40m is good value given the madness of the market. Wanted Fabinho more but that was a bit a gamble. At least with Matic we know exactly what were gonna get.

Pleased by this signing.

Monaco are refusing to sell fabinho this year. May be next year when fellani is also gone.
 
He played in that 2-0 win over Liverpool in 2014. Would be happy if we signed every player in that starting 11 if I'm honest.
 
He's name is Nemanja.
That can only be good.

Our history with Nemanjas has been brilliant so far.
 
Very good signing. He knows the league and the country, he has worked under Mourinho before and knows exactly what he wants from him. Can't think of another DM that could come in and make an impact from his first day at the club. Best of all is that with a solid DM shielding the defence we will see Pogba taking his game to next level.
 
Everyone so sure that we'll play Matic-Herrera-Pogba, and for the big games I'd say yes. But, what i would also expect is more high quality rotation. Especially against the smaller teams, which was a real problem last season. In such games I'd expect to see Matic-Pogba-Mkhitaryan for more goal threat.

Many different combinations for many different occasions. People get too fixated on the concept of a first choice xi.
 
Pogba was taking pictures with the laundry ladies last year and nothing happened to him.

That was more of an analogy to the interview after the Southampton game and Mourinho throwing him under the bus. Nothing will happen obviously
 
Stepped away for a few minutes to buy some farm fresh cucumbers and tomatoes and bam, fee agreed. Good stuff.
 
I confidently predict that with this signing Mourinho will finally achieve his dream of winning the 6 nations.
 
Think this will be announced in the next few days, but not today. Would surprise me, we have a game later

We announced that a fee had been agreed for Pogba about an hour before kick off at the Community Shield last year, so an announcement today is not out of the question.
 
I was against this transfer but once a player is on the way all you can do is look at the positives. Hopefully Herrera can get back to scoring goals again and maybe increase on his assist tally
 
hmm, another smokescreen? seriously after this long we end up spending 40m on Matic. Don't get me wrong hes a very good player, but we end up paying the same price as Chelsea's 22 year old replacement who they will get the value of his best years..

Guessing the tomato purchase was merely a cover for your real intentions with the cucumbers? Well played sir, not sure they bought it when the 3rd item was KY gelly.
 
So that's pur 3rd signing, any guess on the last one, 4th one ?

Give it a couple weeks, another Mourinho frustrated with Woodward/Glazers story will come out and then we'll sign the 4th.

So you're saying the tomatoes were a smokescreen?
