How many weeks holiday did Juve give him?
Morgan and Martial were in the same squad and came back two weeks earlier than Pogba is scheduled.

The financial department promised me money sometime this week. I see the pattern!
Don't know what I'm more desperate to get, my money or Pogba

Oh I see...
I agree, each potential transfer only has a certain lifespan of excitement. From the time the player is first linked with United, there's a certain amount of time for which you can be bothered to get really excited about it and can't wait to see him in the red shirt. But this has long since crossed over in to meh territory, not because I don't want him at OT - I certainly do - but because of various reasons (most of them beyond the control of the club) it's taking a very long time. If, heaven forbid, the deal falls through the Cafe will need to shut down for 24 hours minimum.
But they didn't feature in the games? Schneiderlin didn't kick a ball and Martial scraped 50mins.
I think Evra is on holiday with him and those 2 didn't play
@baanke laalNope. When the whole transfer saga began. As described, I was happy when I heard of it (it being the transfer rumour)
But now... I mean... 100 million for a guy banana-infused-turd hair and a dab diplomacy?
Great, people have the same questions every hour and yet is mystified when nothing new comes up.
A bit troublesome that he didn't cut his vacation short a bit and join with the squad before the official games. Hope he settles in quickly
The wait is brutal. I'm convinced it's done, but would like to have it official and get him linking up with his new teammates as soon as possible. It would be nice to be able to move on, both for the sake of the Caf muppets and for Jose's sake. He may have a good idea of what he wants this team to look like, but until he actually sees it in action (i.e. with the crucial missing 4th piece slotted into the midfield), he won't be able to really put his finger prints on our play style, etc.
I think that second idea wins! Let's put more money where our mouth is
He's trolling the French press, not fans.
What bothers me is the lack of desire on his (Paul's) part to build team chemistry ASAP.
As we all saw this season, a top 4 spot was ONE game away last season. Fortunately missing the top 4 ended up working in the Reds favor.
This season the Reds can't afford to let a game or two slip away while everyone learns to play together. It's new system, with new players in key spots.
I'm pissed at whomever KNOWS this is going down, but are allowing/causing Paul to not be on the team. Two fricken weeks until the season starts. The dude should have been on the practice field two weeks ago.

Great that everything is clear in this thread
I, for one, am absolutely embarassed by the club's inability/unwillingness to complete the biggest transfer of all time exactly when I want it to be done.
Seriously, some of you need to relax.

He is an athlete who played an enormous amount of football last season. The idea that his holiday to recuperate and recover should be cut short so that he can build chemistry with the team is silly and short-sighted.
Theres a deal in place that no announcement is to be made until this thread hits 1000 pages. I say you all go on strike because of the powers that be using you lot for their gain.
4 days camping in the new forest and I was expecting get record shirt sales etc with pogba the new face of United?
Any known reason for the holdup as I'm not going through 30 pages if can be avoided.

With United fans, he's signed shirts, posed for pics, and answered questions when asked. It's the press and pundits he's trolling with his own Instagram posts
I know you're having a laugh (and boy do we need them at the moment with the way this thing is dragging) but do you think we might actually hit the 1,000 mark before official announcement?
Nope. Nobody knows a single thing more than they did before you went camping.
Maybe they dont want it to overshadow Rooney's testimonial? If not then your guess is as good as anyone else's.
Can't tell you the number of times over the last 4 seasons I've thought how perfect of a signing he'd be, and how impossible it would be to get him back. Now that it's actually happening, I'm having trouble fully comprehending how big of a deal this is for our team.
Exactly. Its a win-win for me.
I'm disappointed with you all. I thought we'd be at page 900 by now
It's quite a leap to get to a lack of desire from where we are right now. Officially he's still a Juventus player, and until the two clubs have come to an agreement for his transfer, that will remain the case. If, internally, the agreement has been made, it's then up to the club to arrange for the player to travel for his medical and to sign his contract. They may have decided that it's in everyone's best interests to allow him to complete his holiday. It wouldn't exactly be the best start to your new job if your new employer told you to cut your vacation short.
I'm disappointed with you all. I thought we'd be at page 900 by now
The thread has grown by 12 pages today which is somewhat impressive considering there have been zero actual updates, and to be fair the only update that we can get now will be an actual confirmation from the club.
If it's a done deal let him enjoy his vacation.
Muppets aren't worth to cut short the holiday, a day or two wont make a difference for juve or united.

Is he still on holiday until this Saturday? If so, the announcement may well take another week.
Even if he'd signed weeks ago, he'd still be on holiday now.
This. It's very strange. And I really don't buy all the excuses with Rooney's testimonial, stock market, adidas campaign etc.
What's funny is that if you look at the Juventuz forum(I know they're deluded) they actually get more and more open to the idea that he might actually be staying as this is dragging out.
I still think it's going to be done as there are simply too many things pointing in that direction. But I honestly don't believe they are dragging out the announcement on purpose.
There are probably still some details to be fixed.

Nothing is happening at all
It's getting a bit antsy in here. I guess this is what happens when you've been burned so many times before.
I agree he should have his holiday. But considering technically our season starts in 6 days, it would have been nice to get him in early so he could play in the Community shield game and also train together and build chemistry with team mates.
How do you know?
He knows a good few of them so it's not like starting afresh. It's not just his team mates, he knows the area too so he would settle relatively quickly. We should have a good enough squad without Pogba, to win the first few games...
He knows the ins and outs of football business
Feck his holiday! He should be back to satisfy our muppet dreams. Kidnap the cnut or something. This is doing my nut in.
This is like waiting on a new pair of expensive designer shoes that you want asap. You know they'll come it's just a matter of days.
