They’re probably waiting for the internet bitcoin market stock exchange to open.

That's his tweet :


Posted 3 hours ago, few hours indeed.
And this morning DiMarzio said it was "a matter of hours". But that could mean 2 hours or 300 hours.

Veterans of the Pogba transfer thread will remember how often he said that it was a matter of hours. Was one of the running jokes in that thread.

*Not to disparage the good name of DiMarzio. Obviously he has good info, but can't predict when someone will hem and haw, or when some other little hiccup will happen to delay things.

The same was said last night and nothing came of it. Journos are just trying to guess it before hand for the attention and the "ITK tag" that comes with it in case it turns out to be correct.

Surely you can't be serious? He's Chilean, so they'll want to get into the South American market.
Maximum exposure would mean announcing it around 5-6pm in the UK so the papers here can print it on their back pages.
We have barely any presence in South America, we could give less of a toss about it. It’s also not the wealthiest of regions either, hence I’m confident we’ll be timing to be morning in the Asian markets.

Social media has come to play an increasingly prominent role in the way that clubs like Manchester United communicate with the outside world, but the Pogba deal confirmed it is now the primary channel. Rather than opting for the traditional press conference and photo shoot, the club announced the transfer on its social media feeds at 12.35am – a decision that perplexed its UK fans but served the dual purpose of making the early morning news in the Far East and evening headlines in the USA.

Even the great one can be somewhat inaccurate sometimes.

Anyone else feel the deal itself will be confirmed by Mourinho during his press conference tomorrow?

Surely with all his close family members here in England someone would leak a picture or some info on social media? Disappointing

Just 30 minutes away from clocking out from work for the weekend. Will celebrate once announcement is made, I'll be hard liquor.
This is exhausting..
