That adidas advert makes literally no sense. It's like a splurge gun approach to tailored marketing - throw all the ingredients of a narrative into a bowl, throw the bowl at a wall and then just go "mneeeh..look...stuff!"
 
Sky have finally suspended the market.
 
I shall be glad to see him back but I think the price is crazy. However I would rather have pogba than a nice big profit announcement in the next year!

One thing that caught my eye though, an add on if pogba extends his contract at United. I find that crazy if it's actually true. No wonder player fees are so high if we agree to mad add ons like that that! At least martials add on for say winning the ballon d'or makes sense but giving Juve 5 mill if we decide to extend his contract is madness, especially as his new contract seems massive (meaning the contract after would be huge!)
 
Am I the only one completely confused by that adidas ad? What does it even mean? I don't understand why they would smudge the United logo with a huge "BLAH!" just to have Stormzy showing outside of OT with a United sweatshirt on? Surely it must mean he's going to United, but I can't see the reasoning behind it..
 
Adidas were trolling all along! The end of that blah blah blah video has a picture of man utd crest and stormzy in a Utd jacket! They've known all along :lol:


Adidas was definitely setting up for this advert.

"Don't believe what you read in the papers." Remember a certain big tittied "reporter" that tweeted that phrase along with a selfie of her and Pogba?

"Blah blah blah." Remember Raiola's tweet saying that exact thing?

It's not a coincidence, and it's not Adidas releasing this in reaction to those tweets, as the Pogba scenes in that video were not filmed in Miami. I guarantee you that Adidas paid that woman and Raiola to tweet those. As for the woman, it's not terribly difficult to get C list celebs to tweet things for a fee (a friend of mine has done it for a business he runs). And Raiola is the agent for one of their biggest stars, so it's not hard to see him involved.
 
No, the official Adidas Twitter feed decided to release a fake ad for a laugh.

Well sorry mate I'm not on Twitter, didn't think it was officially from adidas that's why I asked and thought someone might be fecking around. But thanks for the seriousn post

I have no idea either mate.
 
You put your Fabio on
Your Rafael on
on on on on
everybody's on
Then you turn to Paul Pogba but you turn around
That's what it's all about.

Ohhhhhh now he's worth a shit load
Ohhhhhh spend it and he'll come home
Nowww Pogba has one goal
Get subbed on for
Mar-Ou-Ane

this is shocking.

He's one of our own
hes one of our own
Paul Pogba
he was only on loan!

nailed it
 
Fair enough, I am not familiar with him and he seems to be from the 50's
To be honest, I asked myself this question too and apart from Didi there are very few examples of such players - maybe Seedorf too, but it's a bit of a stretch, most of them are of a mixed heritage and from SA.

Can't think of a top playmaker from Africa though, but Africa wasn't blessed by the coaches, facilities etc and it's only the last few decades when top prospects can receive a proper football education abroad.

Toure is probably closest to a top playmaker from Africa, but he, like Pogba, lacks vision, even though they possess all the necessary technical attributes
 
Precisely.

I'm so furious at ADIDAS. This is extremely disrespectful to us and is just basically mocking our club. More so it's mocking the torture our fans have gone through this whole saga and rubbing it in our faces. And they are supposed to ALSO be our club's sponsors.
Wish we could go back to Kappa!

Sure. Why don't you go back to Fila while you're at it. You are about the right size for it.

Is the announcement before the unveiling? If so, when would it happen? Tonight, even?
 
Can't wait for next summer when we go and sign Dybala :drool:
 
The add implies he's NOT coming to United.

The blah blah blah is about him coming to Manchester.

It doesn't make sense...unless he's not coming.

Isn't that the case for majority of today's digital art? :p

More likely tomorrow will be the official announcement from United but I'd expect somewhere like BBC to pick up on it before then.
 
Late though Skysports are to the party, it's massively reassuring to me that they're on it. The one thing that was always suspiciously absent in the Vidal saga was the predominant English media. Your Skys and your BBCs didn't touch it even when hundreds of outlets said it was a goer. This is different.
This is very true, and when they did speak/write based on their own sources, they had been briefed that United had not bid for Vidal. We never did bid for him. I believe his agent was pushing for a move, but we had too many concerns over his knee surgery and returning too quickly to play in the World Cup (where he was clearly hobbled by returning too early).

But isnt that a good thing? English journos are never reliable so the less they say the better.

Adidas ad makes no sense. Still it seems to serve our purpose and confirm the much awaited :drool:
 
I'm a 99% sure it's done dealio because of di Marzio etc., but people really misinterpret that adidas commercial video...
That video had to be done a long time ago so they couldn't even be sure. Also, I understand it as: don't believe the rumours (which were all about Pogback, ignoring Marca/AS)
