While I really want us to sign Pogba, part of me wants Saturday to come with no news.

The meltdown will be on another level.

Ohhh the fabled meltdown.
 
No doubt this has already been discussed to death at some point in the previous 741 pages but how come he's allowed take a holiday so close to the next season? All our Euros crew are back in training, right? What's the craic with the other Juve players who competed in the summer tournament? Are they all on holiday too?
Maybe something to do with the Serie A starting a week later than the premier league. Don't think they've anything like the community shield either.
 
:confused: is he still not on holiday.
Why is the club acting cheap ?

They've been cheap from the get go. €110m for a player of Pogba's profile? We should be demanding we pay €150m minimum.
 
couldn't make this up. It's not even funny anymore what they are doing. Simply embarrassing.
How can Sissoko or Verratti possibly be alternatives to each other? I mean, I know Sissoko had a few good games at the Euros, but come on
 
It will be probably be in Manchester, not in the USA.
Though like when Di Maria was signed by PSG, the medical can be in a foreign country.

I don't expect anything in 24, 28 or 36 hours.
Di Marzio cannot and should not be giving out timetables for world record transfers. He does not work for MUFC and is not included in the meetings (between Woodward, Juventus and the lawyers) - how on Earth would he know the exact timing of the Pogba signing/unveiling?
Exactly.
 
RM and Barca are probably the only ones who can realistically go for Verratti, since I can see him be willing to throw a hissy fit towards PSG over joining both of them.

None of our Euros players went as far as he did, to be fair. (Well I guess they did but Martial and Morgan barely featured). I think Wenger, for instance, is giving some of his players an equally long break- Özil, Giroud, Koscielny etc.

Yes, 60 pages of about 15 people having histrionics in an incredibly predictable and banal way will be excellent entertainment.
 

I hate clips. Its difficult to translate them and there's a small chance that some of my thoughts may end up mixed with what is actually being said. I apologise in advance if that happens. You might spot a mistake or two on the way.

"We're at the end of this deal, between Mino Raiola, Man United and Juventus. We knew that Pogba was probably going to United for weeks. In June there was interest from Real but even than Mou wanted him at all cost. At one time the deal was stalled because the clubs havent agreed yet on whose going to pay Mino. Juventus position was always the same. They want 115m for the player. United relented and had decided to pay Raiola's fee themselves. There's still a small detail ie that 5% on his image rights which are owned by companies who have helped develop Pogba throughout the past years

Zidane has said that until 31st august there's still hope. However he's as deluded as Gary Neville going into management at Valencia because by the end of the week United are aiming to close the deal and give Mou a great gift.
 
Why would you have a medical in the US? That's really weird.
We have facilities at Carrington, we don't need to do medicals in Miami, Boston, Madrid or wherever... but alright, if we do that, I will be surprised.

To sign off on the deal and leave him to enjoy the rest of his holidays?

I only ever saw him get the ball, run at defenders and lose the ball every time. It was good he was trying to do something, but I could go out there and try to be as good as Messi. If Real actually sign him because they couldn't afford Pogba it would be pretty funny.
 
Yet they can't afford the exceptional talent of Pogba?

I don't think they deem him necessary at the moment. Their need in midfield is more defensively orientated, and Verratti would fit that to a tee.

How old is Modric now? Look them go full stop for Verratti as his replacement when Modric starts to feel his age.
 
Ridiculous amount really. How much would Roy Keane cost today?
Something similar I'd wager, given he held the UK transfer record at the time and the EPL is the equivalent of Serie A as the richest league now.

Everyone was of course saying "4 million for Keane, what would Bobby Charlton cost now?" at the time.

Screw that! get him signed so we can all move our campers over to the Fabinho/Bonucci/Jesus thread
