According to MR.Mujac he counts as home grown player.
I think he missed it by a few months.
Why? He was an academy graduate?
According to fm he is homegrown.
Today is the day...I hope.
Where has he said that? Unlike him to be wrong on youth stuff
To be homegrown a player must be registered for 36 months prior to his 21st birthday, Pogba missed it by like 3 months.
And according to Phil Neville he was here when he was 13. Doesn't make right.
Not sure if months are counted or just number of seasons. I asked MR.Mujac on Twitter, he said Pogba will count as home grown player.
Not sure though.
Didnt spend 3 seasons with us , which i think is the criteria for foreign players.
So, assuming we sign him during this weekend at some point, how long until he is in any shape to play? Considering none of our players have got through 90 minutes in any publicly viewed friendly, at what stage do we think we will see our full strength side on the pitch? September?
I think Pogba will need a couple of weeks training to catch up with his new teammates, and a couple of outings for the U21s (Leicester on the 15th for sure, likely Southampton on the 22nd too). He could be ready to debut against Hull on August the 27th, perhaps. What do you guys think?
I am a little concerned that we start against Leicester, Bournemouth, Southampton, Hull - teams that have had many fewer players away on international football, teams that have had more time to prepare, more fitness work and more matches in preseason. A slow start would pile even more pressure upon Pogba during a tricky spell of fixtures.

He did. His employer said he could have 4 weeks.
Le Havre registered a complaint about our signing of him, so although we basically signed him in July 2009 he wasnt registered until October, so when he left in July 2012 he hasn't made the 36 months.
Unless @Mr. MUJAC can correct me, he knows his stuff.
Stop fecking replying to off topic posts
Pogba's holiday is a special case. He played up till final with france, so it's only fair he got longer holiday. In fact it's not even longer, just started on a later date.
Out of interest, does any other France / portugal nt players got an extended holiday? Or was it just pogba?

Interesting, will see if he replies to my post above, I'm curious now.
Ussually i trust fm. Not that they're itk or anything, but computer seldom got it wrong. At least for dates and rules
I'd be stunned if he could be classed as home-grown.
People who derail threads like this with completely irrelevant discussions and arguments are the worst.
Just shut up.
Just shut up.
I think the rule is that they have to either spend 3 seasons or 3 years prior to their 21st birthday.
Ah, okay. Thanks.
Really? Wow. That's a mad rule. Not exactly home-grown is it?
He counts as homegrown on FM16 and they generally get these things right.
He is a home grown player.
On what basis?
Yeah. Not sure whether they will consider 36 months like you said or just 3 seasons.
IIRC Ronaldo was home grown player but he didn't spend 36 months before his 21st bday in pl.
It's pretty amusing that Pogba is still considered our homegrown player, given everything that's happened.
Two more years and they could get a British passport.
So Pogba is officially a home-grown United player. We are potentially going to spend £100m on buying back a home-grown United player. This has to be a first in world football. For a club to break a transfer record to buy back a 'home-grown' talent.
I didn't hear anything "official". Sorry, I don't have a link as this was on SSN HQ. The implication was lawyers were talking in Manchester, but that could just have been my desperate interpretation. I can't find a link on their transfer central web page, but this was definitely the head line from the transfer central reporter.
I'm surprised 21 is the cut-off. Surely 18 should be the threshold. That is to say if with a club for 3 years before the age of 18. Why 21? It seems a bit arbitrary given he could vote from 18!
I guess its UEFA/FIFA structures - e.g. the under 21 championships etc.
Probably something that won't happen for a long long time.
According to the rules:
He wasn't registered for either of those time periods.
He wasn't registered for either of those time periods.
Probably never again!
Forget homegrown. This is world's record transfer
Doesn't need to be registered if he was at the club from 16. According to FM when I bought him back he was considered as a youth product.
It is. But don't you think the home-grown aspect makes it really unique. I mean obviously, if we were in the CL its important to have home-grown. But the fact that we are breaking a world record to buy back an officially 'home-grown' player is very very unique. 'He's One Of Our Own, He's One Of Our Own. 100m quid. And he's One Of Our Own.'
The homegrown rules say nothing about that.Doesn't need to be registered if he was at the club from 16. According to FM when I bought him back he was considered as a youth product.
