What sort of times in the evening have we announced signings in the past?

Zlatan 6pm, Rojo 7.15pm, Mata 9.30pm, Blind 8.30pm, Martial 5.15pm

Most common other time seems to be 1.30pm in the afternoon

Yes I am a saddo
 

No smoke without fire. Here's your fire.

Chopper stopped by the Megastore at OT to get this scarf and dropped it off at Carrington for this photo to be taken.

Top class wumming from Woody. Sends the chopper out on a scarf run to send the muppets into overdrive.

"It's just a scarf, Ed. We can send a car..."
"No, send the chopper. And open RedCafé on your browsers. Trust me on this!"
 
By the time Pogba sings/signs, this thread will hit 1000 easily :eek:

But rumours have gone cold in the press. If the signing is imminent, there should be more on this topic, no?

All the press have been saying it's done. There's no more pushing and pulling over fees, so I'd guess there's not much to report. But all outlets talk about it like it's just a formality now.

What on earth more do you want? Everyone is saying it's a done deal, there's literally nothing left but the official announcement.
 
So digital content manager is following, and if (big if) the helicopter was carrying Pogba, you'd think the interviews and all that are done?
 
Probably won't happen today. I think we'd hear more about him traveling to Manchester, but I suppose it is possible that it was done in secret to make it extra special and exciting. That's my wisdom that I'll share with you all. Yep.
 
I doubt he's even in Manchester lads. I mean do you really believe that? He was only in NYC 24 hours ago!
Regardless of whether he's in Manchester or not, that statement makes absolutely no sense at all. Going from NYC to Manchester takes way less than 24 hours, so when he turns up in Manchester, he will have been in NYC 24hrs ago (assuming he's going straight from there to Manchester)

There is absolutely ZERO chance that Pogba could fly to Manchester on a commercial flight and not have twitter blow up with reports of it. It's one thing for him to get minimal attention flying from Vegas to New York, but flying to Manchester, at least half the plane would know who he is and why he's headed there, not to mention all the people that would see him at the airport after departing the plane.

IF he has flown to Manchester, it had to be a private jet. He posted something on Instagram at 3 or 4am NY time, so while he could have had insomnia, there's certainly a decent chance that he was awake for some other reason (such as being on a plane or arriving in a timezone 5 hours ahead of New York). Hypothetically, if he arrived in England before 7 or 8am, he could probably easily go unseen except by very few, especially if he's flying private.

In fact, if he hasn't already flown in, I'd guess that it will be private to avoid all the attention that him boarding a flight to England would generate.
 
Di Marzio just put up an article saying that the final details are being ironed out, while paperwork is completed, to be handed over to Juventus board for final signatures.
Then states that Pogba is still in New York, and is expected back at Juventus facilities (at least i think that's what he means) on sunday, but that he might not go there, and go directly to Manchester instead, due to where the negotiations are.

Sounds like - if we're lucky - the announcement will be made tomorrow, otherwise - considering how Juventus conducts business - we'll have to way until monday.

Talk about a buzzkill.

Schneriderlin was the biggest saga last summer and he made it to Carrington with nobody realising.

Pogba to Manchester United, the move is upon us. There is little that remains for an official conclusion to the transfer that has been long and involved between Juventus and United. The last details are on their way to being resolved, and it is due to the extremely large sums involved that have put every last detail under scrutiny. Right now in Turin, Pogba's representatives and legal team are working to finalize all of the paperwork, which would then pass over to Juventus and sporting director Marotta for signature. At that moment, Pogba will be released from obligations with Juventus (including that of his arrival at the team's training, where he would be expected back on Sunday), and could join Manchester directly in New York, where he is currently on vacation.
 
@Carl get your arse to that chopper and find out who was in it!

@Carl Get to Da Choppa!!!

The chopper left ages ago lads. I posted it in here! Was about 4.45pm ish.

Quite envious of that. I have a good workplace and all but to work next to OT is a bit special. But then again, you do that every day and get used to it.

Aye it's a lovely view alright.

No offence to Carl, but there's not much else going for that location!

No offence taken, I don't live there! Not that where I live is much better mind.

Having said that, the Quays is pretty thriving at the moment with the Lowry and Media City.

Thanks for the translation, that's exactly as I understood with my poor Italian. But isn't it Di Marzio instead of Amoyal?

I don't think the signing is in question, but I was thinking about it the day of signing being today.
 
Crazy to think some deals are done in hours on deadline day. The lawyers on duty on deadline day must charge an arm and a leg.
 
How many weeks can it take for the details to be "ironed out"? It's amazing. At least Di Marzio has finally been proven wrong with his 48 hours bullshit.

They clearly have no clue. Or if they do, they gladly just put out bullshit temporarily to get their coverage during low-activity times.

That being said, DiMarzio is usually reliable.

Di Marzio never said will, he said can or could.

Proven wrong by Di Marzio himself? Lol

If he wanted to be a liar, he could have easily just said that Pogba signed his deal last week and is just on holiday until this weekend. No one would be able to prove him wrong seeing as no one else seems to have the info he does.
 
It would make my lif if the chopper was just flying to get a scarf from the mega store.
