If we pay him £14m a year, for 4.5 years, that comes to £63m over the length of his contract. How do people come up with the £180m figure is beyond me. I say the most Man Utd will have to fork out on this deal is £100m - £120m, which, with todays market, its not crazy money really.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Thing is, without the pressure of crowbarring him in for Sunday, there's no panic. The clubs will be relaxed. It's just the fans that are slowly losing their sanity.
Even if Mkhitaryan has gone to training it doesn't mean the deal won't be done today. London and Manchester aren't that far away. Especially if they get the Juan Mata helicopter or a private jet. Frankly, provided the clubs are happy with one another's fitness reports the only thing they need to do is register the players via the electronic system prior to midday. That won't take long if the legals are pretty much done already.
People need to relax. This is happening. I was a massive sceptic but too much water has gone under the bridge now.

£14m after tax, allegedly.
Relax everyone, he is merely coming back to collect his balls from the changing room.
Also, it's within our means so it's not crazy money anyway. We're a financial powerhouse so our spending shouldn't be treated like we're Spurs or something.

That's a joke meme right?THE POLL!!!!
I can't handle this
Ah fair enough. Wonder if that'll happen with Mkhi still.

Quite sure it's still the case now.
That's from yesterday. Ban this bloke.
Article is from midnight, probably relating to yesterday

No, they can be carried out anywhere.
The sun is a rag. Haven't touched it since 1989, so wouldn't be surprised by any crap they make up. We should really avoid sharing links though, it's why they made it up in the first place.
I wish, but no. They've actually out-Ballagued Ballague.
Be intresting if Arsenal do get he and Auba and both rekindle that partnership they had at Dortmund. They might become a scary prospect.
Wasn't there a tweet last week or beginning of this week that said Sanzhez' debut would be against Yeovil?
"Even with Rooney and Schweinsteiger still at Old Trafford, United's wage bill as a percentage of turnover was the lowest in the Premier League last season."
Is that accurate?!
Regidtrations an announcements are different things though
.We can register him by midday but not announce it until later on today.

Best ITK ever?
Comeon Sanchez sign before 12.00 else we won't be able to win Burnley without you
Haha.. Mkhi is such a troll..
Imagine seeing him on the bench this weekend..

Yep."Even with Rooney and Schweinsteiger still at Old Trafford, United's wage bill as a percentage of turnover was the lowest in the Premier League last season."
Is that accurate?!
I wish we give him a kit at least one size bigger than he wore at Arsenal. I don't like looking at him in those ultra slim skin tight shirts showing off his nipples. Or do I?
Yup."Even with Rooney and Schweinsteiger still at Old Trafford, United's wage bill as a percentage of turnover was the lowest in the Premier League last season."
Is that accurate?!
Ballague the Pep lick-arse
but I spoke to him 15 min ago and he said he's making a 360 turn and signing for City???
Played the best football of their careers together. They should do well for Arsenal.
Is it possible to register him under the radar, though?Regidtrations an announcements are different things though
We can register him by midday but not announce it until later on today.
Just been reminded of Paul Scholes coming out of retirement, and us getting that one under the radar and him just appearing one weekend - but there's sure to be more eyes on this one.
So now that Burnley is off the table (more than likely), do we even get an announcement this weekend?
How can we register a player unannounced?Regidtrations an announcements are different things though

I'm a timelord and I spoke to Sanchez tomorrow. He says "tell redcafe to get fecked"
Not much faith in the rest of the team!
Yup. We were at 46% I think; the Scousers were at some bizarre 69% or some such if I recollect correctly."Even with Rooney and Schweinsteiger still at Old Trafford, United's wage bill as a percentage of turnover was the lowest in the Premier League last season."
Is that accurate?!
Mhiki is cup tied, if not registered before noon, he can't play until the en of the month.
They won't be rushing this...

I don't think registration details are announced publicly until the end of the window, anyway.
Is the player registration process a public one? I assume it involves filing paperwork with the Premier League, which doesn't have to be public straight away?
