Its a bit like when City had 'pulled out' from signing Sanchez and all we heard from the press was that we are paying him £1m a day. It's pretty much accepted that he's coming here.

We haven't actually agreed a fee according to that article so what agreement has been reached?
That the medical is soon.
Thanks for the updates.
Boring saga is good. Shows we are getting things done early.
Saga, why don't we do things quickly?
No saga, bit boring this transfer.

You youth should have been around during the Sneijder days, that was a saga.
Come again?
Seen all the sagas. Sneijder, Thiago, Vidal, hazard, etc. Think Thiago was my favorite because of the ball.
It was a bloody mythology! The Bible moves quicker, and less controversial too.
See you in Manchester
Thiago was the one that broke me. I lost the heart to get involved in sagas since then. I invested too much in it
Nowadays I always assume we aren’t getting a player until I see official confirmation Why? Matic, Fred, Fabinho and McTominay is complete overkill. If anything, we need a playmaking midfielder now (Jorginho sounds like he fits the mould).
Was also a huge part of the reason for the Fellaini hateSee you in Manchester

Why isn't the club sharing confidential and unconfirmed information with us on a regular basis? Getting a little bit annoying now.
Let's offer Napoli Sanchez for Jorginho. That way we steal City's player by giving Napoli another player we stole.
Surely this gets done soon?
Player is in the North West with Brazil, so you'd think if it gets done before the World Cup it will have to be before Tuesday. They'd fly back on Monday.

They’re staying at Spurs’s training complex in Enfield.
They have a day off on Monday so it’ll probably get done then, unless he also has a day off today or tomorrow.

It’s not really a saga unless you make it one.
Football reporters have nothing to write about during the Summer barring transfers. They know that if they give United, with one of the largest fanbase (therefore readership), fans something to read about that'll ensure at least a few thousand clicks.
Rubbish updates. Just tell me when it's definite

What even is that article?
I'm already sick of the transfer window and it hasn't even fecking started yet. Gets worse every year.
This. Nothing will ever come close to that.See you in Manchester

Jorginho is City bound. Having a replacement for Matic is critical, he is slow and too ponderous in midfield, not dynamic enough. I thought this would happen when we signed him. Due to Matic' age we already need to replace him. He did well early in the season but the toll of matches caught up with him.
Missing out on both Fabinho and Jorginho is a blow. Both are excellent deep lying midfielders. I don't think having Fred, Pogba and Matic will make a significant difference.
We need two full-backs, a centre-back, two midfielders (CM/DM) and a right-winger.
It has started, it started the Thursday after the PL finished
To Lurkhurst credit, he was the first to break the Fred news.
Got to be a first?
He was also adamant that the club wanted Matic last summer.Got to be a first?
Really? I’ve been under the impression that he was just a regular BS journalist.
He's better than he gets credit for, think he's cleaned up his act in the last few years, I think he's a bit less full of shite or spreads it a bit less.
On Reddit he's ranked bottom tier which is pretty harsh.

Yeah, at least he was correct on that one.
It’s in a journalists best interest to keep a story going, especially one regarding United.
You seriously think we are gonna replace Matic?
Huh? Window has been open a few weeks now. Closes early this year on 9th August
In fairness it was Jose that said we need 2 midfielders to replace Carrick & presumably Fellaini
We don't need to replace Matic. We just need another option.
Everyone did better at the start the season and looked shit from halfway on.
I'd rather have Ward-Prowse or Ryan Gauld
Nothing will beat the Chilevision days
Eh what ?
Yes but that doesn't mean Matic will be replaced in the starting eleven. I thought that's what he was saying. He needs to be rested more, for sure, but he's one of our most important players.
