Why would it be announced today? Pogba hasn't even had his medical has he?

Maybe, maybe not. To be fair, I just don't see why people keep guessing in here. Nobody knows when it's being announced - not even Di Marzio. All I know is that it's starting to be a little annoying/strange that it hasn't been announced yet if it really is so close to being a done deal. Especially as we're getting close to the start of the seasons. It is surely in Mourinho's interest to get this deal done asap. And I don't think that Pogba being on holiday is a factor. We could easily announce a deal subject to a medical - or even make him pass the medical in the US.
Yeah but that's your problem. It's not just United that have interests..

Why is it Juv do not do transfers on the weekend, is it some religious thing?

I think United will wait after Rooney testimonial to announce it, possibly on Sunday, just after the Charity Shield.

I am sure RVP was announced and LVG was sacked on a Sunday..

No, but why would Juve be interested in dragging out an announcement if the deal is actually done? I'm pretty sure Juve - and their fans especially - would like to move on from this whole saga. And what would Pogba's interest be? Just dragging it out for the fun of it? Getting more attention and more Instagram followers while trolling the media?

That's not true, after reports from last week from Twitter ITKs I had a look at Juventus transfer deals on their Investor Relations page on their website and although the majority of their transfers are announced on weekdays, Coman last year was announced on a Sunday.

I think with this being such a massive signing, they will want him in Manchester first, doing all possible media and sponsor work in conjunction with the signing. This is the kind of statement-making, attention-grabbing move that Woodward sells to sponsors and a simple "subject to medical" type announcement won't have the same impact as a full media-friendly mega announcement would. They've probably got the whole social media team working on the hashtag as we speak.
I hope it's a bit more imaginative than #MkhitaryanIsRed :/

This transfer saga has officially reached the unhealthy stage and I'm not even a big muppet.

I just had a dream that Pogba returned to Juventus training ground from his holiday and all the players were giddy with joy to see him return. They literally ran to the entrance to greet him when they realized he returned. The problem is, he looked subdued, as if he knew he was leaving already but was going to say his final goodbye but didn't know how to do it without looking like an ass hole. I was standing next to him like I was his PR person or something and told him you have flight to catch.

Crazy stuff. I've never had a dream about a transfer before. That's my cue that this has gotten out of control, wrap this shite up Ed!

I wonder if Chelsea fans are having as big a meltdown over that comment as the caf did, somehow doubt it :lol:
I know. People sometimes forget that the Caf had a bit of a transfer muppet saga involving Hazard too. It may not have been as epic as some of the others but it was exciting for a while especially when rumours start building that we were apparent front-runners for his signature and made even better by the fact that he was considered one of the most exciting young players in the world at the time.

Unfortunately the inevitable heartbreak soon followed when he chose Chelsea over us - sticking the knife while he was at it too by announcing it on his Twitter in a manner meant to sound vague and ambiguous which was in reality anything but.

Strangely enough, however, while this place was having complete meltdowns during the entire saga the Chelsea fans over at the Shed End appeared relatively unconcerned in comparison and adopted a much more sensible 'if he signs he signs, if he doesn't he doesn't' approach. It's moments like these that make me believe that transfer muppets are a phenomenon truly unique to Manchester United or at least the Caf.

There were later reports that part of the reason we failed to agree a deal was Fergie's refusal to sanction the agent fee. Whether this was true or not I wonder if in a few years we will look back on this policy as either admirable but flawed or both admirable and best for business?

Imagine what the likes of @VanGaalEra and @ChaddyP have been dreaming then!

Pogba's already been included in the Sun DreamTeam player profiles. They're saying he's signed and they've valued him at £6m, less than De Bruyne, Sanchez and Aguero.
well in all fairness those guys re going to get more points as they are forwards, Pogba is likly to play as a box to box midfielder, so isn't going to get as many points

It'll happen official next week. But I'd be happy to hear Juve announce he's left and BBC to report it.

How do you know?
Because according to some people on here, we'll be too busy with Rooneys testimonial and the Community Shield to deal with the Pogba transfer, plus because he's on holiday things will be put on hold.
I'm pretty sure a couple of games aren't going to hold up anything and if they really wanted too, Pogba could be called back off holiday to wrap things up, or things could be done in the US

think it will be announced when its all done, whether that be this week next week or transfer deadline day, its a massive deal, looks like its just taking a while to cross all the t's and dot all the i's

Sky Sports article pretty much confirms it is done.

Doubt there will be an announcement at our end until he has finished his holiday, as we will want pictures of him in the shirt etc.

Juve may confirm it at some point this week.

That would've been my guess as well. I'm just baffled by all the uneducated guesses and claims people make in here.

Btw, I very much agree with the second part of your post.

Again, that could be done in the US, it could be done in Manchester, it could be done in my back room! Doesn't really matter where it's done, same if he's on holiday or not. We could call him in from his holiday, get all the formalities out the way, do a couple of interviews then let him get back on his way until his holiday is done.
The simple fact is, it's not done yet because it's a complex deal, theres lots to get done. Patience is key

Why does Pogba need a longer holiday than all the other players who played in the Euro final?

This excuse seems to be BS to me.
It's not just Pogba, Evra has a longer holiday too. Juventus decided so, it's their right.

Felt like a laugh and.... did they delete the MASSIVE pogba thread on blue moon? I can't find it. Had a good laugh at it in May when they said they weren't interested and just getting ready for the meltdown in next few days..
