Sorry to ruin Pogday but this isn't going to be official until next week is it.......

no way the club pass up the opportunity for Pogba to arrive to Old Trafford by chopper and get all the exposure rather than doing a medical in the US

I'd say Monday or Tuesday
 
Shocker is he not here yet :wenger: Interesting to see how much brown stuff splats the fan when he's still not here tomorrow either :lol:
 
I never watch compilation videos but just watched this...Bloody hell!:drool:. Overrated/overpriced my arse. If not for poor/casual finishing feck knows how many assists he could have ended up with.
I noted a few things though
1. We'll need better attacking players than Darmian/Val to make something out of those cross field passes
2. His combination with Evra on that left wing was glorious, can he do that with our left backs?

@Acquire Me was ITK about this that Juve will negotiate regarding Pogba and the club has already made a bid and that, this deal will eventually be done.
All of this well in advance and a lot of people called out on him but all of his statements are eventually turning true
We said in advance, if this happens then he will be our hero and although it hasn't happened as yet but I just wanted to thank him before this thread closes

It also seems that with the Adidas video that they knew about this well in advance, which would also back Sir Aquire's claims of how he knew.

Even if the club got 100% of the cost of a shirt you would need to sell 2 million €60 shirts to make back the cost of the transfer and according to this article 2 million is the number of shirts we sold in 13/14.

http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/...-disastrous-campaign-under-david-9722715.html

Pogba would not be on the back of all shirts and we do not get 100% of the cost of the shirt so its unlikely that replica sales will have much of an impact.

Ya but as someone here mentioned, we 'make back' this money in the sponsorships we're able to negotiate. No doubt adidas were told we will make massive signings. And lo and behold, adidas new face becomes available and is the perfect fit to our team. You couldn't make this shit up. Win win for both us and adidas for years to come.

Shaw is a very good attacking LB so I think this should work. Additionally Martial will also be on this side (hopefully).
 
How do we know we get a % of shirt sales?
Aren't the paying us like £75m a year for the privalige of making our shirt? Why would they do that to not reap the vast majority of profit?

Sure let's believe Guardian and Independent over Di Marzio who has been on the ball regarding this transfer from day one.

As far as misinformation goes, weren't you the one who started the Madrid and Barcelona sponsorship threads? Have you bothered to rectify it now that it had been found that both of them were wrong infos? Sod off now.

From Di Marzios English section and this the correct translation not what you think you read using Google translate:

http://gianlucadimarzio.com/en/eng/...ogbas-transfer-to-manchester-united-released/

The fees have been worked out between Juventus and Manchester United for Paul Pogba. Pogba, who will move to the Premier League will now the player linked to the highest transfer fee of all time, about €110m. The fee to Juventus will be slightly lower than the amount reported in the last few days, as Pogba's agent Raiola's fees had to be taken into account as well. Juventus' receipt should net slightly over €100m, representing a huge payday for the Italian club who landed Pogba from United four years ago for nothing. As for Raiola's commission, that will be paid by United. All together, the gross amount of the transfer is €110m, higher than that paid for any transfer before, with final details of all the fees to be released in a few hours with a release issued by Juventus.

It's a world record deal.

We sell a pretty consistent number of shirts each year. The number of people who will buy a Pogba shirt who wouldn't normally have bought one at all will be incredibly small and our share of any profit on that number of shorts entirely inconsequential.

34% increase in shirt sales last year apparently. God knows how many we will sell if we are actually good to watch again

Di Marzio figures don't add up. The Barca figures wrong now were they? Oh please do provide me the source that shows its wrong?Let's see what they announce at their GM. Also lets see what Real announce too for their deal.
You actually remember what threads someone on a forum has started? That's special.

I could also probably go through your post history where you've been wrong more than enough times but that's got nothing do with the Pogba transfer now does it?

They get the privilege of showing their brand to 600m+ fans globally with the United badge on it, of course we are going to reap rewards from it as its our fan base they tap into. Anyway - don't worry about it , just enjoy the football - that's our job :)

The Guardian article is written by Romano, who works for Di Marzio
 
I am pretty sure its all agreed.

It frustrates the hell out of me on any transfer discussion that what the player is like as an actual player is always overlooked in favour of talking about the commercial aspect. I appreciate it is part of the game but cant we talk about goals and assists targets as opposed to shirt sales targets.

But if you cant beat them….join them…………United, Adidas and Even Pogba will be delaying it until after Zlatans debut. It’s all about exposure, dominating back pages and sports discussion. Zlatan is box office and this week end will be all about him. He’s dominate the papers today, tomorrow, Sunday and Monday. The only information might be from a post match Jose interview where he might say “we are trying to finalise things”……nothing will come out of United, Adidas or from Pogba until early next week so that we dominate media coverage all week leading up to the charity shield.

The marketing / PR department at United don’t miss a trick. Pogba signing massively overshadowing Stones to City for £50m will just be an added bonus in terms of timing too.

Barcelona announced on their website that they've renewed on the last year figures. Being wrong doesn't mean that it is spreading misinformation which you accused me off.

Please send me the link to where Barca have said that they renewed in last year's figures because I honestly can't recall ever seeing anything like that on their site with regards to the figures of the deal. I find it unbelievable that they would agree to renew without getting a sizeable increase at the very least.
 
And isn't it only a world record fee because it has itemised the agent fee whereas Ronaldo, Bale and Neymar in particular didn't?

The part with Pogba was filmed way in advance since adidas plans it's marketing campaigns not from one day to another or even in a week.

The rest was simply edited in the end and I'm pretty sure that the part with the United badge and the OT scene was originally filmed with one of our other players as the United version of the "blah blah blah" campaign – could also have been part of the Mou ad as we all know that adidas also made one with him.

As soon as adidas knew that Pogba might (sorry for using might but I'm still trying to hold my horses until official announcement) join United they simply put parts of both together to create the clip which was released yesterday. Wouldn't take too long to do this though.

But would they have done it without knowing for sure that Pogba is joining us. They would have got confirmation from us or Juventus before releasing such an ad. Otherwise wouldn't both clubs especially Juventus object to this.
 
FFS, why is it not announced yet?!? Stop dithering Woody before Zidane says he likes him, AS say his medical is cancelled, Marca run a back page story and we all lose our minds! Sarcasm, relax!
 
I miss hourly updates , i want hourly updates , give me pog updates. Don't want to spend my Friday evening scouring the internet, i want them now or before i leave work in 8 hours.

Plus we will pay Raiola too it says, that's what I've been trying to say and that's what both the guardian and the independent are both saying.

Hang on it does say that figure received by Juventus will be lower than what reports say because it Raiola fees has to be accounted.
 
KM said:
Yes it's a world record fee but doesn't it say clearly that gross amount is 110m euros which is what I said.
Click to expand...

Yes but United still have to pay Raiola's %. Also, didn't you say "So it's not even a world record after all things considered. 92m total fees with 84m to Juventus and 8m to Raiola."?

It is a world record fee after all things considered. It's 92m total to Juventus and we will pay the additional money to Raiola separately.

Nothing will be announced today or over the weekend.

Tomorrow is Ibras first game for United in SWEDEN so the club will aim to draw all the attention to him. Thus, announcing the Pogba deal would leave Ibra on the back pages and I don't think that this is what was planned and agreed between all parties.

Yes because as I understand it the Raiola money is being split by Juve and United with United paying the bigger share of it

That's what i was saying to you originally, that was a cock up on Di Marzio's part because if like he says 20% is taken out of the €110m, Juve would net €88m, not the €100m he said they would. Romano (who works for Di Marzio) wrote in the guardian that Juve would net €100m after tax and that United will be paying Raiola's agent fee of €20m on top of the gross €110m we're paying to Juve.

All in all this will be a £112m transfer is what he said iirc.

So he's receiving 10m euros from Juventus and 10m Euros from United. That makes it nearly 100m pounds.

BTW the English article on Di Marzio says clearly that United are paying a gross amount of 112m Euros.

All confusing tbf or I'm losing my mind.
 
@KM Also, the 110m does not include the bonuses. That's an additional 10m apart from the 110m as it is performance related which means Juve might not even receive it.
