A year ago i would have been pleased with United signing him.
Perfect move for both, he will have an opportunity to show other PL top clubs that he would be worth a punt at a decent fee

We already have. It's funny, when the window opened people were demanding that we get our business done early, a day in. With a day to go people are demanding we sign someone like the rest of the window never happened.
Kroenke needs to buy a new ranch. Football's not all that compared to other businesses in terms of making money.
Can't cite actual experience with it but this transfer window certainly has the feel of what I would imagine is like the inside of a Walmart in middle America on Black Friday
Damning indictment of Arsenal F.C. right here.
He can't. Aurier and PSG will already have signed an agreement, subject only to a WP being granted, which it now has been.
What does that have to do with the fact that our squad could do with a bit more strengthening? It's not like we have a perfect squad
Sounds rubbish with Arsenal's wage structure and financial problems. Red tops were claiming he rejected £220k/week from Chelsea as well which'd make him their top earner. Just seems nonsense.
It could always do with strengthening, no one ever has a perfect squad. The manager wanted four signings, he said he'd be happy with three. We've got four.
We only have three. Where are people getting confused about the fourth?
We only got one.
One is a defender who doesn't play, one is instead of Lukaku and Ibra is not a signing.
So one.
Right?
That's one long ass sentence.
He's a poor man Milner?
If that's true, it only comes as a proof good players have no confidence in the club, nor the manager. Sinking ship.
Imagine being told that by a new employer.
So Ox is going to play as a LB for at least a season?
Not much to see imo.
So, long term he'll become a squad player who's mainly played out of his best position?
Kroenke is unbelievable
A little under the radar, but Mendes pulled another deal out of his ass, 26M€ for Pedro Neto and Bruno Jordão to Lazio. Two Braga youngsters, who played 3 and 0 games for the first team.
It would be hilarious if he played LB.
Said exactly the same about Ox to mates when discussing this earlier, reminds me of Milner in that he's become a proper utility player with plenty of 'decent' attributes but nothing standout.
Hes quick, fast and hes got pace to name a few.
Ok. Now I'm even more confused. We have signed three players - Lindelof, Lukaku and Matic. Not 4.
I think his point is that only one signing has significantly strengthened our starting XI, Matic. Which is a fair point imo.
This will go down well with Arsenal's fans. Surely they do need to replace Chamberlain? Their squad is thin as it is and are losing a key player.
Also have the Europa League to worry about.
Which makes it so weird, they could not wait a year for him and sign him on a free like they did Milner. Unless they get Lemar and VVD, AOC will hardly be enough for fans to accept the departure of Coutinho. It just makes no sense to pay that much money for him. If you slap 10-15M on top you could have had Draxler.
Don't forget about Tony Vs new foot.
That club is going down the toilet rapidly. They could end up finishing mid table.
