I really love how off topic some threads can go :lol:
 
Why shouldn't we be optimistic? United will do business either way but this is going to drag on and be full of twists and turns. We've no real concerns and even though we took Sir Alex's retiring to heart, you would think that mind feck will soon be at an end and Ed will come with cheque book in hand and we promise it won't bounce :)
 
Is there a reason why everyone thinks that Pogba is the fourth player Jose mentioned? It would be a great signing but it feels less realistic than many other potential signings

Because Pogba's the only other player who we've heavily been linked to. Some people believe that Number 4 is Matuidi, but as of right now, we're linked with Pogba the most.
 
Hasn't it been confirmed we are in talks with Pogba by a respected ITK on here?
 
For what it's worth, @Acquire Me has said we are after Pogba. He was spot on with regards to Mourinho when many of us (read: me) were panicking about the possibility of him not coming. He said so a month or two before he actually arrived, if I remember correctly. So I think we are interested, but that doesn't mean he will actually come. He also said that this summer would be a great for us in transfer terms, or something along those lines, and so far so good: Zlatan, Bailly and Mkhitaryan.
 
Zidane headbutted an old lady in a cutaway in Family guy so obviously he is more famous than Giggs.


Hope we sign Pogba.

Homer Simpson mentioned Giggs in an episode though. Simpsons > Family Guy.
 
ANNOUNCE POGBA!!!!!!!!!

Can't wait for the euros to end so we can sort this deal one way or the other

That hardly means anything.

How many links were there for Bailly and Mkhi ? Practically zero before one was announced and the other had his name on United shirt released prematurely.

Mkhi was linked quite a few times actually, albeit quite fast between it happening/revealed.
 
So Zidane has 10 million hits on his managerial career and Giggs has none related to his off-the pitch behaviour and speculations about his coaching role in Man United?

It isn't daft, if anything is daft it's saying that Giggs is as well-known as Zidane. The better comparison would be Beckham, who, despite being an inferior player, is probably better known than Zidane. But Zidane is one of the most famous and marketable football players in history - today it would probably be Pele, Maradona, Zidane, L. Ronaldo, Beckham, Messi and Cristiano.

Giggs had a short spell of fame in the 90's (take reebok ads for example), but he was very soon outshined by Beckham and he never was the marketing face of the team again - after Beckham's departure Rooney and Cristiano stepped up.

If we count his underwhelming international record (not his fault obviously) and the fact that Zidane showed his very best at the Euros and World Cups, we'll see a clearer picture. Most of the World's population doesn't watch or care about the club football, international tournaments are still by far the most popular things in football - and while Giggs never even participated, Zidane won everything and ended his career with a ridiculous Hollywood ending
No Best?
 
I'm a muppet with most deals, its just these mega deals that i can't muster any muppetry over.
But i suppose we will pull one of these deals off at some point, the laws of averages have to come into play at some point!.
The roller-coaster ride of muppetry for these megadeals and megastars is the best. So, I suggest you to shed your inhibition & join the fellow mupperts in this mass orgy of shameless muppetry. :drool:
 
I hope that @Acquire Me is both a genuine source of transfer information and on the complete wind up and getting lucky with his predictions in equal measure.

Whichever turns out to be true, he's a legend in my eyes.
 
The fact he's mates with Lingard and Memphis surely plays in our favour? I know it's not a massive factor by any stretch, but can't hurt that he has a few friends at the club.

The main sticking point is whether Juve will sell, I reckon. If Madrid were after him we'd surely be hearing a lot about it in the media by now.
 
I don't like these rumours about Kroos possibly interested in going to city. I think our chances at getting Pogba hinge on Madrid not wanting him but with the sale of Morata and Kroos then I cant see any other option but Madrid going for him. I'm a weary muppet today, hope I'm just distorting things.
 
I read that Chelsea are getting close to signing Morata, the main obstacle being the fee Madrid would demand for him. If Chelsea pick up Morata would that not give Madrid the extra funds to purchase Pogba, which then opens the door for Kroos to City as I've read the Kroos respects Guardiola a lot. I'm starting to fear that the Morata signing would cause a domino effect not only harming our chances of signing Pogba (assuming there ever was any chance we could get him) but also strengthening the competion.

I hope the people in charge at United really try to push this signing through as fast as they can because if Madrid make any significant funds (even selling Rodriguez to PSG) might make them feel more financially confident to sign Pogba for a record fee.

Jesus have a bit of faith the phobia of Madrid is hilarious :lol:
 
mutv commentator has just said, maybe italy should watch out
 
Everyone on Mutv looks like they're in the the know that something is happening behind the scenes, cheeky smiles on their faces everytime the subject comes up, usually people like Macari are far more reserved, certainly starting to believe we're trying behind the scenes to get this done.
 
I think this is further along than we think, just by the way people involved with the club are talking. Maybe its totally wishful thinking, but they all seem a little smug.

I admire your positive outlook, man. If we were in the pub I'd happily buy you a pint.
