For those wondering, there are plenty of flights from JFK to Paris in the next few hours :lol:

It's about a 7-8hr flight, so he wouldn't land until the very early hours of the morning. Depending on what sort of business/personal affairs he has there, he might not even land in Manchester (or London :eek:) until late Sunday afternoon or evening. Seems unlikely he'd do a medical after all that travelling, which would make Monday more likely for everything to happen.

But this is pure muppet speculation.
 
How many times do we need to debunk this god awful stock exchange myth? For the last time, Utd are not restricted in any way by this.
 
:lol: are GdS the Express of Italy? Claiming an exclusive that he's landed in Manchester is pretty shocking as it looks to be nonsense. The guy isn't even flying directly to England it seems.
 
OK. So overnight flight to France, arrives first thing in the morning. All day in France, then flying to England Monday, right? So no weekend action, but the big announcement some time on Monday! Woohooo!

He's going to spend 48 hours in France isn't he?
 
It's easier to hide someone coming from France on a private Jet. Second story more believable than the GDS one.
 
I really can't wait to see how we announce this deal. Will be anticlimactic I know but can't wait.
 
I agree completely. I've had a great time posting here these last few weeks. Loads of laughs despite the occasional disagreement. Can't understand those that feel so negatively about the thread but I guess it's a love or hate thing.

The thing I don't understand (and it's not just true about this thread) is that if people don't like it, don't open it. Scroll past, open another thread.

I'm now guessing BBC report it to be a done deal tomorrow after the game, just like they did with Mourinho after the Cup Final, then an official announcement to come on Monday or Tuesday. Pogba ready to make the bench for Bournemouth and the squad is complete before the 14th August, just like Jose said. :drool:

You are basing this on what? A hunch?
 
Can't understand why is he even doing a medical. The guy is healthy as a bull. They should just watch his basketball and boxing videos.
 
Honestly I think Adidas United and Pogba are smiling like the Cheshire Cat.

I think these deal has been done for ages. But why not wait to announce it. Think of all the free press over the last month, all the speculation and theories. It has been nothing but wall to wall free press for a month. How does that not benefit all of the above. Once they finative this deal the press need to find another transfer drama.

Honestly I think this has been expertly milked for maximum exposure for publicises sake.

advertising/publicity is a factor. But we are talking huge amounts. I'm certain the negotiations must have been tough. The timing of the announcement...a matter of days must of course been controlled for maximum effect. That may account for the secrecy...if so.

No chance, it's crap now, and has been for a week +.

Sign, or don't sign, but for feck sake just make it stop.
 
So, he's continuing his holiday in France now? That's nice...
Yeah, if you want to believe the "report" by those two 16 yo muppets. But if there's any truth to it, this could end up dragging out for even longer. But it sounds like it might be a serious family matter, and if that's the case, you've got to respect that.

They weren't the first to report he'd be heading to france after new york, and then onto England...

Alright. I just haven't seen other than the reports saying in Manchester already(GdS) and the report from these guys. Who else reported it?

not saying he does since it's impossible to know unless he says it but it's not something that far fetched. We'd most likely to go a bit further with wages and not only that, the kid knows the club and has many friends here, also he has described himself as a "mancunian" before. Now he was likely promised to be made the star man or at least core part of the team, and potentially face of the club (we have had a slump but United is a juggernaut too), under one of the best managers in football. Looking at our recent transfer dealings we are clearly ambitious. It's all too tempting.

Off course Real is always a tempting proposition too, especially on the back of a CL triumph and having a start studded squad and a French manager, one which most French kids idolise, but I feel like in this particular case it would not surprise me if he indeed preferred the move to something he "knows"

I much doubt he would prefer us to Real

Not by some and I got hammered for it.

Anyway we need NYC to France then France to UK flights...
They used to be reliable and knowledgeable but now they're far from.
It's sad when two random people who no one on here has heard about before this transfer are more reliable than a huge media outlet like Sky
 

Cheers. It still doesn't prove much. Two shitty sources, and it's very possible that both just coincidentally report/guess something along the same lines - or copy what the others are saying. But then again, I think every "report" is just guesswork at the moment.

Unless something extraordinary is holding up this deal or Pogba suddenly decides to stay at Juve, we will see something substantial in the next few days.
 
So shouldn't GDS be thread banned as we now have proof they are bullshitters?
