Not sure if this is a serious post, maybe missing obvious sarcasm here.

7.30pm announcement tonight i reckon
Ironic that isn't it, you can't get the bugger off of BT Sport these days
That would have been in the works for much longer than the three days with Messi being a free agent (so no club to negotiate with). His preference would have been a Barcelona stay but knowing realistically that it was unlikely they'd be able to afford it due to their salary cap, he and his father would have had most of the groundwork with PSG done in the background just in case.
As both countries are in the EU, there's no issue with visas. Unlike Varane he didn't need to quarantine so medical and stuff could be done right away.
Nah mate, all the lawyers, agents, court judges, Varane's gran etc. Are involved in this deal. Not getting announced till February at least!
Woodward has creamed his pants with all the twitter hype and anticipation.Twitter is full of "announce Varance" replies on anything United posts
Yep it might have been but I am sure United would have known about visas and the like? I remember an article I read a few weeks back where AWB said he was about to fly out for pre season to join the squad and he lost his passport and within a day the club sorted it out.
Sancho transfer dragged too if I recall.
Its just frustrating because we need both for the start of the season.
My sources told me that he is, allegedly for the reveal, learning the bassoon.
Dwight Yorke missed the first game of the 98/99 season because Doug Ellis dug his heels in. Berbatov's transfer took until transfer deadline day in 2008 because Daniel Levy dug his heels in. Van Persie was on the bench for the first game of the 12/13 season because Wenger dug his heels in and Robin had barely trained. The world didn't end in any of those instances. It'll be fine. It's just one game. This is the transfer equivalent of an impatient 'are we there yet?! are we there yet?! are we there yet?!' car ride. I'm sure everyone is working as quickly and diligently as possible.

Wouldn't like to see what they are like when they are not working as quickly as possible
Using Lingard for a video about international youth day is brilliant. Whoever chose him needs a raise ASAP.
Probably something akin to the Sancho transfer.
Do the admin team have a quota for the amount of times they have to promote the third kit?
Nervous breakdown?
My goodness you are clueless.
Don't we have to wait for the stock market to open before announcing...
Maybe they didn't want him registered because everyone will be moaning if he didn't play. If he's registered after the deadline he gets a full week with the squad training and will be better positioned to start the next game. Possible.
I think anyone with a brain will know that Varane will not be starting on Saturday regardless. They shouldn't be too worried about idiots moaning he's not starting. Plus, the sooner he is registered the sooner we can get him integrated. Makes sense to me anyway.
Who’s Varance ? I’ve heard of Holly ValanceTwitter is full of "announce Varance" replies on anything United posts
Makes sense to a lot of people. Unfortunately sense is lost on many of our fans
Can’t see him being involved against Leeds, doesn’t he have to be registered by is it halve 12 tomorrow? Even if it does get announce tonight, he’s only gonna have one day of training which will be tomorrow.
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.
Really was there a need for the toolbag comment ? Just because i expressed my opinion on the transfer not being very exciting anymore, Or do you normally get your kicks by throwing out random insults on a forum ?
Get a grip
Does a player have to be registered to train with a team? I get he is a multimillion pound asset and RM would not want him injured prior to selling, but is there any FA rule to prevent just anyone joining in?
I had a feeling this wouldn't be announced same day as the new kit knowing how obsessed we are with social media clicks
You were just crying because a transfer “isn’t exciting anymore” because it’s taken a few days longer than expected to see PR photos; I don’t think you’re in a position to be telling anyone to get a grip.
Yeah Rado. Get a grip man. You've lost the run of yourself here.
You could iron your shirts on some of these lads.
Maybe we should wait till next summer them so people can't moan about him not playing all season.
How would these people cope before social media and 24 hours sports news. Imagine waiting until its in the newspaper to see your man holding the club scarve above his head.
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.
Bit OTT isnt it
5pm
4.56PM actually
