Paul Pogba | Undergoing Medical | Helping out the Laundry Ladies

But Adidas ARE getting the majority of the shirt sales... That doesn't mean we get none of it. We get a small minority, they get the rest.

Without knowing the details of the deal, it seems unlikely that we'll get all £100m back in shirt sales.

But from a commercial perspective, it's about far more than just shirt sales. How many new commercial deals will United secure on the back of Pogba? My guess is a lot.

Martin Samuel

Reliable?

Juventus got rid of the stripes? terrible idea

I heard Raiola took the stripes to himself in the Pogba deal. It's their 3rd kit.

 

[Brocky]

Any word from the Juve presser, or whatever it was their Twitter account mentioned?

Not yet.

So far just Dybala talking about being in good shape and being happy welcoming Higuain to Juve.

About BFS, but mentions we are close on Pogba. If the BBC say we are close, expect this to be wrapped up quite soon.

Presser stuff showing up on Juve twitter now.

You're right, we won't get anything close to that money back. It shouldn't even be part of the discussion, that's how wide of the mark the claim is. It's just some myth that keeps popping up. But yes, he's very marketable. Just repeating ourselves here though. Pogba, his marketability, the price, his age/potential, his position etc etc has been discussed to death.

 

[Hans Moleman]

Can't we at least try sometimes to mix it up?

 

[Slops]

Is The Telegraph determined?

 

[Kill 'em all]

This is torture! Just announce it.

Is Martin Samuel unimpeachable?

There you go

Is Martin Samuel unimpeachable?

Or high principled?

 

[Pexbo]

Presser over - nothing on Pogba.

 

[DatIrishFella]

This like that one time Jesus got resurrected.

 

[Nate Dogg]

I don't expect much to happen until later this afternoon\evening.

Martin Samuel

Pogba had a medical in Los Angeles after his recent holiday in Florida before signing a five-year contract worth £290,000 a week.

Ah, so that's what he was doing on Route 66.

Seems a bit tight of us not to have paid for him to fly.

 

[Tarrou]

Would it be a bit strange to announce the deal with Pogba still on holiday? Don't we usually wait for them to come back to do all the media stuff?

 

[izec]

So his wages are before tax? Remember when some people really believed we would pay him 300k after tax or soemthing ridculous

 

[WPMUFC]

far out, the deal isn't officially announced and the telegraph already have a story

For £100m it would take something extraordinary to avoid failure at Manchester United

DON'T link to it. But this is the BS we are getting even before confirming players now.

 

[Classical Mechanic]

Turned down Man City last season

 

[RedStarUnited]

Turned down Man City last season

And Chelsea too. Raiola said he wanted him to go Chelsea last year but Pogba said he wanted one more year at Juve.

 

[Brocky]

Presser over - nothing on Pogba.

So nobody even asked the question? They've briefed the journo's to not ask anything beforehand. It's so ON!

 

[PlayerOne]

And people say he's only coming here for the money

 

[Mr. Meeseeks]

People underestimate the effect of having one superstar in football

When I grew up I idolized Beckham, and he happens to play for United. Long after Beckham retires I'm still a United fans. So don't underestimate the effect of having one Pogba to our fan base in the grand scheme of things.

I may not bought a Beckham shirt at that time due to being a schoolboy, but I'm 35 years now and over the years I have contributed to the United brand. Now imagine how many people will start following United due to their favorite player joining us, and once you're converted it'll last a lifetime.

I was obsessed with Paul Scholes when I was 8 and fell in love with the club as a result. Now United will always be part of my life as long as I live.

 

[Cityfaninpeace]

Congratulations on Pogba, great signing, and strengthened an area you really needed.

It'll be the same old hyperbole coming from the British media once he's announced. It happened with Martial too. Knob heads in the media desperate to be the first to predict we'll fail. I'm sure the likes of Jamie Redknapp, Phil Thompson, and Grame Souness can't wait to give their unbiased opinions.

How are some of you even questioning if it's on

Adidas released Juventus advert without their most marketable player by an absolute mile and then put him in a Manchester United advert

Some of you are still worrying, incredible.

Simon Stone is the guy who covers United for the BBC. He is in China right now, so maybe thats why BBC are not saying anything yet. He hasnt confirmed it with his sources yet.

You'd think the Pogba thing would be the headline rather than being hidden away in another article.

 

[JohnnyKills]

Onda Cero just said the Pogba deal will be announced in a matter of hours. Guess this is nothing new though.

 

[OnlyTwoDaSilvas]

On a scale of 1 to Ron Atkinson, how racist has Juventuz been this morning?

 

[red thru&thru]

Congratulations on Pogba, great signing, and strengthened an area you really needed.

Cheers.

Manchester will be back next year.

 

[2mufc0]

So when are the 48 hours up?

 

[Shakesy]

POGOFF!!!

(To Man Utd)

Great, I just wasted one of my five posts on a bad joke...

 

[Sparky Rhiwabon]

So when are the 48 hours up?

I think we can assume that if its not announced by the end of today, that was bollocks and we are back to square one. But I'm sure it will be.
