It's because it wasn't a Utd signing. All I've heard over the last few weeks is about this number 7 malarkey. Memphis this and Memphis that & will he be able to fill that number 7 shirt.

Fuck 'em. I'll be happy for Son to go under the radar a little and produce what he's been producing for BL the last couple of years.

Sky have their agenda it seems. Daily they have updates 'live' from Vinny O'Connor at Evertons training ground giving chapter and verse on the latest, probably because its Chelsea. Then they have some United has-beens being interviewed about De Gea. Berahino? The odd soundbite from the studio and that's it.

I'm sure this would've been posted beforehand but for those who hsven't seen it, these 5 goals show how good he is with both feet. He can really hit a ball with both.

I was watching Sky just after 10am and what plonkers they are. Clearly the studio 'experts' had no idea who he is, they said nothing about him or what type of player he is, just talked about the need to have more than just Kane. Looks like they were ill prepared for the announcement.

Typical Sky! They're only interested in signings made by the so-called Top 4.
So much for unbiased sports news reporting.

no goals or assists since he has been here. Looks scared to touch the ball. I see no reason to put him in the squad. 0 passes complete for spurs, the man is a liability.

Have seen a few match videos of him and seems like more a player who will dribble at defences and opt for the long shot which is surprising.

Fortunately though he looks a lot more efficient than Townsend with his shooting and prefers a more central role it seems. I think he will fit in with the whole Pochettino fluid trio behind the striker nicely.

Looks a really useful player for counter-attacking too.

This is the worry, if he doesn't hit the ground running I can see people getting on his back cause of his style of play

The thing I like about this, is that it was under the radar. Sky are quiet, because they knew jack all until two days ago.

Nice to not have a deadline day emergency.

For once...well done to the club. I'll reserve all judgement on the player, because I know nothing about him.

I certainly won't use stats as a sole basis like others, 4-5 years ago they would have had you believe that Walcott was better than Bale and Modric was shit....USE YOUR EYES!

he dribbles you say? Whats that?!?!?

Didn't they show their super stats graph? "used by premiership coaches"

"Ooo he's over 15 for first touch and pace, that means world class"

It's getting to be like player manager on SSN's transfer window.

Sky have such poor sources for our club. Only a few hours they were going with "Pochettino dismisses Son link" (even though he did no such thing btw) now he's officially our player. Goes to show we shouldn't mention Sky Sources at all in relation to our club.

Forget Berahino, forget Austin, forget Martial, forget Neymar, Ronaldo, Suarez, Messi...for here he comes, here comes the Son.

Best thing- shows we are buying players that have been identified as part of a system as well as the individual:

Example of the system he has been playing under at Leverkusen, tough collective pressing, winning individual duels, quick recycling of possesion and speedy counter attack swarms. Probably a more extreme press than Poch had at Southampton..

HAHAHA I saw a comment from a Liverpool fan astounded that we would pay 20m or more for him, and I quote, 'especially when you consider we got Firmino for 28m.'

Tbf I'm a big Son fan, but Firmino has been the more impressive overall over the last couple of seasons.

With all this pace now we need an incisive passer in behind in the ten role.

Lamela is far better at that than Eriksen.

Hmm disagree big time there. Still the play I think we'll see the most is actually Kane dropping off, turning, and playing the ball forward for one of the wide-forwards to run on to
