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.
Yep, quit with the spamathon and reposting stuff from either banned accounts or stuff that was posted as few as three pages ago.
He is a midfield two!
Once the Higuian deal is done we can all get on the Muppet train 
What's taking the Higuian deal so long anyway?

Come on now...
That was cruel.
My personal feeling is that the Pogba deal is 90% done/agreed. Much like when Ibra agreed to join us.
After so much negativity over the last 3 years (with low grade managers unable to convince Galactico class players to join and then stay with the team), Jose appears to have completely changed this. Almost as if he waved a magic wand.
Announcement should follow soon, as Jose will want to get this guy playing against LCFC (which I think is about 12 days away).
I had a quick check of the Vidal thread and it had 25858 replies.
I think it will be fitting if we announce the arrival of the most expensive player in the World, with new Transfer Record and the announcement coincided almost exactly when we break the longest thread record.
The longest thread of all time, about the most expensive player of all time. It's so apt.

Is it safe to say that you think this deal wont happen?
He will be here by the end of the week, relax guys the wait will be over soon. No way this isn't happening, everything points to Pogba being a United player very soon. Will be great to have him back here and I'm sure he will do well, I just hope he can help us win a few titles to justify the record amount of money we are spending to make this happen/
We have to talk about where Pogba fits. We shouldn't play him in a 2 man midfield, he should have freedom to be the most attacking midfielder in a 4-3-3.
Carrick is nailed on to be the pivot, but who would be the box-to-box in that setup? Maybe Ander can raise his game for next year, but i'm still not feeling 100% confident in that midfield.

Not convinced about the Man United shorts but I don't want to enhance and augment that area of the picture.
Looks more like budgie smugglers rather than trunks or Jammers.
Stretford pool looks like it has had an upgrade though!

I knew I should have learned Italian. Could have come handy here.
is anyone getting two posts per page? I am on mobile
Two on some, nothing on others. Pogba has broke @Damien
BFS surely.
The caf has broken the Pogba thread. It's fecked up for me!
Same and I'm on PC.
Yep. None on some, one on others. This page is ok though.
I always said 621 would be a good'un.
Yeah page count is going crazy, thought something had happened
Yeah same. Thread post count is hundreds down, I assume it's to do with that. On that basis you may aswell delete 90% of the posts in this thread
It's @Rado_N
Glitch in the Pogtrix
This is what Raiola is wearing in the pool.
He's wearing red Adidas shorts, maybe a hint from Pogba, welcome to 'Agent's Shortsgate'
Wednesday is the day then.
So you're suggesting Rooney won't be on the pitch? Our front three will be Martial-Ibrahimovic-Mkhitaryan. If Pogba in a three man midfield with Carrick, surely that means Rooney isn't involved. It's what the team needs, but I still can't help feeling Jose will find a way to shoehorn him into the starting IX.
Yeah just told me there was 6 new pages. Almost had another heart attack. Just after i recovered after almost suffering one due to the locked thread.
Did you not get the memo? It's now next Monday, when Higuain will finally make it on foot to Turin.
The newer pages on this thread have 2 posts per page.. what bluemoon feckery is this?
This transfer has been done for sometime. Once Higuian is announced tomorrow the Pogba deal will be moved forward and we may see something on Wednesday.
We have to try to be as good as bluemoon.
Premium sport say Wednesday and I trust them with my life. sort of
Wednesday then.
I don't think there's any doubt that the deal to bring Pogba back to United is complete, and will be announced soon. Even his "cryptic" message from earlier..."we say it all by saying nothing at all", in my opinion, confirms it. The overwhelming majority of reporting, for a good few weeks now, has been that we're about to spend a record amount of money to bring him back to Old Trafford. If this was false, and/or if Pogba preferred to stay at Juventus or move to Real Madrid, it would be very easy for him (either directly or through his agent) to say so - an interview, press release or simple tweet would get the job done. Neither Pogba nor his agent have refuted the rumours in any meaningful way. They've essentially said nothing, thereby effectively confirming that the move is imminent. It will be wrapped up once the team returns to England.
The more interesting discussion, as some have pointed out, will be how to best deploy the player in order to continue his development and maximize his potential.
The price is obviously quite obscene, but the simple reality is that a player is worth what the market will bear. Once this deal is done, the healthiest thing to do will be to forget about the fee and embrace Pogba for the player his is, and can be. He's going to be a wonderful addition to the squad. He'll bring personality, speed, power, drive and creativity to the midfield in a manner which has been lacking for far too long.

I'm going to take the articles that Juve don't need to sell Pogba at face value for the moment. If you were him would you really want to leave Juventus? They've just added two if the best attacking players in Italy to their squad and now have a real chance of going for the Champions League.
Took my tweet down
Not on the blacklist.

They're not affording those players without him being sold, despite what they might say. Moot point.

Thanks for reminding me, I'd forgotten to threadban you.
