And everybody knows it, yet you feel the need to mention it every five minutes for ever varying reasons and talking about other players you'd prefer who aren't available.

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.

Because Mkhi.
And Pogba. Why? Reasons...
And Pogba. Why? Reasons...
I haven't posted on here for five days. I got back on board today in response to a post about clubs other signings. My position is hardly going to change now is it just to placate you guys.
Though signing those players we still would not need them, when we need pogba, and that is the point of that specialist signing, much like when Mourinho signed essien in 2005, he fits the jose mourinho jigsaw
He's taking the Mkhi, and you're all lapping it up.
Dad has told me that Sky News are saying Pogba has been released of training duties. Not sure what that means or whether it is an official statement. Maybe the contract has been terminated.
How can any of us know how long a break is sufficient for any other individual to have?
It would teach us that his vocation was an astronaut and not a footballer.
Anyone confirm if Sky have just said this? He tweeted not long after this was:
I think you're right.I don't want Pogba for £100m either, but that doesn't change the fact that your posts are baffling all of us right now.
what does Mkhi is Mkhi mean exactly?
I never said I don't like him! Jaysus this is exhausting.
I'll try and expand on my answer.
Firstly, I can't deny that Sane, Kante and Gundogan would have been good signings, or will be for their new clubs. But then again they might completely flop, we just don't know.
Sane in particular we don't know how well he will do. We signed the top wing talent going last year in Memphis and that hasn't worked out so far. I think he's far more of a punt than Mkhi.
My biggest problem with your argument is that you're forgetting we still have a a lot of players who would need to be moved on to accommodate these signings. We still have Herrera, Schneiderlin, Carrick, Fellaini, Schweini (
), Mata, Lingard, Young, you could even count Januzaj and Perriera in that list.Some of these players just don't want to leave (or there might not be any takers so we're stuck with them for now), and while the players you mention would be upgrades, especially as most of those I mentioned could be considered 'squad' players, it would mean a fair old overhaul. I would rather they were slowly phased out of the club and replaced over the course of the next few seasons.
It may turn out that your argument is completely correct, but for now I'm sticking with option A as the best path for the team.
That's what my dad has texted me. He's watching Sky News.
Looks like there is a decent chance this might be made official today.
What EXACTLY is baffling? Please tell me.
To be fair, he's been posting videos of him doing MMA like Muay Thai, pictures of him playing football, basketball just kickabout.
Yes it's not ideal but he's hardly been laying around putting on weight for the past 3 weeks.
They are getting that from the Di Marzio article he posted yesterday.
Either that or if they do have their own sources their all saying the same thing and stars are alligning. Did they say according to Sky Italy or 'Sky Sources'? Anyone know? That big an update would surely be a headline on their transfer centre.
They're the same thing.
IF this was true (as in the story, not your dad texting you!) surely this would be a main headline on their website, or at least ON their website.
Touche my friend Touche- although they do tend to differentiate when reporting live on air i have noticed.
Can u even read? I said potentially!
Plus they are saying he has been released didn't Di Marzio say 'going to be'.
Stick to discussing Pogba, any more nonsense about other players will be deleted and result in threadban. This thread is fecking tiresome.
That juventus player Pogba is the only player for me
That's a good point. I'm going to try it with my boss.
Will Pogba still count as a ''homegrown'' player if/when he joins United?
No, he never was one.
I don't think he will count
Somebody tell the folks at SKY that the Internet exists, ahhh poor diddies
Sometime soon Poggy will be here .....
Yes, I have a starship

Yes, I have a starship
According to MR.Mujac he counts as home grown player.
I think he missed it by a few months.
Why? He was an academy graduate?
According to fm he is homegrown.
Today is the day...I hope.
Where has he said that? Unlike him to be wrong on youth stuff
To be homegrown a player must be registered for 36 months prior to his 21st birthday, Pogba missed it by like 3 months.
And according to Phil Neville he was here when he was 13. Doesn't make right.
Not sure if months are counted or just number of seasons. I asked MR.Mujac on Twitter, he said Pogba will count as home grown player.
Not sure though.
Didnt spend 3 seasons with us , which i think is the criteria for foreign players.
So, assuming we sign him during this weekend at some point, how long until he is in any shape to play? Considering none of our players have got through 90 minutes in any publicly viewed friendly, at what stage do we think we will see our full strength side on the pitch? September?
I think Pogba will need a couple of weeks training to catch up with his new teammates, and a couple of outings for the U21s (Leicester on the 15th for sure, likely Southampton on the 22nd too). He could be ready to debut against Hull on August the 27th, perhaps. What do you guys think?
I am a little concerned that we start against Leicester, Bournemouth, Southampton, Hull - teams that have had many fewer players away on international football, teams that have had more time to prepare, more fitness work and more matches in preseason. A slow start would pile even more pressure upon Pogba during a tricky spell of fixtures.
