Thanks Woody!
Seen a couple of things from ITK accounts but could someone summarise where we’re at with this?
Is an announcement meant to be happening soon? Anything been said about the shirt number?

All thats really been said on Twitter is that the medical has been done, and the announcement will be 'very sooo', possibly tomorrow.
Havent really seen much about the squad number other than Cavani getting 21 with James leaving, leaving way for Ronaldo gettiog 7. Whether the PL will allow that, who knows.
Its a damn shame its looking like we wont be getting a CM this season. Ronaldo is only here for 2 years (3 if all goes well) and IMO we cant win the league withough a good CM this season, whohc would mean one of Ronaldo's 2 seasons is wasted in a sense.
Will his son be enrolled in our academy?
Thanks
"The most intelligent player I have seen in my life". That's pretty high praise from Keane considering how many great players he played with.
Could not agree more.
Ronaldo won't stop until Keane replies.
Have the allegations against him been refuted, or did he settle it out of court?
Criminal case was dropped three years ago, civil suit ongoing as per what I last heard.
Arnautovic changed his jersey from 27 to 7 after the season started, when the player wearing the #7 left, and PL allowed it.
It will be the same for Cavani shifting to #21, and Ronaldo getting the #7.

All I was watching during that clip was the excruciating pain it was causing Souness.
15 million paid in 5 years. Wow.
He shouldn't have cost anything in transfer fees.
Why?
When was the last time a contracted player was sold for free?
That is a stunning deal 
Do you think we'll sit on the official announcement until later on this evening?
I think we are holding off the announcement until the number issue is sorted.
He's not going to like it one bit. Teams have taken the new rules as license to kill.
Because they were desperate to get him off their wage bill.
That's why they sold him for cheap. It's not like Sanchez deal where they had shit player on massive contract. He was top scorer in Serie A and still a goal machine.
I dont understand media folks who say we "didnt need him, doesnt make sense" etc. Our only strike options were Cavani and Martial. Cavani cant play 2 games in a week, and will be gone for stretches due to international duty/injuries, and Martial is horribly off form. We needed a proper #9.
We signed Zlatan when he was 35 and he was fine in the PL. Christiano will be the same. Yes he is a short-term signing, but so was Cavani or Thiago Silva, and didnt see any pushback from media on that one either.
Sounds like some people are scared.

Pretty fantastic deal for us, but i wonder why we structured it like this. It doesnt give me hope of a surprise midfielder coming in today.
Do unto the Italians as they would do unto you". A loan with an option to buy is the only missing variable for it to be an Italian deal.
Spreading transfer fees over multiple years (no matter how small the fee) is standard practice in football.
James Rodriguez to Everton
Yes but that's just accounting, not cash flow. Here the cash flow is also spread for 5 years.
Just noticed the Manchester United Instagram account has increased the amount of followers from ca 42m to 46m after Ronaldo was announced. The transfer pays for itself
Cashflow is also pretty standard, albeit maybe not over 5 years.
Glazer's are in 7th heaven.Just noticed the Manchester United Instagram account has increased the amount of followers from ca 42m to 46m after Ronaldo was announced. The transfer pays for itself
Yeah that's the point. They are paid in installments but not over 5 years. We pay 3 million per year for 5 years which is nothing.
The fact we're paying the fee over 5 installments actually gives me some hope of a midfielder being brought in.
Fair enough, I read your post as meaning transfer fees are not paid in instalments at all.
