As soon as the reports of Madrid's interest dried up you could tell this was as good as done. When it goes quiet that's when things are happening behind the scenes, I imagine this has been done a couple of weeks now but we agreed to let him have his holiday.

Just a fresh rumour.
Ah yes, not even denying it now. It's gone from he'll be at training Monday to "No Comment".
Everyone knows it's happening now, it's like the Mourinho appointment, it's another worst kept secret in football

So he'll miss the season opener most definitely, any idea when he'll be ready to start?

Just want us to hit the ground running, and kicking out a midfielder for him if we have a good start might be counterproductive.

Still, great news.

Berbatov comes to mind.
Di Maria springs to mind too, i remember that one, even though i didn't participate much, if at all.

I'm wondering if Mourinho will announce this one tonight, or atleast that he's due/had a medical. If, as the reports are suggesting, he's free to have a medical, then Pogba has been relieved of his duties at Juventus, and therefor Mourinho could technically talk about him

Was getting worried a weak ago that this wont reach 1000 pages but its so close now that unless United make a surprise announcement its bound to happen. Almost as exciting as the actual transfer

£100m fee, I feel I have sweated a decent part of that trying to keep up with the saga created.

Can hardly believe it's actually getting done. Felt as if it was going to go on forever. Very happy he's coming, but can't say the transfer saga has been a pleasure.

I actually like the fact that we are correcting our own mistake by buying him back for crazy money. It has felt terrible watching him perform at Juventus thinking about what could have been. Imagine if he had gone to City how extremely frustrating it would have been to see him shine for them.. Instead he's coming home! :drool:

There's been a couple of call outs already but I'd really like to hear @Pablo76's lastest thoughts on this.

Based on what though? By all reports, he wants to come here. I don't dispute the pull of Madrid, I do however dispute the idea that there is NO circumstance whatsoever where any player would favour United over Madrid. Obviously rubbish.
Yeah it tend to get annoying repeatedly reading about Madrid otherworldly pull they supposedly have over everyone else.

Some people are just mixing myths and facts.

Think there's a remote possibility he's announced today soon after the game? Or is it going to be one of the next days?
It would make sense to announce it today, if United/Pogba/Adidas are interested in as much attention as possible when it's announced.

The best part of this thread today:

People watching a flight that didn't have pogba on it fly close to turin, some people start to panic about "pogba landing in turin is bad news" only to fly over and people realising they were only tracking a random flight. Then mods remove all the pages because of the muppet fail, only to then wait a few more hours before Di Marzio announces it's all done.

This thread is now one of the all time greats! :lol::lol::lol::wenger::wenger::lol:
:lol:

My favourite post was one that said the plane is losing altitude so it's either landing in Rome or crashing in Rome.

I think there is a good chance of it being sometime soon after the game. I mean they've built up so much haven't they that now would be the most appropriate time to do so.

Muppets are now convinced that he will sign on Monday - is this another one of those, "48 hours to go" predictions?
Has any reliable source clearly stated that he is signing on Monday?

This is the latest reliable info regarding the move:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37001958

It states that we are on the verge of signing, but there are no time tables.
Jose himself stated that he wants the deal to be completed by end of next week (14/08/2016).

Where is the "Monday" prediction coming from?

So who is the real winner here! United, Juventus, Pogba, Raiola or Adidas? That's the beauty of this deal. Everyone gets what they want. Except Real Madrid ofcourse :D

I'd laugh if this dragged on so long we signed another centre back in the meantime, who then took number 6.
