Could have his medical today. Good stuff.

One on the one hand I want to have us conclude most of our business before the Euros and allow to settle in during pre-season but then the inner muppet in me will be so bored over the course of the next two months with no transfer dealings.
Yeah, but, Wednesday 30th May 2007.
Don't think you appreciate just how well that was worded.
People can make fun of the last Eric all they like (and for good reason), but like The King, he also broke Leeds hearts.
What a finish.
What a finish.
Please don't shoot the messenger but some random feller who just left Carrington may or may not have told an aspiring Norwegian freelancer (not me) that there's a slight issue with Bailly's medical, specifically his arm. I'm not fishing for a reaction here, nor am I sure if this info is in any way credible.
What an expert... that article, calling Jaap Stam "ajax experienced" but instead he came from PSV and played for Ajax at the end of his carreer (shouldnt have though, he was shite)
Well there is talk of shoulder problems for him so may be some truth in it or just complete shite.
Perhaps?
I have it under good authority that he may or may not have turned into a badger and had sex with a lamp post. I'm not fishing for a reaction here nor am I saying that I am credible as a human being.
Reminds me of Jones also had problems with his medical but he signed nonetheless
In retrospect maybe that was a sign

..or clever, for that matter.
Raw talent? So there'll be calls to sell him within 6 months then.
Failed medical? Classless and embarrassing. LvG out.
hopefully the medical is not postponed due to finding a mock explosive device taped to the treadmill.
Just joking mate
If we're lucky.
Dailymail are hardly reliable? Not worthy of a thread title change
Just joking mate
Ditto.
Rubbish. No one has ever called me clever and meant it.
So if his medical is today, when do we expect it to be official?
His name reminds me of Desailly
His wikipage is already saying he plays for United... lol...
Says its been completed on the 8th June as well lol

Full name Yoel 8E i will stock you
His new name, even thought his birthplace was made up, Bingerville. Its a genuine place.

I like it that we're trying to get stuff done early. Euro plus Copa America (although I doubt we'll be after many players who are currently at Copa) will inevitably halt things a little but ideally Jose will want all new players available for summer tour. I'd expect us to sign two or three players straight after Euro is done as well, and maybe one more player later in the Summer once Jose has had a look at his current team during the tour. He will have done a lot of his homework by now though seeing as he must have known about appointment for a while.
Between him, Smalling, Valencia and Shaw, we'll have plenty of pace and power in that back four. We do ofcourse need a deep lying playmaker who can take the ball off our center backs and distribute quickly because neither Smalling nor Bailly seem to have a good passing game.
A young Carrick would be ideal but Pjanic would do well.

Defensive signing!?
Get in!
Get in!
Can't say I took particular notice of him the one time (I think) I saw him in action, to be honest, so I'm going merely on praise by others - but he seems to be highly rated.
Good luck and so forth.

Mourinho is in the club today?
So what's the news ? Someone mentioned an issue with his arm at the medical ? Or was that just a bit of trolling ?
it's a process.
Unlikely given he was in London for the court case.
Looks legit to me.
Sure no wonder the medical failed, look at the colour of his hands.....
First time I watched him, his face and physical did remind me of Desailly. Maybe as you said, his name contributes to that, thoughHis name reminds me of Desailly
Can he play right back
Apparently. Any where across the backline.
