thought they'd combine it with the release of the new kit, but nope. Pretty weird to drag it out this long.

This has been done a long time ago. Most likely, we'd like to announce the big bang, meaning together with Varane

I really don’t understand why people think this would ever happen.

Why would you dilute your two huge signings by announcing them together? Never ever going to happen.

Given there are videos of him on a plane going on holiday with Marcus, I doubt it will be announced until he's scheduled to start training. Maguire and Shaw are expected back at teh start of August, so I'd guess that is when they'll do the big reveal.

He's probably on holiday and given the racist shit from idiots on social media, the club probably wants to give him more time off before the photoshoot for the announcement.

Not that weird. They'd want it announced after the release of the new kit, so they could post pictures/media of him in the new kit and sponsor. They wouldn't do it on the same day as it'd overshadow the actual kit launch.

van de Beek was announced at 5:32pm
Telles was announced at 6:04pm
Diallo was announced at 9:20pm
Cavani was announced at 9:57pm
Pellistri was announced at 11:33pm

Sancho will be announced today, most likely at some point after 5pm. We have done announcements earlier than that, but in the past few years they tend to be announced in the evening.

It'll probably be announced whenever we stop guessing the precise minute that it'll be announced

In all fairness, 4 of those were on deadline day, so it made sense they get announced quite late.

But yeah I've been expecting the announcement between 4-6PM BST. Especially since a Friday.
That's a time where they can get the most amount of engagement worldwide, 8-10AM on US west coast, and still cover parts of Asia late night, 11PM-02AM for China.

Tbf these were all deadline day signings.

Transfer will be announced when the video of him and Stormzy are done editing innit.
It'll be Dave surely.
I got the impression that this pic was probably snapped at OT when they were there to film something for the Sancho reveal, Harry being a mate of his (and having teased the transfer for the past year(s)).


Unless of course they're just involved in shooting some ads for the kits themselves aimed at youth.
