Pogba is coming but the fuss made out of the likes of Chevrolet following him on Twitter is idiotic in the extreme. As if Chevrolet's social media team have an inside track on the deal... get a grip ffs and actually try to use the thing inside your head called a brain.

Chevy will know more than you think. Being a major sponsor they will be told for future marketing promos etc.

Why would a car manufacturer, which happens to be one of our major sponsors follow a high profile footballer amidst a high profile transfer saga involving us? I think what would be idiotic is for their media team to do so without reason. One would think a major plc would be more media savvy than that.

MUTV should do one of those documentaries about the players that kept Pogba out (Ando, Giggs, Cleverley, Fletcher) and were they are now

Fletcher was ill for most of the 2011-12 season so he wasn't exactly keeping Pogba out of the side.

Chevrolet also follow Neymar, Bale and Ronaldo. We're not signing any of them soon. Don't read too much into them following Pogba.

But they aren't. The twitter guys job is to get twitter followers and retweets with the company name on. The exception to that if they say something so dangerous or damaging the company image that it ends up becoming a PR problem. Following Pogba, even for no valid commercial reason, isn't a PR problem.

Of course if Pogba's wife/girlfriend/boyfriend/mother/cat start following Coleen Rooney that would be an entirely different matter.
 
Now, in terms of the league title, and in respect of LvG and the funny moments he gave us. WE GO FOR IT! What a transfer window so far.
 
It's just gone 8.30. We must be due some muppet-deflating gossip from AS right about now. Something totally ridiculous to match their agenda up to now. "Pogba wipes arse with United shirt whilst high fiving Perez". Any minute now.
 
Do people think he genuinely has a passion for the club (after all, no CL etc.) or that he's a massive money grabber? I have to say that I can't see any real reason for him to return to us apart from really, really wanting to. He could definitely get the money elsewhere.

Actually I think we are offering him the highest wages from clubs reportedly interested in Pogba the past year or so.

Whether he signs or not it's generated a lot of attention for them. So it would be pretty smart of them to do it.

One of the earliest reports from L'Equipe, which Sport Witness found an interesting tidbit, was the journo that interviewed pogba before the euro's wrote an article on our pogba chase, and in said article claimed pogba was interested in Jose's project and wanted to "complete the circle" by returning to MUFC.

This was WAAAAY back at the beginning of the saga. I think it's a passion for the club, but we greased the wheels by dumping money on him

What say a mammoth asteroid hits planet earth the moment he signs on the dotted line? Unlikely, so let's stay positive. I'm more worried about my bottom right now.

Have you got a Twitter source for this alleged asteroid?

Meanwhile AS report that Real Madrid continue to work "subtly" on signing Pogba, but won't pay out the money being asked by Juve or Raiola. A subtle and cunning plan is the minimum requirement I would think.

We need Baldrick to help with negotiations. No tweets related to an astroid. I'll create a false account. They go down well on here

Ando seemed so good then.... I mean, he was actually one player who could run with the ball and we didn't have that kind of player for a very long time. Strange how he faded away.... Still have a soft corner for him and I don't know where he is right now but I really hope that he does good

Ronaldinho is still for me the most skillful player of this generation. I know Ronaldo, Kaka and Zidane were amazing and had wonderful output but skill wise no one matched him

Very true. Anyway, now we look forward to Pogba :drool:

I find the best plan to succeed in any purchase is to refuse to meet any of the demands.

Yeah. That happened and I also thought, 'Hey, didn't Raiola say blah, blah, blah!' about Pogba joining us and yet Adidas say "Ignore the blah, blah, blah!" That tweaked my interest. Then Pogba's photo, then Steve Bartram following Pogba then Chevy following Pogba. All the news agencies and twitter hacks just followed after that. It was beautiful.

People.missed his last few tweets, the pool with Raiola red did as shorts with the post saying g we say it all by saying nothing at all, that was when I knew he was coming. Even the alligator boat b post had red, and when he goes to pick Griezeman, he wearing Adidas shorts with red stripe and redish cap.
 
The Pogba instagram photo was the final nail in the coffin for me.

Nobody would do that with all the eyes looking at him for little clues. Purposely highlighting red amongst a grey background is more than a subtle hint IMO.

IF he wasn't joining and wanted to go to Madrid, that would be a PR disaster.

Not yet dude.
I just checked on BBC sport website and nothing....absolutely nothing about Pogba.

I've spoken and listened to Di Marzio. He's 3 out of 4 with us this summer and will make it 100% with Pogs.
