This is so funny, it feels like we all missed the official memo of him being signed
 
Scholes Carragher Le Tissier and others have done it with no action. Seem a ridiculous rule.

Those players retired with the approval of their FA, they did not receive convocations when they decided to retire. And the rule isn't ridiculous it is to protect NT from clubs who could otherwise strong arm players into not leaving for international games and tournaments or just pay them a little extra to not be international players.
 
Im scared that after the offside rule change that sweeper keepers will be less effective..
 
I can see it now, tour press conference the media start hounding Erik about David De Gea, Onana just walks into the room and sits down. No announcement boom.
 
Tbf this is pretty hilarious. Were all aware that he's signed, probably done his photo ops, he's literally on a plane to link up with the rest of the squad and we've had no official announcement.

Thought the rule was thrown out with Platini?
But no one has actually been reprimanded because of this has there?
Absolutely Loads of players have refused to play for their countries with no issues.
 
Don't know which he will take,was convinced Mount would take 19 so Varane finally got his 4 but didn't happen
Yeah mate they won’t let us have Onana with #1 or #24 so just going to save it until we sr whack for the preseason game in a few weeks and do it then

Probably because his registration hasn't been transferred yet.
 
Why is it still not announced when he’s already flying to NYC to join the pre-season tour?

Submission of paperwork to the League, confirming the transfer on TMS with FIFA, editing of photos and videos, all can take time...but yeah they could have been a bit more subtle with him in the airport :lol:

I like the total madness of that,we aren't thinking about press photos but just get him on a plane out to join the squad asap
 
What is the in-flight meal?

Looks like he'll have complimentary champagne to start with. No word on the meal but it will be a hot one. He also has access to a full bar with beverages and snacks.

Its an interesting part of the United marketing/social media strategy. Other big teams would do a video from the moment he landed, even clips as he is doing the medical etc. I wonder why United dont do this, surely it would increase engagement numbers.
 
You can watch him take off as there is a live stream on YouTube. I can't post media, just search for Simon Lowe Aviation on YouTube.

I worked on the T2 Transformation Project, and for my lunch I'd go up to the old ATC Tower and just watch planes take off and land for a full hour.

That would be a great job, I regularly either watch a bit on YouTube or go to Southside viewing which where he is filming from and then go to the airport pub.
