The muppets are going to need to invest in Jizzles if this is confirmed.

Good to see although inevitable .Will that be cheque book closed now.
Ya, no value in the market and all that.
Ok, so lindegaard gets number 1, de Gea gets number 29 and Amos gets 34? Ok
Why should it?
If only the "We have no GK" thread from last week wasn't closed 
Fergie said 3 signings, Jones didn't factor into that 3, so I still think there's 1 left. Probably a full back if Brown/O'Shea go as expected, but I'm sure most of us are hoping for a CM. We'll see.
I bet he signs on Friday #psychic
One class CM and we're ready for the new season
Very excited about having this lad join us.
Why did you feel the need to put a # in your sentence?
Great to see him finally join us!
Exciting times ahead - looking forward to seeing him in goal next season.

Fergie said three signings about two weeks before Scholesy announced his retirement as well. Whether he was still hopeful of keeping him then I don't know.
De Gea
Young
Varane
Those were probably the three. Replaced Varane with Jones and we're done for the summer.
Fergie has also said that we will directly replace Paul Scholes.
Why would you think that? We haven't replaced Scholes. People say Jones can play midfield but think we'd want bit more experience/creativity
lol - so he's had a medical, leaving very little to discuss so now it becomes a matter of which day he signs officially.
Can't say I've watched him that much but, with as happy people are, I'll take their word for it and say yay yay yay !!!!.
Do wonder what will be going through Lindengaard's mind if a 21 year old is going to be 1st choice - it's not like he can look forward to when he retires to take over the position. I didn't think he came over to us to be a #2. Might be a good thing though if he fights hard enough to try claim the gloves.

Obviously! It could only benefit us if players come in and take the place of people that we think are going to be in the team longterm - whether thats because they have injuries or dips in form or whatever, at least it means we covered that and the competition is good.
But realistic is the word. People get a bit carried away with assuming things will go exactly to plan for what, 5 and 12 years as mentioned... Eh in all likelyhood things will have already slightly changed in a couple of seasons. Thats usually the case
Although, I suspect that's David Gill on holiday then. Don't think we getting that mystery CM all the muppets are holding out for. SAF reasoning might be Jones+Young = utility CM. Who knows? I'm not #ITK
Why believes everyone this "We will sign three players" comment from Fergie????
He lies, espcially to the press guys.

When did he say that?
We'll sign a midfielder. I just hope its someone ready to really do the job in his first season rather than another longer term project like Anderson was. Whether spending all this money on other players will have any effect on that... I hope not.
I've gone a bit more in depth into it in the United forum, but a combination of faith in Anderson and Cleverley (in addition to Carrick, Fletcher, Giggs and these days Park) as well as the young players coming along.
Still might be.
I'm sure he's thinking "great, a World Class keeper has gone and instead of bringing in the likes of Buffon, Reina, Adler, Neuer etc. we've bought a 21 yr old with great potential, I prefer my chances with that than those mentioned above".
Yeah he does, it'll be 5 players.
Cool so we've got our keeper position sorted. I reckon that should be that for the year.

I can't see it myself. A winger that can play as a forward and a defender that can do a job in the defensive midfielder role (he might grow into a great one but it's at least 2 seasons early for that) to fill in the squad positions of Scholes and Hargreaves, not to mention the fact we were all ready short of midfielders even including Hargreaves.
There is no doubting we need a true midfielder, some argue it's a defensive one, some a box to box, some a metronome and some an attacking one. That all depends on what Ferguson see's in his squad. He might take resposibilities off Fletcher and give him a purely defensive/holding role that he used to excel in, or he might drop Rooney deeper and decide an attacking midfielder isn't needed, he might decide Carrick can be that metronome again but a metronome needs a partner in there to use to dictate the pace and play with.
Far too many variables to guess. Fergie will get it right I'm sure.
***, ***, *** !! We're getting business done this transfer window.
How do you pronounce 'Gea'?
This is just way too good. Getting business done early, prepare for the pre-season and the real quest comes August.
Can't wait to see Jones, Young, and De Gea, among others, during the pre-season tour

Gay i presume. Which opens the doors to a whole realm of jokes in coming seasons I bet.
Been done before
Da-veed De Hey-a

What, we're going to tie their legs together and hope for the best?
"De Heya" is apparently how you pronounce it. Good old revista de la liga...
Who knows? As I said, I'm not #ITK
is correct. Give the H a good old Getafe though.
