Yep, I'm a bit miffed how people can say it could go either way at this point. Everything is pointing at it going just our way.

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.

Exactly. They aren't just at some hotel, they're relaxing in the pool of a big ass mansion on a little island in Biscayne Bay known for housing the super rich and famous. Pogba is tripling his salary, getting the biggest transfer deal in history, and they're getting another 20% on top of that (either for Raiola, or split between them, depending on who you believe).
What they're saying, without actually saying it, is that they feel like fecking Kings of the World.
All this just to watch someone different kicking a bag of wind up and down a mowed field.
Juve fans really think he is staying? 
Hibiscus Island apparently.
What's the Pogba thread in the newbz looking like? Any aspiring muppets, how many posts?
Wow 6.1m followers and almost 200k likes in 1 hour. Didn't know he was so popular.
Just noticed Ed now
It's a reference to a french hiphop song so means absolutely nothing..
Oh shut up "dalekucharski" you weapon.
Yeah, he's really talking out of his arse.
It is complete tripe. Even if we were to make all the money the numbers don't stack up, not even close. A few milion is the most we could earn back. Even Messi and Ronaldo wouldn't earn it back through shirt sales.
Close enough! If I chance by the man ...
If Pogba is done after Higuian then this could go on for long.
We're slowing down, lads! Keep 'em rollin'
This thread needs more Photoshopping of that Pogba Raiola photo
Hey, I just thought what the caption means "we say it all by saying nothing"
It's a variant on "a picture is worth a thousand words" - in the picture they are both very happy, laughing....

Still nothing in comparison to these guys;
1 - Cristiano - 70.1m
2 - Neymar - 55.1m
3 - Messi 49.2m
4 - James Rodriquez - 24m
5 - Bale - 20.4 m
6 - Zlatan - 17 m
7 - Suarez - 15m
8 - Benzema - 14.2m
9 - David Luiz - 14m
10 - Thiago Silva - 10.1m
Before Zlatan - Rooney was our most followed with 7.2m. And imagine Rooney was the poster boy for us for year. You can see why Pogbas supposed brand is valued highly with us.
PS - Madrid are clearly very good at this social media stuff. The Madrid guys had crazy gains from December last year til now. Ronaldo went from 39m to 70, Bale from 11m to 20, Rodriguez from 16.7 to 24. Something is surely dodgy there...
I want to get excited too but are we really taking stuff from a photo of Pog having a good time with his agent?
It doesn't mean anything, they are both super loaded anyway despite a Utd deal.
Not trying to put a dampener on anything I promise, I just want someone to explain if they know something that I might have missed?
Or are we all on the beer like myself now?

Unless we announce Pogba first. Juventus fans feel sad and all, and then BOOM. They announce Higuain. Their fans filled with glee.
One can hope
Frog juice (RIP Kermit)
They're on page 30 with 1195 posts, no real muppetry down there!
Barcelona and Real Madrid rule this list
It's more than shirt sales. And more than direct Pogba merchandise. It's his face on noodle packages and tire promos and all this other stuff that will help entice bigger club sponsorship fees. Rooney's career is winding down and his marketability will wind down, too. United need a new "face of the club" that sponsors are excited to put on their product. Additionally, he is a young, trendy, star. He's going to be a football star that is soon seen hanging with stars of the NFL, NBA, etc., plus the music and entertainment world. Adidas will help with that (getting he and other Adidas sponsored stars together and encouraging them to hang out), much like Nike does with Neymar. All that kind of promotion raises his profile, which in turn raises United's profile. IMHO, the value that Woodward/The Glazers see in this is 50% about his football, and 50% about aligning the United brand with the Pogba brand.

He doesn't have to be in Turin for Juventus to announce him, does he?
to be fair, we weren't able to post in the mains thread. Our Sneijder thread in the newbies was rediculous
Even the Higuain stuff keeps rolling back. It was supposed to be tomorrow he would be a Juve player. Now it's next week. What a bore.
Photoshop somewhere Ed with scuba dive gear,or at least scuba mask.
Whats up with you, some new party? Watch out for guys in Juventus shirts.to be fair, we weren't able to post in the mains thread. Our Sneijder thread in the newbies was rediculous
I don't think I can continue with another week
Another week of this would be annoying.
saw some one with a Manchester United shirt in the pharmacy this morning, coincidence... I think not
Wow the newbs have changed since i was down there, the newbs used to be bigger muppets than the mains in my time lol.
It's on!
Another week my god... Can't let it take over my life so much
United kits are popular there? Or not?
Like some guys have said earlier in the thread, I would be more delighted if he signed cause I know how much it would PISS off Madrid, City,and the dippers so on and so forth.
