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.
Speaks volumes that everywhere he goes there are United fans in the world. Must be very impressive reassuring to top talent about the reach and appeal of the club.
Can you guys imagine if this guy who is signing stuff is a doppelganger? (A look-alike).
Imagine!
Imagine!
How many times is that same video going to be posted here?
So what's the best Pogba vs X video out there to really moisten the loins?
I've watched that massive 28 minute highlight one, so I want something that actually shows him across a whole game single-handedly pooping on another team. Then I can get excited.

I won't quote your post @Raoul but I'm just commenting on one initial comment ruining a whole thread of quotes. Ties in nicely with the craziness of this thread.
I won't be held responsible if this thread breaks
Are you trolling?OK Now I am fecking convinced Pogba ISN'T coming.
Just seen Pogba's instagram and I quote:
"news: we catch Pogba with his contract in Universal Studios LA amusement park"
"breaking news: Pogba undergoes medical check in Universal Studios amusement park California"
This was all posted by Paul Pogba himself. Surely if he was coming here he wouldn't troll Juventus fans like that. That is quite disrespectful to Juventus and their fans after everything they have given to him.
I think its over guys...
My head would literally explode (burst into pieces).
There needs to be 157 extra pages, plus not sure what the maximum number of pages is on the thread here before breaking, have you capped it on the forums? an int is 2147M posts so I think we can go beyond that, a long is 9223372036854775807 good luck reaching that.
These fools need him to date the signature as well, I bet the value would be 2 times as much in a few years

Adios
The geotag says Star Island, that's in Miami not LA.
Seems like it's that YouTube channels production.
Edit: what's happening with the quoting system today?!
@Pexbo you've really done a job on the quotes 
So it's a couple of days old but only uploaded today, so what?
Just pointing out, not that it really matters.

I wonder if you can white-text the quote tags, malforming BB code shouldn't be that much fun surely.
Well it pushes the idea that it's all staged so I wouldn't say that
Something organic would happen more natural. What was to stop this person posting it as soon as they got in? I think there's a lot of misdirection etc but it's all positive. Only a few people would bothered to check that. Most would assume it was today so I think it's like a slow 'kill' so to speak. This is very contrived and staged basically.We were 3-0 up in our last PL game.
I think it's good to have doubts over price-tags to people in here though.
I myself am a contradiction because I think it's a fair price, contracts a measured in a few factors: Marketability, Age, Ability. Part of the deal sees Manchester United having his image rights which brings the club more revenue.
However without the doubts, the naysayers there wouldn't be the romanticism in sport to score wonderful goals, to make his return to the club and silence the Rivals.
Ronaldo had a similar moment after World Cup 2006 when Rooney got sent off. He had the country opposing him (Ronaldo) sometimes you need some kind of negativity around you, it bonds a team to succeed and Pogba isn't short of confidence.
We all know at this stage the deal is "when" not "if". Last year I couldn't say Depay will be good, I'd barely seen him, the same with Martial. I got excited with Schweinsteiger but I think it's sometimes easy to get carried away.
It's Important for people for fans to keep their feet on the ground and let the player do the talking on the field.

To be honest I think he took a snap with him a couple of days ago and uploaded when he was chilling on the weekend. I think if we weren't all so invested in this transfer we wouldn't think there was loads of misdirection, slow kill marketing and staged and contrived photos.
Unless of course that is why acquire me hasn't been in the thread for a couple of weeks, he's busy setting up all this holistic marketing approach.
Yeah but you can't prove that 'he was just chilling on the weekend' and decided to upload it. The misdirection etc happens because Adidas don't want to Pogba to be in the media for 2 days. It suits many people to drag it out. Juventus we know aren't stupid enough to tell people they have money, before they've had the chance to spend it. I don't see any reason for this person not uploading the picture the first day they got it. Unless there was some reason, why would someone like that want his photo in the first place?
If Juve don't announe today, they just have no regards for their own fans. It's gotta be painful and disrespectful for Juve fans to see Pogs signing shirts and merchandise of MUFC before he's even signed a contract.
But if Juve don't announce today, its a clear indication the show is being run by Adidas.

There is no reason why they would upload it first thing either? Maybe he works Monday to Friday so puts off everything to the weekend, I do the same thing. I just really doubt this is a stunt with all the pretty blatant stunts happening this isn't all that interesting or exciting.
Oh dear, I'll start it all off again! The main reason is I don't like him as a player. I don't think he's the 'box to box' midfielder everyone says he is. I know he's a talent but I've just never seen him really dominate a game. I don't like the way he relies on those long legs, a bit like Viera. I always would prefer a Keane type midfielder to a Viera type.
I know we are buying him with a view to him improving and that's fair enough. But I still don't like his style of midfielder. Beyond that I've issues with his attitude, his likely comittment to United, the influence his agent has and yes, I don't like his hair cuts! The last one obviously being the least important lol
Not sure where you got any of that from tbh. Didn't Fabrizio Romano say something like Juve never announce things on a weekend. So it won't happen today and tomorrow at the very least. Monday is the earliest we can hope for some sort of announcement, but if we wait for a medical to be completed, this could drag on for a fair few days after that aswell.
He is the 2nd most marketable athlete in the world in 2016 after Steph Curry. As recently as this March, both Nike and adidas were fighting for signature. Finally he signed a 10 year deal with adidas iirc worth around $45m. He is the third most marketable footballer in Europe after Messi and Ronaldo. Is that marketable enough for ya?
Imagine the muppet meltdown if he signs for Madrid on Monday.
I think you're a little harsh, however, closer to the truth than a lot of fans on this thread who think he is going to be the difference in every game.
Is he a box to box player? He could be. Right now, he's better with a license to join the attack. I firmly expect Mourinho will play him exactly the same way he played Lampard and that would get the best out of him. I don't expect 4-2-3-1 - I expect a flat midfield 3 with Pogba to the left of the 3.
The fact is though we don't know. I don't understand people on twitter anyway.....I can't imagine many people freaky enough to ask for a photo - NOT to post it first thing if they're always doing the twitter thing. Waiting for the weekend just seems - like a person who wouldn't bother having a twitter account.
Which is what I expect too. He's going to be an exciting addition of course. I just don't think he warrants becoming the most expensive signing in history. And I don't think he's going to be as good as most people think. I fully expect games, big games, where he will go missing. I think that is just part of his make up.
Edit: Even though the price isn't my major gripe!
We will hear the explosion of this site all the way in the US....
..and Klopp will say he was a quality player that was worth the money.
How many times have you actually watched him over the last 4 seasons? And please dont say "I've watched him enough" OR "I watch all their games".
But right now a Viera would be far superior to anyone else in the league, let alone in our squad. He was still 99% of the player Keane was and I'll be happy if Pogba gets near him.
That's part of the make up of any player under 25. In fact its the make up of every player except the big two.
Even Messi goes missing in big games. It happens even to the GOAT.
Juventuz noobs are talking themselves into Pogba staying
