Makes sense in that 1) He has not signed yet. 2) If he does not sign and they sold those shirts you can bet all the idiots who bought them would be pointing the finger at the club and the store for selling them the shirt, instead of realizing it was their own dumb fault.
My real name is Dave Pogba! How dare they discriminate against me!
I'am correct in thinking they can't print his name if they don't have the image rights ?
But what about if you are fan and your own name is also Pogba, can't you get a shirt with your own name printed on it ? Pogba's image rights can't infringe with people's own personal image rights can they ?

One of the replies to the tweet says you can still get Pogba printed if you provide an ID.
It says they held a percentage before having full rights, if so very dodgy, English clubs aren't allowed part ownerships.
Someone with an ID named Pogba should order a bunch of printed shirts and sell them to people who want a Pogba shirt but can't get any in the store, could make some money until he has signed
I don't think they would print more than one shirt per IDSomeone with an ID named Pogba should order a bunch of printed shirts and sell them to people who want a Pogba shirt but can't get any in the store, could make some money until he has signed
Fifa must look further into the ownership structures of both clubs and players. City are notorious for bending the rules. Look at the connections between NYCFC and Lampard and the loan they made from their own club after New York fans had bought season tickets. Look at Pep's brother and his role at Girona in Spain, and how City's owners have bought several players for Girona over the last two years, only for Pep to magically become City boss. Look at the way City are registering their squad players under the company name (as a way to build the rep of the player) and then loaning the players out to Australia and the U.S to avoid having to declare the wages of the player on City's books. Could be trouble ahead.
Well we're in a world where clubs don't have to sell their star players any more. Slightly different and surely a good thing for the premier league as a competition.
They're also using City as a go-between to circumvent Aussie rules with Melbourne. In Australia, clubs can't buy players off each other, so Man City buy players off other Australian clubs then send them to Melbourne, snide shite.
Could be linked to the Stones deal.
No surprise here.It's not like he would stay at Brentford anyway after they disbanded their academy.
Is it in any way news worthy whatsoever that a footballer who works in Manchester, and presumably lives nearby too, is spotted in a city about 30 miles from there?
Probably just going to buy a table or something ffs.

Everton have been linked with Bony this window. Bony's presence in Liverpool is therefore potentially significant. As you suggest, it could also be nothing. No harm in reporting on it though.
Lukaku is off to Chelsea
I read that as welcome khaleesi 
Mother of Dragons, Breaker of Chains, Taker of Set Pieces.I read that as welcome khaleesi
18 year old you say...where is that scene from Bad Boys when you need it
My first thought was that Kelechi Iheanachonhad signed for ArsenalI read that as welcome khaleesi
Then i saw the picture
Iheanacho would be a good buy for them imo, but don't think City would sell.
He turns out great on FM.
Bet he's delighted with the weather in Swansea, not a cloud in sight.
Sell them Rojo
Second time Santon failed his medical this summer?
8M? Chelsea have managed to double their money on someone who played once for them.
How did Chelsea get 8 million for him??? They always get massive fees for players.
Chelsea are ace at selling their outcasts.
