The journalist is supposed to be reliable but if what he said is true you would have thought it'd be reported by others (Di Marzio especially) So I'm not sure what to think about that.
Paul Pogba | Undergoing Medical | Helping out the Laundry Ladies
- Thread starter KM
- Start date
What's the point in that? What do the clubs gain from it?
I'm still confident, I'm also not living in this thread anymore though as its better for my sanity.
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I'd rather we signed Griezmann, than Pogba.What if it's all smokscreen for Girezman
Not quite sure what you are alluding or whether we have enough information of the dealings/negotiations to compare the three. You might want to fill me in here.
Wow sunama is such a rebel.
Time for us and sponsors to set up media stuff, websites, advertising etc.
Ok then.There is always the possibility that we agreed to sign Zlatan on the basis that Raiola would also deliver Pogba. It is possible that Raiola could do a u-turn.
Usurp RAWK goes into meltdown.
But, but, we need you to balance out the anti-muppetry in here
Juve get to look like they tried hard and negotiated well. Pogba is on holiday anyway so we wont have him in Manchester for a while yet.
Chelsea ended up with no striker when they went all in for Rooney in 2013 and ended up with Djibouli as a defender after putting all their eggs in the Stones basket last year. It isn't impossible to think that same may happen this season with us and Pogba.
How on earth is that an unpopular opinion.
I'm fairly confident 99% of United fans would take griezmann over pogba
A lot of the Italian outlets state "hours away" which in fact means days or weeks away. It's lost in translation basically. It doesn't literally mean hours away.
700 pages in, and we still don't really have a clue what's going on.
It seemed to peak about 10 days ago, where it sounded imminent. Very reminiscent of the Vidal saga last year, although this did seem much more likely.
Just can't believe Real Madrid would match our offer, as surely they wouldn't have let us hype the price up insanely. Instead they'd have just told the player to only deal with them. Bit like when VP would only sign for us not City.
Worst case scenario is Real get him, and for tonnes less than we'd have paid.
On another note, this Pilib de Brun character. He's Irish right?So what the bloody hell is the name Pilib de Brun? Like he's some Belgian or something!?
And why is he so often quoted?

We'll all pretend that we never wanted Pogba in the first place, he's overrated and overpriced.
That last line that cracked me up. Kante who has had one good season? Also he is a different type of to Pogba. You can compare Kante and Busquets but not one of them to Pogba. And so many on here were dissing on Zlatan and how he scored only in a shit league and it doesnt count but the same posters praise Verratti as if he proved himself at Madrid or Barca. He is playing in the same shit league for the same shit team. But why is one held to a better opinion than another?
If Pogba's sold he's sold. The fans don't have a meter for negotiations.
It's time for chief muppeter to have his dinner, fuel up and rally the muppets tonight. It's been all doom and gloom in here today!
How can you still be so confident? Unless you're getting daily updates surely you can see your information may now be outdated?
It's been obvious for around 7 days now things have stalled and the media in the last few days have caught up and confirmed that
Again the question was the midfielders who are better, I named who I thought were better (I wasn't interested in if they were a CDM or a CAM e.t.c.). On the subject of Zlatan, I'm extremely confident that he will be a success here
Does this mean anything then? Is he coming?!
Cause it's the Irish for Phillip Brown
One week ago L'éqock reported that the deal had been agreed (with alot of noise from ge Italian newspapers that it was imminent) and this thread title was "ON like Donkey Kong". Ah the good times.
He was adamant throughout the entire Mourinho saga, even when some of us thought he was off to PSG or back to Real.
He has earned the right to be ITK on this. Obviously if Pogba doesn't happen, he will lose all credibility.
@Acquire Me has basically gone Double or Quits on this. And he has selected 'Double', the confident cnut!
Even then Kante?
It means Fosu-Mensah will have to resit his dab exams.
All we need to go full Vidal, is to roll on another week, and "brief" (everyone loves to use that word) the press that we were never actually after him anyway
But thats what I mean, the press can be mislead. See below example;
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/10...rt-as-Gareth-Bale-transfer-saga-drags-on.html
Bale ended up being sold for 100m euros 23 days later. So much for being £18m apart huh...
8.Gave Wayne Rooney 300k per week and a 5 year deal.Never. Ever. Ever underestimate how foolish the MUFC board (and management) can be.
In the last 3 years:
1, replaced a Galactico class manager (Fergie) with Moyes and gave him a 6 year contract. Jose (the ideal replacement) was available but, they thought it would be better to hire a manager who has never won a trophy in his life.
2, got rid of our entire (experienced) defensive line, in a single transfer window.
3, bought Fellaini for above his release clause
4, kept faith with Moyes even after he'd basically given up on our entire team and the season. And only sacked him once the season was completely wrecked.
5, bought Di Maria - British Transfer Record. The only player listed in the World FIFA XI, who was playing in the EPL. Arguably Madrid's best player. MOTM in their final game (CL Final). We did not know how/where to play him and sold him within 12 months, for a significant loss.
6, attempted to sell DDG (our best player for many years) - they only failed because of Madrid's mess-up.
7, LVG was allowed to implement his non-goal scoring philosophy, even though the fans/media were getting on his back. He was even booed. The OT fans chanted "attack attack attack". He was eventually sacked, but was given approximately half a season to rectify the boring football which he had implemented...but he failed to change.
I'm sure there other errors in judgement, but it would not shock me if they sold Pogba a few years later for a cut price deal, to our rivals.
9. Make him captain.
*Turns on house music*
Lingard looks so excited to see your dab vids sent in.
I can't believe people think that paying over a £100m for Pogba is reasonable. He's good, but he's not worth that sort of money. Surely we can get a midfielder who's equally good for much less. There's just such a massive premium because of the way the media and his agent have marketed him.
I personally wouldn't mind if we didn't get him, and spent the money on someone else, and gave TFM a decent run. The player looks a star in the making.

Do we know if it was Mourinho who whole-heartedly wanted Rooney or was he influenced by Abramovich's demands? Stones really wanted the transfer last season as far as I know?
Either way, neither of those two showed any cold feet which was my initial point.
If real madrid had any intention of matching our offer they'd have done that already and got it over with, but they aren't going to do that, their only strategy is to convince pogba to snub united and force a move to madrid, that's not gonna happen imo because it means less money for the you know who.
What happened?
I thought it was all but done. Nothing new from Di Marzio?
And what's with the Real Madrid talk again?
