Why is this still not done yet? If it really was that close weeks ago he would be a united player now. We signed other players too. I know those really big moves need more time, but seriously this reminds me so much of Vidal. It was also Juve back then, we had a record breaking thread, the player gave some speculative interviews, that a move can happen, but he never looked like he would push for a move. We also waited all for him to came back from holiday back then and expected something to happen, but it never did despite tons of rumours saying it was close and done etc..., every day was the day where it could be done and announced but it never happened either.
In the end he stayed and joined Bayern the year after, can see the same here but with Barca/Real.
If it isn't done after he is back from holiday I hope we forget him and move on abd don't make the same mistakes again.
 
I kind of get the Rooney testimonial thing, but if we don't hear anything by Friday I would be worried.

And no, I couldn't give a feck if he is on holiday, we should be getting this done.

if we don't get him at this point we would end up looking silly
 
A mate of mine has a good friend who works at United, and he's saying Raiola's fee is still not agreed despite what the papers say. Everything else is done. At least as of a couple of days ago.

It's a 'dads friends dogs uncle said' kind of story I grant you, but better than what most of these journos get.
 
What is the reason for the delay?

He's still on holidays
Not wanting to PR bomb Rooney's testimonial

Have I missed something? Silence is rarely good news so something must be up.
 
Mourinho said he wanted quick transfers and now we've had probably the longest transfer saga the world has ever seen. Why can't United ever just get deals done with minimal fuss? The amount of time it's taking coupled with the fact that he's unlikely to be fit for the first portion of the season has killed all the excitement for me.
I hope there is some sort of conclusion soon because it's so boring.

It's been 3 weeks since the end of the euros... this doesn't even get in to the top hundred long transfer sagas. For example City only just signed Sane yesterday, despite that they'd supposedly agreed a deal for him back at the beginning of the Euro's and they still haven't signed Stones despite being reported to be negotiating since about the same length as that.
 
I think the fact it's gone quiet is because it's done. It was settled when we saw Raiola in Florida with him. Now we're just letting him finish his holiday in his own time. No need to panic.

We've had worse. Berbatov was an excruciating saga going all the way to deadline day. This will be pretty much finished within a week.

The bale saga blows this one out of the water it went on for about 2 months and relax Jose came out and said were relaxed so chill it's done Pogba just needs to finish his holiday then he'll fly to Manchester.
 
Maybe they weren't given as much time of as Pogba? Buffon only came back to training for Juventus about 4 days ago and Italy only made it to the quarter finals.

These players who are back in training, did they play as many minutes as Pogba?

Don't be using Martial and Morgan as examples, Martial played 60 minutes, Morgan played 0.

Evra was given a similar time off to Pogba

Exaggerating much ? It won't take him long to be fully fit, between 2-3 weeks.
 
I know we've all been saying it for ages, but surely it's just a matter of time.

With it being a world record deal there but be loads of paperwork and technicalities to sort, also Pogba has had a very long season and is enjoying his 3 weeks off.

If he's due back in Juventus for training on Monday, then surely this will be sorted one way or another before then.

My guess is as soon as he's back off holiday he'll be signing for us.

His sister got struck by a meteorite and he had to take her to the clinic
 
Just watched the video. To be fair, Pogba could easily just have said "We'll see" instead of "Yes, Yes".

I still think he'll come to United but I can see why that video might make a few people question if this is happening.

But when I think of Di Marzio and David Amoyal being so sure on this, as well as people from Bein Sports, then if he DOES stay at Juventus a lot of very credibe journos won't ever have the same reputation again.
 
What's funny about that?
We have a player, involved with 2 clubs and nobody is saying anything. This is the sort of thing which happens when a player is not leaving or the player/clubs are not sure.
If/when a player is leaving, he usually starts singing the praises of the new club he wants to move to, which he hasn't.

Also, the continuous "he will sign in x hours", which is tweeted almost everyday is getting tiresome.
Bale had a long (World Record) transfer saga, but he made it absolutely clear that he wanted to move. It was made clear that Bale wanted to leave Spurs. And that Spurs were happy to sell for the right price.
This has not been case with Pogba.

On the other side of the argument we have Di Marzio saying that the deal is done.
We also know that Pogba has been signing MUFC jerseys.

The rumour was that he would sign last Friday. Many muppets swore blind to this time table, laid down by a journalist. Once the deadlilne passed, the same muppets started interpretting the same tweet in a different way, to suit their hypothesis.

Personally, I think there is a more than 50% chance that Pogba will come to MUFC (there is too much smoke/noise about that move), but the player is not signed and like we saw with DDG, last minute hitches can put an end to a transfer.
If you can't see through the bs and realise he is signing, that's your own problem. We have had no links to any other midfielders whatsoever. The only problem here that i can see is the fact he is on holidays and people are doing their nut because he hasn't signed yet. In reference to Bale, maybe Pogba isn't a drama queen like Bale. Maybe he has more respect for his club that is paying his wages. Ever think of that? Juventus just spent the whole Pogba fee on Higuain, yet people think they can afford it. Now that is hilarious. But good luck with your pessimism. You have being like that in every single post of yours in this thread.

That would be an excellent stage to announce it, to the fans in from of a packed OT.

Is OT likely to be packed for Rooney's testimonial?
 
Think it's fair to say the thread has felt relatively flat these last few days. Now tensions are all of sudden raising again.
 
If Pogba was staying, do you not think Juventus would have made an announcement about it by now?
They're not going to let something drag on when the player himself wants to stay? If he genuinely weren't leaving, this would be wrapped up by now with a Juventus message saying Pogba isn't going anywhere, and United would have moved on to their next target and the press would have picked up on it by now.
None of that has happened. We've not moved on to another player (the press hasn't said anything about it) and Juventus hasn't said anything about Pogba wanting to stay
 
But when I think of Di Marzio and David Amoyal being so sure on this, as well as people from Bein Sports, then if he DOES stay at Juventus a lot of very credibe journos won't ever have the same reputation again.

and no one has even started walking back or hedging. In fact Amoyal came out and said it changed nothing. People like Romano/Amoyal constantly have to reaffirm people it's done because they get like 30 tweets a minute for updates. They've had numerous opportunities to walk back the story, yet haven't.

If he did stay at Juve the the like of Di Marzio, Keys will simply say the deal was effectively done and Woody fecked it up or dithered on paying agent fees.

Basically they will have a get out should it fail.

This thread is no place for logic mate. It'll fall on deaf ears. The WUMs are just having their fun, but the people who genuinely believe the worst cannot be convinced. Very odd behaviour.

I doubt that, they've all said it's done just pending signatures, which means that the agents fee/club fees etc are done. If it failed now, they could just say Pogba changed his mind, but if i remember rightly, they themselves said that Pogba has given United a personal promise to return or something like that

I'm relaxed I'm just also a bit fed up with it. You can't go on anything football related without hearing 'news' about Pogba. When the news will be he had some toast for his breakfast and then he's going playing basketball or something.

Exaggerating much ? It won't take him long to be fully fit, between 2-3 weeks.
The other week a large portion of this forum said because of the lack of matches in our pre season, all the players will be unfit. Is Pogba superhuman?
 
it's been discussed to death. It's a non-story, just like the MUFC fans getting hints that he was coming. He's being diplomatic to everyone.

Yep. If he wanted to say anything he would have week/s ago. So in that position, he said what you would expect
 
There HAS to be something fishy going on.....Deal should never take this long and he's clearly hanging on to the hope of playing for Real or surely he would have signed and been training for Mourinho by now. I'm thinking this ends with him either signing for Real or signing a new contract at Juve with some kind of buyout clause or unofficial agreement to sign for Real next year.
 
It amazes me that people see a tweet from hours ago and think "that won't have been posted yet".
