They used to be reliable and knowledgeable but now they're far from.
It's sad when two random people who no one on here has heard about before this transfer are more reliable than a huge media outlet like Sky

I actually expected these 2 guys to have an update when Pogba left NY, why? Cos they are the only people who knew where he was staying. They met him the other day outside the hotel and just had to lurk around until they saw him with packed bags again to realise he is leaving.
 
This is "Gary neville out for 2 weeks" all over again. This is never going to end.

Till it ends.

Yet the best a Sky Sports News reporter could get is a "We'll see" haha
Still, they got reliable (we think) information about where Pogba is off to next
 
Pogba is a big muppet himself. At least he's monitoring social media very much himself. "The Sport Bible" posted a picture of him 25 minutes ago with the tag "Pogba has just arrived in Manchester" and a few minutes later Pogba himself commented: "Old pic from last winter guys c'mon". I'm sure he enjoys all this attention.

Thats the thing, Pogba has had so many opportunities to put the rumours to bed completely and say he's not coming to United, yet he doesn't and even goes to the point of putting teasers on his instagram.
I'm certain he's loving this
 
OK just to continue the muppetry on this Pogba move timeline....

Whatever he's coming to France to do (if the reports are correct) of a personal/ family related nature really can't be that important can it? It's not as if he's gone to visit a sick relative because otherwise he'd have cut his holiday short (unless he's a total cnut which is obviously a possibility).

If it's not serious, it can't take more than a few hours to sort out. Could he be at Wembley sitting in the stadium tomorrow I wonder?!!

Could get a helichopper across the channel?

Yeah, I reckon you're right about the personal business in France. Of course, if it'd been that important, he would've been there already.

Unless we actually announce him before the game, there's no chance he's going to be at Wembley IMO. Would be too much of a circus, and it would seem very unprofessional given the circumstances. Even though it's just a glorified friendly, it's still a competitive match, and there's no chance United and Mourinho would want Pogba to steal all the focus and take it away from the game itself.
 
Question...

I'm sure many of us expected this to have been wrapped up by now, so will the time it has taken and the copious amount of bs from twitter make the transfer that much sweeter when United announced it with him holding the shirt?

I'm sure if he'd have signed 2 weeks ago we'd be somewhat over it by this point. I'm at the point where it doesn't really bother me now, I've no muppet left in me for this one. I'll still be pretty pleased when it's done but the massive excitement has gone for me.
 
Pogba is probably reading redcafe.
Wouldn't even surprise me, tbf. Pogba: If you're reading this, give RedCafe a shoutout, or give us a hint in your next Instagram post.
Let's see if he responds to that :wenger:

Agree with you. I think the Pogba Mania has already peaked, and people are actually just getting impatient and annoyed that it hasn't been announced yet. But there's probably a good reason that it hasn't been done yet, and we should just stop listening to the media.

We've done it to ourselves to a certain extent. You just can't escape the (social) media coverage but yet our seemingly endless demand for said coverage means there's never a break from it.
 
Well with the community shield tomorrow and just the fact it's Sunday I doubt anything will happen re. Pogba. We enter yet another week hoping it will finally be the week we get closure.

Originally, maybe, but their video showed what hotel he was staying at (Trump Soho), so anyone that wanted to properly stalk him after that could have easily enough.

On the contrary, it has been made to look like a done deal but been dragged out so long it has gotten extremly boring. It has come to a point were you expect him to sign, where you already assume he is our player, the announcement is just a very important detail that has been missing. In my opnion dragging it out this much really destroys the excitment you feel when a new signing is announced.

From all the players we signed so far this summer, Bailly is the one that got my muppet juices flowing just because it was so out of the blue and unexpected and that is how I like them the best.

Agreed. Out of the blue and wrapped up quickly. I'm sure Jose wanted the Pogba thing to be done weeks ago as we all did but the time it's taken has sucked the excitement out of it for the most part.

Exact feeling. The waiting for the announcement has made muppets numb.

I wonder if there are still people excited about this who have been following it very closely from 2 months ago?

Having said that, when he is actually in Manchester, the excitement levels will creep up again...
 
We won't announce him until he is holding our shirt. So that won't be tomorrow if he's due in Italy before hand. I'm certain this will finally be the week though.
 
I can see this one exploding after the Community Shield in the same way Van Gaal leaving exploded after we won the FA Cup.
 
Him being summoned for training on Monday surely suggests this "done deal" isn't as complete as we thought.
 
On a serious note Pogba seems a bit of an attention whore and too obsessed with the off field privileges of being a superstar footballer for my liking,

We need to keep him away from Memphis when he comes and get him to concentrate on improving his game and fulfilling his unbelievable potential.

I don't think this is so much the case. 1) He's been on holiday so his social media output on non-football matters would spike naturally, and 2) this thread has posters following his every move. We'd unravel the same about many other footballers if we put them under the microscope too.

He's 23 and single, which means regardless of career, he'll be out and about on more lavish activities. That doesn't mean he's not totally invested in football.

Agreed. More importantly : has his attitude or anything he did of the pitch ever been an issue? If no, then I honestly wish him all the fun in the world.

Bit of a stereotype assuming he will just be out because he's young a single. Pogba is just an ordinary guy, I'm still convinced he will be a Manchester United player but as time goes by the cracks start to show.

Perhaps, just think this Drake and Dabbing nonsense is counter-productive.

I know Pogba is a good athlete and keeps his fitness levels high, it is the mental side of the game I think he needs to work on and I feel he is a bit immature.

He has the physical and technical attributes, if he can add the reading and knowledge of the game he will be the complete package and a Ballon D'Or winner in my eyes.

This has always been his weakness imo from when he played underage for us.
 
No his immaturity on the off the field are preventing him from becoming absolutely astonishing.

He is already a top player.

What immaturity? If anything he seems grounded and seems to be very involved in his faith, just because he does a few dabs doesn't make him immature.
 
As the time goes by and they're still writing paperwork it starts to be put into doubt.



True but then people who are in committed relationships devote their time to the partner it's still expended energy, infact it's probably better being Single and out than sitting at home working on a beer belly like some in the squad.


Fair enough pal, but I wouldn't worry at all. Think it has been sorted for a while now. Just puting pen to paper I think. So 99.9% done IMO. His holiday has finished and Jose said we will get our fourth player who is obviously Pogba. It's a question of time. Don't let the negative nellies in this thread get to ya! ;)
 
It's a deal for 100 million pounds +. There's going to be people pouring over every letter of this contract. The agreements seem to be all in place, it's just the particulars. That's how I'm reading it anyway.
 
According to Alegri, Pogba will report for duty on Monday, so he will either go straight to Italy or he may go to London, to watch his team play W.Ham.

I do find it funny that he apparently landed in Manchester, but no pictures were taken because he is underground.
I mean, if you are going to make up a story, at least give it a sense of realism.
Next they will say that he is in Manchester, but he is hovering 100m in the air, so nobody can actually see or take a picture of him.

What's more believable:
Nobody has seen him in Manchester because:
1, he is in Manchester, but is underground; or
2, he is not actually in Manchester

Jose has already stated that next week MUFC will attempt to complete the signing.
It won't be tomorrow and quite possibly won't even be next week.
 
So him meeting celebs on holiday and his goal celebration are the mental barriers preventing him from being a.top player?
Yes, dabbing and the unusual condition of being single at 23 are ultimately going to be what holds him back. Once he starts wearing skinny jeans we might as well ship him off back to Italy.
