Isn't that his point though? If he still is a Juve player then this isn't done like people keep saying.

That's my point but people just make fun of you if you say anything reasonable. If this was at the stage Di Marzio and Sky sports UK are reporting it to be, there is no way Pogba would return to Juve training.
if we all had a pound for everytime that happened over a summer!
I'm not denying what you are saying. My point is to people that keep banging on about it being done. Well it obviously isn't yet...
And as another poster has said, in my opinion if he goes back to training that isn't a great sign at all. Simple.
I thought about posting the same thing, but Castles is always involved and people on here really rate him.
We don't know if he's actually going to return to training or not. Let's see what happens tomorrow.
Allegri is just sticking to the party line just like Mourinho did yesterday. He is due to be in training tomorrow and is a Juve player until officially he isn't.
Yeah, you can grow a beard, shave it off and grow a new one... have a son, watch him win the PL and see him retire. Totally possible if it's 48 pog-hours we're talking about.
If it doesn't happen by Monday I'll begin questioning things.
Exactly.
If you think about this reasonably and if you do believe we have agreed a deal with Juve and the player (as many reports have said) and he still goes back to training - then if anything that highlights there is a snag somewhere.
Pogba returning to training means there's no agreed deal in place, maybe we're close, but an agreed deal doesn't need weeks to be signed, that's just complete nonsense.
Exactly. There's literally nothing else he can say unless he went off script which was never likely.
True but people have been saying that for the past 504hrs. (That's 3 weeks by the way
)Why wait? Cause he's not signed his contract. He's not taken a medical. You seriously underestimate all the pieces that go into this. A deal as big as this means everyone will want a piece of the announcement - Adidas particularly.
It's not even 1pm - still plenty of time. Regardless, we won't announce before the game but I think there's a fair chance he'll be in the UK already.
Pogba going back to training doesn't mean anything is off. This wouldn't be the first time such has happen and people have already provided with many example of players reporting for training while an imminent departure was in sight.
The truth of the matter here is that Juventus have failed to simply said Pogba is staying which alone is a sign telling he is a goner.
I'll join the "it's odd crowd" if this isn't wrapped up by 7pm on Monday, but I'll still be extremely confident it's going to happen.
I expect we'll hear so much noise after the community shield, much like we did with Mourinho after the FA Cup final.

Look mate the journo's have a rough idea that this transfer is done they've know clue when it's gonna be announced or when Pogba's gonna come for medical etc they just spout bs. Your completely with in your right to wonder what's going on I'm in the same boat I don't think it's "as close" as certain people think I mean the way Di Marzio and others where getting on was like he was going to be a United player by today and look still no closer. However I do think we will sign him eventually I just don't think anyone knows exactly when could be any day next week.
What was Allegri supposed to say? "Pogba will leave the club and doesn't have to report in for training tomorrow." Is that what people were expecting? Even if it was a done deal behind closed doors, Allegri won't confirm anything until either club makes the deal official. Standard procedure I would have thought, one most people should be familiar with.
Simple mate. I was only highlighting the fact that a player returning for training means diddly-squat. Bale was always Madrid-bound. Berbatov was always coming to United. Loads of deals occur on deadline day. Do you really think that managers / executives wake up and say, "Hey! I have to sign a player today. Hmmm... I like X. Let's bid, close it, do all the paperwork and announce it on the same day"?
Deals take time and big ones like this one take a load of time. There's no way people want to make it totally public (obvious reasons) and it would hurt all parties if the player was asked to be in limbo while it's sorted. So, till it's all done, the player has to go and train with the club he's contracted to at that point in time. It's as simple as that!
Is he? You're just basing that off a diplomatic answer by the Juve manager. If hes planning on leaving, Pogba doesn't have to return just because Allegri said so.
Oh come on. Half the time you're as ('blindly') optimistic as anyone and then the other half you're relentlessly negative. I don't even know yet if you've been joking the entire time but either way you've acted positively schizophrenic in this thread for weeks now. So it's a little rich to be crying about how people jump on you if you supposedly dare question certain facts or accepted narrative.
Take your logic elsewhere, heathen!
Getting the feeling if pogba signs a new contract with Juventus posters here will be saying this means nothing its how these things work the deal is fine he will be a united player in 48 hours

Sky Sports said the same last week.
The comment means absolutely nothing until tomorrow, he might be being diplomatic so no content.
Or maybe its true and Pogba rocks up to training, then we will have something to talk about.

What? People are saying it in response to nothing. If the manager said anything different it would be weird. It's nothing to even react to - where as a new contract obviously would be.
Wait what did i just read
Far superior to whom exactly? I hope you don't mean superior to Pogba because that would honestly make you look bad due to the sheer ignorance displayed in your post.
Renato is reportedly 18. Pogba is 23.
5 years ago, Pogba was occasionally making the bench, the few cameos he was given he failed to impress against weak opposition and anyone who thought he was 'miles ahead' of the rest of our youth team are looking through rose tinted glasses. His move to Juve was largely uncontested by any other big clubs and he wasn't the 3rd, 4th or 5th choice midfielder for one of the best managers the game has seen.
I acknowledged that every youth player follows a different development curve.
Renato has clearly displayed more talent than Pogba did 5 years ago. Even if you use the argument that Benfica is a worse club in a worse league, looks at his performances on European and International level. Renato has seized the chances he has been given and deservedly earned a transfer to one of the largest clubs in the world.
I fail to see anything absurd about my post.
I don't know what I'm looking forward to more. Pogba signing or this thread finally being closed. I don't care about Allegris comments today, Pogba will sign for United at the start of the week, I'm very confident of this. Mourihno basically confirmed a new player will be with us before the season starts. This with every journalist nearly in Europe saying it's done. The fact they bought Higuain for that price, this is done and it's all about the timing of the announcement.
Day after day of pages of regurgitated nonsense, posters more focused on breaking thread records than actually points or updates on new information. A slightly negative tweet that makes posters turn in to 7 year old whiny little girls. There should be a support group set up for people to cope after this thread is closed. This transfer is done and Pogba will be a united player next week. Some in here need serious help, strangest thread I've witnessed in the red cafe.

Seems like a timeline picked very arbitrarily, given that Sanches is going to turn 19 shortly..
Please don't believe for a second it's a genuine meltdown.
What do you expect him to say if asked directly "is Pogba coming back for training?"
So if he returns for training it's off?
When we signed van Persie he continued to train, in fact, didn't he actually play a game whilst we were negotiating etc. If i remember rightly, he was pulled out of a training session due to something happening with the transfer, i'm sure i saw a video of it.
If Pogba returns to training so be it, doesn't mean anything if off. If there was any snag or issue, we'd know about it by now
Is that what he was asked?
Seriously how will they fund the Higuain deal as well as a bumper new contract for Pogba? They have to get rid.
At least it gives them a couple of days before they are proved wrong
Have we announced a lot of signings over weekends?
If he trains with juventus hes a juventus player its incredibly simple. I am responding to someone who said it was done. Done is the key word. Done. if its done he wouldn't train with his former club.
