Maybe he stayed at Carrington and slept in the new sleep pods

Strangely quiet. Where should he be now?
Done with his medical and everything signed.
This is the only club that takes pleasure in hiding its newest additions, should have just used the presser to unveil Darmian as well.
He was still in an airport in Italy at that point, would have been difficult
That's a bit like the Falcao/Blind deal when Falcao got all the attention. They even had a presser together in which Blind was only asked 3 questions and Falcao around 12.
Sky even gave Falcao a special.
Could have done a Skype link though
Hope he's passed his medical. Wish United would hurry up and confirm it's a done deal.
I think they're itching for a "Woodward completes triple swoop" with Schneiderlin, Darmian and Schweinsteiger next to him.
Its strange. Sometimes we announce deals with '...pending medical' and sometime we just straight up say we have signed someone. Wonder why there's a difference...
I think "pending medical" is when a deal is agreed beforehand and the selling club has to make an immediate announcement (to make it clear to markets/shareholders), but the medical takes a while to complete (season ongoing, player on vacation etc).
It's obvious what's going on. We're going to announce Darmian, Schneiderlin and Schweinsteiger at the same time.
4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42
what about 36?
Eds gonna have a catwalk of new signings strutting up and down in the new Adidas gear! Genius!
Unfortunately, it won't be Adidas as our contract doesn't start till 1st August (I think).
This weeks lottery numbers?
It is so tempting right now to go the shop and put the lottery on with those numbers.
His transfer seems to have been overshadowed by Schweinsteiger.
Bring some of the excitement here!
Bring some of the excitement here!
We need to show him that he is wanted because with the Schweinsteiger signing he might think otherwise.
Where is Darmian!? He went for a medical and seems to have vanished!
Blimey. How off were the predictions that this would be announced at 9pm last night?
Strange that Bastian has been announced and not this one.
Feel sorry for him. Even United giving priority to the Schweini deal when Darmian's already had his medical yesterday.
We will announce Schweini tomorrow with a medical and pics, while Darmian will still be missing
Might take a lot of pressure off him though which might be a good thing.
Bastian will come to Carrington and be like "Zere iz somevon in ze MRI. Get ze man aus of mein MRI." and the announcement of Darmian will be delayed by yet another day.

When do we start getting worried re his medical ?
Been no word on his transfer at all. (Guess lvg confirmed he's having his medical but then nothing.)

The quick, even premature, announcement re Schweiny makes it seem strange that nothing official has been tweeted re Darmian. Not as done as we think? Or have they had to rush the Bastian announcement out because Rummenige has jumped the gun?
Well Bayern had a press conference today and announced it so we were always going to announce it ourselves immediately after that, whereas Torino haven't officially announced it as a done deal yet.
Did his flight ever land?
Weird, i thought this would of been announced by now.
The Bayern stuff today forced it. Darmian will have his moment too.
Bayern publicly announced that Schweinsteiger was leaving so we were forced to put out a "pending medical" tweet to match, Torino havent mentioned anything about Darmian leaving yet so we don't need to put anything up until all the paperwork and photo's are done and the club is ready.
Probably a case of dotting the legal I's and crossing the Italian T's. Buying from Italy is notoriously litigious, more so than Spain even so my guess is that until everything is 100% hunky dory with the legal stuff from the Torino side we won't announce. It's inevitable LVG has already confirmed it.
It's really strange, why do for Darmian they didn't make this??
Manchester United is delighted to announce it has reached agreement with XXX to sign defender XXX, subject to a medical and personal terms.
Not daft.
What's the rush? It is obviously happening!
