It's pretty much confirmed then. We're signing Paul fecking Pogba. My only worry is who will partner him, nobody aside from a 35 year old Carrick is standing out. I personally think we should cut Herrera loose and bring in someone else.

He's flattered to deceive so far but was very good against Everton and seems to be part of Mourinho's plans.
 
"You are right I don't like to speak about other clubs," he added. "I don't like to speak about players from other clubs, other managers like to do that, they like to speak about my club and my players, I'm very pragmatic on this.

"The only thing that matters for me is what's happening in my house, not my neighbours's. Pogba is a Juventus player and until officially he isn't, we stay like this."

So Mourinho has all but confirmed Pogba will sign for us, i expect this will be announced on Monday.
 
We are going to sign a very good midfielder, if he doesn't sign Pogba now then surely Mourinho is the king of trolling. Imagine we will now end up signing Matuidi or Lassana Diarra :lol:
 
Of all the various opinions about the "quality" or whatever of a thread on an internet forum that get thrown around, requests for locks are always the ones that confuse me most. You can just ignore it, you know.
No, because i actually want to know when something happens. I see 50 new pages since i last checked and presume something may have happened. I then find 50 pages of attention seeking drivel with a sole purpose of making '1000 pages ' as if that is interesting or important.

The thread is to discuss the pogba transfer. That's been done ad infinitum, there is nothing more to discuss until something emerges. The mods can lock the thread and post when news occurrs.
 
Encouraging quotes. Monday then I take it?
 
I think monday or tuesday seems the safest bet.

These things usually don't get announced in the weekend do they ?

There would be no point in him going back to Turin to train individually or with the youth team if he's going to be sold.

I think Juventus will announce he is leaving before/on Sunday
 
Now the only surprise would be if the big signing is, for some reason, not Pogba... but at that point, that's no more an option, isn't it? Isn't it? :smirk:
 
'48 hours' again...but this time from the boss. I'll take it!

Did he say 48 hours? I thought he said in the next few days which lines up with what he said before that we will sign the fourth player before the season starts.
The new bit is confirmation that it is a very good midfielder and his statement on Pogba is much more positive.
 
With Schweinsteiger apparently on his way out, why would you cut Herrera loose as well. What do you know about our current midfielders that Mourinho doesn't ?

Nothing, just offering my two cents. I don't think that aside from Carrick who clearly can't play every game, Pogba doesn't have a partner suitable for bringing out the best in him if we're playing a 4-2-3-1. In order for Pogba to play a box to box role, he will need somebody who is defensively disciplined next to him. Herrera is not that player for me.
 
Just seen the Mourinho quotes, very encouraging. I'd guess this'll be announced Sunday to create hype before/after the CS, or Monday. Hallelujah!

We have:
Schneiderlin
Herrera
Carrick
Blind
Fosu-Mensah
(Schweinsteiger)
(Rooney)

Jose made clear that he doesn't plan with the last two (in CM at least..).
The remaining 5 players have to fight for that one position and all of them have either enough experience OR potential for that role.
Whoever forms the best partnership with Pogba will get that job.

The one that beats out those 4 competitors must be in an awesome form and a damn good PL footballer. That's good enough for me.
Stop it with the replacements, especially Schneiderlin and Herrera can do much more than they've shown so far.
 
It's so done. There is no way in hell you say "Pogba is a Juventus player until it is officially announced that he isn't." in the context of everything that has gone on if you haven't sealed the deal.

Maybe Castles connection to Jose is closer than we thought?

Surely just checking the thread title tells you if anything major has happened? Seems you're just irritated by the excited muppets and youngsters :D
 
Pogba TFM plus a deep lying playmaker is the midfield of the future

We knew it is very close. Castles has been bang on about everything related to us this summer.

Yeah, and I hope it works out, but Herrera for me will have to improve immensely if he's to make a good partner for Pogba. Maybe Mourinho is the man to drill some positional and defensive sense into him.

Does complaining about what others post contribute relevant Pogba transfer discussion to the thread?

He's always had the inside scoop on anything regarding Mourinho for years now

Castle's basically works for Jorge Mendes, he has been a Jose mouth piece for the last few years. He always used to spout biased Jose/Chelsea stuff for years on twitter, now he seems to have sided with us with positive Mourinho articles etc. If anybody knows it's him, and he says it's done. He has clearly been told.

Bear in mind that Rooney will be dumped out of the team sooner rather than later if he doesn't perform (there's a decent chance of this happening IMO, Jose won't persisit with him for long if he's churning. This would free up Pogba for a Lampard/Gerrard style role and create another role in the team for someone like Herrera to operate in. I'd hold on to him for the time being.

Nah I'm just paraphrasing.

If you just want the relevant news, there is transfer tweet section on top that is as reliable as anything. Another thing that helps is if you only read the last page of this thread, it pretty much tells you where things are at the moment.

If people aren't allowed to chat on public forums, then where exactly do you think we should take this conversation? And sometimes when people are excited about something, the convo will get repetitive.
 
The people connected with the club aren't even arsed to deny it. :lol:
 
:lol: has he really said that?!

“Yes [there will be a big signing]. We have 22 players now and we will have 23,” the 53-year-old told reporters.

“I don’t like to talk about other teams’ players. He is a Juventus player until officially he is not.”

No he has not. He has said we want to sell/loan every central defender that isn't Bailly or Smalling. He still says we want to sell Mata too.

To be fair the window is still open, its not unfeasible that Mata can leave and/or we loan out a few defenders.
