before that, after these first two World Cup games are finished.
Err as per my previous posts, I meant EL!
I'd say 9PM. Give or take about 11 seconds.
Probably! I don't see the point in them announcing it any later than today. Deal must be done for him to be at Aon Training Complex (had to be done).
Carrington is closed off. Only time photo could be taken would be of him arriving there and leaving, depending on how he got there and which entrance (if there are two, I've only ever seen James Cooper outside the one)
Definitely.
