Has anyone actually seen this guy play? Or is this another random signing out of the blue that nobody has ever heard of? (Manucho, Obertan, Tosic...etc)

I have not seen him play but anyone with the name Paul Pogba is fecking fine by me.
 
On SSN now, Le Havre doesn't seem to happy about it. They are filing charges, where have I heard this before?

He is going to be a United player. Le Havre just want cash. It's all just business.

If they are that pissed, he must be pretty good. Apparently Wenger was sniffing around too....and in a football sense as well.

Sounds like Fergie signed him up ala Diouf to prevent him being spirited away.

Once he is in the youth set up, some of our regulars should give updates on his progress here.
 
I'm finding it difficult to be optimistic about this transfer. Without trying to sound too blunt, Pogba really is a shite name, and I can't see that sort of name going anywhere in football.

Yea why not? Normally there are always some video's of them playing for the national sides.. for their under 17/19 or whatever..
 
Manchester United snatch French starlet from under noses of Arsenal

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has snapped up French midfield starlet Paul Pogba - under the nose of Arsenal chief Arsene Wenger.

Ferguson has tied up a deal to land the 16-year-old youth international who plays for crack nursery club Le Havre and the kid has opted for United ahead of the Gunners.

It is a major signing triumph for Ferguson who has been unable to dominate the French market in the past few years because of Wenger's name and contacts.



However United have been working on the deal for months and the defensive midfielder, a regular in the national under-16 side, will join their list of talented kids.

Ferguson is working overtime on recruiting the next generation while also chasing the double at first team level, with Pogba's signature now imminent.

Pogba can leave Le Havre in the summer - with the fee to be based on appearances and compensation on his 'education' at the Ligue 1 outfit.

Interesting that Arsenal were after him too.
 
That can only be a good thing, considering Arsenal's history with capturing young French/African players.
