And common senseI feel you took the brunt of the abuse earlier today but at this point the consensus is on your side

Sure. At least some of it should of been directed at yourself instead but then there's always next time.I feel you took the brunt of the abuse earlier today but at this point the consensus is on your side
Nearly got me with that white text you sneaky bastardStop wetting your pants, so fecking wimp. Of course the deal is done. Didn't you see Mourinho's presser yesterday? Haven't you read what Di Marzio stated a few days ago? Hope you're just wumming.
Just kidding. This is just the usual reaction. I don't think the deal is done - then it would've been announced.
Why? Why does it matter if there's pictures of Pogba on the site when we announce it?Because drafting a contract is a huge job in itself. And we probably want to announce it with a picture Pogba signing it. Instead of announcing that a deal is agreed and then later the pictures.
I doubt he'll be getting 20 goals a season like Lampard, as I assume Mourinho will play Pogba in a deeper role. Having said that, Pogba did play in the more advanced midfield role last season for Juventus and bagged 10 goals.Anyone else think Mourinho & Pogba's team will be pushing him to become a goalscoring midfielder like Lampard? I'm certain that's a key reason he's so desperate to join United.
He said this a couple of months ago back in April
He would be a global superstar that transcends sports like Ronaldo, Neymar, LeBron, Kobe, Messi, Jordan etc if he can score 20 goals every season like Lampard did with his God given talent, flair & Rockstar lifestyle.
Can see Mourinho building his team around him & giving him the freedom to get forward like he did with Lampard.
I don't know, it's a genuine question. I would have presumed that a company making a huge investment would be relevant to shareholders and the stock market.What would investors do with knowing this? Afaik, No company informs it's day to day operations with shareholders irrespective of the size of the transaction.
I'm sure we could have asked juve to hold off on announcing. We probably want to milk the whole event announcing it with Pogba holding a United shirt like we did with di Maria. La stampa has reported that he wouldn't return to Italy anyway.
Sure. The impression I get from this prospective deal is that Juve are fairly happy to cash in. They know keeping a super star like Pogba in Serie A in the long term is not realistic and feel the offer they're getting now is very good.And Juve would just say 'ok, we'll wait for you'? Not to mention the fact that they have told him to head to Turin on monday.
Clearly it does else we wouldn't delay announcing Zlatan till he came to United eventhough he announced it couple of days earlier. Same with mkhitariyan and Dortmund.Why? Why does it matter if there's pictures of Pogba on the site when we announce it?
I know, I feel I was getting away with one because at the time there was only a couple of us thinking before posting and that sort of thing, a few have come out nowSure. At least some of it should of been directed at yourself instead but then there's always next time.
I prefer the salty transfers thenSure. The impression I get from this prospective deal is that Juve are fairly happy to cash in. They know keeping a super star like Pogba in Serie A in the long term is not realistic and feel the offer they're getting now is very good.
If both sides are on good terms, it's not unreasonable to believe that the announcement wishes of the team handing over ~£100m are to be respected.
Dortmund announced the Mkhi transfer around a week before United did. I'm sure United would've preferred if they'd waited. But that was a salty transfer from their pov. They desperately did not want to lose Mkhi but we had them bent over a barrel because of his contractual situation.
I don't think any contract has ever taken as long as this.Because drafting a contract is a huge job in itself. And we probably want to announce it with a picture Pogba signing it. Instead of announcing that a deal is agreed and then later the pictures.
They have written the magna carta itself faster than this contractI don't think any contract has ever taken as long as this.
I think it's more to do with the fact that everyone that told us this was a done deal also told us he'd be here by now. And he's not. So how much of their claims was bullshit?Have I missed something? There's a huge feeling of doom and gloom because Allegri never confirmed Pogba is leaving and said he would be expected back in training? It's hardly a death nail?
Yeah the doom and gloom isn't people saying the deal is off and shut, its just pointing out if pogba is due in training tomorrow obviously the deal hasn't happened, the saga is still very much alive.Have I missed something? There's a huge feeling of doom and gloom because Allegri never confirmed Pogba is leaving and said he would be expected back in training? It's hardly a death nail?
I don't think it would be required. Majority shareholders are the glazers anyway so even if it is required they may have already informed them. Plus United shares are probably not that highly traded so it's unlikely to see a big surge anywayI don't know, it's a genuine question. I would have presumed that a company making a huge investment would be relevant to shareholders and the stock market.
The reports are that the contract is all ready to be signed as per di marzio.I don't think any contract has ever taken as long as this.
Wasn't that last week? How long can it take to find a pen.The reports are that the contract is all ready to be signed as per di marzio.
That's when we normally pick up our form anyway.He'll be match fit around christmas time.
Thinking at how best to annoy others before posting you mean. Smart tactics.I know, I feel I was getting away with one because at the time there was only a couple of us thinking before posting and that sort of thing, a few have come out now
We may even have insisted on it, in an effort to break the holiday record set by Moyes when he (eventually) joined usI think we were basically so desperate to sign him we agreed to any demand including the world's longest holiday.
From your lips to God's ears.I reckon it will happen Monday
It's actually death knell, the sound of a lone church bell slowly ringing for a funeral, but to be honest death nail works quite well itself.Have I missed something? There's a huge feeling of doom and gloom because Allegri never confirmed Pogba is leaving and said he would be expected back in training? It's hardly a death nail?
Ha! I genuinely would love to be of the mindset its done, no worries kind of thing but I need things to be official before I can enjoy it, I guess its a consequence of previous sagas, especially thiago, if we get some good news i'll be the most positive person on here.Thinking at how best to annoy others before posting you mean. Smart tactics.
They are a top club but they are not in a top league. You are free to ask whom people prefer between bale and pogbaSo is Juve a top club or not, make up your mind?
Pogba was voted into the FifPro(?) best XI by his peers, so he's really not that far away from Bale's level. Unless of course you know better than them.
Haha I'm sorry.It's actually death knell, the sound of a lone church bell slowly ringing for a funeral, but to be honest death nail works quite well itself.
Do you think he prefer us to real?Why do people keep making the argument he doesn't want to play for us when there is no basis to it?
I'm not debating your take on the others. I would however say that from all that we know, we do seem to be his choice (unless you believe Marca's sob stories). Now, if he returns to Juve for training and nothing moves for the next fortnight, I'd concede that there's merit to being a bit worried. Right now though, I don't see why we're suddenly terrified that we're not his first choice / he's not that keen on us etc.
My link to Celtic is that it's a one sided league. Even juventus/Milanese fans say thatLook I'm not going to argue about which player is better or not given I see it very debatable and it would only derail from the main point.
So to get back to it, how about you answer me properly? I asked you whether you've never seen a world record breaking transfer fee drag on before. And from you answers you're obviously aware of it happening before with both Ronaldo and Bale. Whether it came from lesser players or lesser league is beside the point. We're talking about a world record transfer fee which is what is common in all 3 cases.
And please stop with the Celtic comparisons. This is why opposing team fans think some in here are arrogant and delusional. We're talking about Juventus here, not some bloody third rate teams. In case you're not aware Juve are still one of the biggest European club in the world, it might help you knowing that.
3 yearsHow long is left on his Juve contract ?
That wasn't your argument. You said he's "nowhere near" Bale, to which I replied.They are a top club but they are not in a top league. You are free to ask whom people prefer between bale and pogba
I've just caught up on the last 10+ pages.
This thread is absolutely hilarious when you consider with every post the fact none of us have a clue what's actually happening
Speak for yourself, pal.I've just caught up on the last 10+ pages.

I don't recall having been particularly hyperbolic in either direction, really.Speak for yourself, pal.
