Anyone who doesn't fear Madrid in the transfer market is a slow learner.
Granted, this deal has gone our way (phew!), but the fear that Madrid might've hijacked the deal was understandable.
We have been electrocuted by that lever more than once, and it's not a pleasant feeling. It goes without saying that many refuse to touch it again.

Anyway, Pogba is ours! And the assumption that Madrid also wanted him is hopefully true, because we get to say "nah nah nah nah nah"!
The issue wasn't making light at Madrid transfer power overall, it was the flimsy-at-best evidence to show they were in the pogba deal at all. The "madrid panic" people based there panic on AS rumours and zidane saying madrid like to get the best players.

Even Marca tempered Real interest on multiple times by saying James would have to be sold and Madrid didn't have the money to match MUFC offers.

If we were in an ACTUAL bid contest with Madrid, then yeah, most of us should have been worried. However the closest Madrid got was "monitoring" our bid. That kind of info doesn't deserve a massive freakout like we saw daily in this thread.

So we DON'T get to say nah nah nah nah nah? Pity :(

I think they wanted him, but simply couldn't afford him. Now, please god of football, let them buy Sissoko! :devil:

Going camping for 4 days with no Internet access. This thing better be wrapped up by 1030 this morning or I'm gonna be one nervous mofu over the weekend.
No way that is happening until the end of the day at the earliest. The good news will be the ultimate climax to your trip. Enjoy!

Haha, why not again?

The cost to United will be much lower than £92m very very quickly with all the shirt sales. Maybe after a couple of weeks week United will announce the initial shirt sales, and then we can talk about Pogba costing United £40m at that point.
Read up about how shirt sales work in terms of revenue to the club. The crux of it is that Utd get a very small share(10% approx) of the total money it generates. All this "we recouped the transfer fee in a month" bullocks was peddled by Perez iirc after signing Beckham and the myth has just continued from there.

Good morning muppets

I'll be home at 6pm (Uk time) is it too much to hope for that I will come home to an official announcement that Pogba is signing?

Weren't they saying 110m Euros?
110m Euros which includes the bonuses.

The most expensive transfer of the business of football history is about to be defined. TheJuventus is ready to greet Paul Pogba , which in turn is going to return to Manchester Unitedafter four years at Juventus. A gain that's dramatic, when you consider that the French had arrived in Turin on a free transfer: after the agreement reached between the two clubs will be about 110 million gross collected by Juventus, with the figure that also includes component on mediation - ie commissions confidential agent, Mino Raiola.

Is he normal?
Raiolas £8m is included in the fee so it is still a World Record fee. Remember he is entitled to 20% of the total transfer fee. So if the fee is 100m he gets 20m and Juve 80m. So yes it is a World Record fee.

OLE OLE OLE I LOVE YOU
@AquireMe .... I just want to thank you for all the info. We said that if it happened you'll always be our hero
@VanGaalEra .... You are our God for not letting our Cocks back in and kept motivating us when we were about to commit suicide
Hi mate, i know that @Acquire Me knew about Jose signing in advance. But what's with him now? He was an ITK on Pogba signing also? Please reply in details.

What I like is that since the transfer built up a head of steam, the fact he left us for nothing 4 years ago now seems to be disregarded, not only by us but by most others as well.

I guess it's because in the grand scheme of things, when you are signing one of the highest rated players in world football it means feck all.

can this thread get to 1000 pages?!
Well if it's announced soon, then I think this thread will be locked asap and a new thread started

I think it will only hit 1000 pages now if there is a hitch and caf meltdown.. So i hope it doesn't reach 1000 from here!

How did the word "Muppets" become part of Caf lore? Isn't it about time for a new moniker?

Pikachus or something?
The Illuminati :p Well the enlightened ones anyway :) The rest can settle for cnuts

So it's not even a world record after all things considered. 92m total fees with 84m to Juventus and 8m to Raiola.
That would still be a world record I think, since his price is the total we pay including the agent/Pogba portion no matter which club pays it.

Google Real Madrid have sold over a million Cristiano Ronaldo shirts. Covered their fee. I remember hearing those news soon after CR7 was sold to them.

BTW, this is my last post, so you all get your wish for me to stop. I hope at least you saw some sense in what I was saying.
