I think Monday going to be PO6BA DAY
Fair enough. At least you didn't say Madrid.There's been a nagging doubt in my mind through the whole thing, and I've said it plenty of times, it's all just been a bit odd.
Nothing more to say now really until he turns up in either Manchester or Turin.
This sort of post to me is daft, a shed load of stuff has clearly gone on behind the scenes, the deal is clearly far advanced, hence why Jose speaks like he does, and so many in the media speak like they do about the transfer.What I like most about this thread is people being 100% confident its already happened, we have signed him apparently but I guess I must have somehow missed it.
Well I don't believe reports.Well if we believe reports, the paperwork is being prepared now for signing. Why would we announce anything before signing? Chill out
Agree its probably very advanced, that's it, people literally just guessing that its all done and taken care of is what is daft. Just like the people who think we are just waiting for the right time to announce as if its all a strategy, not like juve would announce they've sold him straight away which they obviously would.This sort of post to me is daft, a shed load of stuff has clearly gone on behind the scenes, the deal is clearly far advanced, hence why Jose speaks like he does, and so many in the media speak like they do about the transfer.
We'll know sooner than then imo. Pogba expected back at training tomorrow I think.I think Monday going to be PO6BA DAY
In fairness you should never be %100 confident. As we all know things could change regardless of what is going on begins the scenes.This sort of post to me is daft, a shed load of stuff has clearly gone on behind the scenes, the deal is clearly far advanced, hence why Jose speaks like he does, and so many in the media speak like they do about the transfer.
Let them be gloomy, I think they prefer it that way. Until it's done and dusted some will tend to be rather unbearable. Just relax and enjoy the finish line.This sort of post to me is daft, a shed load of stuff has clearly gone on behind the scenes, the deal is clearly far advanced, hence why Jose speaks like he does, and so many in the media speak like they do about the transfer.
Or in the video game world Duke Nukem Forever and Elite Dangerous.The wait hasn't been as long as Guns N Roses Chinese Democracy to be released though! That'll take some beating...
Longer than Dr dre's final album yet to be released?The wait hasn't been as long as Guns N Roses Chinese Democracy to be released though! That'll take some beating...
There is no training on Sunday. Juventus are in London playing West Ham.We'll know sooner than then imo. Pogba expected back at training tomorrow I think.
That's bull.Let them be gloomy, I think they prefer it that way. Until it's done and dusted some will tend to be rather unbearable. Just relax and enjoy the finish line.
He is due to report to Turin training for fitness tests etc, I presume with Evra.There is no training on Sunday. Juventus are in London playing West Ham.
Well I guess, we will know if Evra reports & Pogba doesn't.He is due to report to Turin training for fitness tests etc, I presume with Evra.
There is absolutely no reason Juve wouldn't announce immediately, I don't think the lack of news is because its fallen through but more like pogba has some forms such as the termination of contract to sign at juventus kind of thing, maybe that will happen over the weekend then announcementPerhaps we really were very close to agreeing a deal with Juventus a couple of weeks ago when it was reported but we couldn't get the deal done and they had a change of mind? I really doubt that a deal that was agreed over a week ago would still be kept a secret by both clubs, makes zero sense.
I think we are still in negotiations but due to the size of transfer and Juventus being reluctant to sell, it's getting difficult. I'd probably expect this to be done in around 2 weeks but won't be surprised at all if the transfer window passes by and Pog is still a Juve player.There is absolutely no reason Juve wouldn't announce immediately, I don't think the lack of news is because its fallen through but more like pogba has some forms such as the termination of contract to sign at juventus kind of thing, maybe that will happen over the weekend then announcement
This discussion on valuation is something I just don't get. People seem to have a massively distorted view of the game thanks to Ronaldo. So, just for the sake of it, let's go slightly further back in the game. Before Ronaldo (let's forget the pesky Kaka fee), Zidane was the most expensive player in the world. He cost Real Madrid GBP 57 Mn at the age of 29. He only ever scored 10 or more league goals in a season once (for Bordeaux in 1992-93). His season-high for goals scored was 12 (across all competitions). Here's the context:I'm a massive fan of Modric also but they are completely different players. Modric to me is like a later Scholes or Pirlo in the sense they control the tempo/rythem of the team. Where Pogba is more like a Gerrard type in the sense that he will do the spectacular but often go missing for periods in the game. £100m is laughable but if United want to sign the top talent to get back to the top of the tree. Then this is what they have to do by bidding high to block other interest until they are back in champions league finals and a more attractive proposition for the top top players all who want champions league football.
On a side note with the fee being absurd. When you look at other transfers say Troy Deeney £35m + then in relation to this the £100m looks money well spent.
That makes no difference. There is no "surprise" to this transfer, the press all know about it.This talk about sponsers and whatever preparing for the biggest event evaaaa is bs. If it was as done as believed, Juve would have said feck your plans of grandeur and announced already in the way Dortmund did a week before we were ready to announce.
Well, you could just sit down and relax a bit. This is done. Its just not official. I am sure you will know when it isI'm getting fed up now. I preferred the old days when transfers came out of nowhere like Andy Cole and Cantona

2 weeks? I think we have been in negotiations for a while, I would say within a week this will end either way, can't imagine it dragging out much longer after he flies back to Italy.I think we are still in negotiations but due to the size of transfer and Juventus being reluctant to sell, it's getting difficult. I'd probably expect this to be done in around 2 weeks but won't be surprised at all if the transfer window passes by and Pog is still a Juve player.
Nonsense, Juve would 100% announce as soon as it was done, similar to Dortmund.Well, you could just sit down and relax a bit. This is done. Its just not official. I am sure you will know when it is
Yep I reckon if it gets done, it will be very close to the deadline day.2 weeks? I think we have been in negotiations for a while, I would say within a week this will end either way, can't imagine it dragging out much longer after he flies back to Italy.
I would hate that, I mean nothing beats a deadline day signing, but he wouldn't be match fit until well into September.Yep I reckon if it gets done, it will be very close to the deadline day.
All hail the muppet King. We are not worthyWell, you could just sit down and relax a bit. This is done. Its just not official. I am sure you will know when it is
you honestly think this is going to go on for another 25 days?Yep I reckon if it gets done, it will be very close to the deadline day.
That was effectively the equivalent of BBC website back then, so if it was on there you knew it was going to happen.BBC Ceefax page 302 kicks Twitter's arse everytime.
Yep, I truly do.you honestly think this is going to go on for another 25 days?
No. Mourinho said it would be done by next week.Yep, I truly do.
