Bit OTT isnt it
Yeah but it is just annoying that the one time we do our business early thanks to circumstances outside our control we start the season with our signings unlikely to be there from the kick off

You would be surprised, a very large percentage of sportsmen and women are OCD.

Nadal being an obvious example. It comes from the routine and superstitions.
The worlds best player just took number 30, it wouldn’t stop a transfer or upset them if they can’t have their preferred number. Ronaldo room number 9 when he went Madrid too.

Think Liverpool and Man City in recent years have shown what one very good centre back can do for your team. I really hope varane has a similar impact to Dias and van dijk did. He has a better centre back partner (maguire) than those two did too so can’t see why he doesn’t.

Sadly some of our post SAF signings makes me slightly worried about how they will be especially with such huge expectations although oles signings have been better than his predecessors.

The ‘excitement being taken out’ of a deal isn’t really relevant. A lot of fans are too consumed with the optics of a transfer window in general. What matters more is where RV will play football for the next 5 years, and that is at United.
That might be your opinion which is 100% fine, their is no right or wrong here, but my feelings and clearly a lot of others is part of a transfer we enjoy the whole unveiling part especially with a player such as Varane, why does that trigger so much people ? Why do people get so annoyed just because what they enjoy about a transfer doesn’t reflect across a whole community or fan base, people are allowed to feel how they feel,

of course all I really care about is Varane signs and all the rest of the stuff is just side excitement but Rado calling people toolbags just because there feelings are different to his is out of order, literally no reason to get that upset by difference of opinion.

who do you feckin think ?
Its amazing that he has been a Utd player for 2 weeks (bar the 'minor details') yet any media pics have him still in a freckin Madrid shirt. Just get him in the red shirt (or even the 3rd !!)

He had his medical completed Wednesday. Then all he had to do was sign contract.

Are we short of fking pens in the Megastore or something?

Varane had to quarantine. There are 38 games plus cups and CL. Its not that big of a deal if he misses 1

Varane has gone back to Madrid. He doesn't like the rain in Manchester.

How is this still not official? Becoming a meme now :lol:

Players are being unveiled at clubs they weren’t even linked to when we agreed the Varane deal.

Hopefully the hold up is about requiring the music rights to drop a sick beat with his unveiling video as that Jay tune on the Lukaku drop was fire.

Lukaku before Varane. But we've had a great summer everyone.

Chelsea had some of their people in Milan to do the media work, which is why they were able to announce their deal sooner. United didn't do that with Varane; they completed all of that yesterday in Manchester. All that's left at this point is the actual announcement and media reveals.

It kinda is. We’re supposedly introducing a new formation and way of playing. I’ll believe it when I see it, but naturally if that’s the case you need a good preseason to hammer it in. And we’ve had almost none. So yeah, it’s annoying that we agreed deals so fast and yet still couldn’t get the players in. Last season we started badly and Ole blamed it on preseason. If we don’t start well this time, we’re toast. It won’t be like last year. City, Chelsea and Liverpool will all be stronger. Chelsea getting Lukaku is huge. We’d better start strong and with the teams we face we have no excuses. That is the only savings grace. That if they miss the first games we should be able to handle it.
