I cant understand you sad fecks that harp on about the fee being £100m or whatever. Almost like Madrid won't come calling with a £125-150m bid in two or three years time. That vile muppet Perez won't accept us holding on to neither the transfer record or Pogba for too long.

Never trust a man with hands as hairy as that.
Firstly, your not in a position where you are in control of Manchester Utds finances (unless I've missed something) so do you really have so little faith in the people in charge that they can't manage the clubs money. If there's one area where Woodward and the club cannot be doubted it's financially as we have grown from strength to strength into a commercial beast so I'm sure these commercial men can control the transfer budget.
Secondly, there's not a chance in hell that we could get Griezman and kante for that price. Griezman isn't leaving unless we throw a huge fee at them because he's signed a new deal, is in a club environment he loves, under a manager he appreciates. Kante is attainable but as much as his name is banded about in this thread, he's absolutely not what we need.
Pogba is a unique player and has all the attributes to be one of the best CMs in the world in the next few years and that's forgetting the fact that he would easily be the best CM in the premier league right now and instantly turn us into title contenders and maybe even favourites. The market prices this year have exploded and while many fans might not be happy about that, that's the reality of the current footballing landscape, we can either get on board and throw around our finacial weight here and there, or we can get left behind and miss out on the top players.
Agreed, signing someone for our midfield would be foolish, absolutely foolish! I'd pay Juve to keep him away from our team.
They are but I would wait to see a tweet or something from beIN Sports because this could just be Keys wumming again.
Not going to belive Richard Keys on principle.
It'd be daft to break up their midfield, but they've done it in the past, with the exit of Makelele.
The theory is that they've had to sell big to buy big over the last few summers and if you look at their In's and out's it adds up.
Madrid wanting Pogba was at it's highest point when they were touting Morrata to the English clubs for 60 odd million and nobody went for it.
Coincidence?
beIN Sports have been quite reliable with recent news so they could be something in this.
Ahhh apologies. wasn't aware
If we sign Pogba we win the league so I'm not bothered about the price. We are going to sign a central midfielder regardless, why not get the best one available?
No smoke without fire, mourinho clearly really really wants him. Fits woodwards galactico signing he's desperate for.
If pogba is atleast half convinced we've got a massive chance.

If there's anything to it then surely bein sports will tweet or publish an article. I mean it's quite big news.
Get the feeling we are going to pay well over his true value....don't think he is worth £100m and his actual value is around £60m max
Yup. I take this with a pinch of salt unless beIN tweet or publish something about this.
They usually post this kind of news late I think I'm not too sure.
If we pay 100 million, we'll look back in a few years and think we got a bargain. I'm not worried about how much we pay at all.
How is his true value 60 million when players like Sterling go for 50?

It's not woy's fault Rooney kept giving the ball away either.
You cannot excuse his performance against Iceland. Comfortably the worst midfielder. There was a reason he got hooked. Totally stank the place out
It hasn't come from BeIN though, yes Keys works for them but he could have "heard" it from elsewhere.
He's on a wind up.
Perhaps we're paying well over his value to keep Real Madrid away.
I would normally say the same, but he tagged Bein sports.
Absolute rubbish.
We wont be signing Pogba. Better face it now to save looking a numpty.
He will move to Madrid after the euros.

Same, but I'm not that bothered really
We really, really need that special midfielder in my opinion.
Prove it.
Doubt it. Madrid based papers are saying they can't afford him.
Because we never got our big signing when Real was also involved...
If we can sell Mata, Fellaini and Young for a combined fee of £50m then that may cushion the blow slightly when paying £100m.
It's just a dance move called the dab.
Ruud?
Haha. I guess not. But you know how prone people are to taking things literally on the interwebz.
Only if you take it out of context like that. I didn't say "He's better than what we have, so sign him". It's not black and white.
The point was "Is X player that we are interested likely to improve our squad?
No : Then we're stupid.
Yes : Who cares what player X costs.
It's pretty obvious I wasn't advocating signing every midfielder that's better than our own. Nor was I suggesting we just pick a name out of a hat and think 'He'll do"
hope u never get promoted
Sounds like a marca tactic to lower his fee. Dark arts at work. Surely zidane fancies his countryman
Big Tony V.
that too
Bebe?
I am not excusing his performance. The whole team was awful, and when this happens it is usually down to the managers tactics.
Given our usual selling tactics we will be lucky if we get a swap for a banana and a couple of pogs for the three of them.
Not too bothered if we do end up paying a crazy fee for him. Him, Zlatan, Martial and Mhkitaryan could be massively entertaining.
This is one of those 'believe it when I see it.' So many reasons to think it won't happen
