Just seen that 28 min video. Very impressive. Didn't know he was a dead ball specialist. He loves that Hollywood pass out to the right wing too. Some great flicks and feints and shimmies. Good vision. He has good pace too.

The only negative I can see is that at times when he sticks his leg out to nick the ball he leaves himself a bit open to getting injured. It's obviously part of his game to draw an opposition player in then nick it past him or toe end the ball to a team mate. If he comes up against some meathead with bad timing he's at risk.

Can't wait for the official announcement. :)

That video also showed that Pogba should have had a crap load more assists than he ended with. Really astonishing his foot work.

Those Juve strikers squandered a lot of his good work.
 
@VanGaalEra just finished watching that 28 min vid it really does sum him up as a player. Was nice to see they avoided the actual goals and assists till later on aswell so you can see just how many chances he creates. Going to be a special player for us these coming seasons that's for sure! Hope to see all my fellow pogba muppets over at my draft match tomorrow. Pogba has his own special write up and it will be a chance for you all to watch that 28 min video again!

You can "understand" the general idea but at the end, there are some differences. You need to have a creative mind to guess that this word means this...

For example, when you take the Squadra Azzura in Italian, the first word for the team is closer to the English squad, but Azzura is closer to anything azur (blue) in French, though it's just a color not often used in its adjective form in French.

As a French, I can often read Italian newspapers, especially sports news :).
It's harder for Spanish newspapers and definitely not possible for Portuguese.
I know people say Spanish should be easy for me but for some reason, I don't really get what they're saying.

As a "lose" German speaker I can follow a bit Dutch and when I read Swedish, I recognize some words. But still hard.

I am also Korean by ethnicity and there, it's really not useful cause I can't really understand any of the Japanese or Chinese "natively".
When you write in Chinese characters, you can "understand" based on the meaning but not pronounce it.
When I "hear" some of the Japanese words, they make sense to me based on the Korean (and the Japanese colonization era which introduced some of their words in the language).

It's a complicated world but I suppose knowing a lot of language should be a fantastic way to get to know people, and discuss!

Wow must be brilliant to have understanding of all those languages. I can speak Punjabi, Hindi and Urdu as they are very similar, and believe it or not when I go to Dubai (few times a year) the Urdu comes in handy as being of Indian origin they don't want to speak English with me.

I wonder how Ravel Morrison feels about seeing his ex-team mate at OT on that salary. If only he could wise or grow up !!

If he grows up and starts playing to his potential , we might need another £ 100 million to bring him back, if he plays to his potential he is better than Pogba

Yep.

Also, that last third of the video shows his tackles. I was thinking that a lot of those tackles would be blown up by the ref's in the BPL. It's a pity because most look legit but the BPL ref's do seem to blow the whistle for pretty much anything worse than a shoulder charge, and even then.

The french word for squadra is escouade and it comes from the italian. And squad probably comes from the french "escouade".

Not to derail but is that even a remote possibility anymore? Such a shame, thought he was actually on his way to turning it around after that brief time he caught the eye at West Ham.
 
A great time to be a united fan. After all the downs we've had post Fergie retirement this was needed badly. Pogba is an incredible player. I still can't get my head round how good he is yet we let him go for peanuts. I honestly never thought he would be as good as he is when he was previously with us. The way he dribbles so smoothly and eases past players yet he is so tall is frightening. I can just imagine him skipping past your average prem midfielder week in week out. Then his shooting range is amazing as well - volleys, free kicks, side foots etc he has it all.

Nothing but positivity about this signing. Forget what bitter pundits or rival fans say, this is a massive statement of intent from the club. I hope United fans enjoy the following season. We deserve it!

I agree. I find Spanish much easier to understand than Italian. Not totally of course but easier. I also have an Italian sister-in-law so I know what I am talking about that Italian is really a lot different. Of course you catch one word or another and can relate it.

French however is really different. There really might but a word you catch that is similar but I would say 99% boggles my mind. Learning French from English was easier. As I said I speak Afrikaans too so I understand a bit of Dutch and even less of German and can sometime make out what my German friends on The Division are talking about, although I do know a few German words that I learnt via different media.

I generally try to learn how to say a few basic things in various languages to help in my travels. Things like Hello, Food, Thank you, how much, do you speak English etc. and have learnt those few words for Thai, Dutch, German, French, Italian and Spanish.
 
What's with people on twitter replying to people and calling them dad. Am I missing something there?
 
I love it. A superstar in his prime in a United shirt again. Milk every last drop :drool::drool::drool:
