This thread needs more Photoshopping of that Pogba Raiola photo
Wow 6.1m followers and almost 200k likes in 1 hour. Didn't know he was so popular.
Just noticed Ed now
If Pogba is done after Higuian then this could go on for long.
I want to get excited too but are we really taking stuff from a photo of Pog having a good time with his agent?
It doesn't mean anything, they are both super loaded anyway despite a Utd deal.
Not trying to put a dampener on anything I promise, I just want someone to explain if they know something that I might have missed?
Or are we all on the beer like myself now?
They're on page 30 with 1195 posts, no real muppetry down there!What's the Pogba thread in the newbz looking like? Any aspiring muppets, how many posts?
Barcelona and Real Madrid rule this listStill nothing in comparison to these guys;
1 - Cristiano - 70.1m
2 - Neymar - 55.1m
3 - Messi 49.2m
4 - James Rodriquez - 24m
5 - Bale - 20.4 m
6 - Zlatan - 17 m
7 - Suarez - 15m
8 - Benzema - 14.2m
9 - David Luiz - 14m
10 - Thiago Silva - 10.1m
Before Zlatan - Rooney was our most followed with 7.2m. And imagine Rooney was the poster boy for us for year. You can see why Pogbas supposed brand is valued highly with us.
PS - Madrid are clearly very good at this social media stuff. The Madrid guys had crazy gains from December last year til now. Ronaldo went from 39m to 70, Bale from 11m to 20, Rodriguez from 16.7 to 24. Something is surely dodgy there...

It's more than shirt sales. And more than direct Pogba merchandise. It's his face on noodle packages and tire promos and all this other stuff that will help entice bigger club sponsorship fees. Rooney's career is winding down and his marketability will wind down, too. United need a new "face of the club" that sponsors are excited to put on their product. Additionally, he is a young, trendy, star. He's going to be a football star that is soon seen hanging with stars of the NFL, NBA, etc., plus the music and entertainment world. Adidas will help with that (getting he and other Adidas sponsored stars together and encouraging them to hang out), much like Nike does with Neymar. All that kind of promotion raises his profile, which in turn raises United's profile. IMHO, the value that Woodward/The Glazers see in this is 50% about his football, and 50% about aligning the United brand with the Pogba brand.It is complete tripe. Even if we were to make all the money the numbers don't stack up, not even close. A few milion is the most we could earn back. Even Messi and Ronaldo wouldn't earn it back through shirt sales.
Unless we announce Pogba first. Juventus fans feel sad and all, and then BOOM. They announce Higuain. Their fans filled with glee.
One can hope
to be fair, we weren't able to post in the mains thread. Our Sneijder thread in the newbies was rediculousLet downs, not like when @ChaddyP and I were muppeting Vidal from down there.
Whats up with you, some new party? Watch out for guys in Juventus shirts.to be fair, we weren't able to post in the mains thread. Our Sneijder thread in the newbies was rediculous
saw some one with a Manchester United shirt in the pharmacy this morning, coincidence... I think notWhats up with you, some new party? Watch out for guys in Juventus shirts.

United kits are popular there? Or not?saw some one with a Manchester United shirt in the pharmacy this morning, coincidence... I think not
Like some guys have said earlier in the thread, I would be more delighted if he signed cause I know how much it would PISS off Madrid, City,and the dippers so on and so forth.
United kits are popular there? Or not?
Yes, as long as people agree the player bought was worth the sum paid. There will always be differences of opinion on that, but people need to broadly feel it worked out. Otherwise the perception is the club was fleeced, which is counterproductive from a marketing perspective.
Even the Higuain stuff keeps rolling back. It was supposed to be tomorrow he would be a Juve player. Now it's next week. What a bore.
I think I'm at the end of my tether now. feck all has happened, and it is just dragging on. If he signs or not, I'm past the point of caring.
No not really, it's not a very pro Manchester United pharmacyUnited kits are popular there? Or not?
Thats a sign then!No not really, it's not a very pro Manchester United pharmacy
That's becasue you're up here now, all the crazed muppets have been promoted.Wow the newbs have changed since i was down there, the newbs used to be bigger muppets than the mains in my time lol.
