Therefore it will happen from tomorrow onwards. Giggs is going to be given his day.

It's done deal van gaal wants the job badly, it's just better to get the season over first rather than take the light off Giggs, would have been disrespectful to him to announce before seasons over. Even if BS reports are to be believed and we're waiting to try Mourinho one last time :rolleyes:

the season will end, we won't get him and will finalise van gaal.

Ether way it'll be Van Gaal next week.

Every Manchester United fan in the country will be supporting City today. Thank you David Moyes for letting things get this bad!

Here's to a big City win!

Question guys, after much googling I still can't find the right answer.

When can we officially announce signings and finalise deals after today? According to Google in England the window opens 1st July, but that is obviously BS as we signed countless players in June before, Kagawa for example was early June I believe.

So I'm confused :confused:

Can we get deals done basically from tomorrow onwards? June 1st? July 1st? (Which makes no sense as mentioned before). We need most if not all of our business done asap due to WC etc.

You can sign them at any point but IIRC they don't "officially" become your player till July 1st?

So basically after the season ends today their can be announcements about players at any stage even as early as mid May for example?

Can't think of anyone we have signed that early before tbh but I'm sure we may have done.

Yeah

it's like how Bayern signed Gotze in (April?) last year, but for obvious reasons not many clubs are interested in announcing it at that time. I hope, and believe that Woodward and co have started the hunt and began negotiations with clubs for possible transfers.

A few seasons ago Arsenal announced the signing of Podolski in mid march!

Its pretty much irrelevant, the bottom line is you can sign players whenever you like. Ter Stegen for example is going to Barca, we know it, he's basically said it, he had a medical in Feb, everyone has known since way back, but it hasn't be announced and he can't move. But for playing purposes he'll be at Barca next season, the deal is done. We could already have players signed up. We signed Hernandez in April for example.

Anyone who understands the rivalry wouldn't want the scouse to win it. Ever. That day in 2012 was one of the worst in my life, I felt awful. I want every Liverpool fan to be feeling the same way come 5pm this evening. Nothing personal.

Does anyone think we already have players signed then? You'd think Woodward would be aware he has to have the transfer window dreams are made of to save from the embarrassment of last year. If I was him I'd have been a very very busy bee already and would have 80% of work done already. Manager or no manager.

**** knows though after the shambles that was last summer.

I am curious about this too. My guess is that you can sign anybody at any time but they can only be "registered" - hence elegible to play in the windows. That gives us potentially a body of signed but unannounced transfers.

But surely that couldn't be as if it was truly the case, that we had players signed on the dotted line which we were waiting to be announced, surely it would be ALL over the press. Mark Ogden would be all over it.

Plus why not annouce it like other clubs, someone said Arsenal announced Podolski in April.

Sadly, I don't think we have anyone yet. :no:
