Now these are my thoughts exactly.
The only thing which makes me postive about Pogba is that Jose wants him and thinks that he is worth £100M (or whatever the cost is).

My take on things is that if we break a world transfer record, that player needs to be a game changer. Messi. Neymar. Bale. Muller. These are the sorts of players who can win you a game, when the team as a whole are not performing particularly well.

Souness' scouse sensibilities are affecting his judgement, Pogba will win Manchester United the Premier League.

Pogba is the closest we can buy to the player City had in Yaya Toure of a few seasons ago: He is strong, speedy and has a bullet shot. Its very true there are holes in his game, and these have been compensated for by playing him in a three man midfield for France and Juve. The key thing to note though is, Toure has the same flaws and in his prime still managed to dominate most Premier League sides. It was only in Europe, against more sophisticated opponents, that Toure got exposed. In the open spaces and end to end stuff of English football Toure looked terrific. I'd expect Pogba to be the same.

You just have to look at how Lingard cut through the centre of Leicester yesterday to see what impact Pogba will have in the Premier League.
 
My biggest worry about the medical today is if players are training today all the players will want to meet him before he even gets on a treadmill.

Could be a long medical.

No, xavi and iniesta never scored 50 goals or more, but they brought was an impact on the barca midfield which saw Barca dominate the midfield, who in the hell is out there like messi and neymar? if we payed 90 million for iniesta at the age of 23, I think the price would be justified. Players being worth 90 million in midfield is justified if he's one of the best midfielders in his position, which the CM is just has important has the attacking position. Its pretty damn hard to find a player of Pogba's quality's, and it is fantastic we going into big games with a dynamic CM like pogba has the big hitter

So you think Riola might have got his fee from us AND 20% of what we paid Juve? Or Riola didn't have an agreement with Juve whereby he was owed 20% of the transfer fee?

I think Raiola either got a fee directly from us in lieu of a payment from Juve or he got a cut from the transfer fee and we're paying a lot less than some Italian journalists would have had you believe. Or the third option that 20% was bollocks and no one is paying him that much.

Either way it seems silly to add a Raiola fee on top of the transfer fee. Every transfer costs the club more than the up front transfer fee price and will include agent fees and signing on fees that we don't include in the 'transfer fee' so it's inconsistent to start now.

How is this a worry? If its not done today it'll be done tomorrow. Makes no difference, he likely not to feature vs Bournemouth anyway
 
I am not a betting man or don't like claiming things but - I would be surprised if he wasn't in team of the season this year. Pogba is the type of player that never let's his head drop, if he performs like shite it won't bring him down it will only push him to surpass everyone and prove the doubters wrong, believing in yourself and letting nothing stop you is the most important attribute when it comes to developing into a world
Class player. His confidence is everlasting and probably his most important attribute.

Welcome home lad, we've missed you.

Forget game changer - Pogba will completely change the dynamic of our whole team if he plays to his abilities and is utilised in the right way. He can carry balls from midfield and make things happen as we have seen time and time again, and that's what this team has been crying out for since before Fergie left.
 
Pogba fees is unbelievable. One that makes you question the dynamics of football. But, no business in the world can attract the attention that football does. United didn't only buy a player, United made an investment. It also helps change our recently damaged reputation a little bit. Signing Pogba is a statement and a necessary one.

Pogba is young. He hopefully has 10 years of top level football in him. United has to be contending CL every year. Under Jose, Semifinals has to be a standard. We haven't done it for so long. With Pogba and Jose, we can do it. And it also shows that we want to do it.

If we managed to play Pogba in 2012, we probably could have won that championship. I am happy with the current state of United. But maybe, we wouldn't have suffered as we did for the last three years.

Paul Pogba is a red :devil:

The fear from Souness everybody in the league is terrified that we're back. we've signed 3 world beaters and a very good centre half.Oh I love being hated rather then people having pity for us.Its good to be back.

He looks like someone you'd see on Cowboy Builders/Rogue Traders - potentially scamming the elderly on a loft conversion they did not originally desire, with no remorse for his actions & usually declines to comment.

EDIT: Pogbas mum looks like she's on her way to see her new 'luxury' conversion, soon wipe that grin off her face when her £50k has paid for nothing more than 4 holidays and a hot tub for his Alsatian.

Pogba's mum looks like John Coffey in a wig.

EDIT - Paul, if you read this - I'm sorry. Your mum looks lovely. Please sign for us.

MUTV should be made free on days like these and should follow the player around so it builds fan excitement


missed out on some priceless marketing

On the contrary, moments like this are part of what will justify the sub fee. That's like asking Sky to make the biggest games free as promo. MUTV won't drive subscription by making all the best bits free.
 
Souness is just a little nervous we're back. I have total trust in Jose. If he thinks he is the right man for United then so be it.

At some point, its not even worth debating with some people.

Sometimes its signing the players that make the whole team tick which allow your strikers to score 30-40 goals that matters more.
 
Souness pretty much sounds like all my otherwise sensible Scouse friends who're suddenly very concerned about our finances and transfer habits.

It means they're dreading seeing us return to the top, this signing is as strong of a statement as you get.
 
Why can't he play on Sunday? If I remember correctly it took about 48 hours to bring back Scholes from retirement to play against City... Would be a funny turnaround.
 
We've also managed to spend a whole page talking about who's Pogba's mum's driver looks like.

The thread that keeps on giving.
