Just because we have an agreement in "principle" doesn't mean Madrid won't/already doesn't. It could be a Hazard situation. Sure we'll pay more, but if Madrid offer close to what we're paying and he wants to go there he'll end up in madrid. I want to get my hopes up, but I just can't knowing Madrid wants him as well....

Bale in 2019 and Ronnie in 2018.
Does that mean he's reliable or unreliable?
It's worth mentioning that Di Marzio was calling Jose, Zlatan and Micky T to us for a while. We should be listening to this guy, and this guy only.
Buying the best player for a position is going to cost a pretty penny.
I've had the same concerns but if its possible to do a deal then we have to go for it. I mean reports are suggesting our alternative is Matuidi, which is a bit of a drop in ability (and price, granted).
Could it not be the case that both him and Ballague are right?
We never did offer more for Hazard though, that was the problem. Didn't give the agent what he wanted and we ended up losing out.
How do you know that? I'm sorry but other than a news story or 2 from a month ago (probably a Raiola leak), there's nothing about them being serious for him.
Can you not see I sincerely asked who his source was? I made a clear effort to not come across in a questioning or doubtful tone, even apologising for making him restate it. Not once did I question him. You've misunderstood me.
Is Pogba this year's vidal? Or is it actually on (like Vidal was)?
I have no doubt we are going for him
But if Real decide to up their efforts I doubt we will win
Marcotti: Nothing new on Pogba
Marcotti: Nothing new. Pogba will leave Juve if they receive an offer they can't refuse. Pogba himself is not agitating to leave Juve. He has more important things to do.

Only reason I can imagine the fee is so high is because it's probably the only way to blow Madrid out of the water, which if it does, will be really satisfying.
Half-mast, make plans. Already got my cut-out of Pog's face ready for the wife to wear, just in case like
Di Marzio is on top his journalistic game, right now plus when it comes to news from Italian clubs he pretty much keeping his fingers on the pulse, 24/7.
If he's agreed a deal in principle with us, then he is clearly happy to join United. Juventus will sell to the highest bidder, so unless Real Madrid match our offer, he won't be going there. The major stumbling block is Juve's reluctance to sell at this point.
He's none of the above. Each transfer has to be looked at on its own merits rather than lumping it in with things from the past.
And we have Jose Mourinho who has shown he is ruthless in the market, unlike the other 2 clowns we had in charge
If France go out today it might escalate matters.
Feel sorry you folks getting your cocks out as this is so going to end up like getting promised anal only for her to forget to buy the lube
Don't feel sorry for anyone. People who get overexcited deserve what they get, as do negative contrarians who think it won't happen.
So the title change indicates that Marcotti's word carries more weight than Di Marzio's?
I don't understand? Are you saying the transfer will go ahead regardless?
Does Marcotti mean nothings changed since Di Marzio's tweet or before Di Marzio's tweet? In other words is he calling Di Marzio a bullshitter or nah? Either way I think both are reliable sources aren't they?
You could get 6 and a half Jordan Ibes for 100 million quid!
They work together IIRC.
Its the latest update. That's all. If another one supercedes it, it will be posted.
Didn't Di Marzio report that Aubameyang to city was close to being done or terms were worked out with the player. Move could still happen of course.
So you're saying that it will be painful for Juventus?
The thread is a gold mine.
No
I can see us going for another target very soon as this one looks unlikely at the moment
This is the correct situation. Unless if Juve dont want him anymore, there is no reason Pogba should leave Juve.
I can see us going for another target very soon as this one looks unlikely at the moment
Ah ok sweet! So Di Marzio is still supreme and Marcotti is just saying nothing has happened since Di Marzio's tweet. Good news.
Understood. But it wasn't what I was asking
The rate this thread is moving has all the makings of us getting our man. I would love to wrap this up in the next week or so and then just go after 1-2 small pieces to tie everything together.
It is when the previous one has raised expectations that may not have been warranted.
No he did said the deal was close depending on if they can agree personal terms but they couldnt since Auba wanted close to 12-13m Euros and didnt want to pay that much but I think the transfer fee might have been agreed for £50m-55m.
What specifically were you asking ? Are both Di Marzio and Marcotti reliable ? Yes they generally are.
So who is the back up player if Pogba is a no go?
Get out with your negativity. He is coming. B-E-L-I-E-V-E!
