I just don't think it's unusual to switch off while on holidays and let a decision like that sit for a bit without actively trying to get it sorted.
Agree with this. Maybe I'm just a pessimist but everything about this screams to me that he's staying.
Odds more or less correlates with chances. In football matches and in transfers. Of course less in last ones. But still. I dont even remember when we have signed a player with odds 10/1 or so. Offers are usually around 1/10 or 1/20 before we announce deals. Except with youngster when nobody offers odds.
Maybe if you hate your job. But if you were excited about a move you wouldn't stop thinking about it. I've made many important work or school related decisions on holiday. That's how life is for mortal people.
Money is moving the odds here and people are betting based on the information available. The bookies don't know anything more than anyone else about transfers.
Nah I'm just a stickler for time-off being just that. We get precious little of it. Literally everything can wait imo.
I dont think he switched off, i think hes taking a break before he pushes ahead. Its only in the news vacuum where its said hes undecided but that simply seems to be from not telling Madrid anything. He wasnt reportedly undecided when this broke, we cant really believe both.
But still low odds correlates with chances. Follow those. Like i said, i dont remember we have ever announced player with odds like 10/1 or even 5/1. What ever moves odds, it correlates with chances. Even Sancho was 1/20 before we announced it. Same with Pogba, Maguire etc. Coincidence?
Never heard of deadlines?
Taking a break is pretty much what I meant by switching off.
I agree, unless it's a life-death situation for loved ones, everything else can wait , including work, i don't allow anyone from work to contact me during work.
Seems difficult....
I don't have deadlines when I'm holiday.
That's Northern Rail for you.
Brilliant!
That's because the world and his mother knows a deal is done before it's announced. More and more info comes out and odds fall as it gets more likely.

Wow sounds like a done deal. Great news.
Who was the done dealio guy before Romano became billy big bollocks?
For United, I believe it used to be the BBC. If they reported on a United transfer without referring to their Gossip sections, then the transfer had to be taken seriously.
And you surmise that from.........?
We asked for him but didn’t make a bid? How does that work then?
Exactly. Should be done soon.
Ah, sarcasm, difficult to tell on here. Well done.
You’ve lost me
feck me you wasn’t being sarcastic?
How would his reaction from that tweet be sarcastic? This is done.
Finally some sense.
Some of you lot are fecking mental.
Read the tweet again.
I've read it quite a few times.
Because there's not even been a price quoted and we haven't made a bid.
