People have very different ideas on what constitutes 'world class', you're never going to come to a consensus.
Paul Pogba | Undergoing Medical | Helping out the Laundry Ladies
- Thread starter KM
- Start date
Everyone's definition of World Class is dfferent. I reserve it for the top two or three in that position. In any case, we have a quality team for right now, with even better future prospects.
Although i am not happy with the deal, there's no doubt that on paper United look to have the best squad with a proper blend of youth and experience. Very good pace as well. Hope this works out for all parties.I hope Pogba (if he does come to United) enjoys it at United and helps United win the league in the coming season.
You could put him under Formerly Allegedly World Class section.
Formerly Allegedly Potentially World Class
I'd say Pogba still qualifies then, Zlatan not anymore
Agree with most of this. But Mkhi is already very good. If he replicates his form this season, I'll class him under world class.
Buppa Goal = Paul Pogba
Even better. World Class title gets thrown about like confetti. If some players are world class then it actually isn't a high standard. Not that many true world class players about.Formerly Allegedly Potentially World Class
That's a bit harsh. Rooney wasn't even in the lineup.
He was World class
This deal was the real reason why we didn't sign Renato Sanches.
Can someone photoshop that infamous picture of zidane walking past the World Cup after getting sent off against Italy and replace the cup with a miniature Paul Pogba?
Richard keys was right all along.
van Gaal was the reason we didn't sign Sanches.
Yeah I agree, just trying to keep my expectations low as different league, not in preferred position etc.
He looked world class in spells. To streaky to be truly world class for me.
So who's duty will it be to officially announce the signing. Our twitter page?
I'm on it
Great too see that this is as good as done
Don't want to sound greedy, but I really hope the club are actually going to announce this a little faster than they did with the Mkhitaryan deal.

If I had to guess, Pogba going to LA is for some marketing event or other (though they certainly could include the medical while he's out there). Lots of reasons Adidas could want him out there, especially if they're launching these new ads.
I doubt we'd fly him all the way to LA for a medical. It's not like we wouldn't have contacts in Florida. The owners live in Florida, and even own another professional sports team in Florida. I would think that top of the line doctors and facilities would be at our disposal for a medical without putting him on a plane for 5 hours.
The Route 66 comment with that photo might make more sense now, however, as Route 66 ends in Santa Monica (just outside of LA). It's nowhere near Miami, so that was odd, unless it was referencing him wearing the #6, as some suspected.

Personally Id like Jose to post ANNOUNCE POGBA on Instagram
Assuming he does sign, which position/ formation could we use to fit him in to get him at his most effective?
They will be the last to announce it, as per usual.
Agree. Played somewhere close to world class level till 2011/12. He has been mediocre for 4 seasons now.
One thing Jose likes from his attacking players, he wants them to show efficiency and hurt teams in the final third, yes he will ask them to work hard and when to be defensive, but he wants his attacking players to show potency in the final third. I still hope he gives the likes of morgan a fair chance, because he could be a huge player for mourinho, with the likes of carrick and bastian not good enough week in week out, would love to see how morgan, herrera, martial, memphis etc etc do under united because allot of them were short changed under VG. I still hope Jose goes with a 433 of morgan, herrera, pogba if he signs, Mkhtaryan, martial and zlaten, or even rashford leading the line sometimes
Pogba to United is fappening, faptastic news !
How is Di Marzio so good? I get it's easy to only post certainties to avoid being a bullshitter but that's only half of it, how is he so in the loop?
The years he scored 34 goals I'd class him as World class. He just never looked the same since then. But no team would of turned him down in that period
It looks better in FIFA
Zlatan, Pogba and Smalling faster than Shaw? Do EA watch football? Shaw is lightning.
Have they programmed him to still have a broken leg?
Good network of contacts, heard someone saying he pays his sources well too
A good team on paper before, but can't pretend it ever looked this good!
For starters, we only had 2 strikers last year, a clearly downward spiral Rooney, and a pretty unknown teen! Hardly an Ibrahimovic. Not to mention a close 100m man!
Thanks for the prompt reply. And they have DEFINITELY succeeded!
don't even bother, just delete the fool
All successful journos have connections and contacts - often anonymous sources within clubs who they have forged friendships with, who feed them information informally, which journos then use as the framework of their articles.
It's because they're all special cards, where as Shaw is standard. God knows why Xeno didn't just use standard cards!
