I'd love Pogba to score a belter in the top corner against them.fecking bitter scouse cnut
Paul Pogba | Undergoing Medical | Helping out the Laundry Ladies
- Thread starter KM
- Start date
In fairness he is not wrong. I really do think Pogba is overrated but potentially worth the fee.
Maybe part of the medical is to try and avoid Jones on the training pitch.....
That makes sense then, thanks.
So, in fact the fee keeps on coming down (as the £/€ exchange rate becomes less favorable
). Can you imagine, if the £ strengthens again against the €, to 1.40 say, the papers will inflate the fee to €125M, and then quote it in £.Yes they have been in there for ages and still no sign, clearly some sort of hostage situation!
How long does it take to do a medical? Surely its time to see him wearing our jersey soon.
How on earth is it racist to compare Pogba's mum to Whoopi Goldberg and other different people, but saying her driver looks like David Gill isn't racist?
That makes sense then, thanks.

Think our accounts are done in Dollars these days, as we are on NYSE. Its USD vs Euro that ya need to keep an eye on.
Yes but he can fail a medical on purpose. You just hold your leg or start limping on the treadmill.
The agreements will be 'subject to medical' and I for one wouldn't put it past him

2nd part is an obvious troll but the 1st part is very true. Pogba looked very lost for Juve when Marchisio and Khedira were injured. He needs to have a reliable midfielder, preferably 2 to cover the space he leaves behind. He pretty much plays the central midfield role almost like a number 10 who helps out with defending.
He was being ironic, mocking Carrick and Fellaini saying they're quality and better than pogba.I think one thing we all must realise here as fans of Manchester United and of football this moment is partly about the fee as you say.
The announcement is an opportunity for the club to say something along the lines of [made up quote just to illustrate a point]:
It's a moment for the club to sell the vision to prospective players of future windows such as next year to think:
"Manchester United have opened negotiations with me, I know what they're building, I can see they want to win at all costs. I can work with top players, and a top manager in the worlds biggest league".
I think even as important of all of this it gives chance Pogba to sell his ambitions and why he has joined.
Huge opportunity today though for the world-media, there'll be HUGE media coverage and it's a huge chance for Manchester United to set precedence for the next footballing cycle. Madrid did it with Ronaldo and Kaka. The eyes were on Madrid.
All the attention is on United today and this transfer window with Zlatan Mkhitaryan and Pogba, don't blow it basically.
He's surely announced sometime tonight?
Wasn't it the same with Zlatan? He was at Carrington for his medical a bit past noon and was announced early evening?

Not if medical goes into a 2nd day like some are reporting.
found a more up to date look at medicals from the snazzy new Saint Georges Park complex where any club can do medicals

I reckon tonight. That Craig Norwood tweet makes me think he is already there to do the pics.
I'm sure you can work out the difference between one person making a bad comparison and a whole bunch of people falling over themselves to say which black woman stereotype Pogba's mum most closely resembles.
But why should it? Unless it's some sort of new procedure or we're extra cautious for some reason? I don't think I've ever heard about a medical take more than a few hours. As stated many times it wouldn't be possible to do last minute deals at deadline day, if it took days.
Don't know where Sky got that idea from.
They're probably at Carrington, drinking Fergie wine and having a laugh
Maybe he's just not fit enough to complete every exercise in one go or maybe because of the transfer fee, we have to do extra tests for insurance purposes.
How is that any different than every other time someone says that someone looks like someone else? Like when her driver was David Gill. I don't see the racist remarks.
Only reason I can think of is if he has been on some long flights and is knackered. However it looks like he only flew from France today.
How many medicals have been longer then a day? And bear in mind, he's been doing the medical for about 4 or so hours now. I would think his mum traveling up with him should mean later today but maybe it's just to keep him company. Rooneys will always be the best one as he was doing his pics in the stadium when paddys show was on
Any 'delay' could be to do with Adidas and their United ad but who knows?
No white text?

It's the opposite, the fee United are paying is in Euros not Pounds , thus if the Pound continues to get weaker the fee will appear to be more expensive in Pounds
This thread is hilarious. I haven't been on CAF for 6 hours and see about 500 posts to read but going through them had brought many laughs, specially the flight trackers and Manchester Airport muppetry.
When did Tahith Chong and Anderson become black woman stereotypes?
Maybe they were mocking her, I don't know, but I don't see the racism.
A few of the posts have been deleted.
Craig Norwood is not the Manchester United official photographer.
We're not going to debate that here.
Yeah right, next thing you'll be telling us that we don't have to wait for NYSE to open to announce transfers, or that we can announce deals on a weekend.Bloody chancer.
I was going to go with a simple: "Manchester United are thrilled to announce that Paul Pogba has completed his medical and joins the club for a world record fee of [XYZ]."
That would be enough to send media into overdrive and it will at least slightly irk Madrid. I fully expect Marca to try and downplay this transfer.
I am still fecking amazed that we manged to get him back tbh
Its just so implausible
Its just so implausible
We'll have a full media spread for this, I'm sure. Guarantee any hold-up is not medical related but rather for photo-ops, social media coordination, blah blah blah
He should be announced today if he's going training tomorrow.
Gagging for a 6pm announcement like the Zlatan one was when he rocked up for a mid-day medical
Physically gagging
Physically gagging
Transfer of the century.
What time did he arrive at Carrington?
