unless we keep highlighting how they aren't even in the race, people start to fall back into this "Madrid panic". I know it's stupid, but mentioning once how they aren't in the race will then stop 5 pages of "OMG MADRID WILL GET HIM"

It's as ridiculous as the woman who had a phobia of beans at this stage.
 
Gianluca Di Marzio and Fabrizio Romano must be delighted when this saga finishes so then they'll no longer be pestered for updates on what's going to happen with Paul Pogba.

So many of us are burnt out, we'll probably message him for another month asking if he's sure out of reflex ;)

i actually feel more for the people on twitter that are translating info for english speaking crowds. Poor folks constantly get spammed with "IS THIS POGBA NEWS RELIABLE" and "USE ENGLISH PLEASE"

I'm surprised people don't learn Italian as a result of SAGAs just get a dictionary out and learn some words!
 
I saw some tweets the Pogba medical will be this coming Wednesday, Woodward on his way to London to prepare receiving Pogba.

If this is true, the megastore online is going to crash from all the Pogba and Ibra shirt sales that are going to happen next week! I will get one of each too.

I can't wait and expect all the hype with our new superstars transfers over as great, fast, attacking football on the pitch. I am still concerned about Rooney though, as any team with an out of form Rooney will end up struggling in the premier league. But at least we have a great coach in Mourinho, who will hopefully hold him accountable.
Let's wait and see how it all comes together. There was a similar fanfare in 2014 after the signings we made and all the semen that was lost thinking about Falcao and ADM.

Feck them two, i for one will be glad as it seems to be overtaking my life at the moment, 1st thing i do when i get out of bed is to check on Pogba updates then through out the day I'm constantly checking to the point where my mrs thinks I'm cheating on her with some bird on my phone!
On a serious note i do hope something happens very soon as its become tedious now,would be great if we sign him but we can't wait around to long as we need to find a back up
 
This thread has been great at least for the laughs and here is hoping it is crowned off by Pogba's signing.
 
Whoever compared United to City is an idiot. United is a mammoth of club, @Gasolin


So much for the seemingly daily Real Madrid panic in this thread. I don't even think Perez is trying. I think Zidane is the one kicking up a stink and perez is sitting back and seeing if the deal collapses (which it wont).

:drool:
 
100 mio is way to much. He is worth only 97, I think.

On a more serious note: Juventus paying €90m for 27 year (EDIT: nearly 29) old Higuain is maybe stranger than us paying €120m for #Pogba (23 years), isn't it?

Edit: Thanks to @RDCR07
 
I can see this being announced today or tomorrow now, must be very close, Juve have gone through the motions, denial he's moving, announcing that they hope he will stay, sign a big name to appease the fans, finally admitting they're in talks to sell him and they are in the final stage of making things difficult so they can say we tried
 
The Monday announcement theory looks spot on for me.

From us? I don't think so. There will be something big from Di Marzio or someone else, I'm certain. But the actual medical and all of that stuff may be later in the week when Ed and Jose are back (before flying out to Sweden). We'll let Juve announce Higuain first.

I can see as doing an announcement with "pending a medical" thrown in just because of the hype of the deal.

I wonder when was the last time we made that kind of an announcement on a transfer? Genuine question, not attacking you.
 
23001 posts already. We only need an another 3858 posts to break Vidal's record. Come on muppets, lets do it before the saga is concluded!

I will make this count!

on topic, I think he is as good as ours now. Pending for Juve to sort things out for Higuain. Probably sometime in next week.
 
Would make more sense IMO if Juventus announced Higuain after Pogba's departure.

So we might see an announcement soon.
 
I think there will be too much admin to complete to have a full announcement on Monday but I expect the briefings to journalists to start tonight with a "United reach deal with Juventus. Contract arrangements being agreed" sort of headline.

Looking at recent transfers we have done this to make it look like we have not already spoken to target/agreed a deal before clubs have reached agreement.

We then have 2 days of photoshoots etc happening to make the big announcement across the world.

So my prediction.Informal announcement tonight. Thread locked on Tuesday when Juventus jump the gun and announce it before we agreed.
 
So according to the AS article, the announcement will be on Wednesday or Thursday.
No way we can hold out that long. Before then there will be more false reports of Madrid swooping in, causing multiple muicides (muppet suicides, I'm claiming that one). They should stop dwindling their fan population and announce now.

Don't worry, nobody else will be.
 
At what point do we say to those greedy buggers, " Enough is enough, here's our final offer, take it or feck off. " If we keep agreeing to pay those exorbitant amount and they keep asking us to pay agents cut, adds bonuses and sell on clauses etc, agreeing to all of this could affect us in future negotiations for players. Even the most insignificant clubs out there would know we'll pay over the odds in the end and could take us to the cleaners.
If this is true they are doing it as they really don't want to sell him,they also see that we are loaded and will pay though the nose.
 
Maybe it is us that's delaying things while we wait on our order of a stage (borrowed from Madrid), fireworks and dancing girls.

maybe a mod could update the title to highlight Romano's comments that Real Madrid aren't even in for pogba? Might save the muppet-cides :lol::lol:
