I have stayed away from this thread for as long as possible but I'm throwing in the towel and going full muppet. Woooooooooooooo Pogba is coming home.
 
Look at how long the Mkhi announcement took! This will take longer. Expect announcement next week or in two weeks time.

We're gonna have to wait a while but it will be worth it.

I know you're joking but I really doubt the transfers are dictated by the opening and closing of NYSE. In the 3 years I can distinctly remember us announcing players when NYSE was closed. But having said that, all the players we bought in last few years have been announced during our prime time(Eastern Time), between 9am to 7pm. I almost certain that Pogba will also be announced during the same time interval.

something to do with fair trading by stock market rules. dont understand it entirely but if you're listed on a stock exchange your major changes should only be announced during the stock exchanges open hours. obviously we're on new york stock exchange.

Absolute and complete wibble
 
Stop being so fecking kneejerk. Mkhitaryan and Ibra took their time to be completed even if they were agreed for a long time. Player vacations complicate these sort of deals. Also 100m isn't 5m, I bet there's all sorts of documents to be issued like bank guarantees and other legal agreements which all take their time when such huge figures are involved. It's not happening.

He's right on the logic, but a player signing is not considered a major change. Only something that effects the share holders is consider major. Massive sponsorship deal, significant increase / decrease in earnings etc. Pogba while being expensive is just another player signing, and only about 50% of our gross profit from last year.

Like, Pogba would be a fixed asset if I am correct?, and only major operational changes are considered worthwhile to the stock exchange. My girlfriend is a funds accountant and she thinks a player could be a fixed asset?

I'm even bored typing this post myself, but I'll bite. Adidas take the vast majority of shirt sales. Literally nothing more needs to be said, but I hope you in fact will see sense in what everyone else is saying.
"No club has ever directly recouped a player’s transfer fee through shirt sales. Adidas, Nike, Puma, and other kit suppliers get 85-90% of shirt sale revenue and this is the industry standard... at best, United are likely to see around £3 million in additional revenue".

Thanks to whoever initially posted this link, hell of a find. http://thesetpieces.com/features/transfer-window-myth-busting/#ixzz4FlsvvP7E

Interesting read, thank you.
 
I'm sitting in the sun reading this thread and slugging a mojito. It's not a bad ole life.

Nothing. Just nothing. Just as the past 2 months. Or the past decade, when it comes to securing a worldclass midfielder..

I'll take your word for it but it does seem coincidental that, as another poster mentioned, we keep announcing signings during stock market hours.
