Awwwwwwwwwww. Oh well. This is still an excellent signing so there is still hope - But this deal did have impostors last year so I think it's fair not to get over eager.

If it wasn't happening, it'd have been pooh-poohed by someone on the Bilbao side of things, especially with what happened last time and a number of fans now expressing their anger. This time around it seems everything was done fine to make sure it 100% went through.
 
Daft stats - Carrick's 9 "firsts" include "Dispossed by opposition", "Lost posession" and "was dribbled"!

Whats the problem with those? Carrick was least Dispossed, thats a positive thing, was least to lose posession and was the least amount of players running past him. Those help you appreciate a players strengths and weakness'.

And of course, having a lollipop shoved in his face while sleeping.

Jesus, himself and Hernandez will be battling it out in the baby face department, that's for sure. He looks around 12. :lol:
 
I think United is really looking for as much coverage and attention to this signing to show their intent to the world and other players. My guess is that it will be friday, as it has no world cup matches.

No offense to Herrera, as I think he'll be a good signing but he's hardly a signing which will show intent to the world

To the world of football it will. I don't know if you are just following the Premier League, but he is a great player and a player that will be a regular for Spain for years to come.

I kind of wish I had your view on Herrera though, because you are in for one hell of a suprise. Like signing him twice.
 
For me he is just decent, and quite possibly light weight to play in the EPL.

Paying nearly 30 million for a talented spanish midfielder (with most reports suggesting that we're now going to focus on signing another midfielder to compliment him) is definitely a statement of intent.

Everyone knows this is our main weakness and we look set to fix it this summer, at last (touch wood and all that).

Who cares what the world thinks? It is all about what he can do on the pitch. Great addition both ability and character wise.

He was one of La Liga's best midfielders this past season, and is a young player with lots of room to grow. Is also better than any of our current midfielders. He's not Iniesta but he is a good, quality midfielder. And you don't have to be Yaya Toure's size to be a good player in the EPL.

I don't care what the world thinks, I was responding to your man who was claiming it's a signing which shows intent to the world. Like I said I am very happy with this transfer, I am just stating that it will not suffice, we still have many areas to address and that still includes another midfielder who is at least on Herrera's level if not better.

I don't get this obsession with all this lightweight bullshit. Mata, Oscar, etc, are all as skinny/lightweight as they come yet they dance around defenders bullying them left right and centre scoring goals and assisting.
