On Paul Pogba, here is what Jose said:

"I don’t like to speak about other players. Other managers like to do that. What matters to me is only what happens in my house, not the house of my neighbour. Pogba is a Juventus player until officially he isn’t. It stays like this. I think my club is trying to do everything to close our market before August 14. So hopefully be next week we will have our squad closed."

He later on said:

"We have a young CB that needs time to be a top one, but he has top potential and we believe a lot in him, We bought a creative player we know the quality he has .We bought a super striker and we are going to get a very good midfield player. So I am happy with my squad and the effort the club did and is still doing."
 
There would be no point in him going back to Turin to train individually or with the youth team if he's going to be sold.

I think Juventus will announce he is leaving before/on Sunday

Heard somewhere they never make announcements in the weekend, I don't know how much off that is true. But it is part of my reasoning why I think it will be on monday or tuesday
 
Hopefully Schneiderlin in the presence of his upcoming club team mate will remind himself how it's like to be a classic Premier League box-to-box destroyer.
 
It will happen any day next week. The club is planning to finish it's transfer business before August 14th, before the start of our season. Jose has basically confirmed Pogba is coming in the press conference
 
Yes, I don't mean nationally, but he was like a month short of counting as homegrown at Man Utd.

the 3 season thing does not have to be with the same club, it can be with multiple clubs as long as the are part of the FA or FA of Wales.

I'm talking about homegrown at club, not country. Jones is homegrown in England, but a month short of homegrown at Man Utd.

Not sure what you're getting at here - there is no official 'one club only' home grown rule which applies to any of the competitions that United participate in so your distinction is a bit arbitrary... :confused:
 
Oh man can you imagine this place if after Jose said all this, the player ended up being Matuidi of Diarra lol. It would ALMOST be worth it just to see the meldown.:D

Which press conference was this?
 
I stand corrected.

Said the man in the orthopaedic shoes.

Maybe all this is just a Messi smokescreen.

But in all seriousness Pogba is the level of player we need to be aiming at to fast track our way back to the top table.

Will be interesting to see our targets in the next few windows.
 
"He is a Juventus player...until officially he isn't." :lol:

May as well have Kermit himself sat behind the desk.

So Pogba is officially a home-grown United player. We are potentially going to spend £100m on buying back a home-grown United player. This has to be a first in world football. For a club to break a transfer record to buy back a 'home-grown' talent.
Get over it, it will be a terrific transfer for the club.

I'm not sure if it's on topic, but in the CL and EL you need 8 players association-trained and 4 of the 8 players need to be club-trained.
 
Here's the press conference for those interested.



Aaaah.
So the provisional deadline he has set on Pogba is 14th August.
That's more like it. I trust Mourinho far more than journalists who make up their own timetables, using a random number generators.

For example, The Telegraph who I previously respected, stated that the signing would be announced yesterday.

Buying back our own player is what makes this strange. Which we've known about for ages. Why are you getting additionally wound after just finding out he's "home-grown"? The regulations mean home-grown players are more valuable. So usually come at a premium. This fact makes the price seem less steep, not more.

He's not homegrown, unfortunately.
 
At the end he says "our market WAS good, we decided to bring 4 players..... " he's not even trying to deny it. :lol:

Just for clarification purposes in future discussion on this subject

I Had no idea what you were on about, but when googling it found this information on website of uefa for registering players for CL or EL:

What is the A list of players?

No club may have more than 25 players on List A during the season, two of whom must be goalkeepers. As a minimum, eight places are reserved exclusively for 'locally-trained players', of which no more than four can be 'association-trained players'.

What is a 'locally-trained player'?

These are split into two categories: 'club trained' and 'association trained'.

What is a 'club-trained player'?

One who, between the age of 15 (or the start of the season during which he turns 15) and 21 (or the end of the season during which he turns 21) has been registered with his current club for a period, continuous or not, of three entire seasons or 36 months. This is irrespective of his nationality and age.

What is an 'association-trained player'?

One who, between the age of 15 (or the start of the season during which the player turns 15) and 21 (or the end of the season during which the player turns 21), has been registered with a club or with other clubs affiliated to the same association as that of his current club for a period, continuous or not, of three entire seasons or 36 months. This is irrespective of his nationality and age.

Posts like this are so boring especially when repeated so much.
