On a more serious note...how much do we think he will cost in fantasy football?
I'd say between 10 and 11m. Anything less and he'd probably be the most owned player in the game

I remember a similar situation with ADM, when Ancelotti basically confirmed his departure in a tour press conference. Let's see if history repeats.
Yeah I was thinking the same.

I think Allegri actually informed the press group in Australia that he would refuse to answer transfer questions. Unless HQ have now allowed him to say something?

Surely no-one still thinks he's not worth the money any more? If you do maybe you just haven't seen enough of him over the last couple of years. Also, have you carried out a calculation including...status, age, marketability, image rights, league factors, projections etc etc etc? I haven't but I trust the club. It's simply supply & demand!

Rooney is shit scared now, most of the big boys are coming in and they're jose's biatch!
He'll definitely be thinking that he will need to raise his game.
Jose is definitely not spending all this money to aim for 4th/5th place, which was LVG's target.
And if Rooney looks to be heading for a repeat of last year's dire performance (8 league goals, 26th highest scoring striker in the league), he knows what will happen.

Keane mentioned we were in for Zidane.

Money was the issue.

"remember that from way back"
Yes I am referring to a press conference after loosing to Barcelona where he was asked who he would buy from their team if the Glazers gave him a blank check.

Reminds me of the Mourinho presser when he confirmed Mata was coming to us. Loads of muppets expecting nothing, but getting everything.

That again, please :drool:

I know this has been insane but it seems like Vidal/Sneijder saga's were worse. Maybe because it lasted all summer.

He's not worth the money, but very few footballers are these days, because of the crazy money in the PL. I can't think of many transfers this summer that have been worth the money, really.

why on earth would they?
Because it's a one year extension of their current contract instead of a new contract. The new contract was 65m but required a new 5 year duration and since barcelona want to change sponsor they didn't want to commit for the next 5 years (or whatever the new duration was).

Because Real Madrid make more dough, they have as many fans and they have more trophies.



He is a youtube player, he can create magic but he will frustrate you a lot.
Bar the trophies which is a discussion for another time (Franco etc.) they are just about even in terms of fans and financial strength. The comment was mostly in regards to Juve supporters anyway.

Finally, since Roy Keane last walked off the field of play and after years of waiting and frustration and countless threads on here - a midfield we can compete at the top table with is forming! :drool:

Juventus version of the Adidas ad campaign. No sign of that Pogba fella.

Hopefully get some sort of a announcement today, even if it's from Juve.

I'm not one of the ones concerned about how we make our money back, I'm confident we didn't do this deal without checking if we can afford it. Just can't see, even with the advertising side of things, that Adidas aren't going to want the majority of them shurt sale profits after paying us so much, else they'd never make a profit overall.

I actually don't care, just can't wait to see him bang in some of them scholsey long shots and make some defenses look stupid.
But Adidas ARE getting the majority of the shirt sales... That doesn't mean we get none of it. We get a small minority, they get the rest.

I wonder where he will play since Rooney most likely will feature. He isn't defensively astute enough to play as part of the midfield 2 in a 4-2-3-1, and we don't have someone like Kante to cover him defensively.

Unrelated but Sky Sources have reported Schweinsteiger is up for transfer. They really are behind. They'll probably say we got Pogba a week that

It still tells you why people would think Madrid are the biggest club and at the end of the day who cares about that, being the biggest club brings you nothing. Madrid can't win their league and we can't qualify for CL.

I also think Adidas may have edited the United logo in. It may have first been Juventus.
That's exactly what I think.
Considering that the "newspaper" Pogba is holding in this clip looks a bit like Spanish (AS, Marca) and English (Daily Star etc.) ones makes it quite obvious that their plan with this ad was to show Pogba staying at Juventus despite several rumours.

Now as it seems that this doesn't work out they may have just edited the United logo and put the OT scene at the end.

9.5-10.5m I'd say.
He'll be seriously over priced for the amount of points he will get.

8 goals 13 assists for Juve last season. I think it's fair to say he won't have as a successful season in a more competitive league playing for a team who won't run away with the league and be favourite for every game they play.

Eriksen had 6 goals 15 assists last season for Spurs playing in a more advanced position than I expect Pogba to play. So I'd say Pogba would be doing well to get those kind of stats next season.

Our midfield two next season


Mourinho likes defensive stability in midfield, that duo would get shat on defensively. Unless we get in a pure DM which can cover a lot of ground I can't see any other solution than a 3 man midfield.
