See the stock price is down, wonder if it'll shoot up on the announcement or if traders aren't happy at our spending.
they were warned months ago on an investor call that we were going to spend big during the summer
What news?
Yea, http://www.worldtimezone.com/markets24.php
Though I think that NYSE-transfer announcement thing was debunked as a myth?
Stock prices probably already reflect to a certain extent the expectation that the club will spend. I imagine it won't actually have a massive impact on the stock price. And also since the fee is agreed, any impact of the transfer will most likely already have been incorprated into the stock price.
Really? Fair enough, must have missed that.
Most probably.
What's the bloody hold up?
I think they're obliged to make public any significant news which can have a material affect on the share price. Would have thought this fits the bill. Don't think there's any obligation to wait until the exchange is open to do so, mind you.
SSN have been running the same shit for the past three hours. He is at the training ground and more details on the way.
Van Gaal is probably showing him the new trees...
What do you want them to do, storm the gate and demand to see Di Maria and Woody?
It'll happen when it happens.
Yeah it goes back to the Mussolini era where he wanted to use football as a means to rise to and consolidate power. They had a policy of 'oriundi' whereby they poached foreign players and nationalized them as Italians. They did this to Argentinian players Luisito Monti, Raimundo Orsi and Enrico Guaita. In fact Argentina in 1934 sent a weak team to the world cup in Italy, in fear of Italy poaching their best players. Italy won the World Cup that year rather controversially. However, after 1966 they stopped this policy due to an abysmal performance in the tournament and banned foreign players in the Italian league till 1980. The most recent Argentinian oriundi case is Camoranesi who won the world cup with Italy in 2006.

Not sure if Di Maria is related to this but sure there must be a link somewhere with his relative or something.
Can you verify @Marcosdeto. You did make a post about Di Maria being your brother and that you are now responsible for him didn't you
yep, according to the sports paper "ole" Di María has an italian passport
here's the link:
http://www.ole.com.ar/futbol-internacional/Espana-Real_Madrid-Di_Maria-Mourinho_0_268173256.html
here´s the phrase where it's said that
"Di María tenía todo arreglado con el equipo español. El zurdo de 22 años tiene pasaporte italiano, por lo que no ocuparía plaza de extranjero."
here´s the translation
"Di María had everything set with the spaniar team. The left legged of 22 years old has an italian passport, so he doesnt occupy a foreign place"
he is not my brother, if he fails, it's van gal's and di marías fault only!
I'm sure it's only the last few years transfers have become this drawn out! It's the Jim White effect!
Welcome Angel!
Faaaake
SSN: Di Maria has left the training ground
Has now left the training ground.. surely only a matter of time now?
When does the photography session take place? I thought it was right after the medical?
You're wasting your time. Go do something productive and help the GDP of your country.
No, really.
He has left the training ground, the club photographer was seen entering a hotel in Manchester with a shirt tucked under his arm, if you have not got your cock out yet then now is the time.
Any minute now...
I'm saying 4pm
He's left the training ground. It's over. He's surely going to PSG now. Or City. He obviously saw Tom Cleverley training and thought he'd rather hang about with James Milner.
Yesterday's close was the highest we've been since the beginning of August. Just looking at normal daily fluctuation. Might expect a small bounce on an announcement - just a result of reminding investors that we exist.
I'm gonna say half five announcement with MUTV's exclusive interview at six.
15:30 it will be announced
It's going to happen.
Thanks Ed!
Btw, what is the feeling seeing him leave, in general?
Knowing our luck he's probably already on his plane to Paris right now.
Not too bothered yet strangely, this will probably change once I see him playing for you guys though.
Btw, what is the feeling seeing him leave, in general?
Others are guessing, why not me?
No one reply to this thread until you have official pics. We can't let @Vato be right!
Wait that was a guess? Shit you got me all excited.
