We are

Not that it matters
Telegraph article I just read says we aren't

Sources were at pains to insist on Monday that the €105 million fee is comparable, therefore, to the amounts paid for Bale and Ronaldo.

The only add-on that is known about in Pogba’s contract is a payment of €5 million (£4.25 million) which the player will receive should he agree a new deal within the five years of the initial contract.

Significantly, though, the fee is not thought to include a payment to Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola – who also brought Ibrahimovic and Mkhitaryan to Old Trafford – and who has been demanding a minimum of €10 million (£8.5 million) commission in negotiations.

Eh? No, I mean first - talking about Bailly and Fellaini (guessing on the latter).
Indeed, Fellaini's first language is French, although he does also speak Dutch as he grew up in Brussels. Mkhitaryan does speak French fluently after living there as a child - in fact he is something of a polyglot, and speaks Russian, German and Portuguese in addition to English and his native Armenian. Januzaj is also fluent in French, although I don't know whether his native language is Albanian.

As @Paul the Wolf says, Zlatan's French is terrible.

Making sure not to tag him too. Clever.
:lol:

Wth is grime? Some kind of hiphop?

Announcement at 11 or is it the infamous 48 hours again...
It's a UK version which first became mainstream in the mid 2000's (Lethal Bizzle, Kano, Dizzee Rascal etc).

It has to have (I think 120 odd) beats per minute. A variation of hip hop and rap really.

Better go to bed instead!

Is it a problem to test positive for TCH? No idea how the EPL feels about it. Since guys don't get popped regularly I'm assuming it's not really tested for.

Zlatans english will be very good from being a Swede since you are taught it at age ~4ish and then the majority of TV shows imported are American, and the internet really helps people with learning languages too. Then his time in Italy helps him, French/Italian/Spanish IIRC are all Latino languages so it helps enourmously.
French is not Latino, it's more akin to English believe it or not. I speak Portuguese and can understand a bit of Spanish and Italian and my Afrikaans(third language) helps me understand a bit of Dutch and German but still all thise languages are pretty different. Now I understand Mkhitaryan speak a few languages but not sure if French is one. French is a total other beast and definitely has no relation to the Roman orgins of the Italians. French has a Gaul influence.

Did you even read what you posted? It says the fee for Raiola isn't included in the fee we paid Juve and that he was/is demanding €10m, now where does it say that we haven't/aren't paying his fee?
I thought by saying it wasn't included in the fee we are paying to Juve it meant we aren't responsible for the payment to Raiola (as the deal was between Juve and Raiola)

Either way doesn't matter, only £8.5m

We pretty much have the same words than italians and spanish, it's definitely a romance language.

Not sure you could be more wrong if you tried.

To add to that, whilst French is not a latino language, it is one derived from latin.

English is Germanic, which is quite different. Most gallicisms are a remnant of the monarchy, since the British monarchy's preferred language, was and remained for a long time: French.


Mikhy...The armenian dude grew up in France, French is arguably his first language.

We don't have a beast of a DM to grant Pogba a hunting lice from that deep role as it would leave Carrick isolated and make vulnerable to getting overrun in midfield. The only way to get the best out of Pogba and maintain the team's balance is to play him as the furthest forward midfielder in a 4-3-3. Pair Carrick with a defensive box to box CM, TFM can be moulded into one imo, and give Pogba the free role.
Maybe, but we have been playing 4-2-3-1 in all the friendly games so I dont think we are suddenly going to change to 4-3-3 now he has come. Mourinho has been chasing him for weeks and surely planning the squad with his arrival in mind.
Personally I dont buy in to a lot of this tactical talk of formations and all the like. 4-4-2 is supposedly dead yet Leicester did alright with it last season. Tactically Mourinho is arguably the best around for getting results so Im sure he has something in mind regarding the 4-2-3-1 with Pogba in it as he has already said he sees Pogba as a Scholes/Gerrard/Lampard type player. I do totally agree with you regarding Mensah and the fact currently we dont really have an ideal partner for him though. I actually think Blind isnt a bad option stop gap wise along with Carrick who still has plenty to offer I think even if it isnt week in week out. He may be past his best, but not in the same way Schweinsteiger is for example

I remember one time a French a Spanish and a Italian were all speaking to each other and I thought it sounded odd as they were all speaking there native languages and we're having a full conversation... Turned out they all understood each other and said they are similar which I at the time thought was amazing but I can't understand non of them apart from the odd word!

Romance languages are Indo-European languages that evolved from Latin. They include Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian, Catalan, Provençal, and Romansh (a language spoken in parts of Switzerland). - Taken from Encyclopedia.com

Actually, none of that is true. I speak English, Spanish, German, Dutch and French. Dutch, English and German are very similar -> Germanic languages. Spanish and French are similar -> latin/romance languages.

I wonder how Ravel Morrison feels about seeing his ex-team mate at OT on that salary. If only he could wise or grow up !!
