Will Pogba be with Jose though?

Seems strange we are yet to unveil any of our new signings to the press (ok via MUTV but sure Falcao and Di Maria go their own press conference).

I doubt he will be tbh, think we're only doing the MUTV interviews this season or we would've got a press conference while on tour for Bailly, Ibra & Mkhi. Reckon this press conference will just be about Sunday.
 
I know this is off topic but are we really the richest club in the world? Wenger just said that we are but Barcelona 's revenue was €675m. Our projected revenue is £500m?

Barcelona will have the higher revenues when their new deals kick in. At the moment I believe that they are third.

With Pogba signing and some success (hypothetically), we can pull up ahead again.

Think about it. They have Messi all along then Neymar the last 3 years, plus winning CL and all and still couldn't take over us (terrible period with Rooney as our poster boy) and Madrid.

I don't know much about financial aspect, but I think this maybe just Barcelona gives out positive news, not official figure. Official report comes later with all the clubs being compared. There is also report recently that we would take over the top spot from Madrid in near future.

We could have milked it even more. Imagine MUTV dedicating the who day to this transfer. From the moment he lands, all the way to the official announcement inside a packed OT where Fergy hands him the jersey and welcomes him back home.


Instead we got a 1.5m video.

They could have done that but it's MUTV so as usual 5 minute interview, then probably later that night a studio phone-in to find out what John from cambridge makes of it all.

The channel needs a huge shake up. They've had basically the same format and faces for 15 years.

Maybe, but they have actual deals. Though I might be wrong since the TV deals changed in both leagues.

Edit: As for the second part, they had an old and outdated kit deal.

PL improved TV deal is significant better than the La Liga counter part. Ironically, the new TV deal in La Liga actually is more harmful to Barcelona and Real Madrid than useful. The other La Liga teams get a better cut while so little improvement for Barcelona & Real Madrid.

I am aware of it, but IIRC the kit deal was decided as not as good as ours. Let me check.

Edit: what @cyberman said. Nike deal would be better than our Adidas for the time being. However the sponsor shirt deal, they are way below ours so it's even out for the time being.. Just find out the revenue they boast consists of other sportst: basketball, handball, field hockey.... Football wise Madrid would likely still remain the top earner for the time being with their CL win. With Mourinho and the signing of Pogba & Zlatan alone, we likely get significant boost in revenue this time next year.

Shame they didn't do the Spanish style presentation that had been rumoured, that would have been cool for all muppets.

Oh well, at least we got the deal done!

I think the kit deals even themselves out. They have a better manufacturing deal but their shirt sponsorship is a disgrace. They're placed around 9th with that deal if I remember correctly.
 
If I walked into a restaurant and saw Micky and Pogba there I'd drop trow and start windmilling my cock at the beautiful pair of bastards.
 
I hope that is going to play against Bournemouth. It would be nice to see him and Ibra score.

You would put them off their food, at least hang around outside waiting with your pants down armed and ready
 
Pogba to come on at 70 minutes (and score a hatrick?) Hopefully replacing Wayne

Hopefully Micki to start although I feel bad for Jesse as he has been excellent and doesn't deserve to be dropped imo.
 
It's absolutely ridiculous how we can compete with Barca and Real in terms of money and status even though in the past 3 years we've gone from Sir Alex to Moyesy and Van Gaal, with no CL football (except that one year with VG where we did, but didn't get past the group stages) and playing ugly football. To top it all, Barca and Madrid have a TV deal that gives them 80% of the revenue and have won CL's in these years, as well as other trophies while we have had one FA cup. And not to mention while Real Madrid and Barca have Ronaldo and Messi as their poster boys, we have fecking Rooney.

Imagine if Mourinho had taken over after SAF... We would have been the richest club by far. It really boggles my mind how Moyes got the job, that's something I'll never figure out.
 
I have to say, I not normally one for the marketing but this adidas campaign is pretty fecking good!

Yeah I'm really enjoying it. Also for the first time in 5 or 6 years, I look at the players in that video and am overcome with confidence in our squad. Incredibly pumped for this season.

Deffo, the team is has exciting as its been for a while now!

Also, as aside one of the lyrics in the Know Me From song is this:
I come to your team and I feck shit up
I'm David Moyes

Shame thats not in the promo vid ;)

Better late, than never. Hopefully Mourinho fulfills his expectations and we go back to where we belong.
 
That can't be right...:wenger:

Unless Pogba got a ban with his last game with us 4 years ago and never served it, but I don't know if it works like that. Also would be impressive to get 5 bookings in 7 games :lol:
 
The website with the list of suspensions is now showing an error. Might be a mistake?
 
Like I'd rather he not play the first game anyway since he hasn't trained enough, but I'm struggling to think where he might have picked that up? Was it something he did in Italy that's carried over? Did he do something before he left United?
 
Booked twice in copa italia resulting in a 1 game ban :lol: He wouldn't play anyway so doesn't make a difference.
