I see us chasing Griezmann like crazy next year personally. Another season like he's just had would push him close to Neymar and Suarez in terms of standing. Can't see him going RM, Barcelona couldn't offer him a guaranteed spot without selling so only Bayern to really compete with us and they don't make many astronomical priced signings. In this country Chelski and city would be interested. But he's a supposed United fan so if we look to be heading back to the top I reckon he'd come.

Bayern up there too tbf
Moratta saying we haven't made any contact regarding Pogba,so i guess all the news was made up.
Zlatan - he could have gone literally anywhere, including signing with PSG. He signed a year's contract to United with no CL this year.
Mikhi - I don't know if he had other suitors but at least Dortmund were strongly willing to keep him. Considering Dortmund are at least two tiers above us in current football position, this is a remarkable coup.
Pogba - Its clear that Real Madrid, and Man City were after him this window, apart from us. Also Pogba had the option of staying at Juventus and also wait a year or two possibly for Barcelona who were in for him the last transfer window. With us able to (likely) beat such elite competition when we don't even have CL to offer currently is a massive statement of our power.
Sure, our money, and manager played an important role in these signings, but those are also aspects expected of a big club.
They have often made the right signings but, they have not made the huge marquee signings outside of Germany.
Of course he'll say that.
And in all likelihood Raiola is brokering the deal anyways.
Someone else from Juventus came out earlier and said he couldn't comment on the Pogba situation.
I think Moratta also said nothing has changed and he expect Pogba to stay.I think the deal is still in the balance.
Marotta said this about Pjanic to Juve six days ago:
Where is Pjanic now? OH right
Marotta talks absolute BS constantly.Good shout
Is it going to happen today?
I'm getting tired of that potential bullshit. Pogba is one of the best, if not the best midfielder in the world. The club isn't paying a lot money for some random promise. We're paying for someone with a lot of experience in Europe and who already won a lot trophies and individual awards.
Hope so
Verrati must be a consideration (not saying PSG will sell) but with Bastian and Carrick coming to the end of their careers it will be a gap we need to fill. Plus we would have Zlatan potentially here for his second and most probably last season and if you are going to entice Verrati then better doing it when Zlatan is here due to his supposed close relationship with him. (All hearsay of course) imagine Verrati and Pogba in our midfield (that's the thing about having big named players it attracts other players to the club) so wish we had kept Di Maria also.
If Pogba signs for the price the media is quoting, we could have signed Fellani, Hererra, Schiniderlin, Schwienstiger, Memphis and Blind for the same price. To be fair, I'd swap them all for one Paul Pogba.
People complaining about the price should look at what it gets you when you break it down. Liverpool are being quoted £20m for Winaljdum.
And to be honest, if it keeps another player out of Madrid or Barcelonea's hands then I'd gladly pay £200m for him.

So Sid Lowe is making excuses for Real Madrid and Barca in his latest article. Apparently they are so well-stocked with galacticos that there just isn't room for any more.
If we compare to the crappy deals (like 40M for Luiz and 50M for Sterling), then of course it is going to look very cheap
Marotta said this about Pjanic to Juve six days ago:

tbf he also said that he wont sell us a virus. Which would be correct since they are going to sell us Pogba instead
I know of only one thing in this life, and that is that we must get Poga no matter the price.
100% agree with that.
Yeah I'd definitely be chucking a few flirtatious looks his way over the course of this season. We should only need a couple of players next season (I've said this for the last 3 though) to be right up there again so if the possibility was there I think we could do it.
No chance in hell we can lure Veratti. PSG will laugh at any offer we present them. Think if he does leave it'll be to Barca in a few years of his own will.
Unless Veratti is desperate to leave or their owners lose interest they will tell us to eff off like they did with Real. They do not need the money.
I think today is the day lads when we will get an announcement. Happy Pog Day.
Can see this taking 2-3 days more like Castles said. But we have already bagged him so I can be patient.
His brother spent all the Euro's eith him. By all accounts, they are good friends. Like fans, players are just as interested in the rumours. Difference? Griezmann can ring/text his pal and what the dealio is! So, his brother has better chance of knowing what's happening, more than any ITK on Twitter or any other social media!
I am half thinking that Pogba will be holding a shirt with "Acquire me" on it.
Actually now that I look back at the picture of Jose's fuzzy tactics board... OMG it was @Acquire Me's name all along!
Hey Sunshine, can you do one with him searching the city for all 4 signings? Not sure if there is suitable footage but it would be epic!
@Olly And now this thread is complete!
Nothing will happen today. The clubs aren't even in 100% agreement yet. I can guarantee that nothing official won't happen until next week because it never happens in weekends.
Weren't Ibra and Mkh announced on the weekend?
Along with Scheniderlin and Schweinsteiger last year?
Really? Huh, never noticed that. Anyway it won't happen today. They need to finalize the deal first.
Edit: Ibra and Miki happened on a friday and wednesday respectively.
And Schweinsteiger/Schneiderlin happened on a monday.

What happened?
i don't think anything official from MUFC will come out today. I'd imagine Di Marzio will have another update though basically stating it's done or it isn't.
New home shirt launched Saturday, so I'm guessing a big push from Ed to get this announced Friday!
So no, none of them happened in a weekend. Don't think I've ever seen a player being officially revealed on a weekend.
It's Thursday
Yes it can happen tomorrow but I highly doubt that.
I just hope not when I'm sleeping, muppet rule points to no sleep for me I guess.
Friday counts as the weekend for me
But yeah I thought the others were on the weekend. My mistake.
Your opinion is your opinion. It could happen today, tomorrow...why not? The reality is no one knows what percent is left to do - and 24 hrs is a long time...never mind 2 days.
