I don't get why we've not announced officially that we've agreed a fee with Madrid..

We did announce it for Rojo that a fee was agreed for a transfer, subject to a medical and personal terms...
Why hasn't it been done in Di Maria's case if a fee is agreed..
 
I'm on a vacation with my family but can't help myself and looking at this thread the whole evening. What the hell is wrong with me. :)
 
Gone are the days of teletext. :lol: Refreshing twitter every 30 seconds, trying to read in between the lines of every quote and tracking flights with the possibility of a player being on them.

Because Sporting announced it, I think.
 
He has landed. He will go to Town have a meal with the lads and stay at the Hilton. Then tomorrow he will head to Carrington and Old Trafford for the medical and signing.

What will he eat?

You forgot Instagram being the most reliable outlet for transfer activity.
 
There are no flights that has landed from Madrid at Manchester Airport. Or they might only be showing commercial flights, not private planes? :)

Because we are trying to keep it a secret! And we have done such a good job of it that nobody was able to track his flight... Oh wait a minute.

Teletext was the dogs bollocks. News, results, lottery numbers, weather. You could find out anything. I miss them day.

:lol::lol::lol: This is getting more and more hilarious as the night goes on! Sh*t I hadn't thought about that. What will he eat? I mean they only serve English food in manchester don't they?!
 
Actually, if you look at their list of loanees, that seems to be their strategy. Buy up a ton of young talent, loan them out, and then sell the majority at a profit in a year or two.

Which at the moment works fine, as they bought good player's at high prices all before the monitoring periods began and are selling them for high prices afterwards. However now if they bought a 17 year old for £20m like they did with Lukaku, they'd be eating into their restricted transfer budget.

However how many more player's do you think they'll get a meaningful amount of £ for that isn't key to their plans (look through that loan list - can you see any £15-20m+ players?) The likes of Lukaku (£28m), De Bruyne (£17m), Mata (£37m) & Luiz (£45m) all paid for Costa, Fabregas , Willian, Schurrle, Matic, Luis (£125m in vs £125m out). From now on the only way they are going to be able to spend £50m+ in a Summer is by selling players that are seriously contributing to their success or by increasing their revenue ala United.

This is assuming that FFP has any bite of course, and that Abramovich doesn't manufacture several big money sponsorship deals as City have.
 
I've sent three units to the possible hotels he will be at, each unit consists of 5 men. There's also a couple on look out around the airport but they seem sure that he'll be taking a side exit.

Good. @iSparky would be impressed by the preparation and organisation.

:lol: Ok this is getting disturbing now!
 
Well caftards, we have gone from posting exciting tweets and stories - to discussing how he will be used in what formation - to tracking his flight - to trying to work out where he will he stay and what he will have for dinner.

I think we have well and truly gone insane.

Fixed.
 
His taxi will take him from the airport down the M56 and then onto the A5103 straight through to Deansgate where he will check in at the Hilton. He will go to his bathroom for a shower and get changed etc then head out for a quiet one with the lads.

Just leave the man in peace ffs.
