Muppetry aside, why would a chopper land at OT, then fly again to Carrington, then fly back to OT to deposit its payload, then fly off again? Why not just fly right to Carrington? Or if the passengers went via car to OT first, why not just drive to Carrington instead of faffing about with a chopper? Genuinely confused
Because you get less exposure to media?

Are we sure that's the itinerary it followed?

We all love United
To be honest, i doubt this chopper business flying all around OT and Carrington is real. It must be a wind up by someone here or out there

People are still acting like they are unsure this deal is happening.

It is going to happen! Whether it is today or deadline day, this is going to fecking happen. I will have a breakdown if it doesn't.

I think this response might fall into the post-modern irony bracket you referred to earlier. Then again you may already be aware or even intended this so therefore does that make it post post-modern irony? :wenger: :wenger:
Yes. But you ruined it by commenting on it.

Something may have been salvaged, however, by me - now - commenting on your comment.

Yeah nothing says low-key entry like a private helicopter landing at the most famous stadium in the country :lol:
Well, we are still here guessing as opposed to having pictures of Raiola or Pogba in a car driving away from Carrington.

It's a pretty elaborate wind up to fool the guy in this thread who works by old trafford and has seen the copter with his own eyes twice.

...Unless he's in on the conspiracy too! :eek:

Our PR team is gonna go all out on this one. A camera following him around on his first day as the 100m man etc.
It's no wonder why it's taking so long so announce it. These plans have to be put in place.

I hope there is a few sneaky digs at Madrid involved.

This has been dragging on for ages, I feel like even when we unveil him there is not much left to get excited about. It was more exciting when we first found out that it could actually happen, now its just a drag. I'm sure though once it is made official that the muppet batteries will be recharged again.

So any actual chance that it's him in that chopper? If so I would assume they doing all the photo shoots and interviews so that when he's announced they will release all the content at once.

Its not about it being a lie or not, its about it not amounting to anything either. The poster I quoted was saying he waiting for BBC to report on it, but as Ramos thing showed we still didnt get anywhere.

By the time BBC report something as 'set to sign' United usually has already tweeted about it.
Not exactly.

The BBC reported the Mourinho set to take over as United manager directly after the FA Cup final, long before it was announced. They also reported that United were set to complete Ibrahimovic deal a few days before it was announced.

Would fit in with our digital content manager and MUTV interviewer both following him on twitter this afternoon

Have you seen the tweet from Dave Merrell? Apparently Adidas is one of his clients, and he uploaded a Pogba caricature on twitter.

It doesn't take long to put these plans in place.
I could come up with a major marketing plan within 48 hours.
If I had a team with me, I could get it all organised within 1 working day.

Just found it. Someone said to him "bit premature?" and he replied an hour or so ago "maybe not."

Something is happening!

Edit: here you go
