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.
Bale to Madrid took months of negotiations.

"Deal should never take this long"

I really have to ask, what time reference to you use to assume things like this? How do you quantify the number of days a saga has gone to infer a position either way?

It boggles my mind.

Or it's all agreed, pending the completion of his holiday after which he'll head over for his medical and contract signing ceremony.
 

As was mentioned before, you have to love it when the Italian press, who know their stuff with Juventus, report it's pretty much done pending signatures and the English press ignore them. Yet 2 random guys confront Pogba in the street and ask him questions, and Pogba, being diplomatic, answers them and this is news worthy and definite confirmation that he's staying.
 
I challenge the Pogba transfer saga crack whores on here who keep coming back for more to go until Monday without visiting/watching this thread. Cold turkey is the only way forward. And to make sure we hold to this rule there needs to be a tangible threat/punishment from the mods. Like a thread ban or even a forum ban for some time...

What do you say? Mods can you make it happen?

Perhaps a pole so that people can sign up to the challenge and it would make it easier to dish out the temporary bans as their names will be registered against the pole.

It amazes me that people see a tweet from hours ago and think "that won't have been posted yet".

and this.. I think everyone wants to be known for "breaking the news".

Gazzetta Dello sport actually responded to this video and reaffirmed that it was a nothing comment and that nothing has changed. Even the professional italian media call out a non-story. Yet the fecking english press spam this fecking shit all over twitter.
 
I have to confess I don't watch a lot of European football, although I'd have been delighted to sign Kante (for a third of the price) and Matic would be a great buy as well.

I'm not saying Pogba's a bad player, that's clearly not the case. I just think that with a budget of £100m there must be some alternatives.

Kante and Matic are nothing like Pogba or as good now never mind in the future. They don't really play the same position either. Both are defensive minded Pogba is more attacking.

Nope
 
Out of every twist and turn we've had in this saga, I've gotta say that Pogba interview worries me the least. Pure bollocks and I'm amazed some papers are running it.
 
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.


If you can't see through the bullshit and understand that these di marizio guys or whatever are taking you for a ride then that's your own problem. The links are generated by the media and they all are putting their eggs in one basket.

Jose clearly told that if a player doesn't come, he has alternatives so links are there but the media has no clue. So please stop it with the highhandedness. People have every right to be questioning the way this is being handled by the media. A few guys in here like you are too high on muppetry and want to spin every news in a positive manner.

It's like if you don't agree with Pogba coming, you do not want United to do well and you have no understanding of football. "Why do you care how much United are paying, it's not your money", and then there's the " He's world class so the fee is justified" crap which is laughable, then it's "48 hours means, the deal would be confirmed within 48 hours so United , Pogba and Juventus have completed the deal but won't announce it till the right time" , "the juventus webite doesn't show pogba with the jersey, so surely the deal is done". Oh man.

If he joins, i will agree that the United sqaud looks very good on paper, but you do not know how the transfer will work out and it is a risk to spend so much money on one player when you know a player can get injured anytime and there goes your money down the drain.

Bale is a drama queen, and Pogba is not? :lol: as i say, some in here would do anything to spin every news in a positive way. It was not Bale who showed up in advertisements teasing the club's fans, it was not bale who kept updating his twitter with cryptic messages. In short Pogba is an a**hole who frankly is not required the team will be better off without him.

Can't wait for the 6th of August when he confirms he will stay or join Madrid. This stupid circus will be over.

Posts like this are incredibly irritating because they ignore all evidence and are instead based on insecurities and paranoia. The Pogba "saga" has taught me one thing; a lot of United fans are utter pansies.
 
I read the new title and thought at first it said, "we just have signed him...". And then I came here to see nothing:(
 
Those answers are really vague, to be honest. You can't make a story with that.


Great. The page 1000 isn't unreachable.

The thread seems to be moving at a quicker rate than ever. It seems the less is happening, the more it gets talked about!
 
Sky sports say "their sources" say Pogba will be in Manchester on Saturday and could be presented monday.

So Saturday becomes monday ...i think this is most peoples problem ..we pretty much know its happening but it just gets so frustrating constantly hearing it will be today then tomorrow then 48 hours and it just goes on and on .

Until we actually see him holding the shirt having signed his contract you just cant settle .
 
I guess the bottom line is that the medical/contract will be completed after he returns from his hols
 
For those saying walk away now and buy another midfielder:

Pogba is the 4th of 5th best midfielder in the world. Those who are better are:

Busquets
Iniesta
Modric
Fellaini
Kroos (debatable)
Veratti (debatable)

Now, who's available out of that lot? Pogba is.

Pogba is world class, 23 yo, speaks great English, likes Manchester. What's not to like?

Be patient, he will come.
 
Those who are saying the deal is taking too long...how do we know it's not done? Its a world record fee. It could just be that they want to unveil him in person and announce it when he is actually in Manchester...he was slated to be on holiday this long so....what is the problem?

It may be he had offered to come back early and Mourinho has told him to crack on and come back when he was scheduled. It could be anything. Wait and see. We have no idea.

I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt and say you accidently included it...
 
Why do people think he is going to cut short his holidays? He played 9 months for juve followed by a month of international football. And 4 weeks (not even 4weeks actually) of holidays is a big deal? Plus it was sanctioned by his then team. And it's still a good number of days before PL starts.

Cutting short a holiday of a lifetime by 2 days, to become the world's most expensive player, doubling his wages.

Big fecking deal.
 
I know people constantly asking for thread title changes is annoying, but Skysports saying he will fly to Manchester on Saturday actually seems worthy of one

While what you say is fine, what's an extra 2 days going to hurt? he's in top physical shape already. The only thing it hurts is the muppets.
