"@mps03: further delay :( inbound Madrid flight now showing scheduled arrival at 19:50 #notonmywatch"

Looks reliable.
 
Thank god he flew in early this week, that Icelandic volcano just erupted and remember what happened last time? All European flights were cancelled for 1-2 weeks. Poor Barcelona had to travel by bus to Milan :lol:
 
It's raining so I've aborted it. I'm sure he's landed by now. It's typical Manchester weather here.
Compared to Ireland, I'm wondering how much rain Manchester gets. Is it worse than Dublin or better? Also, will he be announced after lunch then?

Actually Mcr's annual rainfall isn't nearly one of the highest in the country, there are plenty more wetter places to live according to the stats. It's an urban myth really. We do have a serious amount of overcast though
 
What a weekend! Woke up on Sunday with a cracking hangover and first thing I did was check the Caf to see whether there'd been any movement - whoever put that Breaking News banner up, what a legend, you know exactly how to float our boats!

Delighted by the impending signing of AdM - it addresses one of the key problem areas for the club, the other two being central defensive cover and a world class midfield player. Hopefully, our search for the latter will be aided by AdM's signing - say what you will, but it's a hell of a statement.

What I'm interested in is where will he play? On the one hand, it could be really exciting to see him and Adnan flanking RvP / Rooney, but that'd presumably leave Mata in the cold, unless we played two defensive players alongside Mata in a deeper position. The alternative seems to be playing AdM in central midfield - I know he did well last season in that role, but is it a viable long term option for us, or is it another square peg-round hole situation? Surely he won't play wing back...?
 
Transfers should go digital I think. Someone should create a program (Like FM) which allows clubs to bid for players online and other stuff.

That would probably then give people the chance to hack in and sign loads of players for us though :lol:

Knowing how many bullshitters are there, it's probably an old picture.
 
I swear the Caf is just going to be tracking his every move right from landing at the airport, what he eats for lunch, does a medical all the way until he signs on the dot.
 



This is the only one that might be genuine
 
Has anyone asked where he's going to play yet?

As I've only seen it asked about 23,000 times so far.
