Great too see that this is as good as done :drool:

Don't want to sound greedy, but I really hope the club are actually going to announce this a little faster than they did with the Mkhitaryan deal.
 
If I had to guess, Pogba going to LA is for some marketing event or other (though they certainly could include the medical while he's out there). Lots of reasons Adidas could want him out there, especially if they're launching these new ads.

I doubt we'd fly him all the way to LA for a medical. It's not like we wouldn't have contacts in Florida. The owners live in Florida, and even own another professional sports team in Florida. I would think that top of the line doctors and facilities would be at our disposal for a medical without putting him on a plane for 5 hours.

The Route 66 comment with that photo might make more sense now, however, as Route 66 ends in Santa Monica (just outside of LA). It's nowhere near Miami, so that was odd, unless it was referencing him wearing the #6, as some suspected.
 
Assuming he does sign, which position/ formation could we use to fit him in to get him at his most effective?
 
The difference being now we actually have, a manager who can get this team to play well. In my opinion, Jose has been our biggest signing this window.

One thing Jose likes from his attacking players, he wants them to show efficiency and hurt teams in the final third, yes he will ask them to work hard and when to be defensive, but he wants his attacking players to show potency in the final third. I still hope he gives the likes of morgan a fair chance, because he could be a huge player for mourinho, with the likes of carrick and bastian not good enough week in week out, would love to see how morgan, herrera, martial, memphis etc etc do under united because allot of them were short changed under VG. I still hope Jose goes with a 433 of morgan, herrera, pogba if he signs, Mkhtaryan, martial and zlaten, or even rashford leading the line sometimes
 
How is Di Marzio so good? I get it's easy to only post certainties to avoid being a bullshitter but that's only half of it, how is he so in the loop?
 
It looks better in FIFA :)

Zlatan, Pogba and Smalling faster than Shaw? Do EA watch football? Shaw is lightning.

Have they programmed him to still have a broken leg?
 
(Bloody hell, home from work and another 20 pages from the point I was mentioned at!)

Nah I never said he would sort our midfield or anything like that, just that he would be a good option to have in the squad, and I maintain that opinion to date. He cant put a foot right in the eyes of many fans, but this is a discussion for another thread!

:D
 
We had those for three seasons in a row now. Hopefully we can actually turn it up on the pitch this time.

A good team on paper before, but can't pretend it ever looked this good!
For starters, we only had 2 strikers last year, a clearly downward spiral Rooney, and a pretty unknown teen! Hardly an Ibrahimovic. Not to mention a close 100m man!

All successful journos have connections and contacts - often anonymous sources within clubs who they have forged friendships with, who feed them information informally, which journos then use as the framework of their articles.

It's because they're all special cards, where as Shaw is standard. God knows why Xeno didn't just use standard cards!

Those player of the year cards, all stats are crazily increased on such a card.

But yea Shaw's speed is underrated in Fifa, he should have close to 90 speed easily but it is fecking Fifa, they still rate Jones as one of our best centrebacks, some things they just never get right.
 
Hmmm, red tinted specs there (allowable haha). IMO:
World Class:
DDG
Formerly World Class:
Zlatan
Schweinsteiger
Could be World class:
Pogba
Shaw
Martial
TFM
Could be very good:
Bailly
Mkhi
Pereira
He supports Juventus

Oh good old big sam will have a fit if that became our best 11, only 2 english players the press and big sam will hate us, excellent hahaha

 
The years he scored 34 goals I'd class him as World class. He just never looked the same since then. But no team would of turned him down in that period
That is one season. He promised a lot more than that. He should have been the main man and was outshone by various players over the years. He definitely had the talent to be world class. I am probably being a bit harsh as nobody can question his goal record for club or country.

Mourinho definitely needs someone in the team to play the Matic role in a 4231. Morgan might be the one who can fulfill this role. I know he's not a DM but since Carrick and Basti are not mobile enough, he might prefer Morgan there.
 
I suspect the real reason this deal Could be happening was because we're shitting ourselves over the Adidas contract and it wouldn't surprise me if there was more to come, not making the champions league next season is a big no, no. Whether Pogba is the answer who knows.

Oh I agree, morgan, herrera, pogba, martial, Mkhi has a midfield has allot more power and mobility about that midfield, what is beyond those guys? fellaini, carrick, bastian, rooney, yikes that is slow and old. Hell replace zlaten in some games for rashford, the entire midfield and frontline has got so much movement. But once again, got to wait and see when or if pogba is signed
 
As someone just mentioned, this why we never signed Sanches.

So this deal has been in place for a very long time...between United, Pogba & Raiola anyway.

So, like Adidas say, don't listen to al the Blah Blah Blah!
 
Richard Keys was thr first to definitively day Pogba was coming. Close to a month ago. Fair fecks to him

You don't spend close to 100m on one player to get back in the champions league.
There's no reason at all we can't gun for the title here. There is no 1 established force that will take a huge leap to catch up. City and Chelsea are no further ahead than us, Leicester have lost one of their key players, and needless to say super over achieved, and Tottenham will need to fight against the late season collapse and weary looking Euro performance of their star men.
