I'd like to see Pogba in that kind of role for us, but he's such a complete midfielder that it'd almost be a waste of what he has to offer playing a box to box role from central midfield. One of his best qualities is his ability to bring the ball up the pitch from deep. We've been missing a central midfielder that can do that in what seems like forever.

I'm going for a Monday announcement.
It's Jordan Henderson. Mourinho likes the way he runs.
Really, all these people claiming to be ITK are just guessing. He is either coming or he isn't.
Flip and coin and tweet it.

Why is every player every other team buy are guaranteed success or are worth the money or are better than our players we are bringing in? Which other player have our rivals bought that he would say are no good or average? If he had a remotely balanced argument he would at least mention some of the subpar mediocre players that other teams have signed of which there are plenty.
He says Rojo, Jones, Blind and McNair are all up for sale or loan. Who on earth will play cover to Smalling and Bailly?
Mourinho is Mendez's biatch so clearly, he is conspiring with him to act as a distraction to ship Pogs off to Madrid.
all joking aside is this not just a rehashed version of what JM said before Rooney's testimonial a couple of days ago?
what a way to end my friday night.
WE ARE GETTING POGBA!!
WE ARE GETTING POGBA!!
Sounds even more done here.

Fellaini?
I was watching Jose on Skysport and I don't recall him saying: "a very good midfielder."
I watched it live and he definitely said it mate
Here's the press conference for those interested.
Just imagine if we don't sign him now 
He definitely said this.
Be great wouldn't it? Juve would shit the bedJust imagine if we don't sign him now
According to the Daily Mail's quotes, he already made that step:Seriously, anyone want to deny this anymore.
He's one step away from pulling a Mkhi and saying "we have 4"
'We made decisions. We brought four players, not 10, who are Man United level and can really improve the squad. "

On Paul Pogba, here is what Jose said:
He later on said:
He later on said:
Heard somewhere they never make announcements in the weekend, I don't know how much off that is true. But it is part of my reasoning why I think it will be on monday or tuesday
I stand corrected.
Hopefully Schneiderlin in the presence of his upcoming club team mate will remind himself how it's like to be a classic Premier League box-to-box destroyer.
I can't see them playing much together to be honest.
It will happen any day next week. The club is planning to finish it's transfer business before August 14th, before the start of our season. Jose has basically confirmed Pogba is coming in the press conference
Not sure what you're getting at here - there is no official 'one club only' home grown rule which applies to any of the competitions that United participate in so your distinction is a bit arbitrary...
Oh man can you imagine this place if after Jose said all this, the player ended up being Matuidi of Diarra lol. It would ALMOST be worth it just to see the meldown.
Which press conference was this?
But, But, Sky sources said he will be in Manchester tomorrow?
Clowns.
Clowns.
Oh dayum!The one that happened right now.
Who has said he won't be? Until tomorrow is over you don't know they're wrong.
That's okay, all I silently hope is at least remote change of midfield stance from sitting deep to being part of the reasonable pressure into oppo's half.
Said the man in the orthopaedic shoes.
Maybe all this is just a Messi smokescreen.
But in all seriousness Pogba is the level of player we need to be aiming at to fast track our way back to the top table.
Will be interesting to see our targets in the next few windows.
I would like to thank lord Jesus Christ for giving me the strength and energy to stay away from these transfer threads all summer. Hallelujah!
"He is a Juventus player...until officially he isn't."
May as well have Kermit himself sat behind the desk.

Get over it, it will be a terrific transfer for the club.

I'm not sure if it's on topic, but in the CL and EL you need 8 players association-trained and 4 of the 8 players need to be club-trained.
very good conference. He is ready to battle with the managers who have commented on his purchases.
fireworks will start early.
Aaaah.
So the provisional deadline he has set on Pogba is 14th August.
That's more like it. I trust Mourinho far more than journalists who make up their own timetables, using a random number generators.
For example, The Telegraph who I previously respected, stated that the signing would be announced yesterday.
Buying back our own player is what makes this strange. Which we've known about for ages. Why are you getting additionally wound after just finding out he's "home-grown"? The regulations mean home-grown players are more valuable. So usually come at a premium. This fact makes the price seem less steep, not more.
He's not homegrown, unfortunately.
