Cocks are well and truly out.
Excellent. He's going to be a great signing.
i won't believe it's official unless some ITK has tweeted about it!
Meh. Let him proove me wrong!
Very good signing.
Jones and Young done. De Gea almost
Now for that one marquee midfielder

Good age, good at set-pieces, and can play on the left. The only con for me is the price we had to pay for him. With only a year left on his contract, I think we've overspent by a good £5-7m. Still,we're strengthening the squad, now onto goalkeeper (De Gea!) and CM
G'wan!
Anyone who questions the value of this signing has forgotten the several months of last season where we crawled through with Nani is our only available wide player.
Set pieces, my kingdom for good set pieces.
I think he'll be a valuable asset to the team, mainly with his set piece ability. Other than that, I think he'll thrive having Hernandez to play through balls to. To be that consistent in the goals/assists department as he's been for Villa is a good sign and will only improve with us, like we saw with Valencia.
At last.Let's see how he goes.
Good signing,
I've been a fan of Young for years, I even remember having a muppet-esque moan about us getting Nani for twice what Young cost back in 2007. So, yeah, I'm quite happy with this signing, but as somebody who has followed the player for quite awhile I feel that as well as insiting on his talent I should warn those who don't know...he's a massive diver, one of the worst in the league.
Good signing. Has the talent to do well, and I hope our fans get behind him. Good luck.
Woohoo, now we can concentrate on Sneijder
He plays well with Rooney.
Not sure how Fergie will play him. Excellent news all the same.

Good signing, further increasing our wing options.
Now lets tie up DDG and sort this central midfield out.

He will improve us. Good set pieces and attacking nature, but I can't help but feel we didn't need a winger. Hopefully SAF will use him a versatile player, positionally.
I hope we don't sign him only to sell Nani, that be crazy....
Good signing. On top of what everybody else has mentioned, it is always good to have as many English players as possible for when/if the quota rules get introduced.
Good signing
Can't beat healthy competition for places

Great option to have. Versitile and good option on set-pieces too.
that is just crazy speculation. Nani was hot and cold last season. partly because of that injury imo.
We need him.
Be fair, he was more hot than cold.
Shouldv'e really won PFA Player of the Year. It'd be interesting to see how we facilitate Valencia, Nani and Young.
Good stuff. Awaiting the DDG deal to get wrapped up soon too.
Lets sign a midfielder now.
