I seem to recall a lot of people saying this, and then when we signed him because it was Moyes signing him instead of Ferguson, suddenly everyone changed their tune and decided he was shite :lol:

Although in fairness...this is weirdly accurate, as I bet if Ferguson signed him he'd have found a way to turn him into a half decent player somehow...maybe.

I also remember a thread just after Pogba left where loads of people were arguing with me that he wasn't very good and Ryan Tunnicliffe was a better prospect anyway. In fact, I may go and find this.

So you still believe we won't sign Pogba?

People will always find a way to justify letting a player go, though, just like they're now trying to justify this incredibly overpriced fee for him.

It was never going to happen.

Still not sure...same as I said before. I'll believe it when there's something official or something from someone direct. I can't get excited over people putting tweets on twitter. It's horrendously boring and means nothing.
 
If Di Marzio etc are correct and the deal should be closed and done by tomorrow night, is it fair to expect some huge & positive news today?

So do we think a medical has already been done secretly or does this still need to be organised?

Is the 48 hour timescale relating to the announcement of the agreement between the clubs or his actual signature?

I'm impatient.

He doesn't need a medical. The guy has just played a full season and got to the final in the Euros

Just get him to swim a couple of lengths in one of those readily available pools he always seems to be around and that should prove he has more stamina than any of our current midfield.

I remember that thread, and that wasn't the argument at all. People, myself included, said that if Pogba hadn't acted as though reserve football was beneath him and had shown the application that the likes of Tunnicliffe did then he'd had already made the first team by the time he left because his talent was never in question.

Pogba's problem back then was that he thought he should be playing in the first team and his response was to make little effort in reserve games rather than step it up to prove SAF wrong.
 
The big question is - if we actually sign him, does that make this thread ineligible for the 'Muppet Thread of the Summer' award?

No rule that says muppets may not triumph in order to be eligible.
 
Can we get a list of the people who have posted the most in this thread. I want to see all the muppets :).

Wasn't he pretty much the first midfielder (I use that term loosely) we bought in years? During the barren midfield years before, even the likes of Charlie Adams were briefly considered by various posters. If that doesn't scream desperate I don't know what does.

I think you mean striker??
 
If this transfer doesn't go through after all this, the inner muppet in me would die forever!

he either thinks he's moving for Le Havre or else Pogba had been playing for us for the past 10 years and no one noticed

You'd think the past 2 or 3 weeks (feels longer I know) would change people opinions on the matter. The way Raiola acts. It was over the day he became Pogba's agent.

No it is perfectly eligible just unlike previous editions this one looks to have a happy ending

It is already the muppet thread of the season and will go down as the biggest one in the history of the caf.

Pogba wouldn't have suited LVG's style either. The manager and the style of play are very critical. For the likes of schneiderlin and Herrera, LVG was completely unsuitable. BFS less so. Under Mourinho, both Herrera and schneiderlin will do much better if given the chance.

Considering it seemed as though our midfield were chained to the ground for most matches, I can't really see how anyone could have made an impact.

Cant wait for Pogba and Lingard to do their dab stuff, should be fun next season with the younger guys.

Lingard can dab all he wants but hopefully that will be mostly on the bench or in the stands.
