My cocksh out, itsh been out all day.

I wont be surprised if Giggs doesn't know about RVP's signing yet. Haven't you seen that advert were everyone (include the gardener) knew about the rumor apart from him?

Bit hard to see from the back of the head that one...

Whoever it is looks like he's about to launch into a challenge on RVP.

feck OFF :mad:

I love this thread.

In the words of Chad de Clos' father - this is unbelieveable. What a week, and the cherry on top was to see Fletcher training with the first team again :drool:
 
Confirmation the confirmation?
 
When DHL signed that contract for the training kit, I wonder if they knew how bad/unwearable/gingham this year's proper kit was going to be? They were in the right place at the right time.
 
Seeing those pictures of him training with the lads made my tummy go a bit funny :lol:
 
So was the actual transfer fee established, or is it 'undisclosed'?

I've heard variously:

£15M + £7m add ons
£15M + add ons up to £24M
£22.5M + add ons to £24M
£24M

Is there an official figure or is it all just speculation?

Anyway, anyone know the answer to this please?
 
Great signature hes got, when he started with a big circle I thought he had gone mental.
 
Van Gaal: "Robin's transfer to United is fantastic not just for himself but for Dutch football too. He followed his heart in this matter."

Another dagger plunges deep into Arsenal supporters hearts.
 
They'll boo him to pieces at the emirates, classy arsenal.

Oooohhhh I'm all tingly suddenly :D
 
And it's Kiko. He's been wearing them awful Nike things the whole pre-season.
 
Fell asleep for a bit in the noon heat and woke up to these pics. One of those genuine "am I actually awake?" moments. Glad the answer is yes! :devil:
 
Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed how Robin van Persie was "desperate" to join Manchester United.

Van Persie completed his £24million move from Arsenal to United today, signing a four-year contract.

And Ferguson revealed the Dutchman snubbed Manchester City and Juventus because he had his heart sent on playing for United.

"Well, I'm delighted," said Ferguson. "It's been a long haul. It wasn't an easy one, to be honest with you, because, understandably, Arsene Wenger didn't want to sell to Manchester United.

"But the boy wanted to come to us, that's important.

"He turned down various clubs to join us because he wants the challenge of coming to the biggest club in the world and I think that's fantastic.

"That's what swung it, that's what made it possible. If he hadn't come out forcibly to Arsenal and tell them 'look, I want to go to Manchester United' then it meant that negotiations were really over.

"The only negotiation left was agreeing the fee. There was no-one else left in the picture because [of what] the boy wanted, he was desperate to come to Manchester United."

Van Persie said: "It's an honour to sign for Manchester United.

"I am looking forward to following in the footsteps of so many great strikers, bringing my experience and playing my part to help the team compete for the biggest trophies in the game. I can't wait to get started."

I know these quotes have already been posted from another source but since this thread is moving so fast I'll repost them. They're pretty reassuring as to his motivation in looking to move, though I'm sure money also played a big part. Thankfully there was no mention of a fecking 'project'.
 
I haven't been this excited about a signing in ages. This summer has been just fantastic for us so far, and there is still time as SAF said for one more (probably left back). Before we signed him I was a little hesitant because at the same time I didn't think we were going to get him actually. But feck me, RVP is a united player!
