Murtough's loaded it up with coal
Manchester United got their deal sheet in for Marcel Sabitzer before the 11pm deadline. Now they just need to complete the formalities. (Source transfer ticker of the Guardian - like that they have another 2 hours to complete if I understand that rightly)
Guy outside Carrington on Sky saying it's done (medical, terms, club photos) bar the official announcement.
I don’t think we can announce him until NYSE opens since we are a listed company?
Cool. Don’t know much about this guy but he seemed really impressive for Leipzig against us. All over the place, lots of authority, technically very well rounded.
This has to be a bit.

He's probably taken one look at the jacuzzi and thought nah I don't fancy that 
as if anyone thought he would
Probably wait for peak online traffic time too, so Friday 11am announcement.
In before the official announcement.
What's the news on whether or not the West Stands will be named after him?
I don't believe this is true. We announced Weghorst on 13 January 2023 at 9pm UK time, which is after the bell closes on Wall Street.
My money is on an official announcement 23.32
Sabit7er hashtag incoming!
What?
Oh the horror!!
I'm hearing right now that they won't.
We should give him the Number 2 in honour of the reason he's here... Andy Carroll
Perfect signing.
A midfielder who can play as an 8 at a good level, but also has the capacity to play as a 6 or a 10. Has decent technical ability, so can hold on to the ball at a premier league level, whilst being a box to box midfielder with a good positional sense and off the ball movement. He also played in a 2 a lot at Bayern, so will be used to this set up.
He is a perfect example of what our depth should like throughout the squad imo. A player capable of playing multiple roles at a good level, providing a limited drop off when the first xi player is injured or suspended.
If we bring him along full time in the summer, we could have a squad featuring Casemiro, Eriksen, Fred, Sabitzer and a new CM, all as options for our two midfield positions.
We would also have adequate cover for Bruno. For me, we would then be able to put all our focus on signing the new CM mentioned above and a striker, knowing that the rest of our squad can be covered.

Thank you Ducker.
Yeah had a shocker in the 5-0 thrashing at Old Trafford but different story in Germany
So did their entire team to be fair. Uppemecano and Konate both had shockers if I recall.
getting nervous please don't feck this up
Andy Carroll is a massive Number 2.
He's already in training sessions for tomorrow!
His touch looks a bit iffy. we'll see.
Who is better fit for our CM out of Bellingham and De Jong do you think seeing as that Argentinian couldn't wait until end of the season

I'll miss him, ultimate pro, super versitale.
looks a bit like him too
Yeah that assist against us is on YT compilation
This seems to be an underlying theme with all of our signings.
That's too many midfielders
That's the shirt number he wore when he played us
It’s because he wore #7 at Leipzig
Yeh I’m in shock too
