10 Weirdest New Signing Reveals In Football History

A transfer reveal that would help fuel hundreds of YouTube videos featuring the ranting of Souness and Keane. There are several reasons why this is a bizarre one. A music video with Stormzy isn't an inherently terrible idea - there is some potential there. Unfortunately, all of it missed the mark.

Firstly, it wasn't commissioned by Manchester United. So it looks more like an opportunistic marketing exercise by Adidas. Secondly, it features a lot of dancing and not a lot of football related content. If it was a music video, that would be cool. If it was a commercial, still no problem. However, as a signing reveal, it is rather trivial.

Lastly, and most disappointingly, Pogba doesn't rap. Paul Pogba is in a music video and doesn't rap. Let that sink in. An opportunity to see a mega show-off between P-Pogz and Kevin Prin$$ Boateng, spurned. Yes, Paul rapped over Grandmaster Flash with Antoine Griezmann body popping and sang some soul with Patrice Evra, but it was never official.

Banter aside, it was a bizarre way to reveal your team's new superstar player. Sadly, this reveal also proved to be a bit too prophetic regarding the player's tenure at the club. Many critics feel that Pogba never lived up to his star billing and failed to reach the levels he maintained at Juventus. Too much flash and not enough end product on the pitch.

With all that said, there is still time left for him to prove himself - both as a player and as worthy competition to The Prin$$.
