120m seems like a decent offer. Maybe we could get some young talent on top as well? Moise Kean perhaps?
Felix who barely played at top level went for 120 million.£120 million seems like a great deal to me, the £150 million is a go away price not a true valuation, Pogba has done nothing that would value him as high as £150 mil, TBH I think £120 mil is an amazing deal we should rip their hands off
Agree with that 120m is a reasonable amount to sell him for I'd be content. Hopefully we can secure a deal for an replacement before we announce to the world that he's gone though.£120 million seems like a great deal to me, the £150 million is a go away price not a true valuation, Pogba has done nothing that would value him as high as £150 mil, TBH I think £120 mil is an amazing deal we should rip their hands off
Just signed a new contractThat's a fair opening offer, could likely bring in 2 really good mids with that money. Would be nice if they chuck in a guy like Bentancur too.
Atletico also played 50m for Vitolo and close to that for Kalinic. Diego Costa was signed for something ridiculous too. They paid 70m for Lemar and then bunged another 70m on Morata. Hardly the standard of what to expect in the market. Juventus and Madrid are much more shrewd.Felix who barely played at top level went for 120 million.
Yeah but shouldn't be our problem. They also paid 94 million for Higuain and this was before Neymar transfer. We should hold out for more money or a good player in swap deal.Atletico also played 50m for Vitolo and close to that for Kalinic. Diego Costa was signed for something ridiculous too.

I think paying 120m for Pogba is akin to paying the 80m they paid for Higuain. We'll never sell him if we hold out and frankly he isn't worth the trouble and the drama. Never has been.Yeah but shouldn't be our problem. They also paid 94 million for Higuain and this was before Neymar transfer. We should hold out for more money or a good player in swap deal.
Fecking hell, are you okay... mentally?On who is the better talent, you are entitled to your opinion, I very strongly disagree (I will say that with words rather than six smilies). I would say a very decent % of United fans would say Loftus-Cheek is the superior talent and very few Chelsea fans would rather have Rashford.
You miss the point re wages. Obviously United's turnover is massive but that doesn't mean a player at United should be on more money than he would be worth if he were at another club.
55% is under control ( at least it most certainly doesn't qualify as out of control) and wages are well balanced across the squad, we don't have a player earning 3-5 times what others in the squad are that is artificially inflating the wage demands of and offers to players that would never get the same offer elsewhere.
Four Four Two an article about Saul's contract and the basic bones of it are that Quality Football (headed up by Jorge Mendes and Peter Kenyon) own a 40% stake in Saul's contract. The source was Football Leaks.Can anyone make sense of this?
Supposedly a 130m release clause, but Atletico are only entitled to 81m of that and would have to pay the rest to retain him.
I've never heard of anything of the sort and it makes no sense.
I've not seen these rumours, have you got a bit more detail? Is it that we have only paid £60m because the deal was in instalments? Is it that certain add-on milestones haven't yet been met? What's the deal?Is the rumours are correct, Juve only received like 60+M of the 80+ transfer fee. So I can see why they are paying 120m -- double of what they had originally received. I can see them thinking of that as a fair deal.
Yep. Should be 150 or they can go kick rocks.Felix who barely played at top level went for 120 million.
120 euros right? So £107mFelix who barely played at top level went for 120 million.
No, when Juve took him on a free from us in the first place, they done a dirty deal with Mino that he would own about 30% of Pogba's transfer fee, so in essence it's their own fault they got less of the fee.I've not seen these rumours, have you got a bit more detail? Is it that we have only paid £60m because the deal was in instalments? Is it that certain add-on milestones haven't yet been met? What's the deal?
Not the same.120 euros right? So £107m
Juve apparently offering £120m? So 133m euros.
Not the same is it?
I don’t agree with this. We should have money without selling Pogba for starters. And the minute we get £120-£150m for him no doubt we will be quote even more for the targets we want.Think we should sell quickly so that hopefully Woody gets replacement in quickly as I cant Woody freeing up funds until we sell Pogba, of which I hope we invest the full fee if we can;t get any players in exchange. Hoping this gets done soon, as the longer it takes the more excuse it gives Woody to say something like we were after 'x' player but didn't have enough time to get said transfer done.

It's not normal market. In normal market 70 million would get us 2 Maguires.Which to my mind was mental, still not convinced that there was not something dodgy there but still, Felix went for a release clause, just because a club thought it was worth the gamble in the open market nobody else was looking to pay that price.... in normal market Felix would have been half or less that price
It was 126m euros too, for what it’s worth.Not the same.
120 million vs 133
107 million vs 120
Doesn't make any difference. We should be getting lot more than what Benfica got Felix.
Are you referring to the market where we bought Rio for £30m 17 years ago?It's not normal market. In normal market 70 million would get us 2 Maguires.
Not sure your point there, maybe you missed context or I'm missing some sarcasm here.Are you referring to the market where we bought Rio for £30m 17 years ago?
Maguire at £70m is a fair price for an English international CB considering English fullbacks cost around £50m nowadaysNot sure your point there, maybe you missed context or I'm missing some sarcasm here.
Then you missed the context.Maguire at £70m is a fair price for an English international CB considering English fullbacks cost around £50m nowadays
You make a very valid point and I also think we should have the money without having to sell Pogba. I would have liked to have got our business done before we sell Pogba because I fear that we will get fleeced due to the selling team knowing that we have 'x' amount of money to spend due to the Pogba sale and also they will know we are desperate so they will try to get a few more million. But sadly I feel that Woody doesn't feel the same and doesn't want to make the money available until we sell Pogba. Which is a shame. I totally agree with the part in bold.I don’t agree with this. We should have money without selling Pogba for starters. And the minute we get £120-£150m for him no doubt we will be quote even more for the targets we want.
We need to get our business done then sell Pogba at a good price. We shouldn’t need to sell him, other than the fact him and his agent are rats.
They are either WC fullbacks or the ones with potential. Maguire is neitherMaguire at £70m is a fair price for an English international CB considering English fullbacks cost around £50m nowadays
The rumour was that the missing $$ was for Rialo and his folks.I've not seen these rumours, have you got a bit more detail? Is it that we have only paid £60m because the deal was in instalments? Is it that certain add-on milestones haven't yet been met? What's the deal?
Yeah, those are the only 2 criteria.They are either WC fullbacks or the ones with potential. Maguire is neither
Or 70 Trevor Francis.It's not normal market. In normal market 70 million would get us 2 Maguires.
The poster said that English fullbacks cost around 50m these days. AWB and Walker are the only two i can recall going for that price. What is your other mystical criteria that justifies 70m? If you think splashing cash on not so special players is the way to go then congratulations! You haven't learned anything from last 4-5 seasons.Yeah, those are the only 2 criteria.
Some of you deserve another year of Phil and Chris.
That's because they got shit loads of Pogba money, no?Yeah but shouldn't be our problem. They also paid 94 million for Higuain and this was before Neymar transfer. We should hold out for more money or a good player in swap deal.
