As long as Phil is fine we'll be grand

An apparently reliable Milan publisher, Corriere Della Sera, are running that the deal is done and will be announced tomorrow. The article is in Italian though...

http://www.corriere.it/sport/16_luglio_28/pogba-united-stavolta-ci-siamo-046360fe-5434-11e6-bb79-1e466f3b40d8.shtml

While a newspaper saying Pogba is going to sign soon is nothing new, what does interest me is that CDS say that he will be signed on a 6 year contract.

If he signs, it will be great, but a 6 year contract would be amazing. Yes, contracts mean shít in terms of how long a player will actually hang around, but it also means that anyone Real Madrid who want to sign Pogba would have to pay a wedge to do it in the next 3-4 seasons.

Also, the article states that he will get the number 6 jersey.

6 year contract, #6 jersey, there's the "Route 66" comment from yesterday explained :pac:

Edit: This article actually seems to say nothing about 6 years, and I read a misleading headline.

IamtheWalrus

Sky Sports are such bullshters. They say their sources say the deal is close. They know no more than me or you. They announce this in case it does happen and they don't want to be seen not having the breaking news. Obvious I know but it's pathetic.

Until United announce it is DONE I'm not allowing myself to believe it is. Been burnt far too often.

The Corriere report, translated by a shaved baboon (since I went to the trouble of copying/paste, I might as well share)...

And yet it moves. Small steps, Paul Pogba is close to Manchester United. The white smoke still there, but it really is around the corner. Juve are feverish hours, not only for the arrival of Gonzalo Higuain: you are defining fact also the farewell of the French champion. Within a couple of days, less than sensational and unthinkable reversals, all the pieces of the puzzle will be arranged. And then with the departure of the number 10 it will set a new record, that of the most expensive transfer in football history. The deal is expected to close to 110 million.
To get to the cartel are still to polish some distances between clubs related to bonuses (Juve could get additional 10 million) but above all to the committee that it is up to the entourage of the player. Outlay latter, according to the Bianconeri, must be done by the Red Devils. On this point, the British seem to have convinced. Meanwhile, Juventus does not stop and work to find a replacement. The strong name is always to Nemanja Matic Chelsea. Conte has taken off the market but the Bianconeri pressure continues. Same for Blaise Matuidi, corazziere PSG and France. How Pogba belongs to the stable of Mino Raiola and this aspect could not be secondary. The trio under observation is complemented by the Belgian Witsel Zenit St Petersburg, although there can be some surprise names. Nothing to do for Mascherano, who has renewed until 2019 with Barcelona. Napoli instead traveling at two speeds. Icardi not give in and embrace Milik. The Polish striker will arrive today and will support medical. The after Higuain is taking shape. At the same time, however, fades Corentin Tolisso: the offer of 26 million seemed to be able to break in Lyon but the midfielder changed his mind and said no to the transfer. This is yet another refusal cashed in this market after Klaassen, Zielinski, Lapadula and Candreva. And President De Laurentiis has to deal with the anxiety of Koulibaly not insensitive to the sirens of Chelsea. The Blues have offered 45 million for the defender but Napoli makes wall. The center does not sell, at least not until he had found a substitute: for this have been offered 22 million to Turin to Maksimovic.

You're absolutely right. I've google translated it now and see that it only mentions the deal is imminent, nothing about contract length. This was posted over on Reddit with the '6 years' in the headline link. I clicked in to the comments to check the reputation of the source. No one seemed to mention anything about 'where is 6 years coming from?'. I don't post on reddit, so can't raise this point like you did.

Anyway, if Pogba signs and for this huge fee, I'd like to see a lengthy contract worthy of the investment the club has made.

I hope that one of the many last details in this contract will be that the agent doesn't have a similar 20% fee deal in the future.

Fair play, I try to stick to that, but in this case I can't help but drill the 'refresh' key out of it.

I know we've had our sagas either side of it, but Vidal Summer 2014 was the killer for me.

The world is going to Sh!te.

And now the gullibility of boardsies. Actually thinking we are signing Pogba.

Newsflash. We are not signing Paul Pogba.

Check my record. Flawless.

I like his new haircut.

It shows a real devil may care attitude. The self belief oozes from his wire like tresses, you can really feel the confidence emanating from him, like the mane of a wild stallion, unfettered, uncontrollable, untameable.

Sanches was supposedly really close, and we dithered (LVG) and Bayern swooped in and got it done.

We didn't get him though and its only head wrecking knowing how "close" we are to signing someone.

But that doesn't make any sense with what you posted.. your saying you hope zerks didn't trust the tweet yet the tweet was true

It was confirmed that we were very close to signing Sanches, so therefore DiMarzio was on the ball with that tweet

How does it not make sense? I said I hope he doesn't put much faith into that tweet. Meaning I hope he didn't think we were definitely signing Sanches. It's not that difficult to work out.

The journalist diMarzio is as close to knowing whats going on as there is so I would be confident that this deal is nearly done barring crossing the Ts and dotting the Is. We will have some team for this season and must make a serious title challenge. This would be my best 11

I presume he means that he would be cutting in from the wing?

Vic Vinegar

If Reus is a cm then Martial can be too.

Reus is a CM in the same way that Rafael is a CM.

billyhead

I mean Martial on the left wing and I cant think of anyone else to play an attacking right back that would be as good as Valencia. Darmian (nothing special) or TFM (a bit raw still)
