This signing increasingly sounds like one being done for marketing reasons rather than football reasons.

It's a beautiful marriage. Pogba's abilities + potential is enough on its own. Together, however, it becomes a beast!

It's obviously both. Why do you think he's so expensive? If we just wanted a player we could have signed Troy Deeney for about half.

You talk absolute rubbish quite frankly and have done throughout this thread.

Mourinho doesn't give a toss about how marketable he is; he wants him to be the driving force of our midfield.
 
For someone who doesn't care much about Pogba sure posts a lot in this thread. You're starting to sound like someone from RAWK/Bluemoon.
 
Jose better abandon 4-2-3-1 which is just to accommodate rooney. Paul suits to 4-3-3. Hope he doesnt do van gaal again.
Both our central midfielders were allowed to go forward during our preseason games so far. The idea of central midfielders for Jose is very different than what LVG thinks of them. Pogba can play in a midfield 2, the only way he fails is if he's given a rigid role which limits his ability to go forward and run with the ball.
 
It's always "next week" or "next few days". I know it's gonna happen, but it's like Pogba wants to miss the start of the season or something.
 
@Rory 7 defintely has an axe to grind.

Pogba would start for nearly every team in the world. He will improve our midfield without a shadow of a doubt.

Signing £25m midfielders and hoping they can step up isn't going to win us the big trophies. Jose wants winners in the team, not plod-a-long Joe Allen types.

Do you want to be the next Liverpool or the next Real Madrid?
 
If it's not completed by Friday next week then I'm retiring from this thread until it happens.
 
As long as Juve confirm it this week. At the very least, the BBC say a deal is done.

Don't think United will confirm it for a while. They will try and market him like they did with Zlatan i.e. get a video of him ready doing something stupid for a big announcement. That won't happen until gone August 6th.
 
You absolute melt

Yeah its not like he's better than all our current midfielders :lol:

Listen to yourself.

Am genuinely surprised my post about marketability provoked such a response. Wow. You guys really do love Pogba. For what it's worth i think of course he'll improve us but not to the degree to which you all think. Strange reaction guys. Particularly @StanleyCupboard and @AndyJ1985. Why did the idea that I suggested offend you both so? Amazing. You guys really do believe in this guy Pogba, I don't. No need to get abusive.
 
I really hope he never gets announced and he just strolls on to the pitch for the first game of the season.
 
It is really amazing to see how this super agents ( I would call them super greedy) affect the transfer market nowadays.
they play behind the screen so they are not targeted or blamed. I heard that the agent is demanding 20 mil for this
transfer. It seems like the agent is the one that is going to play.I personally think that football body should ban agents if possible. let the players deal directly with the club.bring some common sense regulation to the free market. Otherwise there wont be any limit and it wont be long before we start buying agents instead of players.

Players don't have the knowledge to do that, they would at the very least need some legal representation. However, yeah there should be some restrictions etc.

It's a bit tiring but the agent didn't ask 20m, Juventus owe Pogba and Raiola 20% of the transfer. And no the players shouldn't deal directly with the clubs, if for example the NFL teaches us something, it's that sports franchise/clubs owners are walking scumbags and won't hesitate to shaft anyone at the first opportunity.
 
Because what makes him special is his ability to freely run forward with and without the ball, his ability to be a threat in the last third.

Edit: Pogba would work in a 4231 with Sneijder/Kroos as a #10 and someone like Krychowiak next to him. Not with Rooney and Schneiderlin at least not from the get-go.
It'll be Carrick, not Schneiderlin.

This, I'm becoming worried he's going to miss the first few games which would piss me off. I'm going to the match against Southampton and I want to see Pogba!
