I think that one thing Cider got right was that we are going to sign these three players, Thiago, Strootman and Garay. Moyes starts on 1st July and his first press conference has been pencilled in for Friday 5th July. These signings have all been planned for a while, but would not be seen as Moyes signings, especially if they are completed before Moyes came in. All the reports we read about all 3 players are that Moyes has always been a supporter of their style, Moyes has been an admirer, Moyes whilst at Everton was looking to bring this player in etc.
I think the idea for Moyes first press conference is to have all 3 players introduced to the world and then would be seen then as Moyes signings and not ones planned by Fergie before he left.
I am sure all these 3 signings have been agreed in principle but with the players all being away on holiday, the 5th July suits everybody's needs, except us at redcafe who need the signings done now, like yesterday!

Yep I think you're on the money, not a chance anything will be announced before Moyes is in and rightly so IMO.
 
Yeah, I think there's something in this.
A new manager surely wanted to look like he's in control. Not looking good if the signings were announced before he's officially at the club. Moyes first, and we'll announced the players after.
Hi Reelworld, do you go to The Man Utd cafe in Jakarta, if you do I may see you there, as Im off to Jakarta for a holiday on Saturday!

Hiya Byron, I don't usually go there, the food's too expensive for me and the taste really not worth the price. I only went there when there's nowhere to go really.
Btw, why are you having your vacation in Jakarta? It's hot, traffic is atrocious, there's only shopping malls here. Might as well go to Bali. In fact, you should go there. Ronaldo is having his vacation there, try to do a De Gea with him there :D. Imagine the muppets reaction here
 
I don't think it will ever happen, but where would Rooney even play at Barca? His quarrel at United is that he's not playing as a centre forward. Is he expecting to oust Messi back out onto the wing?

As per the Dailymail, circled in the picture is a young Thiago wearing a United shirt.

And when Moyes shows up alone for that conference. we can all make ourselves feel better by thinking "oh they did not want the player signings to steal moyes' thunder"
 
Jesus so now we've come to the conclusion that no deals have been made public so Moyes can announce them at his first press conference.

Everyone knows he's the manager of Manchester United now, regardless of his official start date. Whether we announce a player in a few hours or a few weeks is trivial in regards to Moyes.
 
He's 22 - you can have a few players over 21 in the Under 21's squad.
Players born no earlier than 1 January 1990 are eligible for the tournament, meaning some participants will be 23 years old as the 'under-21' limit applies at the start of the qualifying competition.
 
If you were 21 or under when the qualifications began there would be no restriction concerning age later on.
 
For years this forum have been begging for a quality midfielder and then when we finally find a player who perfectly fits the bill some of you are so negative that I start to wonder what kind of supporters you are. What's the fun with dismissing every positive reports with smiley's or lame jokes? Don't you want him to come to us? I was naive enough to believe in Cider but I'm glad I did because its better to have hopes then being bitter and cynical.

Thiago is probably the hottest prospects coming around for years, he looks tailor made our midfield and we can buy him for peanuts. I pray every morning for this to go thru but I seems to be in minority. Strange world.
