Hey dude, I don't disagree, horse for courses and all that. I was purposely leaving Pogba on the bench, see how many people bite.

I googled it just yesterday when this topic came up in an entirely different context elsewhere. So I'm basically that typical annoying student who had a couple of Russian lessons and now considers himself the definitive expert on all things east of the Elbe.

Very rarely do they put details on for private flights.
What time do we need to sign him by to ensure he plays on Saturday?
He needs to be registred for Premier League at 12:00 Friday.
Noon on Friday I think
For what it's worth, it is also the same tail number that brought Pogba supposedly...see below:

Well good that we didn't let them take us to the cleaners with this deal. I remain skeptical of this purchase though, not necessarily because I don't rate the player but because I think he excels in a role which doesn't seem to have much success in the PL in recent years. There was also a good video on him, and they highlighted that he was good at making the game wide, playing passes to wide runners and that is something we really don't have too many of, James actually being the only one that come to mind and Shaw on a good day. What we needed was someone who can build from the back with some fast and precise passing other than Maguire and hopefully even better than Maguire and he ain't that.
But I don't want to be too negative about this transfer and hope he will at least make sure we don't have to play the likes of Lingard and Andres anymore.

Im glad its done, but dont feel all that buzzing about it. It was dragged out so long and became so frustrating, all the fun and excitement was sucked right out of it. And on top of that knowing its probably wont be enough.
I hope your right about a striker, maybe with a loan deal... but i think thats them done now until they sell pogba
We still badly need to get a striker in this window if we are to get 4th. An injury to Martial and we are in trouble.
If you mean F2TH, thats the aircraft model not the tail number. The one leaving lisbon looks to be CS-DLL on flight NJE551P to paris.

Just saw some news about him getting £70k per week wages, plus bonuses. That's so low! Hopefully this is a sign of us rectifying our inflated wage structure.
Ah! Apologies
Damn it actually happened.
Fair enough.
He's paid nearly every player we've signed too much since he took over, he's a long way to go before he gets any credit. He's been in the job 7 years and its been a complete disaster.
I hope he's good.
I still have hope for us bringing in a striker on loan. Someone with aerial power as well as strength to hold the ball up.
No need to apologise mateAh! Apologies
Agreed, with the positions but not necessarily the type of players. A CM with defensive qualities would be better. Also someone who can play across the front line to challenge Martial as well as be a rotation option for the wings.
On the bench at the weekend?
Just because he's got many many previous decision wrong, doesn't mean it can't be recognised when he gets it right.
Our midfield will be tasty when everyone is back.
Thank feck this is now done! Only took us 6 months in the end 
Anyway let's hope he comes in and does a good job and continues his scoring and assisting for us. Pogba and Bruno feeding balls for Rashford, Martial and Greenwood will see us scoring far more and actually beating the low block with some real creative players there, plus a danger from long range and set-pieces too
To those of you monitoring the flights to Manchester I applaud your muppetry

Genuinely will be. Mctominay, Fred and Bruno are all feisty too! Just need to get a buy in from Pogba and it's a great 4 to have.
Fred’s very good at disposing opponents I agree he’s not an amazing defensive midfielder but that’s not what I said.
I think to expect him to replicate the figures he was posting in Portugal would be mad, but very excited to see him play for us nonetheless.
He'll take some time to adapt, and he'll need broad shoulders at times, but he seems to be confident, loyal and at the perfect time in his career to kick on at a club our size.
Very good price, all things considered.

Bruno, Pogba, McTominay, Fred, Matic and Pereira rotating for 2/3 positions should do nicely for the rest of the season.
Then in the summer we can look towards finding a midfielder to replace Matic/Pereira. Hopefully if Pogba stays we'll have less work to do and we can focus on that elusive RW spot.
Will be some craic if we're all badly mistaken & he lands today in London and signs up with Jose 
please god let this joke be way off
please god let this joke be way offIt was Sandre Berge this whole time!Will be some craic if we're all badly mistaken & he lands today in London and signs up with Jose
Totally disagree. Fred has played at a higher level consistently over the last couple months than McTom has at any point in his short United career. Fred is a better passer and is more natural on the ball. He also gives us more quickness defensively. I like McTominay a lot for the squad and would have no qualms playing him in a game, but he’s behind Fred right now, fit or not.
They're stopping to pick up Cavani on the way it seems.
Haven't seen him play any full games unfortunately. Coming from a weaker league, there will always be question marks. I'm personally delighted wijth this signing though, offers a few things that we don't currently have such as set piece delivery and threat from distance. Nani also did an interview recently where he said that he advised Bruno to go to Utd (possibly just the PL?) because he felt he would suit it perfectly, I really like Nani, I hope he's right.
Medical set for Thursday morning SSN latest.
Ed Woodward is a genius!
Medical on Thursday morning, not today.
On after 55 minutes when we're 0-1 down and failing to break them down.
