Poor Madrid, they are so used to having their transfer targets kick up a fuss for them and force a move while they can just waltz in and sign them. They really weren't used to the fact that Pogba actually chose us, and then stayed silent while letting his agent do all the work for him.

I don't think the board there really want him. Zidane does. Let's face it, if Pogba's name was Pogbanito or if he was Spanish/South American they'd have gone all out to sign him. Just last year Iker Cassillas' agent Santos Marquez claimed that Perez 'does not like' black players but also insisted that he's not racist.

According to "Sport Mediaset" he'll do his medical in Miami today :D

Saw this on twitter earlier, not sure how true it is but would make sense as it fits into the 48 hour timeline

I assume medical today and fly over to Manchester tomorrow to sign contract.

Who was the last black player of African or Caribbean descent to play for Real? I honestly don't know. That bloke who went to Everton maybe

Edit: Royston Drenthe?

When they truly want one of exceptional talent like Neymar, Suarez, Bale, Ronaldo etc. they always find the money.

Except all those were selling clubs except maybe us. PSG isnt a selling club. Even if Barca were willing to offer £100m, thats like pocket money for those guys. Whats there incentive to sell? They are also building a team to win the Champions League, so why would they strengthen a rival? And Verratti's contract isnt an issue either. He still has 4 years to run.

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.

Is here even a need for him to fly in to sign the contract? get one of the Glazers to pose next to him in Miami.

Brilliant :lol:
 
As an aside, do people genuinely masturbate and expose themselves over signings or is it entirely a weird mildly homoerotic meme?

The player throwing a hissy fit might force their hand. Both barca and RM are perfectly capable of tapping him up.
 
I wonder if tomorrow is a realistic target for an official announcement?
I'm guessing he would need to have his medical here before returning to Europe.
 
So happy hate Madrid so much there so jealous of are shiny new toy :drool:

The Real Madrid and Pogba link has been really strange. It's all come across as half-arsed from them. If they were seriously interested in him then they would have made every effort to sign him earlier, before we agreed terms with him. But if they never had any serious intention of signing him then why do the Spanish press persist with mentioning Madrid? It does them no favours, just emphasises the fact they've lost out to United, which surely they'd prefer to avoid. I'd have thought if they knew they were going to lose to us early on then they would tell the press categorically that they have no interest in him and leave it at that. Zidane should have kept him mouth shut too.

Perhaps Real Madrid were counting on Pogba turning us down and making a big song and dance about wanting to join them? Could explain it.
 
Once he signs we need an Olly gif with Zidane crying and begging perez while Mourinhio and Woodward walk off into distance with Pogba
