Nothing, just offering my two cents. I don't think that aside from Carrick who clearly can't play every game, Pogba doesn't have a partner suitable for bringing out the best in him if we're playing a 4-2-3-1. In order for Pogba to play a box to box role, he will need somebody who is defensively disciplined next to him. Herrera is not that player for me.

Just seen the Mourinho quotes, very encouraging. I'd guess this'll be announced Sunday to create hype before/after the CS, or Monday. Hallelujah!
We have:
Schneiderlin
Herrera
Carrick
Blind
Fosu-Mensah
(Schweinsteiger)
(Rooney)
Jose made clear that he doesn't plan with the last two (in CM at least..).
The remaining 5 players have to fight for that one position and all of them have either enough experience OR potential for that role.
Whoever forms the best partnership with Pogba will get that job.
The one that beats out those 4 competitors must be in an awesome form and a damn good PL footballer. That's good enough for me.
Stop it with the replacements, especially Schneiderlin and Herrera can do much more than they've shown so far.
Mourinho: "Yes, there will be a big signing. We have 22 players and we will have 23. He is a Juventus player until officially he is not."
It's so done. There is no way in hell you say "Pogba is a Juventus player until it is officially announced that he isn't." in the context of everything that has gone on if you haven't sealed the deal.
Maybe Castles connection to Jose is closer than we thought?

Surely just checking the thread title tells you if anything major has happened? Seems you're just irritated by the excited muppets and youngsters
Pogba TFM plus a deep lying playmaker is the midfield of the future
We knew it is very close. Castles has been bang on about everything related to us this summer.
Yeah, and I hope it works out, but Herrera for me will have to improve immensely if he's to make a good partner for Pogba. Maybe Mourinho is the man to drill some positional and defensive sense into him.
Does complaining about what others post contribute relevant Pogba transfer discussion to the thread?
He's always had the inside scoop on anything regarding Mourinho for years now
Castle's basically works for Jorge Mendes, he has been a Jose mouth piece for the last few years. He always used to spout biased Jose/Chelsea stuff for years on twitter, now he seems to have sided with us with positive Mourinho articles etc. If anybody knows it's him, and he says it's done. He has clearly been told.
Seriously, anyone want to deny this anymore.
He's one step away from pulling a Mkhi and saying "we have 4"
Bear in mind that Rooney will be dumped out of the team sooner rather than later if he doesn't perform (there's a decent chance of this happening IMO, Jose won't persisit with him for long if he's churning. This would free up Pogba for a Lampard/Gerrard style role and create another role in the team for someone like Herrera to operate in. I'd hold on to him for the time being.
Without the logo maybe we can't afford Pogba.
Nah I'm just paraphrasing.
What's that got to do with spoiling the top?
If you just want the relevant news, there is transfer tweet section on top that is as reliable as anything. Another thing that helps is if you only read the last page of this thread, it pretty much tells you where things are at the moment.
If people aren't allowed to chat on public forums, then where exactly do you think we should take this conversation? And sometimes when people are excited about something, the convo will get repetitive.
It's blatantly Lee Cattermole, mate.
Mou seems 100% confident it's done in that presser
The people connected with the club aren't even arsed to deny it.
“Yes [there will be a big signing]. We have 22 players now and we will have 23,” the 53-year-old told reporters.
“I don’t like to talk about other teams’ players. He is a Juventus player until officially he is not.”
No he has not. He has said we want to sell/loan every central defender that isn't Bailly or Smalling. He still says we want to sell Mata too.
Makes a change from 'I do not talk about other clubs players'.
It means the same, but a different phrasing.
To be fair the window is still open, its not unfeasible that Mata can leave and/or we loan out a few defenders.
I'd like to see Pogba in that kind of role for us, but he's such a complete midfielder that it'd almost be a waste of what he has to offer playing a box to box role from central midfield. One of his best qualities is his ability to bring the ball up the pitch from deep. We've been missing a central midfielder that can do that in what seems like forever.
I'm going for a Monday announcement.
It's Jordan Henderson. Mourinho likes the way he runs.
Really, all these people claiming to be ITK are just guessing. He is either coming or he isn't.
Flip and coin and tweet it.

Why is every player every other team buy are guaranteed success or are worth the money or are better than our players we are bringing in? Which other player have our rivals bought that he would say are no good or average? If he had a remotely balanced argument he would at least mention some of the subpar mediocre players that other teams have signed of which there are plenty.
He says Rojo, Jones, Blind and McNair are all up for sale or loan. Who on earth will play cover to Smalling and Bailly?
Mourinho is Mendez's biatch so clearly, he is conspiring with him to act as a distraction to ship Pogs off to Madrid.
all joking aside is this not just a rehashed version of what JM said before Rooney's testimonial a couple of days ago?
what a way to end my friday night.
WE ARE GETTING POGBA!!
WE ARE GETTING POGBA!!
Sounds even more done here.

Fellaini?
I was watching Jose on Skysport and I don't recall him saying: "a very good midfielder."
I watched it live and he definitely said it mate
Here's the press conference for those interested.
Just imagine if we don't sign him now
