We took weeks to announce Sancho.
Hope it's not pissing down with rain when he turns up at Carrington for his medical. 
I thought there were exceptions for professional footballers because they stay in their bubbles.
Did we Pawn Stars them?
(Madrid Shows Varane)
United: "How much do you want?"
Madrid: "I'm looking at $70m"
United: "Best I can do is $20m"
Madrid: "Ok, just give me $60m then"
United: "$45m, and I'm taking all the risk."

you forgot to say - I have a buddy in town
Sancho and Varane ... what a fecking summer. Not a good look for Woodward that Murtough comes in and delivers the goods immediately, but obviously a great sign for us going forward.
Announced subject to medical if needed
That was definitely my reaction to our defending from corners last season.
We never mention his name again.
In fairness I do prefer the transfer of the 90s. I buy a newspaper and read that United have signed Cantona. Or I turn on the TV and can see that United have broken the transfer record by signing Andy Cole.
Yesssssssssssss
The anti 'hipster defenders' on here will have a lot of backtracking to do. You love to see it.
Teletext?
It is brilliant as things stand. Could still go very wrong if Pogba went and our Midfield regressed.
Murtough can't be judged on one summer tbf. Woodward had good moments in isolation but would follow them up with shocking ones.

He comes with a huge price tag, comparison would be inevitable. 80m should get us one of the best CB in the world, such as VVD and Dias. But he is still a good CB, even having considered the contextual difference. It’s more of a case of us doing a bad business in negotiation.
"Let me call my buddy who is an expert on French defenders born in the 90's"
Every time I read about United's negotiation tactics I think of this:
Murtough looking forward to his final meeting with Woodward.
I think you Could feasibly achieve this by just using the Manchester United app as your source of news. Ignore twitter and Instagram football accounts and stay away from the Caf transfer forum
Pretty sure Woodward is working on these deals himself.
Wasn't a big fan of Woodward but couldnt he only negotiate with the money being given by the Glazers, who are obviously trying to butter up the fans due to all the shithousery regards the ESL?
Manchester United and Real Madrid are now very close to an agreement (between 45 and 50M € according to the bonuses) for the transfer of Raphaël Varane. Confident, the English club even hope to be able to formalize the arrival of the French defender this week.
This is such an incredible signing, an elite defender in his prime, who has won it all (and is still relatively young). What a coup.
Also shows we've still got some serious pulling power (and I know the money helps too).

Easy easy easy! Give us a proper saga you shits.
“There are a couple of things on the paperwork and we hope we can announce one player who has been very much written about,” said the United boss.
Depends if he’s fully vaccinated - if he is then none required. If he isn’t then 5 days and negative test I think. So get him in by Wednesday then he can start training with Maguire et al when they return next week.
Varane grew up up in the north of France..It'll be like home to himHope it's not pissing down with rain when he turns up at Carrington for his medical.
Repeating what everyone else has just said eh?
Every other person is reporting we are very close than before. How much close is fecking 'very close''?
I believe that this gem of a post is describing exactly what’s happening between Perez and Murtough right now
Apparently Real want Bitcoin, but United insist on Ethereum. Dogecoin is a possible compromise.
Credit to Luckhurst, on nothing but a transfer muppet whim, he called the Varane deal. All hail the muppet of 2021.
hehe that brings back memories...the transfer gossip page was limited to about half a sentence, checking it every morning religiously during the summer holidays
Fire up the flight trackers!
"I see that he has a scratch on his right calf. That's going to knock 20% off the asking price, I'm afraid."
