Got it from NYCFCWatch that it won't be until tomorrow morning. Long day for all involved so I'm assuming Juve sent documents a bit later than expected.

Maybe it was the time change. Juve revealed their kit for next year today. No Pirlo in the promo pieces. We need to remember that Juve has no reason to expedite anything. I'm sure finalizing the paperwork for a integral player that's still under contract wasn't their top priority. There's a lot of pieces involved. Everywhere is saying tomorrow now, but we've heard this song before...I think we all feel it's at its end though.

And in other news, Generalissimo Francisco Franco still dead.

(Sorry to all you youngsters out there who have no idea what I'm talking about. 1970s cultural reference.)

And I was thinking.. Goosh, what a 30´s reference, Guernica and all that :oops:

Well yes, indirectly. Saturday Night Live started in 1975, which was when Franco died (which was big news). In the "News" segment they mentioned that he'd died, and then for the next year or two as a running gag would every week say that he was still dead.

I *knew* I'd have to explain this, darn it!

It was a joke about how long his death took. Every night on the network evening news, the anchor would breathlessly lead with the story that Franco was close to death, or still hanging on, or barely alive. This went on for weeks. After he died, Chevy Chase would lead off Weekend Update with "Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead", or "Franco is still valiantly holding on in his fight to remain dead." This too went on for weeks.

There was also suspicion that Franco was dead and his less-than-transparent government was keeping this fact from the public to give themselves more time to arrange for a successor. In the end, SPain made a successful transition to democracy, possibly despite the efforts of those close to Franco.
 
YouTube vids of Chevy Chase are signs of... trouble.

Save us Pirlo, your our only hope.
