Isn't the sleeves suppose to be a lot more white than the pics posted. I know like the button a small thing but I assume you got it from yayun or macs seller?

Your somewhat correct!....I haven't noticed anything with the sleeves but the button is red.... Quite happy with them though, normally I spend a fortune on united between tickets and memorabilia

Not sure if posted, but LVG has given Van Persie three weeks off entirely, before reporting back for training.

Makes total sense, the lad wasn't fit to stand before LVG took him off in the Semi final

Glad to hear that about RVP

I know like myself. Especially now they change the jersey every year as opposed to the 2 year cycle they had before. Beats paying €60 in the sport shops when you can get it near identical for circa €20!

BBC Sport

Ah I don't know what to think at this stage regarding Vidal. Part of me thinks it's just wishful thinking, and part of me thinks the club are doing their business quietly i.e. the right way. Overall I can't seem to dampen the excitement of the prospect of him playing for United though, just like I can't seem to silence the voice in my head which keeps saying "It's gonna happen, it's gonna happen."

Just one thing to take note of though; On January 20th this year BBC Sport tweeted the following:

BBC Sport wrote:

Manchester United deny that they have made a bid for Chelsea midfielder Juan Mata.

4 days later Juan Mata was a Manchester United player. So I'm just saying that although it's important not to get excited/caught up in journalists speculating/stating that a transfer is imminent, it's just as important not to read too much into official denials and refutes from the club.

Now Ed and co., hurry the fúck up and get it done!!

what is the best way to get a ticket in Ireland?

Simplest and most expensive is to get a package from a travel agent (e.g. stephens green travel, if they still exist)

Or join your local supporters club -- theyll probably have some season tickets and do bigger trips

Or join the official lottery in the central supporters club

Or just know a guy who onows a guy.

And then theres the MU ticket thread here

Lads if rvp is ment too be off for a few weeks why is he in Manchester? I'm in lanzarote at the min and there's a Dutch guy who works here and as we were watching the final last night he got a whatsapp message from a friend of his who works for klm and it was a picture of a boarding pass from rvp going from Amsterdam too Manchester ?

Because he lives in Manchester and is probably going to go home? That's what I'd do if I had three weeks off and had just spent a month in Brazil.

Bit stalky, no?

It doesnt matter where he is. He'll be chilling for three weeks before resuming training.

Eh hes prob gone home to pack for a holiday.

RVP is holidaying in Manchester, the somewhat cooler weather will be a relief.

Not having to spend £30m+ on Shaw to replace Evra will be nice too.

Sure he lives in Manchester. Pretty normal to pop home first before heading off on your holidays, no?

Now that Adidas are officially onboard, let the mockups begin

Even the chevrolet logo being reduced is a major improvement. If they were the actual jerseys i'd be more than happy.

Rayne Wooney

Van Gaal shouldn't have the same power struggles he faced at Barca and Bayern at United so he potentially could do a lot better with us.

The club will leave him to it if he's successful whereas at Barca and especially Bayern there was a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes, buying players he didn't want and telling him how to play his players and stuff

Hmmmm . :cool:

Emmet Kennedy ‏@Emmet_Kennedy 12 Aug 2012 #MUFC have agreed a fee of £25m for RVP with #AFC. Wenger not happy, but board accepted. Medical only a formality. RVP now an #MUFC player.

Emmet Kennedy ‏@Emmet_Kennedy 15 Aug 2012 As I told you Saturday night, #RVP signs for #MUFC. The deal was agreed Saturday night. #AFC only saving face. My contact is never wrong.

Emmet Kennedy ‏@Emmet_Kennedy 2h Arturo Vidal will join #MUFC from Juventus for around £35m Evra will join Juventus in a separate deal.

Holy ****. Could this actually be happening?

Sure, let's all believe the random Irish radio presenter.....:pac:

Surely nobody believes it?

An Irish broadcaster working in Cork breaks Vidal to United through a 'contact'.

Ah here.

What will you do if we do sign Vidal? Not saying it's definite or anything but like if United did sign him, what would you do?

He'll tell us we're not signing Reus and we all will love him for it.

I think its happening. A deal of 35mil and Evra. Got to be optimistic anyway:D

And then theres the MU ticket thread here

As an aside to this, are many people on here members of the Membership Club?

I'm embarrassed to say that I have never been to OT and really want to get over this season. Would there be any problem getting 4-5 tickets for a game, wouldn't all have to be seated together and it wouldn't have to be a "big" game, just one at 3pm on a Saturday against Hull or the like would be fine.

FutureGuy must be the most thanked man on this thread, haha!

I don't even have to contemplate what I would do and I am replying to you out of courtesty because we are not signing Vidal.

I'll give 10 reasons why (in no particular order, because it would be silly otherwise)

1. Manchester is rainy. It has the second highest rainfall in Western Europe. Vidal has a phobia of Umbrellas.
2. Turin has nicer ice-cream. Banana is his favourite, but only ice cream containing bananas from South America. You can't get South American bananas in Manchester as the lads off that Border Control show confiscate them all. They may have pests which could devastate the ecosystem.
3. There is a small curry shop that Vidal likes to eat at in Piedmont. Even though Manchester is famous for curries, nothing comes close. I heard this from the player's brother on a rainy afternoon in Milan.
4. It's chilly in Manchester, ironically disadvantageous for our hopes of signing a Chile player.
5. The average woman in Manchester is rated as a 7.9 compared to a 8.2 in Turin and an 8.7 in Madrid. This should not matter but he's a guy and you know how guys are. One track minds. The dirty b@stards.
6. Arturo Vidal is not a fan of Darren Gibson. Even the thought of playing in the same league as him makes Arturo sick.
7. In Madrid, they erected a statue in the main square in his honour. This is why he could move to Madrid over us.
8. Even though Vidal does not like Paul Pogba, he does admit he's a great dresser and would probably go gay for him. Pogba hates Manchester so Vidal knows they wont be together if he moves.
9. Socks in Manchester are at an all-time high price. It would be mad to move to Manchester at the moment.
10. Arturo was a massive Moyes fan. He has little faith in the current regime at the club.

So sadly, he will not be joining Manchester United. Because we are not signing him.

In fairness believing an irish radio presenter that we are signing vidal is as credible if not more than believing we are not signi g vidal from some guy called futureguy off boards.ie. neither are privileged to commercially sensitive information at united so in reality neither have a clue like the rest of us.
