Equally, you could point to the more recent case of Eliaquim Mangala. That was a done deal long before it was announced. Granted, that was eventually leaked with the OS video, but clearly the club have done deals and not announced them straight away in the recent past.
While that is true in case of the official Club announcement, the press already reported the deal as done ages before that. If we had REALLY signed Pogba, De Bruyne or Sterling already, I believe the press would have gotten wind of it already. I don't believe this could be hidden from anyone, not with such high profile players.
The longer this continues the more I am getting worried that this will summer transfer will be another utter disappointment just like the last, what, 4 windows? Basically since we signed Aguero...no matter what Khaldoon says in his post season interviews.
