Yeah. That happened and I also thought, 'Hey, didn't Raiola say blah, blah, blah!' about Pogba joining us and yet Adidas say "Ignore the blah, blah, blah!" That tweaked my interest. Then Pogba's photo, then Steve Bartram following Pogba then Chevy following Pogba. All the news agencies and twitter hacks just followed after that. It was beautiful.

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.

GDS say, slightly complicating the transfer is that five percent of the fee needs to be deposited to FIFA, which will be distributed to clubs who trained Pogba between the ages of 12 and 23 – since he played at both clubs during this time period, it remains to be seen how the money is distributed.
So United will get back some of the money

It wasn't just Chevy following Pogba though .. there was more to it and I am not talking about Chevy.
My source says 37 hours give or take a few days.

Just seen they also did one similar with Costa later on. No idea what their game is, but the people who thought it meant the deal was off were crazy
Almost every italian source have him at 110M Euros, by the end of the season rivals will say we spent 250M pounds on one player. Looking for to it.
Every time he has a bad game:
His mind is obviously in Madrid and never wanted to come.
Every time he has a good game:
He's playing for a move to Real Madrid
Looking forward to that.
The real question is can we push this thread to 30.000 posts before Pogba signs?
Cheers.
win win situation
Remember Mikel? He could still go to Madrid even after that!
All there is to all this 'follow' stuff is quite simple and it doesn't involve an inside track;
People connected to the club (ie. sponsors and United website journos etc.) are seeing the same reports as us and are highly confident that this is a done deal and have decided to follow Pogba on intagram/twitter etc. They certainly have not been briefed of the news by United - who quite clearly have the story on lockdown until they decide otherwise. All the reliable leaks have come from the Juve side. The reliable journos in the UK with connections to United have hardly got a sniff and you can be damn sure that they'll know about the deal before Chevrolet's social media team and the like - as is always the case.
So I guess this is happening and the Pog is coming back then. Happy about that.
Major sponsors don't need to refresh RedCafe to follow the latest developments, and I doubt they would follow potential new signings off the back of a report by Di Marzio. The higher ups at Chevrolet and Adidas will know what's going on with Pogba due to their sources at United.
You missed the fun early this morning it seems.

Pogba's twitter account is strange, isn't it? It says "Proud to represent @adidasfootball across the world!", but the pic shows him in the french Nike kit. (Maybe it's part of his old deal with Nike that he still must have such a picture.)
However, the most terrible thing in transfer window are these twitter "journalists" and their speculations. "Believe me... a source of mine... I was right with Bale, believe me..." It's like the oracle of Delphi. With more drugs.
It will happen, it seems. And I expect that the contract will be that complex that some will say Pogba costed us 110 mio. Other 150 (with bonus, etc.)

One thing Woodward has shown himself to be an expert at is securing fantastic sponsors for the club. One can only imagine what he has lined up 'in association' with Paul Pogba. Buying his image rights, we're going to see an absolutely massive surge of Pogba-related promotions, deals and sponsors.
He'll be kitted out like a Formula 1 driver's racing suit.

Ando seemed so good then.... I mean, he was actually one player who could run with the ball and we didn't have that kind of player for a very long time. Strange how he faded away.... Still have a soft corner for him and I don't know where he is right now but I really hope that he does goodCrazy times those, although to be fair Ando and Clev even had me convinced they would be world beaters in those few opening games in 06, especially Ando
Yea it was a horrible feeling. I know we ended up getting Ronaldo, but no footballer has ever rivaled the skills of Ronaldinho for me.
Ronaldinho is still for me the most skillful player of this generation. I know Ronaldo, Kaka and Zidane were amazing and had wonderful output but skill wise no one matched him
Good morning muppets
Or that guy "Jesus", Man City are after... He seems good
Hmm, I didn't interpret it that way at the time, but that's a really good point.
Exciting times
True that. If you are paying 94 mil for a 29 years old who couldn't cut it at real Madrid, then 120 is not that far
Lets hope last night's reports are true, i can't have another day of deal agreed and then not agreed again.
Loved that film, so utterly shit but entertaining nonetheless.
Good Morning, our God.... Exciting times ae!!!!!!!!!!!!Good morning muppets
Can we bring Uncle Paddy back too
Di Marzio is pretty conservative for timing. If everything has been agreed and sorted, i'd imagine his update today will confirm the deal. I don't think MUFC will say anything till he arrives in the UK.
I'm positively bulging....
If United want something out there, they go and brief a select few journalists. If they don't want it out there - they keep quiet. Even if the higher ups at sponsors do have an inside track (which I doubt), it'd be on a confidential basis. They certainly won't be sending emails out to their social media department 'OMG, Paul Pogba is signing for United, start following him on Twitter'
People really will create a narrative that suits their theories out of ANY piece of information - confirmation bias really hits Muppets hard during the Summer window.
Waking up and the caf has gone crazy!
Reports and tweets seem promising but they also did over the past few days/weeks. I’ll hold my horses until he’s officially unveiled though.
Never mind, the way things have gone over the last hours indicate that my feeling about the “cancelled medical” were correct. I don’t think AS made that story up but it was actually true. Since we’ve seemingly agreed personal terms with Pogba quite a while ago, the story about travelling to Miami to iron out final details seemed strange to me. For me Raiola went to Miami to schedule a medical and support his client during the organization etc. of this since he was expecting a quick agreement between the clubs. As it’s been always clear that Pogba will be on holiday until August 6th, doing the medical outside Carrington to speed things up seems a logic consequence.
However, Pogba and Raiola saw that things don’t work out as expected so Raiola flew back to Europe to iron out the last details between him and the clubs personally. The tweet of the doctor stating that he doesn’t know what this is all about means absolutely nothing to me since he must comply with the medical confidentiality and therefore would never disclose any (potential) patient names or what types of medical services he’s scheduled in his plan.

Let's just wait till it's officially announced by the club before we get too cocky!
I bet even now, ehsanul is going crazy trying to find a tweet saying Madrid are in for him.
It's Adidas' new advertising campaign. Just like their "there will be haters". It's clever marketing, get's people talking and watching etc.
I bloody hope not, leave that kind of shit to the circus of Madrid.
