Consolation prize.Think that’s why he returning.
Real - or any other club - won't forget how his last two club spells ended in a hurry. Reckon Real would have preferred Zidane or Pochettino over him.Must be a glutton for punishment. Last I heard, Jose was on his way back there.
Pogba has two years left on his contract with the option of a third. Both Eriksen and Hazard only have one more year, so for me the other clubs are 'at threat the most' with the appointment as they risk losing their players for nothing whereas we can stand firm for another year or two. Gets a bit more complicated if we fail to qualify for the CL again.Before gloating about rivals losing their players, you guys do realize that Zidane is French and he wanted Pogba when we bought him, only for Perez to block the transfer?
Raiola or Pogba's brother (don't remember who) also recently said Pogba would leave United only for Real or Barca, if I am correct.
We are at threat the most with this appointment. Mourinho wouldn't touch Pogba with a 10 foot pole now atleast.
Yeah agreed, we are absolutely at risk too to lose Pogba given the french connection.Before gloating about rivals losing their players, you guys do realize that Zidane is French and he wanted Pogba when we bought him, only for Perez to block the transfer?

If they come for him, we can add extra on for what I consider an under-payment for Ronaldo.Yeah agreed, we are absolutely at risk too to lose Pogba given the french connection.
Considering how desperate Real are, and the kind of assurances they must have given Zidane, I think they might even be willing to splash 150 mil if he really wants Pogba. We aren't that safe really.Real - or any other club - won't forget how his last two club spells ended in a hurry. Reckon Real would have preferred Zidane or Pochettino over him.

Definitely. Especially if we don't make it into top 4Same thought crossed my mind. Real are probably the only club who can turn our players' heads and while I'm not saying Pogba or Martial or anyone will all of a sudden want to go to Madrid, the fact that Zidane's got the job rather than Jose certainly does increase that possibility.
Also the small matter of Jose being fecking useless, may have come into it.Gone for Zidane over Mou because im pretty sure Hazard would never join if Mou was in charge.
I think 150m would be similar to the price for Ronaldo, appears reasonable but given the potential years of service and marketing potential would be a bargain.Considering how desperate Real are, and the kind of assurances they must have given Zidane, I think they might even be willing to splash 150 mil if he really wants Pogba.

If he wins the champions league again this year, then he really is something special.
Don’t see why everyone getting worried. I’d say their attack and defence needs improving first before midfield. They also don’t have a billion to spend. So not like they going to buy every player like in 2009.Real - or any other club - won't forget how his last two club spells ended in a hurry.

I imagine we'd hold out for more. £150M was the price Spurs had on Eriksen's head and Pogba is younger and more marketable with longer on his contract. Real don't have a bottomless budget either. Think the only thing for certain is that they'll be in for Hazard.Considering how desperate Real are, and the kind of assurances they must have given Zidane, I think they might even be willing to splash 150 mil if he really wants Pogba.

What kind of legacy is that though? It's a shitty legacy when everyone assumes it's unrepeatable luck. He's ruining nothing.why risk ruining your legacy?
Plot twist: Ronaldo leaves Juve in the summer, to rejoin Real Madrid.Without Ronaldo he’s fecked.
It's rewind time.Plot twist: Ronaldo leaves Juve in the summer, to rejoin Real Madrid.
Massive mistake on his part. Madrid are on the post galactico downward spiral. They did it in the 2000s and its happening again, the squad is full of ageing stars on the decline and their underwhelming replacements. They'll probably buy one or two massive money players but it won't make much difference. They need a complete reset.
If i'm wrong and he can turn it around then he truly is something special.
This might be Steve Jobs going back to Apple. Zidane has an aura that is special. It might turn out to be a disaster, but it might become the best thing since sliced bread. I'm definitely watching though.Massive mistake on his part. Madrid are on the post galactico downward spiral.

And Pogba.Hopefully raids the PL. Hazard and Salah for starters.
No, no, no and nooooo. Please no. Another Sanchez.Ed Woodward likes this.
Revolution? What revolution? Who the heck he think he is? Ole? Nope. HihihihihihihiFlorentino has accepted everything Zidane asked for, which is not little. There will be a revolution, little by little, with a few surprises
And where are they getting the money from? They would still need another midfielder and a bonafide striker.I imagine we'd hold out for more. £150M was the price Spurs had on Eriksen's head and Pogba is younger and more marketable with longer on his contract.

You think? He's been begging them to buy him for years and they haven't looked twice at him. I know Ronaldo isn't there now but the impression has always been they're not really interested in him.I imagine we'd hold out for more. £150M was the price Spurs had on Eriksen's head and Pogba is younger and more marketable with longer on his contract.

how massive can they spend in light of FFP?Hazard. Maybe Eriksen/de Ligt? He's a huge Mbappe admirer, but I doubt they'll get him from PSG - not now anyway. Ditto Neymar.
One things for sure, Madrid will spend massive this summer.
I heard Lewandowski always dreamt about Madrid.And Pogba.
