They're waiting till the last min to announce , they'll think it will gloss over all the bad Sancho and Dembele news. Won't work obviously.
Hope not would rather it was an old fashioned pen signature with a club tracksuit on
If they do this the club are stupider than I thought, can't imagine the ridicule they'd receive.
Who isn’t? You can honestly say you are happy with how it’s all going at the moment?
I think this will be an okay signing. He brings experience and an aerial ability that we have sorely lacked up front. I like when we buy players who add a different dimension to our squad. I assume most posters who are slating this transfer are still (rightly)frustrated that we didn't get Sancho but you gotta judge each transfer on its own merit.
At least he might get some crosses now from Telles.
Yeah, I'm in this category. I like that if fit, he can offer an alternative to changing a game, rather than just bringing on quick players.
He must’ve been living it when he saw Martial getting sent off. Straight into the lineup.
Nope, I’m not.
I’m happy we’ve finally brought an actual striker into the squad though. The number 7 means feck all these days, SAF saw to that on purpose.
Happy about a new LB.
Disappointed to feck about the window in it’s entirety, but this transfer has real merit.
So long as he's still got it, it's a needed move. Having only Martial (Ighalo is at best a placeholder) is madness.
I've heard people say Martial should be the undisputed #9 but I disagree. He should compete for his place. If a player doesn't like that then they don't have the required mentality (not saying he doesn't). Hopefully this spurs him on.
as he's a free agent can we sign him after the window closes or does he still have to be before 11?
On the aspect of the number 7 why didn’t rashford ever get it, he’s much more of a 7 than he is a 10.
Could be nothing but this makes me doubt we have serious ambitions to sign Sancho next year.
There is a deadline for champions league player registrations. So if we want him for CL, then...
Presume there is no deadline for a free agent even if there was a problem with image rights?
Maybe he's having doubts after yesterday...
He will surely be useful for the CL as he's got experience playing in it so we need to get on with it... trouble is we've already done a deal today we can't do more than 1...
Maybe not in the squad but Maureen in the canteen has been to Spain a few times so can probably help him out a little bit.
Why is he getting the no.7 shirt?
Feck right off! We're a joke seriously

The same people complaining are the ones who didnt like the idea of haaland or sanchez because it would hurt rashford or martial. Cavani is a rotation striker, someone who will supplement him. The question is, do you guys trust Martial or not?
Secondly, we are clearly penny pinching so that we can get sancho when we have the requisite funds to do so. It's the reason why we didnt sign dembele. We clearly made more losses due to covid than expected. Yet people want us to spend like lockdown hasn't affected us.
It should be doable after the deadline, usually have longer for free agents
Exactly who gives a feck at this pointPeople losing their shit about Owen, Valencia, ADM, Sanchez and Depay’s shirt number
The club will be completely shameless and do this big social media unveiling as if we’ve signed a 24 year old Messi.
Think they're getting him a combine harvester to ride in on, with his recent farming exploits, perfect simultaneous announcement with our new heavy farming machinery sponsor.
One of the keys are broken from the last piano we used..
Any pics yet?
Cavani!
This is twilight zone. Or some sick joke

A new one? Yanmar must be pretty fecked off.
I‘m not gloating. I’m hardly in a position to do so. I’ve been disappointed how far we have fallen. Though I’m impressed so far with what Arteta has achieved.
i think Covid has meant much less money around but I saw a stat which said Man Utd have spent 1 billion since Fergie left so money might now finally be a problem for you. To be honest, this season has been quite refreshing so far. As much as I’d like to think we have a chance, the reality is we might at best scrape top 4. Once you go down it takes years to get back. Frankly, I would prefer Everton or Aston Villa to win the title than any other top 6 team. Probably won’t happen. But, at the end of the day, support your team. It might be a bad season but in time you’ll bounce back. Football goes in cycles.
Maybe, if it were me I'd have him doing more ballet, before Ole comes and lifts him above his head Dirty Dancing style.
Pah, you're still using a Yanmar these days?!
Rob Dawson of ESPN reported that image rights were delaying the conclusion, but he's the only one with that report.
There's a deep fake to be done here. Or even just one of those Joe videos.
What time does the window officially shut?
Depends where you're purchasing from by the sounds of it, but midnight here. Bare in mind though that Cavani is a free agent, SSN were saying that means it doesn't need to be done tonight for some reason.
Who’s staying up until midnight for the big revealing of our number 7?!
He’s getting a kicking on here already. It’s not his fault we can’t get our shite together and sign Sancho.
From what we know of the player he gives his all and was a very good player, let’s hope he can recapture some of that and he treats this like he has a point to prove.
But can we try to treat the signing for what it is rather than the punchline to the Sancho saga? It’s tiresome already.

Me! Will be 1:00 am in Germany. The club will probably announce it as late as possible to celebrate themselves after every other PL transfer has been announced.
