someone mentioned Keane.
How do you think Pogba compares to Keane....if that is even an appropriate comparison.

Paul Pogba | Undergoing Medical | Helping out the Laundry Ladies

- Start date
lol. He's talking about the forum which is in a full blown meltdown right now.
Appears nothing like him on the field. Apples and oranges. However, interms of the impact I hope he has the impact of same magnitude as Keano
So I'm in America now what's happened guys?
Been on a 12 hour flight so can someone update me please.

Point taken. I grew up with Sir Alex as United manager, it's all I'd ever known, and I absolutely idolise the man; he's a legend in every sense of the word. I just hate it when people throw around 'SAF's legacy' when they disagree with something the club is doing.
In terms of what? Transfer fees? Position wise? Ability wise?
The money spent over the last 3 years is nothing like the Fergie years
He spent big quite on certain players but was regularly outspent by premier league rivals
Pogba is in LA for a medical apparently. And Nerozzi, the reliable journo, said Pogba will be a United player on Friday.
SAF is partly to blame as he left the squad in an absolute mess. The midfield in particular was criminally neglected. Still a legend though!!!
It's a done deal.
Might be announced by Juventus tomorrow imo.
Norwood has followed Pogba on Twitter. Di Marzio has said the deal should be finalized soon.
Then the Adidas ad as well.
Considering that Pogba, Mkhitaryan and Di Maria are all strong defensively I think it would be very well balanced. Mkhitaryan and Di Maria could easily switch positions too
He was talking about the forum.
I live in Toronto and in last couple of years I don't remember us signing any player while I was alseep. Always feel like it's during our afternoon/evening time.
It's 7pm here so I am going to just assume that this will go through tomorrow morning.
Enough of refreshing this page.

Thank you for the update and thanks @RDCR07
I guess we can expect an official announcement tomorrow. Oh man, it's going to be glorious.
I got that from this, "You can’t say at the end, 'Only 11 best players will play together and let’s see what happens.'" He's basically just defending his group of players from being out of it. And he's not saying that United won't have team spirit. He's just saying that it's a factor and because it's a factor in football, the more expensive team won't automatically win.
Maybe he could have worded it better, but english isn't his first language. Or perhaps I'm wrong, but that's how I took it after reading all of his quotes.
Some of that is taken into account of course, but the sheer numbers spent wouldnt have happened under Ferguson. He had the famous "no value in the market" speech, which he surely had the copyright on judging by the amount of times he said it. And luckily for us, Alex Ferguson was so great at the art of managing a group of players, he could turn chicken shit into a chicken sarnie, so we could more than get by with what we had.
I'm certainly not complaining, mind you. The facts are, if any other sports franchise brought in the amount of money we do from sponsorships and licensing, they'd be spending much more that we currently. The idea that we've missed out on so many players is unreal. The fact we currently play in the same league as a side who bought David Silva and Sergio Aguero is shocking to me. You simply dont let the likes of those go to rival clubs. We've consistantly been in the top bracket (and a lot of times on top) of the list of biggest and most profitable sports teams in the world. We should be paying £100 million for players.
What a mess of a squad that actually won a title. It's not his fault the Glazers were only opening their pockets once we were failing.
Still can't believe we're getting Pogba!
Position, ability and influence.
Let me say I doubt we will ever see a greater footballer than Keane at United. I rate him after Best himself.
But if Pogba gets anywhere close, he is going to bring us years of success.
@FujiVice
I think Sir Alex's hands might have been a bit tied back then, but totally agree with you that we are where we should be now in the transfer market and that we should be beating our rivals to the punch now that we have such a solid financial footing.

I can't believe we let his contract run so far, should have gave him a 5 year contract on his 18th birthday
Klopp was only giving his opinion, and tbf it was reasonable. The price is silly and it doesn't guarantee United still won't end up trophyless next season. Some people here just purposefully choose to be daft I guess, he didn't say much wrong.
I think he might meant a hard worker off the ball pressing and harassing defenders(which he was before he joined us).
It's too much money, but I don't care haha. I'm afraid to be disappointed if he won't join us. I'm afraid because of the adidas commercial now. Seems like he is trolling us. This window would be amazing if he comes. 4 good players already.
Should compare the fees as a percentage of turnover at the time. There was a chart with this data doing the rounds
woah, the folks over at juventuz have become way too nasty, more so than few hours ago, the realization is coming to them harder and harder 
And by the way who did register over there as "ForEvraRed", challenged them then got himself banned as soon as possible after they were all screaming to their mods to ban him? That guy was entertaining to read while refuting those lots silly and hypocritical claims

Yea Romano has his feet firmly under the table in the Guardian now
Perhaps "strong" anything, lad's a bit of a soft fanny.
Earlier this season I predicted Pogba to City as the most obvious transfer of the summer.
Could not be more delighted to be wrong.

love it "ForEvraRed"
Messi would't ''guarantee'' a trophy next season but if we signed him our chances would go through the roof. Nothing but sour grapes from Klopp, who knows he's at a club that can't fish in the big pond. The price isn't silly at all, when you consider the likes of Stones and Higuain are going for 50/75m.
If I get banned tomorrow I just wanted to say thank you to everyone that has stuck through the Pogba deal and those that have contributed a lot in this thread to update details on the deal. I have had my doubts at times, so I'm not a saint. But what a wonderful fecking transfer window we've had. Great one guys!
He would buy Mascherano. He has said so himself.
Never seen such a deluded bunch than those on the Juve forum. Imagine supporting a team who got relegated for match fixing and now just dicks that utterly dreadful Italian league?
Pogba makes a huge step up to a much bigger club and better league. EL is for one year. It will take more than that to sort out Italian football.

Keane mentioned we were in for Zidane.
Money was the issue.
"remember that from way back"
How come no one talks about the Adidas ad? Just seen it and it all but confirms that we got him.
Any chance of this getting announced at like 2am like the Romero deal? Imagine the scenes
