Will a mod give me extended posts till he signs/not signs and i promise i will only use them in this thread! :lol:
 
Not been sure about this signing since I rate several midfielders better than him in the world but now it looks like it's definitely happening, I am excited and am looking forward to him playing for us. I still think we're overpaying but honestly who cares, we've got him and that's all that matters.

They get the privilege of showing their brand to 600m+ fans globally with the United badge on it, of course we are going to reap rewards from it as its our fan base they tap into. Anyway - don't worry about it , just enjoy the football - that's our job :)

I'm not one of the ones concerned about how we make our money back, I'm confident we didn't do this deal without checking if we can afford it. Just can't see, even with the advertising side of things, that Adidas aren't going to want the majority of them shurt sale profits after paying us so much, else they'd never make a profit overall.

I actually don't care, just can't wait to see him bang in some of them scholsey long shots and make some defenses look stupid.

@Acquire Me was ITK about this that Juve will negotiate regarding Pogba and the club has already made a bid and that, this deal will eventually be done.
All of this well in advance and a lot of people called out on him but all of his statements are eventually turning true
We said in advance, if this happens then he will be our hero and although it hasn't happened as yet but I just wanted to thank him before this thread closes

That's great. And did he spill the beans? He did reveal his source Re: Jose, how about this one?

I still don't get that Adidas 'blah blah' advert.

I know Pogba's agent said something along those lines, but the advert almost seems to be mocking United (well, it came across like that the first time I watched it).

Can someone fill me in?

The adverts were shot and made way before this saga. It just so happens to tie in with this sage nicely at this moment. Adidas basically got lucky.
 
I've foolishly started to believe it'll be today :(

On the subject of the Adidas advert.... It was probably filmed way before the euros. However the only link to us being the banner and the clip of OT. It would have taken about an hour to edit those parts in. It was probably filmed with the Juve brand included originally.

It had Stormzy in it too though, who is a big United fan. That's what I find hard to explain. If this was made months ago, then they must have recorded Stormzy saying his classic "Shut up" line between then and now. I imagine Stormzy recorded it during Euros/a couple of weeks after it.

Some of the more respected journalists sticking their reputation on the line to say it's today has me hopeful, they've been hedging their bets with "soon" or "edging nearer" before but you can't really worm your way out of "Paul Pogba will be a Man Utd player today" as easily.

I see. Unless they specifically told Raiola to use the words 'blah blah' they got very lucky indeed.

Also, they must have done the same using Pogba with other clubs, not just United?

I'm just starting to think maybe we won't get a club announcement until he flies back, does press shots and an interview and such like.

I'd love to be wrong.

I think we have a similar train of thought, is he the best in the world right now? No but he has a very good chance of becoming the number one or at least top 5.
He instantly turns us into a title challenging side, we have a lot of what's needed the players showed they can keep possession but lacked a cutting edge which is exactly what pogba brings to the table.
I'm not convinced the likes of kroos or verratti would bring the needed qualities to make us as dangerous as pogba does
 
Give Pogba the number 7 shirt and turn him into our marketable King. We will get that money back in 2/3 seasons.
 
I'd like to say this is the last time the first digit will change on the number of pages for this thread but I doubt it!!

Lol I've never understood people who claim we aren't the biggest club in the world because we don't have the most trophies. We have the biggest following worldwide, make the most dough and the fact that Juve being such a "big" club couldn't hold onto one of their prized assets from a team in the Europa league makes this all the more delicious. :drool:

Because Real Madrid make more dough, they have as many fans and they have more trophies.

That's ridiculous. I've never watched
a highlight reel so long. I normally can't be bothered past 5 mins. But that was epic.

He is a youtube player, he can create magic but he will frustrate you a lot.
 
The shambles that is the "Daily Star" reporting passed medical.... I firmly believe this to be complete and utter bullshit but can't hide the fact it gave me joy to read it none the less.
 
I'm expecting an announcement from Juventus today as this sounds well and truly done. No doubt United will take their time as usual though.

I also think Adidas may have edited the United logo in. It may have first been Juventus.

Simon Jones and Martin Samuel from the Daily Mail are reporting that he passed his medical in Los Angeles too so I would say that's definitely true and the Daily Star are probably just copying what others are reporting.

Juve presser for their tour in HK in 30 minutes. I wonder if anything will be said about Pogba.

I remember a similar situation with ADM, when Ancelotti basically confirmed his departure in a tour press conference. Let's see if history repeats.
 
I said way back, and I still think, it has been certain for a while.

But it will not be announced until after Zlatan has his debut. They want the big media focus on that, then pogba. Not one overshadowing the other.
