Paul Pogba | Undergoing Medical | Helping out the Laundry Ladies

[Mr. Meeseeks]

I will tell you why.
Because as a fan, if we are planning to spend £150M (or whatever the latest cost is), then I'd prefer we spend that money on another player OR 2 other players.
There comes a point where as a fan, I think we could spend that money more wisely, to get better results on the pitch. That's all.

£100M for Pogba would be "okay". But if its any more than this, then I'd seriously suggest we look at other players.

The thing is if you want to buy a player that can make a difference, you have to spend that much money. Buying squad players for 30 million each is all well and good but it doesnt really make that much of a difference to the squad in the end. It is only good if you need cover and depth in certain positions.

But if you want to truly improve the squad you have to spend real money on top quality players. Now while whether or not Pogba is top quality at the moment is up for debate, what isnt up for debate is his ridiculous potential. He has done so much at such a young age. Well worth the risk.

I see nobody is worried about the price of pogba anymore after we signed Richard Branson.

Few people still are oddly.

How comes skysports England isn't reporting the same as sky in Italy?

 

[VanGaalyTime]

To understand what Pogba will bring to United, you only have to watch his touches in any random game. Take his game against a top class Bayern in March. He was head and shoulders above the Bayern midfield and Vidal and co couldn't keep up with him. Here's all his touches in that game, AWAY against Bayern at 23 years old. -

The guy is super fecking special.

I like how most of his statements consist of the question he was asked repeated, before a vague non committal answer.

The muppet fires are burning strong. I just hope Juve don't have a large bucket

That Hashim guy would be a good follow now, he'll be all over every news article in relation Pogba/United/Juve.

What a team ladies and gents. Signing Pogba could be the final push that allows Rooney to be benched. Midfield is well balanced with Schneiderlin, Herrera and Pogba as the most attacking. The only (realistic) improvement I can see as another quality midfielder to replace Herrera; Matuidi perhaps.

It'll be much closer to 100 million pounds when it's all said and done, obviously.

Yes, also this €103m most likely excludes Raiolas €25m.

 

[Attila]

Very confident that we are going to get him.

What a brilliant transfer window this could be

He stood out in the CL final a couple years ago against Barca if I remember correctly.

Remember watching the game thinking how I'd love a player with such composure, physical presence and technical ability in the centre of our midfield.

 

[RetroStu]

The quicker some of you dreamers realize that Rooney will be playing, the better.
Its getting beyond tedious at this point.

Out of @DiMarzio all the details of the meeting Pogba: attempting to Man United, Juve that resists and does twitter.com/dimarzio/statu… discounts

 

[Crustanoid]

Raiola brokering offer from United to Juve. Can he not just send a text? '100mil for Pogba, yay or nay? Ed's minted' At that money what the hell is there to actually talk about?

 

[CM]

Will be rejected pretty soon I think. Then we offer more, which will be accepted. Both clubs probably dont want to seem too eager. United dont want to be seen as spending silly money without negotiating. Juventus dont want to seem like they arent putting up a fight to keep him. I think this all just posturing for the media.

Seems about right

I actually read that the 25m were included in the price, according to the GDS.

How long until the first formation is posted?

that's no problem, we can play Pogba right wing for their link up play

Especially with that Juve director confirming they "have replacements ready". It's happening

I agree with you, people complaining about Pogba having a quiet Euros didnt really watch him. It as clear to see that he was a class above. The reason France went so far was because they have 2 superstars Pogba & Griezmann.

I can remember when Brian Robson first came to United and I wasn't getting all the hype. It wasn't until I watched him play, I mean his movement off the ball as well as his touches and ball play, that I realised what all the hype was about.

The guy is class, pure & simple.

I'd love to know how these meetings go. I mean, if United know Juventus want more than €104m, why meet in the first place? One of those times it'd be good to be a fly on the wall to see what actually happens.

All in white. Clearly off to Madrid then! lol

Hmmmm, I don't like this one bit.

I hope that Woody is preparing the second bid - we all know that the first bid is always refused and how long we take to prepare bids

its likely more just refuse first offer regardless of price

Sorry to be that guy, but how can United get a meeting today when Ed Woodward is on an 11 hour flight to China?

That's the team! I'm so excited to see this.

Surely a PL winning side.

The cost of Pogba doesn't bother me at all, as far as i'm concerned he's a player that will improve our first 11 and when a player that's this good, at this age, and with his potential becomes available we have to snap him up. Like we should have done with Bale 3 years ago

Pretty sure this will soon rise to £300 and £400K a week according to oppo fans.

 

[sully1]

Juve are such a small time club.

You got the player for free, now the club that developed the player wants him back and is willing to give you 100 million for him, why are they being such tight arses over another 10 million. You are getting a deal of the century stop being so greedy
