Modric? We were often linked, don't know if we ever made a serious enquiry.
Benzema and Varane were influenced by Zidane, whereas Bale just wanted to go where his guy crush was at. Spurs didn't want to sell Modric to us. Fergie didn't seriously want Ozil. Kroos probably was put off by Moyes/LVG.

We may have inquired about all of them at some point but we're serious after Benzema and Varane, Bale not so sure.
 
The only actual thing holding Real back is the fact they don't seem to have enough cash to hand. A quick sale of Morata or James is the only way I can see Pogbas situation changing. Either sign for us or stay at Juve - from Jose's old quotes, don't think he'll want this to drag on much longer and may go to plan B.

Only if we move on to other targets, maybe a late move in August by Real for him as they'll surely have sold someone by then. Zidanes quotes are a declaration on "hold on for us Pogba", hopefully its too late and we wrap this up.

If my memory isn't too bad, Varane also saw the purchase of Jones as a negative for joining United.
 
Well, hours can be 2... can be 8... but they can as well be 5798. He might come here when he's 35 to play his final season here and then retire
 
Just saw the thing about his medical being cancelled. I don't know what you lot have said about is as there has been 20 pages since last night, but i can't see this happening now, Pogba obvioulsy wants Madrid and has been stalling hoping they will come in for him.

The only bright side to this is that all you annoying "lol pathetic how some of you are scared of Madrid lol" people will have to eat some serious crow.

Interesting -- according to La Stampa (printed version) - it's done. Juve will receive 100M Euros and Raiola 15M. What needs to be agreed is how the payments will be made. Nerozzi sounds very smug about this deal, saying that Juve made the deal of the century (which is true).
 
Zaza has just refused Wolfsburg. Sampdoria are interested however I doubt they will pay 20m for him. That must hurt Juventus who had spent ridiculous money for Higuian,

It's been proven to be false. There was no medical arranged.
 
Maybe we can have a sticky post summarizing all the facts about the transfer, so that posters can have a uniform view of developments so far.
 
Perez likes these big deals to stretch out so that it gets a lot of media attention, but he wouldn't just let it all be United talk for the last month if we were really in for the player. That's the number one reason why I think we're not in for him.

Again with the finances..? What finances are you lot talking about all the time. 15-20 mil € here or there as if Madrid was broke. You are talking about the club that topped the Delotte Football Money leauge (biggest revenue in football) for the eleventh consecutive year (generating net profit at the end of the fiscal year). I can't believe this is even being discussed. It's literally identical to Real Madrid fans claiming "United can't be in for the player because they have no money". Sounds stupid doesn't it?

Our squad can not accommodate what we already have (there's already one 80 mil € player with huge wages on the bench), so no other galacticos are coming as long as he is here. If James is not leaving, Pogba is not coming. That's the end of it.

I'm not saying you can't afford him. I'm saying you won't pay that much and will try to get the fee reduced. If I were a betting man I'd say that he'll join Madrid for £75m before the window closes with either James or Isco leaving the club to compensate (probably to Juve).

Well whats holding it up then?. Why would Zidane of said what he did yesterday if Pogba to us really was a 'done deal' like so many keep saying?. If it really was a done deal, Zidane would of tried to save face for Madrid by saying something like "we have our own targets, Pogba is not one of them" or something like that.
Also proven to be false by what?, Twitter?
 
Im not Jose, nor am i a scout BUT i AM a realist. Its not my role, i know this will surprise you, to identify other targets.

If we get him its got ADM written all over it. We all admire Buyern, would they go to this level? No, course not.

My view is to concentrate on British/EPL talent - ala Buyern. As this Galactico fascination just aint working for us. We are being played, almost every time.

Just because someone currently plays in England is no guarantee that they are not just as likely to want to move elsewhere at some point like ADM.

The problem also with focusing on British and Pl talent is one there is very little top British players around and two any top player British or otherwise playing in the PL will most likely play for another top English side. Those types of transfers are rare these days, and hard to pull off on one wants to sell to a direct rival.

And besides in the last few years we have bought Fellaini, Mata, Shaw and Schneiderlin from other English teams.

Negotiations. Is Zidane part of our negotiations?
 
Yes but in the context of him mentioning right afterwards that he's a Juventus player we know what he meant. Pogba is not a Madrid player, he's a Juventus player and I can't say anything more on it. That's the just of it. Sky's version make it seem as if a move to Real is impending. Surely Marca would have milked that all day long. They haven't.

Still not sure how you confidently read it that way. The "today" which you've totally missed out puts a pretty different slant on it - surely a massive implication that he expects him to be at some point in the future?

Proven to be false by the doctor whose name was mentioned as the one who was meant to be doing the medical.

You've based this on feck all.
 
The thing holding Real back is, an actual need for the player.

But if Pogba were to go to Real, I can imagine a merry-go-round between us 3 clubs...Pogba to Madrid. Kroos to United. The money to Juve.

However, I still believe Pogba is coming to us.

If it's 5 years in the future after another record fee by which time we'd have gotten back to the top, that wouldn't be so bad.

There really aren't any facts until United/Juventus/Pogba publicly say something definitive. Everything else, spare a few posts from respected journos, is made up.

Hmmm. Not sure about that to be honest. It's actually the folk constantly wittering on about him going to Madrid that have been the annoying ones. Especially since (up until maybe today) there's been absolutely no basis for saying so.

Incredible how you make it sound like you want Madrid to do us over. Stop acting so small time
 
If Real get Pogba we should try to poach Modric or Verratti, Dont think PSG would turn down 100m

yeah, we have been on and off bringing this Nerozzi story up for about 6 hours now. ;) This hilarious thing is that one of the biggest media developments of the saga (claim the deal is now done and fees sorted) has completely been dwarfed by people shitting themselves because "zidane likes pogba". Truly incredible. :lol::lol:

PSG definitely would snap our hand off if we offered them 100m for Modric. In fact, they would likely take anything we offer.
 
La Stampa say done deal, yet all you see in here is "Madrid, Madrid, Madrid". Jesus christ guys, get a grip.
 
Why wont they ?
They have plenty of money,more than us also.
No they don't, when those lists come out of 'richest clubs' it's more defining a club's worth through assets and commercial viability than the money they have at hand. We have more money to spend than any other club in Europe
 
Believe me i don't, but i would take a tiny bit of comfort in seeing some people have to eat some pretty big crow.
Personally I find it more annoying seeming people say 'he's Madrid bound' or 'just wants to go to madrid'. It's fine to recognise them as an elite club and even say they have a bigger pull, but it's still ridiculous to think that Pogba wouldn't be interested in an equally elite club in Utd, where we can offer more money right now and a world class manager. I have to say in terms of the deal I was more confident the other day, however, I still think this is pretty much a done deal for us and can't see Madrid getting him this time just because he's a lesser priority.
