After doing a 5 min check, every single journo with any reliability on that list has reported Pogba to United. Just a matter of when...
The price was probably agreed in around 10 minutes of the meeting. The rest of the time is the cocaine, hookers and caviar. a 2nd meeting is generally needed to remember what happened.
What is this? Westeros?
friday!!
Already answered in that post, he was instrumental in getting his national team and club team to a final.
I doubt it but your enthusiasm is infectious!friday!!
wouldn't surprise me if Raiola had a deal with papers that it will take some time so they can sell their shitty articles
Raiola has a hint of littlefinger about him yes.
This isn't football manager. The entire process is mostly legal, everything has to be written out, checked, confirmed, agreed to, processed, evaluated then signed.
The Law firm i'm at when it comes to any new deals it's a long & strenuous process of raising paperwork and having it checked and confirmed can take months depending on the size of the deal. Then it needs to be sent other to the other party, that can take 1 day, 1 week, 1 month maybe longer.
Then we need to countersign, from there it's a process of evaluating all the terms and conditions involved and many more steps.
With football you'll need to consider all the personal terms that need to be included, terms from both clubs, sponsorship and image rights of both the club and the player, add-on bonuses & wages, clauses in contract. Agent terms and conditions.
Honestly the fact that it gets turned around as quickly as it does is quite remarkable.
Unfortunately our Woody isn't as hot shot a CEO as you clearly are.
I was about to say something like this, but you've done it in a much more succinct and erudite way. Good post.
It's a legal minefield, and it probably takes a big team of lawyers on both sides to sort out quickly.
In fact, here they come now
Yeah but what exact time today? Because if it's not by mid afternoon there will be a meltdown on the caf!
I think if we pull this one off, we might have to give Woody some credit on the football side of the job for once.
By done I mean an official announcement on the United site.
Isnt it past noon already in Europe? Whats taking so long?
Sure, I'm fine with that definition. But that is pretty much the problem, marketability is probably measured by how many Pogba shirts we could sell, but that is correlated to the "illusion", "love" for Pogba, not his ability to get us winning, or playing good football. I didn't feel we needed to be more marketable as much as I believe we need to perform better.
That said what if Pogba comes in and does a Fellaini, does that throw his marketability out the window?
pretty much

That whole episode of them going to broker a deal on our behalf is hilarious
The quality of their suits should've given them away though.
He's Varys' greedy twin.
What do you mean 'does a fellaini'? If you mean flop?...his marketability would take a small hit but it would I think you are underestimating the player rather then some of us over estimating him
United will make a lot of money from Pogba's marketing. After he becomes the world's most expensive player playing in the EPL he will attract lots of sponsors for United and himself and of course United will have about 50% of his image rights.
He's worth about £50 million as a footballer right now but with his potential and marketability it will be a good move for United in the long term.

Yep, this is my stance on the whole thing
I dunno, Rooney seems to have maintained his marketability despite being poor at football for the last few years.
Why not for the other good signings of this window?
Did he? Playing Gignac ahead of Martial? I have followed Deschamps closely in the past years but in Italy he was meah at best and its quite an easy to lead honestly

Squawka "Exclusive" - via Greg Stobart
Since when is "squawka" a source?
I think its more down to relationship between Jose and Raiola
Are Squawka supposed to be ITK?
They don't source their information. "Sources close to the deal". Whose sources ? Squakas ? A complete joke.
It's GroundPog Day......
no idea, it's quite bizarre. Most of their "news" has been player analysis after the transfer has happened. Yet they are running this as an exclusive.
A transfer of a player is nothing like any other deal. Between the clubs the only thing that needs to be agreed is the Transfer Fee, payment terms and any sell-on terms. The other terms that you mentioned would have to be agreed with the player himself and would not form part of any discussion with the selling club.
In Pogba's case, it seems we have an in-principle agreement with Pogba/his agent regarding the terms of his contract. The only thing remaining is agreeing a fee with Juventus for transferring his registration to us. It really is a matter of agreeing on a fee Juventus and any sell on clauses.
Unless they are using that "reliable" goal italy journo as their source and just over-hyping their article, as he's reporting the same thing.
That's only a tiny fraction of it. Internet hits, poster views, sponsor adds etc. The list is endless/as long as the imagination of our commercial department which by all accounts is bloody good!
He's a top class soon to be world class player and he's easier to get because he's not at a top paying, top league club. This deal is a no brainer in my view, even for £100m plus. We have the cash and if we can't get Neymar/Bale/Messi (not for a lack of trying if you believe the reports) then Pogba is the one to kickstart a new era at the club. His value should also only go up given that he's 23 and should still improve quite a lot.
edit: I also have complete confidence that Pogba will not do a Fellaini. He's the least likely player available to do a Fellaini.

I'll actually enjoy using Utd on FIFA head-to-head seasons again if Poggy joins!
That's the most important thing about all of this.

Well it didn't work out the way we hoped but at the time it was a massive signing to rival the Pogba one in scale.
Unless you're Olly, please don't spam this thread with memes or pointless animated gifs. Instant infractions and/or thread bans will result.
They are good signings but not a huge signing like this would be
Good point
