Yes - given the amount of money we are about to pay him, that would be a perfectly reasonable request!

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Jose was the one who gave Chelsea players a longer break, iirc. They just ended up taking the piss by coming back out of shape.
He's told Andy Burnham from sky that "We'll see" when asked about joining United after finishing his hols. For me though, Zlatan's smile is his post match interview is enough. He's coming.
Getting married. Honeymoon. Kind of a major life event.
Pogback?
And its not as if Schweiny needs to work on his fitness...white text
Where have I seen these quotes from Zidane before?Yeah, great way to start a relationship with a new player we've already upset once
POGBACK, cause, you know...
Ah how did I not see that
I wonder if Chelsea fans are having as big a meltdown over that comment as the caf did, somehow doubt it
The mobile site doesn't have background images for load times, so he was never there to begin with
If you go to this page -> http://www.juvestore.com/en/match-kits.html?___SID=U
He was on the "2016-2017 away match kit" photo but has now been replaced by Pjanic.
I can't believe this hasn't been concluded yet. If it's all done and dusted as all the different media outlets report, surely it would have been announced. At least Juve would ASAP.
And no, I don't believe it's because we're not going to announce it "because it would steal the limelight from Rooney's testimonial" and different sponsor related reasons.

He was gone from the Juventus shop on my browser too.
Muppets be calm - Dyabala is 10 @ Juve.
Haven't seen it mentioned yet, IIRC because we're listed on the NYSE it can't be announced to the general public etc until after its announced there, and that can only happen during trading hours I think, so not at weekends or during the morning UK time.
Same!
no
@ehsanul: "Hazard saga is like pogba saga, Zidane likes pogba, pogba is french, zidane is french, zidane is going to launch a sneak attack for pogba #confirmed"
Really? Where have you been?!
We've reached NYSE myth busting time I see.
Wouldn't bet on that.
Again
So do people think it could be announced today then?
waiting for Di Marzio update. Telegraph quoted some italian outlet which is claiming it will be done today. Sky are all over the shop with their pogba reporting.
Yeah it could but it's wiser to expect end of the week.
Zoom out
Zidane doing Zidane things
At least we don't need translation for his next press-conference, "(Insert player name) is a very, very good player. Obviously, Real wants best players, but he is a (insert club name) player"
Maybe, maybe not. To be fair, I just don't see why people keep guessing in here. Nobody knows when it's being announced - not even Di Marzio. All I know is that it's starting to be a little annoying/strange that it hasn't been announced yet if it really is so close to being a done deal. Especially as we're getting close to the start of the seasons. It is surely in Mourinho's interest to get this deal done asap. And I don't think that Pogba being on holiday is a factor. We could easily announce a deal subject to a medical - or even make him pass the medical in the US.
Hasn't the "waiting to announce on NYSE before announcing to the whole World" myth been busted time and time again?
Yeah but didn't he normally always have pretty intense pre-seasons? Was kind of famous for it. He won't be happy not having his full squad assembled.
Every single time people are waiting for confirmation of something.
FYI: Just to stop it getting spammed in here soon, NO Juve haven't given Dybala No.10 yet. Someone online faked the picture and now it's spreading through twitter like a virus.
The only change is the removal of pogba from the away kit on the http://www.juvestore.com/it/kit-gara.html site.

I think with this being such a massive signing, they will want him in Manchester first, doing all possible media and sponsor work in conjunction with the signing. This is the kind of statement-making, attention-grabbing move that Woodward sells to sponsors and a simple "subject to medical" type announcement won't have the same impact as a full media-friendly mega announcement would. They've probably got the whole social media team working on the hashtag as we speak.
If it's not resolved within this week, then move on to the next target. Pogba is good, but team cohesiveness is more important, particularly with a new manager in charge. It's bad enough that we have such a short preseason, we don't need another road block by having to implement such a player. If Pigba really wants this move, he starts pushing for it. If he's just as happy staying at Juve, then no hard feelings but isn't worth pursuing it any longer.
We all know that the reason why this is getting delayed is cause Ed wants first 1000 pages in this thread.
And how would moving for another player solve the issue of having to implement him at a late stage?
He is on holiday until next week. What exactly do you expect to be happening right now.
