Also 7of the top 10 signing on that list turned out to be good signings in the end. Just shows spending small amounts on a lot of players can be a false economy.
boofeckinghooThe mood has really turned over there at Juventuz.
Its gone from denial to anger... poor guys
they are not hard core Juventus fans. I wonder if they ever been to Turin the first placeboofeckinghoo
I love Juve as a club, always have since my younger days, but their fans over on that forum throughout this saga has been a real eyeopener for me. They cry that we talk about signing Pogba, yet they have threads on their boards with who they are linked to and are posting much the same as the stuff we posted in here. Hypocrites.
They will still win the league hands down without Pogba. And I suppose if they feel they can't, they can always go back to bribing teams.
I don't think the forum is the most accurate representation for Juventus fans, as I believe it's only the English-speaking posters who frequent it.boofeckinghoo

Veron and ferdinand were signings that were a higher expense/revenue than Pogba. Shows how much we have grown. Also shows we almost spent 20% of our turnover back then on 1 signing even then.
They seem completely blindsided by the developments. They genuinely thought that they would be keeping Pogba for another season at least and even if he did want to leave, it would never be for United.I don't think the forum is the most accurate representation for Juventus fans, as I believe it's only the English-speaking posters who frequent it.
Also, posts on their forum saying they would prefer to sell to Real makes feck all sense either. This is a team that want the CL, and yet they would prefer to sell to a team in the CL and hamper their chances that bit more.I don't think the forum is the most accurate representation for Juventus fans, as I believe it's only the English-speaking posters who frequent it.
He wasn't the clubs most expensive signing that season, Veron was.Where is Ruud?
Why not? Pogba isn't as globally marketable today as you might think. He won't earn us £50m more the next year if he comes.You can't be serious?
Bought in the same summer as Veron who was more expensive so he won't be includedWhere is Ruud?
Not sure I'd measure one's passion by whether they've been to the club's home. I agree that armchair fans (eg the gloryhunters) are irrelevant, but I myself lived in Manchester for a year when I was 2 and haven't returned since (and still to this day have not been to a home United game), yet I'm up at 2 am, 5 am etc for every single United game. The nature of big clubs is that they have, by definition, fans from abroad, or else they wouldn't be big clubs. Anyway, off topic.they are not hard core Juventus fans. I wonder if they ever been to Turin the first place
Those guys honestly deserve it. They were acting all cocky and sarcastic throughout this entire transfer saga and pretending United fans were a bunch of delusional mongrel for thinking we could get Pogba back.The mood has really turned over there at Juventuz.

Pogba represents an ideal fit for Adidas now. He is a master of his craft but more importantly for the brand’s marketers he is the embodiment of individualism which is a huge appeal to young audiences. Adidas has admitted it needs to work harder to reflect how people view and discuss the beautiful game now, bringing personality and dynamism to its marketing that’s been noticeably lacking from parts of its communications in recent years.Why not? Pogba isn't as globally marketable today as you might think. He won't earn us £50m more the next year if he comes.
It's a yank forum isn't it?boofeckinghoo

I see, didn't realise it was only one signing for each year. Thanks!Bought in the same summer as Veron who was more expensive so he won't be included
Not sure mate. Still, they are fans of Juve.It's a yank forum isn't it?
Anderson is on the list but the list only shows the most expensive signing that season , not every signingWhere is Nani, Hargreaves and Anderson?
From that, it looks like early 2000's is when we were really investing in the club - our three biggest signings (compared to revenue) were all made between 2001 and 2004. Maybe now we need to play catch up for the lack of investment in the 10 years following thatVery interesting this.

You're conflating two issues and drawing an unsound conclusion here.Why not? Pogba isn't as globally marketable today as you might think. He won't earn us £50m more the next year if he comes.
If he became a consistent starter for us he would be.Would you say Nick Powell was marketable?
Not the most successful period for the club.From that, it looks like early 2000's is when we were really investing in the club - our three biggest signings (compared to revenue) were all made between 2001 and 2004.

We spent £60m on transfers in 2001...almost 50% of total revenue for that year. Would be like spending £250m this summerVery interesting this.

This logic is very flawed. I mean this board alone probably contains many people who have never been in Manchester let alone Old Trafford yet they are Man United fans. Just like us, Juventus are a global and massive club which attract support and fans from everywhere around the world including those who can't make it to United or Juventus respective cities.they are not hard core Juventus fans. I wonder if they ever been to Turin the first place
Ferdinand, Rooney and Ronaldo were bought in that period and contributed a lot to the success after 2006.Not the most successful period for the club.
Makes sense, I'd been long wondering how much they paid him when they stole him at 18, it couldn't have been a huge sum, so he must have a % agreed on a future fee. Makes you wonder if he and Raiola had been thinking about this for a while.Manchester will offer 125 million Euros, off which 100 million will go to Juve and 25million to Paul. This is because Pogba and Juve have a gentleman’s agreement in place, according to which, in case of a sale, Pogba will receive 20% of the proceeds.
I think the 20% is to Pogba and his agent. Not that both get 20% each.Wow. 20m to Pogba. 20m to the agent. How much does Juventus make from all these subtractions?
Raiola sure brokered an excellent first deal for Pogba, eh? Surprising that he's their highest paid player considering they have some of Italy's most important players currently. Although I can assume the likes of Buffon have probably taken a lower wage due to age recently...Pogba’s propsed new contract is 12 million Euros net for 5 + 1 years plus bonuses. Currently at Juve he gets 4.5 (6 including bonuses) and is the highest paid player. The difference is huge. Other signal – prior to departing for the Euros, he had cancelled his rental (?) near the Olimpic stadium. It was a sign that something was going through his head. Manchester will offer 125 million Euros, off which 100 million will go to Juve and 25million to Paul. This is because Pogba and Juve have a gentleman’s agreement in place, according to which, in case of a sale, Pogba will receive 20% of the proceeds.
Obviously he will have an impact on the reputation of the club, but what I'm saying is; in terms of sheer numbers of income through his marketability short term, that doesn't justify paying £100m for him. The original post was aimed at someone saying something in the lines of us paying so much money for him because he will earn it back for us through marketing.You're conflating two issues and drawing an unsound conclusion here.
Someone like Woodward will be exactly on the ball with how much money Pogba can generate via marketability. I'm assuming you're thinking only of adidas here, also, rather than sponsors and other brands who will want to be associated with the player and United now?
