Is it strange that this video gave me goosebumps?
Both him and Neymar are a commercial partners dream in terms of marketability, as both really know how to tap into the modern football fans tastes/trends and are very genuine and nice guys to boot. Ronaldo and Messi don't have the swag factor at all, both are quite cringe at times but are exceptional footballers.
£89m is a bargain for Pogba, stones just went for £47.5m.
It's fantastic.
If he delivers on his potential, then he and Neymar will take over from Ronaldo and Messi as the respective faces of Nike and adidas for the next decade or so.
Maybe but it's a good video, not as cheesy as it could be.
He is more silk than steel.
Keane was not about silk for sure. He was simply a force of nature. Pogba does have all the silk you like. But the core is steel. And that is what we have lacked. I'm not arsed about the money. Now the team will be built around him and like the team built around Keane will go on to dominate football for a decade.
I made a thread which was swiftly closed yesterday saying I'm concerned now we've got him we must utilise his skills properly or else he'll be labelled a huge flop I hope he's mentally strong.
He is not a defensive mid he is best as an advanced mid. The media will be all over him if he has a few average games just like they were at euros playing him deep next to I presume carrick is not a good idea.
I just don't see why we'd break the transfer record and not play him where he's most effective. Rooney and Ibra doesn't work that's obvious so For the good of the team and Ibrahimovic especially pogba must be our number 10.
I Hope this signing means mourinho is edging Rooney out finally. Anyway can't wait to see him back in United red

Apparently lukaku was there with pogba at his signing and stayed to early morning
Thats exactly why it gave me goosebumps.
Unlike Neymar and Pogba?
Well we find them cringe because we're older and we find the dabbing and dancing all bit silly.. but trust me for young kids, these guys are incredible marketable and 'cool'.
That's quite impressive. They got a lot done between 2-3pm and presumably 10-11pm. Including a medical.
And they were aiming for 9pm.
I agree
Not sure mate. This is going to sound ridiculous, but to me it seems like Ronaldo and Messi were just focused fully on football and do the other stuff for the cash (Messi more so than Ronaldo). However, with these two, they seem like normal lads who are incredible at football. They have more of that celebrity about them than the other two.Unlike Neymar and Pogba?
Fixed it for you
Cheers mate!
I reckon it'll be a mix of French, New Guys (Bailly's a french speaker) and Old Mates. Pictures of Pogba, Martial, Lingard, Bailly and Schneiderlin all hanging out in a gold G55 AMG in Manchester city center are almost upon us.
Honestly, this hype is something I haven't felt in a long time. It's surreal. It's mental. The media campaign is out of this world....
....and I'm loving every bit of it. Wonderful stuff.

Those twitter vids are brilliant.
And to top it all off, Adidas have gone crazy on Pogba, hopefully this means we are no longer beholden to Rooney with sponsors. Shift him on and spend big an another big replacement next summer.

They are doing!
I agree, that could be a brilliant line up. If that clicks, we have everything
They aren't half bad though, especially the second one.Adidas is so not regretting paying us so much money now!
I can't believe we hired a Pogba double just so we could cut a devil into his hair to shop onto Pogba's head. We are mental.
He's actually got a point. This current generation find it easier to identify with the likes of a Pogba or Neymar rather than your Messi or Ronaldo.Unlike Neymar and Pogba?
It's all about hips and cools with today's kids and that's the type of market Adidas and co will definitely target given they composed the majority of social media traffic and such. Heck Adidas being all willing to use Pogba as their face when they've got Messi tells you everything. Pogba has the personality to be a huge marketing tool, he can generate buzz due to his personality(same with Neymar).
Someone like Messi is a bit too tamed to produce constant marketing buzz w/o on field feats. Outside the pitch he lacks that personality and presence your Neymar and Pogba have in order to be marketable power houses. With Ronaldo and Messi on their way out in the coming years, the main faces of Nike and Adidas are likely to be carried by Neymar and Pogba.
They are THAT marketable. And if they further realize their vast potential on the field, than the sky is the limit when it comes to marketability.
True, my nephew loves Pogba.
What follows your first clause is a searing indictment of the times.
And, while doing that, being so cheap that we leave the tags on his United clothing

Oh yeah, the core is steel but I was to make a comparison with french players, he is built like Vieira but play like Tigana, he is refined and classy. To me Vidal is Keane heir, a very good technique combined with aggression, intensity and passion.
When I think about it, Pogba and Ibrahimovic are classy midgets in giants' bodies, their apparences are deceiving.
Using "Justin Bieber" is just lazy criticism. He's got absolutely feck all to do with any of this. As an incredibly white 30 year old, none of this is up my street either but he's a style icon to a new wave of youngsters and the club and adidas are marketing him to them.
Since there isn't a shortage in funds for either team, these lunatic figures simply don't matter. It's no different than a mid-table Championship team spending 5m on a player.
FFS delete that, we don't need to draw attention to some silly actions and spreading negativity.

some good comparisons.
for me though. Keane was a one off..like Best.
We will never see teh likes of them again.
But with Pogba, the last piece of the puzzle is complete.
The title? Here we come.
This whole week btw I will be reading the postings at RAWK, from gooners and Blue Moon.
You've quoted it now, so that would be rather tricky.
So damn excited. Can't wait to see him play. Might get myself a Pogba shirt too
Is it wrong of me that a big part of me celebrates this Pogba signing because he will take over Rooneys marketing role at the club, easing the process of getting rid of the latter?
Imo. this is Rooneys last season at MUFC.

Man feeling like Sunday is far away let alone 2 weeks for Pogba to make his official debut(I'm hoping he makes a cameo Sunday and get his debut next week)
