To be fair the Ibra transfer was like this as well, and I thought he was playing it up as much as possible.........and then along came Pogba and it got 10 times worse (even considering the complexities of a £100m deal, this has been eeked out agrivatingly slowly)
Considering he hasnt even had his medical (which I believe is going to happen in Manchester now, and the LA one was just hogwash) , and of course he wanted to fly to NY just when Real were in town, coincidentally......
Can United do that with them being on the stock exchange and what not ?
Probably talking nonsense so...ignore me if I am.

So now Leicester have signed Bartosz Kapustka I wonder if that opens the door for Mahrez to join Arsenal
Nobody seems to know exactly how the stock exchange situation works.
You'd think if 100mil + had just been spent then it wouldn't be something you could keep under wraps...I don't know a load about this kind of thing mind you.

Technically its only "agreed to spend" as like all / majority of transfers the whole fee is rarely if ever paid all at once anyway and is done over a number of years
From a general business perspective, I seem to recall reading somewhere that its beneficial for Utd to annouce these kinds of things in early evening GMT (ie mid morning in New York) to make the most of that day's trading on the stock exchange, but I have no idea if thats actually true.
I believe that Stock Market rules state that anything that's liable to have an effect on the stock price should be announced directly to the stock market first. Spending £100m and getting a potentially world class player is, I'd imagine, exactly that.
While thats true, Utd (or any other SE listed company) can do that at any time of the day....
£27m or there abouts, wonder if he will be one of the few brazilians to take positively to the EPL
Pep's supposedly spent around £100m this summer on Gundogan, Sane, Jesus and Nolito and still trying to bargain for Stones if rumours are true.
Chelsea do appear to be the masters at getting rid of their unwanted players for as much if not more than they originally paid
Wouldnt mind some of their nogotiators at Utd
