When we signed Memphis, Mata and Schneiderlin all of you were ecstatic. Time for new shiny toys, eh?

Not really. Memphis and Scneiderlin need more time. Hopefully this season they step up. Mata is well liked but slow ponderous football didn't suit him. So nothing to do with 'Shiney' toys at all..Eh. Everything to do with recognition of a great potential taking shape.
 
Always important to remember this every now and then. Laughing at other fan's antics is all good and fun, but sometimes these threads get in danger of becoming parodies of themselves.

It's interesting to see the disparity between their feelings towards him at the start of the season compared to the end of it. Will be interesting to see how Mou manages/facilitates his ego; he's done a stellar job with some big players in the past (and a not so amazing job with others).

Pogba is grounded, Mourinho won't have to manage his ego. And his mom is in charge of that part anyway.
 
They can change up until the start of the season. They stated when they release the squad numbers earlier in pre-season that they were provisional, but I'm sure it will be 6.
Was there really any doubt that he would be anything other than a 6?

Next year he will be a 10 after Rooney leaves.
 
Welcome home Monsieur Pogba.

Now let's get back to the top.
 
That quote is the funniest shit. I don't see how anyone can actually believe that..

this picture always comes to my head when I see things like this..

This is how transfers should be done. Kept quiet with the minimum of fuss and all wrapped up in double quick time, with little to no quibbling.
 
He deserves 10, but I don't know, I really love number 6 on him. Looks great, a good fit despite the history of the number.
 
Convinced that most of the marketing materials were done in the US during his vacation. Very possible that this deal has been done since after the Euros wrapped up.

One of the MEN guys said he did a shoot in the United kit last tuesday irrc
 
Delighted to see Paul back with us, top quality player that will improve us greatly once he settles in. Very excited for the start of the season now!
 
Stunningly you cant select his shirt yet on the online shop

So much hype around him, I hope he hits the ground running. One of the players I have always wanted at United so chuffed
 
All the hooplah, with hashtags, videos and photoshoots is new this season, isn't it? Can't remember it before anyway.

He's one cool and handsome bastard. The marketing team will be like a dog with two tails. Must have been a real ball-ache with Rooney as their most marketable asset.
 
That was a sneaky one to announce in the middle of the night, as if it was ever in any doubt though
They have basically screwed sleeping patterns for future transfer saga's.
Announced deal subject to medicals at the weekend (2 myths there).
Announced in the middle of the night.
 
Literally how many players can you lot name who looked unhappy at their unveiling/PR photos or first interview? The whole "you can really tell he's chuffed" is silly, I mean no shit. What's he expected to look like, miserable?

Seems like the marketing team have woken up to social media at last, I actually think it might be largely down to input from adidas.
 
Re-United ! Buzzing to have Pogba back just watched the interview and he looks thrilled to be here not like someone who wanted Madrid one bit :devil:

So it's confirmed £89m and nothing on top for Raiola, that somehow feels like a bargain after all the bullshit talk of £100m plus £20m.

Excellent work Woody.
I also like the fact that there is roughly 4m which they've to pay us back thanks to the FIFA solidarity payment rules :D

They need more time is what I say as well. But how can you not say we want new shiny toys when most of the people wanted to sell Memphis this summer or the next winter, that's not giving time, that's buying new shiny toys. I would like us to give time to Memphis and would like him to succeed here with us.

Schneiderlin was gonnna fix our midfield, great signing, replacement for Carrick, yada yada yada. Turns out he is not and will ever be a replacament for Carrick and now he is shite and will never be a replacement for Carrick, get rid.

As for Mata when we signed him it's again the same story, but later on we should get rid, no place in the team and Mkhitaryan is better than him now only because he is a new signing :confused:. Same thing happened last season with buying Memphis when everyone thought he will immediately replace Young and be a great player from the getgo. Same thing will probably happen with Mkhitaryan.

The thing I'm saying is newly bought players are always world beaters and much better than the players we bought before or we raised just because, well they're new shiny toys, NOW GET THEM INTO THE STARTING 11 MOU!
 
They just posted the second part of the interview and what strikes me is the amount of times he is expressing his joy to come back at this club. He looks genuinely happy to be back. The guy must really love the club. This is even more exciting that i was expecting. It's probably our best buy since Ronaldo or Rooney.
 
My god, how long have we been waiting for this moment? I was actually jumping up and down when i saw the announcement
 
Not long woke up to this news, buzzing that we've actually got him back now and looking forward to the season started now and hope for a good start against Bournemouth.

One thing I'm not happy about and that is I literally stopped looking for news and went to sleep at 12:10 last night thinking it will be at least 9am before anythings announced, 10 fecking minutes later he was announced, bastards! :lol:
