Di Marzio didn't promise that though?

Miki's a punt but the two players he outperformed in the same league are "great business"?
Age wise Miki won't appreciate in value, punt is he'll hit the ground running and not be Kagawa #2. Sane is a punt on potential, Gudongan on fitness. Yes all of them are punts. I didn't say they weren't. I am just saying we could have taken other punts that are attractive ones.
Yes, I've dreamt it many times.
Don't waste your time, eventually he'll get arm ache from moving the goalposts so much and he won't be able to type any more.
He's not worth 100m
Whilst I don't care since its not my money people shouldn't kid themselves

What if we got two of those players for the price we have to pay for Pogba?
Take your Man City chat to the relevant thread! I want Pogba news!
Has he landed yet?

In fairness British press in general have been horrendous this summer. Absolute shit in fact. Although it looks like Duncan Castle is going to be the man for our information with Jose in charge.
I'll get ball ache from reading petty little posts like that first.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan is not a punt. Just because posters don't overly recognise the name or haven't seen many of his games doesn't deny the fact that he has proven his technical and goal scoring ability in a top European league and top European competitions.
How have we wasted money on Pogba? He's not even played a game yet.
He said the deal will be done with in 48 hours did he not?? And that imo is Paul Pogba at carrington and announced as a Manchester United player am I right?
If we sign him obviously. Don't be churlish.
All signings are punts to some degree. There is a degree of risk in them all.
So now we are all convinced Miki is going to be a rip roaring success are we? This place.
The most pedantic post of the year. Well done.
So if we sign him, we have already wasted the money.
Do you do this on every signing or is it just Pogba?
On the second part, I don't think that he ever said something like that.
Even if we sign him. A player is only a waste if he's played and flopped.
It's just occurred to me what act this saga actually reminds me of... a septuagenarian James Brown when I saw him at Glastonbury in 04.
It was basically about half an hour of his band banging out solid grooves, while the backing singers kept up a chorus of "Guess who's coming... everybody say James Brown... here comes the Gofather..." etc, with no sign of the man himself.
He eventually shuffled on for about 15 minutes and looked a bit like he might put his hip out every time he tried a move. I just hope Pogba is more mobile.
So the Telegraph were chatting absolute breeze then yesterday 
Sports Journalism is such a joke.

No, but Sané and an injured Gundogan are!
No, I didn't read deal done as deal announced. I'll give you that he perhaps left it a little ambiguous though.
He never said that. Complete strawman on your part there. It's you that is making extreme statements be describing him as a punt.
Literally no one has said that.
No. Mkhitaryan was done for quite a while. It took us a few days to announce he signed after Dortmund did.
He said the deal "could" be done in 48 hrs.
Up to the reader to take in whatever way they want. Some took it as "Signed pending medical". Some others "Medical done in LA, signing also done". Some others took it as "Agreement in principle is done"
A punt on Micki?
Do you even watch football? Honestly, you have some of the worst posts on this forum by far.You have to love the Caf.
Keep it up guys this is great stuff

In that case we could all be journalists!
I could issue a tweet saying that the world "could" end in 48 hours.
That's not his fault though, the deal could be done but technically United could announce it at anytime that's out of Di Marzio's hands.
No. Second part is deal official. Deal done means the clubs and the player have agreed deal in principle. Since then the payment structures and legalities have been sorted. Now signtures will be done. Then medical etc.
Yeah those friendly games matter so much. I would hope he isn't naïve enough to actually take stock in them.
You can of course. But if your tweets are not mostly right, people wont believe you. If Di Marzio starts putting nonsense more often, people will start ignoring him too.
pogba supposedly gave Drake a juve shirt. Juve fans celebrating that this means he's staying.
To those who believe that Pogba isn't worth £100M in today's market, what would you want him to do to prove his worth?
Win the PL as a top assistant? Ballon d'Or nominee within the next few years? PL Player of the Season?
Or is it a case of denying that no player is worth £100M?

The issue here is that people assumed that the deal should be done meant it would be official which was never the case. Up to that point there was no agreement yet between the clubs. What Di Marzio said was right. Within those 48 hours an agreement was reached between the clubs. Which is considered a 'done deal' unless something horribly goes wrong.

Giving away clothes he doesn't need any more?
