We are United, we do not strive for "ordinary". Plus United have made the money fair and square, unlike certain oil clubs, so I have no problems with splashing it on quality.
Didn't they also do this for Ibrahimovich? A guy went in before it was confirmed, asking for Ibra's name on the back, and they said that they can't do it until it's confirmed by the club.
Other clubs or managers talking crap about us is nothing more than flattering to me. If they have nothing better to do than talk about Manchester United then oh well.
I think the price is right for Pogba. Sometimes you have to spend money to make money. Its dragging on but it's pretty much a done deal.
I like the look of our squad. I like Jose's attitude and confidence. I don't see any reason why we could not challenge for the league.

But there was actually a Swedish reporter who tried to have his shirt printed with Ibrahimovic, and as you can see in the following video/article, they actually required to see ID. But that didn't stop us from signing him anyway.

Nor do I.
I just don't think Wenger said anything that he shouldn't have. Klopp's statement on the Pogba transfer was a little less pragmatic though.
Juve apparently don't work on transfers on the weekends so it will be next week
I wasn't arguing against you, just making a point ... I agree his comments were OK. It's a high amount, but then there's more money than ever floating around.
Wont talk about him yet he specifically names him. Lol. Allergri would be well within his right to complain about some unethical colleague talking about his players.
I think that has been proven to be incorrect.
Plus as the buying team, surely it would be down to us?
Still expect him to be announced by Sunday as this is when he should be back in training with Juve.
The reporter named him when he asked him the question.
Watched the whole press conference. He made a very reassuring nod when he said "yes yes". Me balls went all tingly.
Its definitely Pogba and its going to happen before the start of the Premier League.
Maybe they will parachute him into Wembley right before we celebrate lifting the Community Shield
He basically confirmed we have 22 and are definately getting 23. The 23rd being a very good midfield player.
Its done mate. He also said it will be before the start of the premier league season.
We will be lucky to see him as a sub v Southampton. He wont be match fit.
Probably away to Hull.
Probably away to Hull.
Pity. I have tickets for the match this Sunday and the Friday night home game vs Southampton. Was hoping to see me some Pog.
You sound like LVG
The lad is fit as a whistle and probably has 2% body fat judging by his one on one basketball video with lukaku.
I think he should be able to be thrown into the deep end. Especially considering he doesnt really need to get used to his "new" surroundings! At least thats the hope!
2 weeks of full training? He'll be fine to be a sub at the very least. He is most likely keeping fit over the summer and he seems like a very fit person anyway so it's not like when Rooney would come back clearly lacking fitness. Wouldn't be surprised if he started against Southampton. Bournemouth is too soon though.
I don't think we would leave him out of the squad completely regardless of how fit he was.
It makes sense tho. Ibrahimovic, Pogba, Messi, Ronaldo - all those names are registered trademarks. United is a big institution and wouldn't want to face legal issues with printing those names on official shirts.Mandingo

He named him because the reporter asked him whats the latest on POGBA.
Too bad it is Friday match. Our first one too.
I am at the Sot'on game aswell. I wouldn't mind a bit of Pog that night as well.
Really? I didnt think it was that big a deal.
Think Mourinho's recent comments warrant a thread title update.
Did Mourinho actually say "my club is trying to do everything to close the market by the August 14"? If yes, how are people here so sure that it's going to be done in next few days? It sounds like we could be waiting another week for this.
Because he added "Normally next week we will have our squad closed."
Another way of saying all of the transfers will be sorted by the Bournemouth game imo.
Yes he said that
IF Pogba is due back to Juve on Sunday, I just can't see how something won't be confirmed before then. Although I think it's BS Sky did say he would be in Manchester on Saturday, so we shall see.
For all this talk about marketing exposure etc, I think we / Adidas would be missing a huge trick not to have him at the game on Sunday.
I wonder where he is supposed to report to Juve on Sunday? As a weird little twist of fate, both United and Juve are playing in London on Sunday, the day he is supposed to return to Juve if a sale is not yet complete.
Whether with the team in London or at the training ground in Italy, I can't imagine Juve wanting him to report with everything hanging over the situation, so you would think that they would try to get everything signed today or tomorrow. Doesn't mean we'll announce it right away, though. I suppose he also could just not report to Juve if the paperwork isn't signed.
I thought it very interesting that he said if you can afford it then you can justify it. Almost as if he accepts theres very little that he can say regarding it as a)its our money and b) we can afford it.
From what I have seen it is Turin, though this saga has ground us all into the ground so who knows.
It's obviously possible for him to report back to Juve, but logically you would have thought something will be announced later today / tomorrow.
Finally some concrete news with the jose comments after a very slow week on the pogs return front. Exciting weekend ahead.
He said that date because the league starts then. Its not a deadline of any sorts. Just saying we will conclude our business by the time the league starts. It could be anytime between now and then.
Yeahh you can tell Jose is just like the rest of us wants it done and him training with the squad. I enjoyed the bit at the end when he started talking about who we've brought in and said we're going to add a top quality midfielder to the squad
Whose that stood between micky and blind?
All of this is pointing at us signing pogba, specially with the latest Mourinho's comment, if any he is the real and most trusty ITK (I mean, he's the manager of the buying club)
