The way some people are talking you'd think Arsenal had signed Messi. He's good, but he's not that good. They still have an appalling keeper, a dodgy defence, no bite in midfield and a striker shortage.
More yawn worthy stuff John Cross. The mighty pull of Arsenal and Wenger beats all it seems! Even gets a little dig in at Liverpool as well during the Ba bit.
Ed Woodward @woodward_ed 5m Coentrao was in Spain so we negotiated over Snapchat. He's now trying to say it didn't happen and I have no proof ffs #MUFC
EXCLUSIVE: United sign left-back Coentrao from Real Madrid on season-long loan

Fabio Coentrao has joined Manchester United from Real Madrid on a season-long loan.
The 25-year-old Portugal left-back has been frozen out of Real Madrid this season, failing to make a league appearance after losing his place in the side to Marcelo last term.
United went for Coentrao after failing to secure a deal for Everton's Leighton Baines.
Manager David Moyes secured the deal at the 11th hour after the transfer window shut on Monday night.
The move has been officially confirmed by La Liga officials.
As a further indication that everything was completed in time, Real have announced that they have signed Brazilian left-back Guilherme Siqueira on a season-long loan from Granada as replacement for Coentrao.

Coentrao-MUFC complication: Madrid needed to get Siqueira from Granada to replace him. If that didn´t happen in time, Madrid don´t want deal
How can clubs still be working on completing deals an hour after the deadline? Has Anichebe to West Brom being confirmed yet as the last thing they mentioned was that the paper work didn't go through on time but they might allow it anyway, do the premiership league just make stuff up as they go along?
