I'll be amazed if this one doesn't happen at this point. There's a lot of proof that there is something in this one and that it is close, it's just annoying that there's still no official word. This one will be remembered for a while if it doesn't come off.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.

Last Thursday and Friday but nothing confirmed since? Disappointing
It will be very hard to take if it doesn't comes off.
i hope he decides one way or the other very soon
Its the hope that kills you
I was convinced Hazard would join us last summer and Sneijder before that

Nahhhh, but what proof is there we're even in for him?
Is Craig Norwood not the commentator for the U21 games?
No! 
I'm thinking of fecking Stewart Gardener, or whatever he's called.
Use a condom.
I
Isn't that proof in itself that he's full of shit?
Just read on one of the Barca forums, Hunter thinks that if we get Thiago we'll also get Rafinha.

Still I'm encouraged by reading those tweets from Norwood, for some reason I imagine that he knows his onions around Manchester.Page 200 coming up!
His bio. I am pretty sure he works for the club.

He never normally talks about transfers either.
Methinks it's very close if he's tweeting about it.
I'm thinking the same. I think we're closing in on him!
what's thiago's injury record like?
If he was properly associated with the club in an official way, then it would have been a good sign.
Craig Norwood is sound, remember him waiting at the hospital for a few medicals last summer, notably Lucas off the back of Bob Cass' update
Fecking Bob Cass, at least we won't have to deal with his updates anymore.
He is. He definitely knows stuff in the club, he's replying to ticketing queries people are sending him for example. I think he's the official team photographer.
22 more pages and we'll overtake Hazard. Ridiculous considering we're the only club in for him..
We've wanted to sign a midfielder for ages now, this thread is the end result of that.
Previous Tweets by Craig Norwood posted on the Caf make it seem like he does know some stuff;

It's fecking on! Done deal this one.
Now off to the next. To the Strootman-thread!

These tweets from Craig Norwood are bringing me extremely close to climax.
Yeah, I think he's a photographer for the club. Always tweets to the other people like Stewart Gardner and the like, who actually work at the club. I think he does as well. As good a sign as any this.
So he does know his stuff. Feckin anti-muppets trying to take this away from us, always being negative.
Noooo! Don't touch it! Not yet!
Save it for the official confirmation. Your pecker will thank you later. Trust me, I spunked one off when that fake ESPN confirmation that we signed Hazard went out.
Fecking cock's still sore.

It doesn't really change anything - he's just confirming what is quite obvious, that the club and Mazinho have met at some point.
What have I missed since lunch?
Everyone left this summer.
Dinner.
Craig Norwood confirmed that Thiago's dad and agent met with United officials on thursday to discuss transfer/contract.
Ok no idea how reliable @centralsources are but this is what they just tweeted.
