Apprantly hes secertly arrived in manchester this afternoon for his medical hahaha
Didn't he have a medical in the States and everything was wrapped up there?
Just can't see what United are doing. Buying back a player who used to be yours for 110 million just seems nonsense on a psychological level.
For starters it says your greatest ever manager fucked up big time in getting rid of the player in the first place.
It reeks of desperation.
Much better in my opinion to say OK we got it wrong but that's history.Let's buy Bale. Or Hazard or whoever. Pogba? As they say you should never go back and that applies as much to him as the club.

I was thinking that Adidas would want it announced ASAP so they could start knocking shirts out,as you say,most rags will of bought other shirts by now and won't be buying another.Will that of cost Pogba too?
On what clubs get regards shirt sales,I read an article a good while back,it said that for every Liverpool shirt sold at £50,Warrior got £47.50.
If that's true or not,I don't know,but I can't see a manufacturer paying a club a big wedge and NOT taking a huge majority of the spoils.
Going by what i've seen, most rags haven't bought a shirt since Sharpe stopped sponsoring them.

Personally I don't think anybody is that good. Of all the things in the world you can buy for 200 million, 1 football player just isn't worth it to me.Do wonder if he's stalling for time. I suspect he'll end up there but it's clearly not where he wants to be. Can't see Juve turning down such a ridiculous offer for a player they can manage without... But they will extract every last dollar; expect the fee to be north of £100k plus £ 20k for Mino - 5 year deal worth over 60 million in wages. Not much change out of £ 200m all told. Is he that good?

But it's less than 30p per fan !
I think things went other than Juve and Pogba hoped. Possibly it was always the idea to sell Pogba in 2016. European Championship in France and Pogba leading his country to glory... it would have attracted all the top clubs and a bidding war would have started. In the end Pogba wasn't among the best players and France lost the title. Instead of Barca or Real, only United remain. No other club is interested to sign Pogba at this price. If Juve want the maximum payout it's now or never. The hype is coming to an end and they have no guarantee United will be stupid enough to bid the same sum next year.
United and Mourinho - both of them - are not trying to sign a player in the case of Pogba, so much as trying to make a statement that they are still a club, and a manager, for whom the best players in the world want to play. This was the point of Bailly's claims that he snubbed City specifically because he couldn't resist the lure of United and their charismatic eye gouger. United are particularly concerned not to be seen as another Liverpool. Klopp has admitted that he cannot attract players of the calibre required to build the team he wants, and this is almost certainly because of their prolonged absence from the CL. United's experience with top players has not been encouraging. They bought Ronaldo as a talented youngster but had no chance of keeping hold of him when Real made their move. There their connection with big name players ended until disaster struck under Moyes. LVG brought in Di Maria, Falcao and Schweinstieger but this all had exactly the opposite effect to the one intended: Di Maria showed that a really top player would only go to OT when his club didn't want him and there was literally nowhere else to go (he wanted Paris, as we all know) and Schweinsteiger and Falcao showed that top players would only go to OT if they had injury problems which meant they could no longer play as top players. With Falcao Mourinho made the same mistake as LVG! So a 35 year old on a one year deal and a Dortmund reject aren't going to restore United's (or Mourinho's) reputation on their own. The trouble is that they're paying twice as much for Pogba as the price which led City and Real to lose interest PLUS enormous fees to his agent and huge wages to the player - and he still hasn't signed. It suggests very strongly the lengths United have to go to to attract a player who is still nowhere near the best in the world!
Very good post.
Please tell me you're not describing Mkhitaryan as a reject!United and Mourinho - both of them - are not trying to sign a player in the case of Pogba, so much as trying to make a statement that they are still a club, and a manager, for whom the best players in the world want to play.
