Pogba going back to Turin Monday is in no way a negative.
Yeah, but we only lost out on Hazard because we didn't want to pay the agent. No penny pinching this time around.
Looking at this from a different angle, there's every chance that this isn't happening. I mean all the sources that have really stoked the flames and aaid he's coming, have also been proven wrong on other claims so far. Dates for signing etc. Plus they're all contradicting themselves constantly. Who's to say they're not wrong about us getting him?
I always get told that BBC are the best source and their guy said last night that there's still no deal. If thats true, it's easily possible that we're no longer negotiating.

At least, pick examples which are relevant. Fergie chose to not sign hazard due to his agent fees. Here, Woodward is gagging to throw suitcases of money at Juventus and Raiola
It's a world record transfer. Our club are going to want to make a song and dance out of this, not let the Juventus boss announce it in a press conference.
What is positive about it ?
I tought the consenus was that the deal was agreed and the only thing preventing Pogba from signing was that he was on a holiday. He is now back from that holiday, so what is preventing him from signing the deal ? Why should he go back to Juve if he everything was already agreed with all parties ?
Enlighten us
We were willing to throw dollar at Ronaldinho then. Stuff happens, until the transfer is over the line it can go wrong.
Jose basically conformed it yesterday ffs!
I know but maybe we don't want to pay agent fees this time, how would we know, anything can happen until it is done.
Why? Does he have Rojo in his suitcase?
United have to wait until monday for the NYSE to open before they can make an official announcement, right?
Nope. Kenyon tried to haggle/penny pinch with PSG and we lost out.
The Hazard deal involved two and more more clubs seeking his signature. There are zero reliable reports of anyone else in the mix for Pogba but us. Also, few clubs that could conjure the fee and reported wages we're putting on the table.
Not required.
That's a horseshit statement when people come out with these platitudes about how society should be spending their money when you invest your time in this forum and on matches earning the same entity it's spending money.
The delay is Juve trying to get a replacement tied down it seems.
We have been haggling over raoilas fees for about 1 month apparently, same old then.
Juve also want to keep him
All the top italian journos have said that there is agreement on that part too.
It is true what you say, no reliable source has really confirmed it. I do think we want him, I do think we are negotiating, but why the feck does everybody pressume that it is a done deal ?
I want to believe it is a done deal, but if it was wouldn't we have the BBC reporting it ? Wouldn't we have some sort of official confirmation by now, wouldn't we atleast now that Pogba's holiday is over see him going to Manchester instead of Turin.
This is not done yet
Then shouldn't he be a united player?
That probably won't happen anytime soon.
A pic of Pogba wearing red socks will do it, though.
He will be.
By the same token, why have a beer? There's people starving and dying in Africa and being tortured in Pakistan. Get real! We don't live in a communist world and reality bites and occasionally sucks. So face facts and live with it.
The negative camp grows, welcome friend, you've chosen a tough path but a righteous one.
He said we are signing one of the best midfielders and he when asked about Pogba he said I don't talk about Juve players because it isn't ethical.
It is not a confirmation of any sort.
Week before the fecking addidas also confirmed it.
Only a club announcement can confirm it, if the BBC says it is 100% done I'll take that aswell but it is not the case
but he isn't? that's what I have been arguing all day.
Jose has already stated in an interview that he is looking to get the deal done next week.
It won't happen tomorrow.
I personally think that next Friday (or thereabouts) will be Pog day.
If it doesn't happen by then, he'll be playing for Juve this season.
But he will be.
He could be, I think theres a stong chance of it, but he isn't, so saying it is done is wrong. It could be right in 2 hours time even but saying it now is wrong.
No other club can afford this fee. Except Madrid who won't spend an amount as has been repeatedly reported all summer by Marca.
Well if the deal is depending on Juve first getting in a replacement than clearly it isn't as done as many on here claim right ?
What if Juve don't manage to tie down a replacement ?
Is there any way to stop ppl saying basically ,pretty much ,almost and practically done ..thats wat is most annoying in this thread
Until its done its not done end of story.. ppl have said this deal is nearly done for weeks now .
We are just waiting for the final signatures. It's done.
Exactly these are the longest 48 hours ever
It just isn't done yet, it might get done in the next days or next week or it might not get done at all but one thing is defiantly certain and that is that isn't done right now so people really need to stop talking like it is.
That Adidas advert will looks so fecking awkward if this doesn't push through
Doubt we'd have allowed it to look that way without this deal being sorted tbh
So excited about this, such a massive statement of intent. He is going to improve us so much.
No he didn't. He's got other targets and he said he hopes we have another signed by the start of the season. That could apply to any of our targets.
Well things went tits up.
