I don't know what's worse, the fact that someone wrote a goddam poem or that the shirt sales myth has sprung up again.

Don't know why the shirt sales thing is taken as a myth. We had no share percentage in the Nike deal but the Adidas deal is radically different. It'll make a minimal difference but it'll be a difference.
Boom!
How many shirts do we have to sell to pay off the debt? Is it doable?
Are we confident enough yet to pre order No.6 Pogba shirts?
How many Pogba shirts should I buy to clear my overdraft?
Raiola is receiving a cut of the fee so it would still be a world record fee then surely?
Same as if Pogba had a previous club who were due a cut of the fee, it's still included.

We get less than 10% on a shirt sale. So no we won't get our money back like that. We will through various other means and when we eventually sell him again
Woke up and first thing was to checking this thread as usual for the past few weeks, but it's getting serious now. Today is the day we finally may see the word OFFICIAL.
Juventus fans can't digest the fact that he is leaving them when they are the strongest they have been in more than a decade to a United team off the back our worst period in the last quarter of a century. I'm just loving it, please hate us more, I have missed the hate in recent years 
We sell a pretty consistent number of shirts each year. The number of people who will buy a Pogba shirt who wouldn't normally have bought one at all will be incredibly small and our share of any profit on that number of shorts entirely inconsequential.
Unless somebody gets sold and he snatches their number.

Brilliant compilation. feck me, he's only going to get better...much better
Posted so many times by now, but honestly this comp is
The part with Pogba was filmed way in advance since adidas plans it's marketing campaigns not from one day to another or even in a week.
The rest was simply edited in the end and I'm pretty sure that the part with the United badge and the OT scene was originally filmed with one of our other players as the United version of the "blah blah blah" campaign – could also have been part of the Mou ad as we all know that adidas also made one with him.
As soon as adidas knew that Pogba might (sorry for using might but I'm still trying to hold my horses until official announcement) join United they simply put parts of both together to create the clip which was released yesterday. Wouldn't take too long to do this though.
The official twitter account is actively posting, dont expect the Pogba announcement anytime soon.
Even if the club got 100% of the cost of a shirt you would need to sell 2 million €60 shirts to make back the cost of the transfer and according to this article 2 million is the number of shirts we sold in 13/14.

Pogba would not be on the back of all shirts and we do not get 100% of the cost of the shirt so its unlikely that replica sales will have much of an impact.
I know as I said the difference will be minimal but it's still better than under Nike where we used to get nothing.
Yes, we get a % off the Adidas sales. We also get to keep majority of the profits when the merchandise is sold through United channels (ie Megastore etc).
The Real Madrid ad is out on adidas' twitter channel, too.
It's a bit longer so I assume that we might get the full clip IF Pogba really joins United. Think they've left out another part like they did before - adidas milks it.

Happy Pogba day everybody
Sorry to ruin Pogday but this isn't going to be official until next week is it.......
no way the club pass up the opportunity for Pogba to arrive to Old Trafford by chopper and get all the exposure rather than doing a medical in the US
I'd say Monday or Tuesday

Shocker is he not here yet Interesting to see how much brown stuff splats the fan when he's still not here tomorrow either 
Interesting to see how much brown stuff splats the fan when he's still not here tomorrow either I never watch compilation videos but just watched this...Bloody hell!. Overrated/overpriced my arse. If not for poor/casual finishing feck knows how many assists he could have ended up with.
I noted a few things though
1. We'll need better attacking players than Darmian/Val to make something out of those cross field passes
2. His combination with Evra on that left wing was glorious, can he do that with our left backs?

It also seems that with the Adidas video that they knew about this well in advance, which would also back Sir Aquire's claims of how he knew.
Ya but as someone here mentioned, we 'make back' this money in the sponsorships we're able to negotiate. No doubt adidas were told we will make massive signings. And lo and behold, adidas new face becomes available and is the perfect fit to our team. You couldn't make this shit up. Win win for both us and adidas for years to come.
Shaw is a very good attacking LB so I think this should work. Additionally Martial will also be on this side (hopefully).I never watch compilation videos but just watched this...Bloody hell!

Probably a bit by the nervous muppets, but there's nothing left to worry about, everyone should be calm.Shocker is he not here yet
How do we know we get a % of shirt sales?
Aren't the paying us like £75m a year for the privalige of making our shirt? Why would they do that to not reap the vast majority of profit?

From Di Marzios English section and this the correct translation not what you think you read using Google translate:
http://gianlucadimarzio.com/en/eng/...ogbas-transfer-to-manchester-united-released/
It's a world record deal.
This seems to be the only transfer where the price seems to go down each time I look at a report. €110, but Juve will be reporting it as less, as they have to pay some tax on the deal, and we don't have to pay all the fee to the agent.
I thought we got just under £1M compensation when Pogba went to Juventus, that's not nothing.
Provisional squad numbers given show no.6 as being vacant.
34% increase in shirt sales last year apparently. God knows how many we will sell if we are actually good to watch again
Di Marzio figures don't add up. The Barca figures wrong now were they? Oh please do provide me the source that shows its wrong?Let's see what they announce at their GM. Also lets see what Real announce too for their deal.
You actually remember what threads someone on a forum has started? That's special.
I could also probably go through your post history where you've been wrong more than enough times but that's got nothing do with the Pogba transfer now does it?
They get the privilege of showing their brand to 600m+ fans globally with the United badge on it, of course we are going to reap rewards from it as its our fan base they tap into. Anyway - don't worry about it , just enjoy the football - that's our job
The Guardian article is written by Romano, who works for Di Marzio
I am pretty sure its all agreed.
It frustrates the hell out of me on any transfer discussion that what the player is like as an actual player is always overlooked in favour of talking about the commercial aspect. I appreciate it is part of the game but cant we talk about goals and assists targets as opposed to shirt sales targets.
But if you cant beat them….join them…………United, Adidas and Even Pogba will be delaying it until after Zlatans debut. It’s all about exposure, dominating back pages and sports discussion. Zlatan is box office and this week end will be all about him. He’s dominate the papers today, tomorrow, Sunday and Monday. The only information might be from a post match Jose interview where he might say “we are trying to finalise things”……nothing will come out of United, Adidas or from Pogba until early next week so that we dominate media coverage all week leading up to the charity shield.
The marketing / PR department at United don’t miss a trick. Pogba signing massively overshadowing Stones to City for £50m will just be an added bonus in terms of timing too.
