is it me or are we really good in announcing our players? Or do I feel that because of my love for united. We rarely seem to have cringeworthy announcements

I enjoyed the Pogba x Stormzy video, though it was fitting. The Sanchez announcement video was classy and it gave me goosebumps.

These are our version of Real and Barca doing that big fart on parade when they sign a big star. Only online videos get way more buzz.

Sanchez was quite classy. On top of that it's for #7 shirt, which makes it more special. Loved it to bits!

Like everyone else on the Caf, I've watched the reveal video ... let's just say more than 10 times. :D

It has great production value. The behind the scenes videos of Sanchez playing the piano show how much work went into making it. Top class.

The Sanchez one was probably the greatest player reveal ever. Inspiring, goosebumps, all that. Pogba one was a bit cringe.

Don't like them. The Pogba one looked like the 'I have a pineapple' bloke.

Yeah no one can touch us in this department. This is why I'm annoyed that we don't have a YouTube channel.

Pogba one was just epic and all sorts of hype at the time.

Sanchez one is just pure class and makes your hair stand on end.


...both great in their own ways but Sanchez one seems to take the cake without a doubt, virtually perfection. Don’t see any reveal topping that in long long time or ever as a matter of fact :drool:

I feel like Sanchez one could be just slightly longer, I just didn’t get enough of it.

Which is what makes it such an awesome one. Leaves you craving for more. Must admit. We've been waiting for the announcement for days and everyone knew it was coming - but they still managed to blow everyone away. Think the only better one is the RedCafe one mixing it with DT. I reckon that was @Slops. Major props for breaking the Internet there!

Maybe. Baffles me how we have all these tech wizards but we have a website I'm pretty sure was created as a school project in 02 using microsoft paint.

This will always be my favourite.

The Pogba ' I'm Back ' was quality too. It was only a few seconds but with all the buzz... it was a perfect statement video.

The Pogba one still makes me excited, but I’m in love with him so maybe I’m biased

I suppose you’re right, just want to know if it is normal to have watched that video over 30 times.

What I will say is this - United freelance their social media videos, one of my friends has actually created some content for us before, I’ll find the videos he worked on when I wake up fully.

That’s why our videos are a lot slicker than the rest of the content on our website, and that’s also why I imagine we don’t have a YouTube, because there’s no one videographer/producer who’s able to work on it.

Whether it continues that way, I wouldn’t know - but that’s why.

They can easily gain Youtube revenue if they have one. I need to pitch them!

I’ve watched the Sanchez announcement at least 10 times! It’s absolutely brilliant. No cringeyness just pure class

Am I the only one who can't stand the Pogba announcement video, it just doesn't do anything for me. I freakin love the Sanchez one though!!! Its gotten me so hyped, I bloody loved seeing him look around the stadium in a Cantona esque way and playing the piano and shit, so epic.

EDIT: I'm referring to the adidas pogba video, I just scrolled down and saw the United one where he says I'm back, that hypes me up bigtime, puts a big smile on my face everytime I see the "I'm back" pogba video.

The reveal video was why the transfer took so long to complete. It took them one week to teach Sanchez the piano.
