Downright delightful, compared to some of the ridiculous rumours early on.

£30m for three years? We'll make more than that in extra commercial revenue!!
Zlatans english will be very good from being a Swede since you are taught it at age ~4ish and then the majority of TV shows imported are American, and the internet really helps people with learning languages too. Then his time in Italy helps him, French/Italian/Spanish IIRC are all Latino languages so it helps enourmously.
There's a lot of crossover, just like with Scandinavian languages all being similar (for the most part) and having germanic origins means there's even similarities with english, german but of course there's false friends, you can't literally translate, there's different patterns of speech. sentence structure, tenses irregular verbs etc.
I think for Pogba his family being in Manchester means he's never really lost the accent, being French he would be speaking english quite a bit as an intermediate language eg if you have a german and a french person they would speak english as a middle-ground.
I'm surprised at Pogbas level of Spanish but again latino language helps but it's still a huge effort to learn a language it takes so much dedication and immersion I'm not sure where he's got it from. I can understand Pogba having Italian, English, French but Mkhitaryan even Rakitic no idea how they speak so many languages, I kind of expect Mkhitaryan to start speaking Elvish from LOTR in his post-match conference at this rate.
Yes, that was my point. Is everybody in here pissed or something? Just high on Pogba maybe?
Is this blood thing bad news? Has he been snorting in Vegas?
- Rooney's Armenian I believe
No chance, his English isn't good enough for an Armenian.

Indeed, Fellaini's first language is French, although he does also speak Dutch as he grew up in Brussels. Mkhitaryan does speak French fluently after living there as a child - in fact he is something of a polyglot, and speaks Russian, German and Portuguese in addition to English and his native Armenian. Januzaj is also fluent in French, although I don't know whether his native language is Albanian.
As @Paul the Wolf says, Zlatan's French is terrible.
Probably just if there are certain indicators in the basic tests they have to send it off for full analysis. Nothing to worry about.
It's a UK version which first became mainstream in the mid 2000's (Lethal Bizzle, Kano, Dizzee Rascal etc).
It has to have (I think 120 odd) beats per minute. A variation of hip hop and rap really.
He's been smiling in every picture I've seen of him today. He must be genuinely ecstatic to be coming home 
Yeah I watched that video for the first time whilst our house was being done and the Internet was disconnected, so my data was going fasttttttt
Let's hope for an announcement before RDCR notices
I'd give the third spot a shot but I'd be banned
Better go to bed instead!
Is it a problem to test positive for TCH? No idea how the EPL feels about it. Since guys don't get popped regularly I'm assuming it's not really tested for.
Naw, I think only NFL players are dumb enough to fail a drug test they know is coming.

Sleep, how are you managing to sleep with Pogba on our minds
Did you even read what you posted? It says the fee for Raiola isn't included in the fee we paid Juve and that he was/is demanding €10m, now where does it say that we haven't/aren't paying his fee?
So is it officially a 5 year contract? A 6 year contract was rumored.
Koka is gone in 72 hours (or should I say 48?
) but that ganja stays with you for weeks, lets hope our medical requirements have evolved from right-wing myths Take a bow.
He reminds me of Dappy... at least with that Nick Jonas/ Pogba song

French is not Latino, it's more akin to English believe it or not. I speak Portuguese and can understand a bit of Spanish and Italian and my Afrikaans(third language) helps me understand a bit of Dutch and German but still all thise languages are pretty different. Now I understand Mkhitaryan speak a few languages but not sure if French is one. French is a total other beast and definitely has no relation to the Roman orgins of the Italians. French has a Gaul influence.
I thought by saying it wasn't included in the fee we are paying to Juve it meant we aren't responsible for the payment to Raiola (as the deal was between Juve and Raiola)
Either way doesn't matter, only £8.5m
That is a dab with the arm not stretched out, right?

Was Dappy the bloke from Blazin Squad?
No, N Dubz (I swear).
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas....
We pretty much have the same words than italians and spanish, it's definitely a romance language.
Not sure you could be more wrong if you tried.
To add to that, whilst French is not a latino language, it is one derived from latin.
English is Germanic, which is quite different. Most gallicisms are a remnant of the monarchy, since the British monarchy's preferred language, was and remained for a long time: French.
Mikhy...The armenian dude grew up in France, French is arguably his first language.
Maybe, but we have been playing 4-2-3-1 in all the friendly games so I dont think we are suddenly going to change to 4-3-3 now he has come. Mourinho has been chasing him for weeks and surely planning the squad with his arrival in mind.
Personally I dont buy in to a lot of this tactical talk of formations and all the like. 4-4-2 is supposedly dead yet Leicester did alright with it last season. Tactically Mourinho is arguably the best around for getting results so Im sure he has something in mind regarding the 4-2-3-1 with Pogba in it as he has already said he sees Pogba as a Scholes/Gerrard/Lampard type player. I do totally agree with you regarding Mensah and the fact currently we dont really have an ideal partner for him though. I actually think Blind isnt a bad option stop gap wise along with Carrick who still has plenty to offer I think even if it isnt week in week out. He may be past his best, but not in the same way Schweinsteiger is for example
