Why would Utd ever sign off on an advert including a Juve player? It literally makes zero sense. It's done.

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.
Are you high?
Good one.
What I see is them saying don't believe everything you read in the papers, and blaa, blaa, blaa, painted allover the United crest, what I also see is two parrots right at the start that Raiola was obviously referring to today, ie the press repeating each others crap.
Now that would point to everything that has been said, or written as been rubbish, Although as I said I am maybe missing something.
I know it's a big game they are playing, I understand that, but what I'm not so sure about is why they are doing it, and if we are even in on it.
If he doesn't sign you can ban me, I'm that confident of it happening now (we all know its a no brainer, lots of BLA BLA BLA).
Not that I'll be missed, people mix me up with VanGaalEra anyway! Maybe I should request a new name

But what has he got to do with the significance of the advert and why it is hinting towards Pogba going to United?
All I see is Pogba reading a paper insinuating it's a load of shite. "Don't believe all the bla bla bla"
Then a poster with the United crest and 'Blah' plastered over it.
So, if anything, this hints to me that it's all a load of shit.
Personally, I think the deal is pretty much done, but the adidas ad has contributed nothing to my opinion.
Yes I see that, but they are might as well paint bullshit over our crest, ie everything that has been said is rubbish, why am I the only one concluding this?
Aye he is.
Its done,its not done.
Stupid post. Every club in the world would be interested in Pogba if he was available for 60-80m
So a sponsor that is paying us £75m a year to be their figurehead club in English and World Football is essentially mocking us?
Not sure if serious.
Nothing.....that's the whole point - we can assume. The fact is it's obtuse and yet you are still talking about it....It don't matter if you think it's pro this or pro that. It's the fact that people are talking about something they don't understand. It's promotion. You have United in the ad. You have Pogba in the ad. It's not meant to be obvious. It's not meant to hold your hand and say this is how it is. It's designed for the purpose of conversation........
How you or we interpret it - don't matter. It'll happen anyway/regardless. But during the ad, you'll see United and you'll see Pogba. Don't read the print. Do the maths...
Although I agree that the message in the advert is somewhat confusing, do you seriously think Adidas would use the United crest and apparel and Old Trafford in an advert without United's authorization and make a total mockery of their biggest and most important partner? That would certainly lead to abrubt and ugly divorce if that was the case. Considering how lucrative a partnership this is for both parties, I wouldn't think that either of them would want that.
You can also ask yourself why the Juventus advert is fronted by Miralem Pjanic and there's no sign of Pogba whatsoever when he's their most prolific client in both sporting and marketing terms.
Also, why would Juventus sign off on an advert linking their player with a move away unless they had already agreed to sell the player and were just playing along at adidas' request? I think it's done as well.
Why would adidas mock their biggest clients?
Also, Duncan Castles has gone awfully quiet of late as well.
Yes I understand that, but I don't understand what they are trying to say, or why people conclude this as proof it is a 'done deal'.
They are Juve's sponsors too, and I know I wouldn't be happy if we were about to sell a star player to another club and they did this crap.
Not sure if serious.
Weird isn't it? For a time when the thread should actually be at it's most optimistic and fun in reality it's flat and pessimistic to the point of being unbearable.
Oh shut your trap you miserable sod.
he is not a world class player yet. i think united are paying on expectations of him being a WC player in the future. he does have the tools and united have the cash. FFS 100m , i remember 1m for trev at forest and thought that was fecking mental.
I posted this before but I see it as the truth behind all the blah blah blah is man Utd, the Utd crest is being revealed as the truth, and as someone else said, why would we have him in an advert with our crest when he's not in the Juventus one.
Maybe it's don't believe the crap about Madrid in the papers, then showing a United crest.
Mate I'm not on Twitter and I asked somebody in this thread If that vid from adidas was real/legit and i got mocked myself! Well I didn't know if it wasn't a fake or the vid had been edited but turns out it's legit.
Why would Pogba be in a adidas ad with our club over it?
It's bollocks that what it is, I would class myself as the average bod, and for me this has gone on too long now, the orgasmic climax should now have been reached, but alas the moment has passed, and I now find my mind drifting on to other things.
Are you listening Adidas....BORING!
The (done deal bullies) are out in force tonight!!! Picking on all the Nervous Nellies!!
What a kerfuffal !!
Done deal bullies ha ha ha

I agree but it's working for them
As annoying as this is, I would avoid this thread until early to mid next week. Gonna be a pain in the ass for a while yetFrom what I understand the first tweet of Raiola(the "blablabla") was designed according to the Adidas ad ?, then perhaps the "journalists are parrots" is also related to another ad?
It seems obvious that he will sign for United but at this point he should publicly admit that he is about to sign , or give some clue .
I see all too impregnated of commercial interests and marketing

Well I hope you are right, as someone philosophically said to me at least it has got us talking, interpretation is everything I guess.

The point of the promo campaign is to deride the negativity from media and "anti-fans", and to tell players to do their talking on the pitch. I believe (though pure educated speculation) the blah over United crest is hitting back against the doubters who think United are past-it, and so on. It's not about his transfer, though I suppose is tangentially about the transfer due to the transfer still going on 
Each "film" is a bespoke creation for each club to go along with their 3rd kit release. Pogba being in our film is as clear a sign as you can get he's signing for us. If he wasn't, he'd be in the fecking Juve film, wouldn't he. I'm going to make another educated guess here that Woody/adidas had hoped this would be tied up by now so they could have Pogba show off the 3rd kit along with its release, but it's dragged on too long due to the technicalities and Mino's cut.

Similar to the Martial transfer IMO, in that we are banking on his potential, the difference is that he has shown much more and is already very well known, a superstar. ANd most importantly.. a proper fecking midfielder, a top midfielder. So hard not to get excited about this.
ESPN reporting that a 95 million pound fee is agreed, with 20 million pound more for the agent.
Interesting tidbit...today, 95 million pound is the equivalent to about $125 million US...we sold Ronaldo for 80 million pound in '09 and at the time that was the equivalent to about $130 million US. So really, this isn't too bad of a fee, given the way the transfer market has been out of control recently.

Nice one
Don't want to spoil the vibrant mood here but i am of the opinion that he is not required. I know i am in a minority since i can see the vote percentage.I just hope, whatever happens, United benefit from it. After all, everyone on here wants the best for United. I don't disagree that United might be in for Pogba because of the Jose interview. But this Di Marzio character seems to know so much information and everyone believed him. Now the agent himself says that the UK and Italian media are bluffing so how can we all trust a journalist blindly? What makes him so trustworthy?
I am sorry for being bit thick, can you please point out the ad? I did see one of he ads which is about 20 seconds and there is a billboard with the United crest covered in white paint and the word BLAH on it. I thought the ad was about not believing the papers. The papers are all abut United signing Pogba. Not sure if i am missing something.
Ok, i am not really a twitter person and don't follow this idiotic agent.It did not look like trolling but a hint of frustration about the media twisting the truth. But i hope for the sanity of redcafe, he does sign and if he does then, he goes on to become the world's best.
The strange sight of inevitably seeing Pogba back in red is only trumped by @zlatan_ish 's location change. It doesn't look right him not rubbing in the fact Juve have a superior midfield to us consisting of our Pog.
This is pretty much where I am at as well. We don't know if the deal is done or not but that advert + what Riola tweeted in only trying to convey that the media is talking "blah" and we shouldn't believe them.
I don't know about you, but that Adidas mucking around and cack-handed manipulation would make me want to buy Nike

Fair enough, I suppose if they're paying us £75 m a year then they're allowed this one... Just better make sure this isn't some elaborate hoax though!
