Has it been declared by Zlatan or someone that today's presser/announcement will not be about the Apparel company only?
No of course it hasn't. His marketing team are riding off the back of our name.

It's the only reason I have any doubt he will sign for us. It's the perfect way to get the whole of the football world focusing on the launch of his brand.

As I said above it seems very unlikely we'd let him announce his signing for us via his brand launch when we have such a huge contract with adidas. Adidas will want him kitted out in our gear when he's signing the deal.

He'll call a presser, lean into the microphone and say "No, no, no..." While waving his finger, then walk out again.

He's not going to announce his own signing if he's coming to us. It's all obviously about his silly clothing brand launch
My guess is it is about his clothing line. He's clever, though. Lead the press on that you're going to announce what club you're signing for, especially lead them on it's United (which it probably will be, in the future) which will have every press writing about it, waiting and watching while he releases his clothing line. The coverage would be huge!

Guidetti speaks of the situation like it's a done deal (if the quotes in the Daily Mail article are right). In fact it looks like whole of Sweden expect it to happen. One newspaper credits Palmeri as a good source though :nervous:

So exactly what I said about 5 posts ago then?

That's a great point.

At first he said it was about his launch in Paris but then he said some cryptic stuff like "there will be news coming out during the launch" and "something might come out before it starts".

:lol: my bad.. I have a tendency to be updating myself on the latest pages of a thread and I once I come across a post I want to reply to I do so straight away, sometimes without reading the other new pages.

He has told some of his teammates in Sweden where he'll go, for example Jimmy Durmaz. So I guess it's not that a big of a secret in the NT right now.

Someone on the forum must know someone who knows Durmaz or anyone in Zlatan's national team entourage? Get on the blower!

Haha a friend of mine is actually a rather good friend of Jimmy, but he says that Jimmy won't say a word about it - not even to his own family.

Knew it.

Fecking Durmaz. Zlatan must have threatened to give him a nipple twister.

Don't get your hopes up if you think he's definitely going to announce his new club today (like Trizy and Pex said) - especially those who were around for the Hazard saga, you should know better.

Hey guys you know what, I reckon today might just be about his new clothing line and he's just using the media frenzy to his advantage. I'm surprised noone has thought of this already.

"Here we see Zlatan sporting his own design. A rain-jacket with a special Zlatan-plastic bag to protect the head."
That is awesome! But I'm not sure it really captures the story of Zlatan.

Maybe they should consider a bimonthly snack basket gift club. I'd subscribe for sure!
