I fully expect you will see Utd getting linked with other midfielders over the next few days.

Premium Sport (MediaSet) are saying that Juve are moving for Witsel and accelerating the move within the next 24 to 48 hours as the Zenit president want to sell Witsel to Everton
Di Marzio said this morning that Witsel is a Juve target to replace Pogba
"Same situation" done deal for the last fortnight and Juve are spending the cash first. It's so bloody obvious.
Do Not Want
Gotcha
Gotcha
Delaney is not necessarily a shite talker - there are far worse.
There is nothing wrong with he's saying about the 20m - of course Utd have the means (i.e. not prohibitive) but dont necessarily want to pay it all solely. It doesnt need to be one or the other.
As for Madrid - if Madrid were willing to pay the money, i think most would agree he would be going there so its not a reach to suggest he would rather join them.
Why do people keep acting like this is at all true? This originated from Ballague which then AS and Marca ran with it, all Spanish league biased cnuts. Ballague was on tv and radio basically throwing his toys out of the parm because Madrid can't match what we will pay.
I can see that we feck up this deal and in 2years pogba moves to madrid in much smaller fee.
Which is the other way?
One target? You sure about that? The manager says otherwise.
Fixed
Oh right, yeah. That's what I think too. I must have misinterpreted your post. Sorry about that.
As long as Madrid pay the agent fee's I couldn't careless.
not unless you are Wenger
... poor sod couldnt sign an autograph right nowI'd have more respect for Ed if he pulled the plug on the deal now. All of this up to now does not make me think that Pogba really wants to come to us, and it'll just be hassle a few years down the line when he or his agent make noises to move to Madrid.
You dont know that. If it happens, great. If not then it wont have been for a lack of trying.
Not one person on here knows with any degree of certainty what will happen.
That applies to the media too. I'd wager that only Pogba, Raiola, Woodward, The Glazers, Moratti, Jose and Allegri are 100% in the know. Everyone else is just piecing stuff together or completely making up stories.
If Juve won't accept €120m and pay Raiola his share from that amount, then they can feck off.
There is a limit imo.
There is a limit imo.
This he is absolutely shite talking because it's stuff we've already seen and from people that are also shite talkers.
Yes there is. The 20m isn't prohibitive yet we are reluctant to pay it. You can't get really anymore contradictive than that other than that we are flatout refusing to pay it. If Juventus are gonna be cnuts about an agreement they made with Raiola and we really want him then there is no choice but to pay it.
If Pogba wanted to join Madrid as much as people are making it out to he would hand in his transfer request and tell Juventus or he would have told us that he wasn't interested in a move back to United.
ESPN won't know much before other journos, they have not been front runners at all during this saga.
I agree. Delaney is just regurgitating what other reports have said over the last few days. No new info, and I don't even think that it's him confirming info from his own sources.
For example, this repeated claim about Pogba preferring Madrid. There is no quote from him about that, only reports--really just speculation--that has then been repeated enough that people take it is a fact, some even exaggerating it to the point where they think he's desperate for Madrid and doesn't want to come here at all. Sure, we can speculate on that. After all, they're defending CL champions, they have one of his footballing heroes as manager (for now), and they're overall in a stronger position than us. But that doesn't mean that's the only place he wants to play. I'd prefer a Lamborghini, but I'd still be pretty fecking happy if someone gave me a Ferrari instead, and I wouldn't be driving that Ferrari around longingly dreaming of some day having someone give me a Lamborghini to replace it.
Higuain joins Juventus
BBC have confirmed Higuain > Juve
http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/36874091
I'm not sure it's a good thing that they've bought Higuain before we got Pogba.

Delaney is a classic ''pretend I'm in the loop by using informative language'' but doesn't say anything we don't already know.
I think it's at a point of who will blink first. Juve or Us. Either way someone will eventually blink and pay the pizza man his tip
Depends on how you define a "good thing".
I am now 100% -certain- that they've sold Paul Pogba, else there's literally no way they'd be able to fund a move like this. They're not that rich.
the only question is whether it's to us or to Madrid, and for how much. I expect that it's to us.
Been rubbish since the demise of Moyesy
Agree
Sharp intake of muppet breath....
Nothing to be angry about. Just leave the table and buy someone else.
There does have to be a point where we tell them to take it or leave it. Can't keep offering more and more money as it may have a knock on effect when it comes to future transfers
I'm not arsed about the actual cost of Pogba but Juve can get fecked if they're expecting us to pay Raiola's %. That would be mental.
My poor felt heart can't take the strain.
Well, it's either that or we probably end up with Matuidi.
He has to be prepared to walk away, otherwise Juve will keep bending us over.
It has nothing to do with Pogba, this is the respective parties negotiating teams and the agent. Pogba has agreed personal terms by all accounts.
Yes that's my thoughts. If I was Moratta, I would have sold Pogba as quickly as possible, told the fans and then bring in Higuain the day after and announce it.
The way it's all panning out has me feeling a little suspicious.
Starting to not wanting him here.
It's only a matter of time before he comes home
** repeat **
All based on the assumption that the following information is correct.
1/ Raiola + Juventus have a contract stating that Juventus have obligation to pay a 20% fee of any future transfer of Pogba.
2/ After preliminary agreement on fee between Man Utd and Juve, Juve then insist Man Utd pay agents fee
This is how it should be done.
1/ Man Utd in coordination with Raiola should have a legal binding document between themselves stating that both parties are in acknowledgement that Juve are essentially blackmailing Man Utd by attempting to invalidate the contract between Raiola and Juve re 20% fee.
2/ Man Utd should pay the agreed fee to Juventus and Raiola's 20% fee
3/ Use the legally binding document made between Man Utd + Raiola to sue the feck out of Juventus.
4/ Make sure that the legal case is dragged out in the public domain using ALL means neccessary to make it clear what type of underhanded club Juventus are and in the process destroying all notion of the 'romance' that the name Juventus once had.
5/ After winning the legal case against Juventus make it clear that Man Utd stand for freedom, honesty and integrity
And finally
Feck Juventus

We all know what happened the last time Juventus smashed their own transfer record. S Stay calm muppets, a few more days at most.
This thread was beginning to run out of fuel (though the train was still moving at a fairly fast pace).
The Paul Pogba transfer saga simply will not stop...and I'm loving every minute of it.
This announcement has filled all our fuel tanks and the train is now going at maximum speed once again.
The Paul Pogba transfer saga simply will not stop...and I'm loving every minute of it.
What happened?
