Well I did say anything could happen but nevertheless the story behind this one will be as mind-blowing for fans as the result.

I have genuinely only just found out an hour ago and then frantically got up to speed.

In the words of someone I love admire and truly value, Football, bloody hell!

Enjoy the interview when it comes. Would be disingenuous and frankly undeserved for me to comment further.

I had no idea when I went to bed last night at all. The tale is going to be 'Berbatovesque when told in full and you're going to love it!

So pleased. Sometimes just being a fan getting a shock is still the best bloody feeling in the world!

{Ed0666's Note - hey Cheshire I remember a few weeks back you saying that United will be signing someone high profile you weren’t wrong mate. 😂

Ed, hands up, never saw it coming. Assumption was he wasn't available and yesterday even ex players expected him to sign for City though 4 of them were in touch with CR7.

I've been wiped out today with my own stuff and didn't even know until I read my WhatsApp messages then checked the news. Had to apologise to one person who I replied before searching news outlets for my pretty blunt its August not April 1st reply.

This was talked about over 6 weeks ago at the club and put on the let's not get distracted pile, Ed002 said even today (and I checked the time of his response against my whatsapp) that it was unlikely and he was bang on! It will come out in the wash, but it was 1 phone call, a call direct to Joel, a conference call with Ed Ole and John and the call the June whilst someone else called his agent. That is deadline day stuff with bells on. Its mind blowing how fast this went from dead to done.

It has only ever happened before with Berbatov. Amazing.

Cheshire, I remember you talking about Saul the other day. Where is that? Chelsea seems to have the upper hand but any chance we can swoop in and pick him off? Or any other midfielder?

Sorry to bother you Cheshire, but any details about who might leave to make room in the squad?

Also, don’t suppose you know if a midfielder is still being considered pkease?!

Thanks.

I posted last night where we are with Saul and the conversations with his agent and call between Darren Fletcher and Saul. Have a search, if not I will repost.

Wallace, it's a good bit down the Rumours page now, I think.

Noncompliance, apologies for not acknowledging. Absolutely delighted and yes I am really positive about it, both as a fan and personally. i'm not sure where he will live yet but zi have a pretty good idea and I am now working out how to not be in Dubai as often so I can teach the boy how to drive fast cars through the Wilmslow/ Airport tunnel. He left a prodigy and he has returned as the GOAT. I am absolutely buzzing. Alderley Edge is back on the map!

{Ed0666's Note - I hear he’s looking at a place in Whaley range not alderly edge! He wants to keep it real as the kids say!!

I don't see any other post on Saul update.
Appreciate if you can share any info on Saul or other midfielders Cheshire.

Thanks for tip Nou Camp: have searched for Cheshire and Fletcher but can’t find it.

Sorry CheshireRed, would you mind posting it again please?

Many thanks!

I've reposted under Borders request. I didn't mention Darren the first time around in fairness but it was he who spoke to Saul about concerns over playing position as it was felt he was the right person given his past roles in midfield at the club.

Thanks CheshireRed. I would happily also read if and when have time and (or) informations about what's happened one day before and the deal from dead was done. Thanks again mate.
