Dybala shirt number update in a few minutes too. Will be a key indicator I think.

No need to lose our shit. Just relax and look forward to the game later. There's been a lot of misinformation - perhaps on purpose. So just relax. Chill. And don't end it on 999 as that's an upside down 666. Though this thread is clearly evil 998 would be better for the religious folk among us :)

BBC still is quiet on all this. It does not seem plausible that bbc has such bad sources that they only wait to hear from the club before posting the news. If that was true, did United brief them off about Jose since Jan of this year when bbc started reporting about it? Not saying Di Marzio or whoever is lying, just that it's odd with the way this transfer has gone ahead.

Even if we fail against Leicester we can say that Pogba to come into the team will make a big difference.

Not automatically. Juventus haven't announced anything yet. If they wanted to announce it, they would. I'm not sure they would want to announced it by changing a players number...

I was just about to type that we're 10 minutes away from seeing if Dybala has the 10 for Juve or not. I guess if that is the case, something would have had to break before then, can't find out like that.
I'm pretty sure that Dybala will wear #21 today either way.

He'll be announced as #10 after Pogba has officially gone, in time for the new season.

Players wear all sorts of numbers in friendlies anyway.

I love this kind of uncertainty. The either he's staying or coming to United type (with no other clubs in the picture). He's coming home.

More twitter nonsense sends the muppets into over drive. These guys know nothing more than the average Joe. The only time it's 'done' is when he is stood holding the shirt/signing the contract. Twitter Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime elect can jog on for all I care...still amazes me how people latch on to their every tweet , despite them being completely wrong on many occasions.
:lol:

BBC has said things but they've just not made it the main focus of an article.

Getting close to the season though. Fans abiding shirts and all that.

So what's the update on Dybala's shirt number?(not that it'll mean much if there is no change but it'll virtually confirm the Pog stuff if he gets the number 10 shirt)

There's an article a couple pages back where the BBC say we're on the verge of signing him. It's just not a main headline yet.

Sure but they could still announce it later today even. It don't make much of a difference. I think for this kind of a deal, Juventus would probably want to announce it rather then imply it. If they feel hard done by then sure they might be embarassed and go the number route but I imagine they would rather brag about the deal

BBC don't know anything, they're useless.

United are on the verge of completing a transfer for the 23-year-old that could cost them in excess of £100m.

Doesn't it bother you why? This is a world record transfer we are talking about and bbc doesn't even have an article. This is why, it's a bit difficult to trust some twitter journalists. Let's see what happens though.

EDIT: Nevermind, just checked the bbc robson article where it says that United are on the verge of signing.

We should give Pogba the shirt number 100 and he can add a little '£' and 'm' either side of the numbers.

The BBC had an early scoop on Jose to United because their reporter, Simon Stone, has access to a big source within the Jorge Mendes camp.

This transfer has got sweet feck all to do with Mendes, hence Stone's lack of info. He's purely relying on Utd sources, which have pretty much said feck all about this deal.
