Caf should really have someone inside Carrington if we're that much of the forum, enough with the circus like sky, bbc, some italian spaghetti guy etc., we deserve to know everything in advance!
Paul Pogba | Undergoing Medical | Helping out the Laundry Ladies
- Thread starter KM
- Start date
Is Souness aware that Suarez is a forward and Pogba is a midfielder.
Which prominent Caf Poster deserves the honour of being our inside man?
This is getting ridiculous now the medicals they have to be a pub landlord take like 20 mins tops. Appreciated, for a footballer it's probably 3-4* that but this is seriously unnecessary.
I think they're just trying to wiggle and get even more money out of us by threatening to pull the plug on the whole thing after we've already announced a medical and Mourinho has said how amazing it will be. Slimy as feck.

I'm sure I read that we hold cash in dollars, euros and sterling so we are well placed whatever.
Are all those traders football fans or what? Funny.
This has come from tweets this morning that said it would be payed over 3 season.
Why doesn't it make sense out of interest?
That sort of critical thinking seems to have eluded him.
Souness'll say some things that start to make me believe he's a good pundit then comes out with tripe like this. He's odd.
I actually like Souness but I think you have to take any opinion with a pinch of salt, I think even United pundits you have to strip the bias from.
There's only one time Souness I didn't like what he said, I believe it was 2008 Moscow he said "I was talking to SAF around the time Sven was set to replace him, I said you'd be mad to retire", he then added "I'm not saying it was a result of what I said why he stayed on as United manager".
It came across as he told SAF to continue, although he covered his tracks almost immediately, I think a lot of the time hindsight is a wonderful thing and nothing in football is fixed in stone. Only time will tell what happens with Pogba.
I think what pundits don't state with people like midfielders is, a midfielder runs a game. A midfield is where a game is won. forget Goals, look at what Scholes did.

Now Jesse has a partner in crime for all those silly goal celebrations.
Seven from Juve Form said:
Flip, this made me laugh out loud.
Seven can't see Pogba making it into our central midfield. (not sure if serious)

Sure, but why should he let that get in the way of an opportunity to criticise?
Don't even know why we were so determined to hold on to De Gea. He's never even scored more than 10 in a season.
We might be paying in Euros but Brits and the British media are always going to talk about figures in pounds. I agree it's probably bullshit but the fee will likely be paid in instalments, however many years we pay it over doesn't make much of a difference though.
Anyone but that lunatic who was all about Pogba to Real or staying at Juventus will do!
Think this is fairly obviously taking the piss.
Don't have to be a fan to be a trader. However if you are a good trader you can buy and sell and make lots of mullah.
He's clearly not serious.

Yeah, that last bit made me think so too but he did say tbh. So maybe not.
Juve receive £89mil and Raiola's commission is separate.
I fecking love haters, it motivates me more because I know I'm doing something right
Read my post again.
Have I missed something?
Answer my question.
Can you link me or quote it?
€5M of the €110M is bonus if either of the two things happen:
- He signs a new contract in next five seasons
- He is sold for a fee of over 50M
I guess they assume a world record fee directly correlates to how many goals they expected to score.
Funny, I don't remember them giving a feck when it was Bale going to Madrid for stupid money.
If you read my post you would know!
People saying £30M per season for a €110M fee, it makes no sense.
what happened?
Of course Souess would go crazy if Pogba was going to Liverpool.
I have a strong suspicion that when we make the formal announcement, we'll also announce the transfer fee.
Glad I wasn't the only one, WTF.
How long does a medical take?
Does he have to run a marathon, then triathlon before climbing the Kilimanjaro while carrying his agent?
Aren't we normally told when players pass the medical?
Takes forever this...!

Nonsense, agreements will have be signed before medical.
Neither can I, too be fair. What with Scholes coming out of retirement
It's probably rounded figures. The final includes addons too apparently. Something about if he signs a new contract or if he's sold for over €50m Juve gets an additional €5m.
So around 35m every season sounds about right, no?
All this talk about medicals today - I wouldn't want to be the doctor telling Jose that I wouldn't sign off on the Pogba deal because I didn't like the look of his elbow
23 year old Paul Scholes was scoring about 10 goals a season ('97/98)
23 year old Keane scoring about 6 goals a season (95/96)
23 year old Gerrard scoring about 7 goals a season ('03/04)
23 year old Lampard scoring about 8 goals a season ('01/02)
Obviously goals don't tell the whole story, and I think Keane, Scholes & Gerrard were more influential at the time than, Lampard was and Pogba is currently.
But Pogba is certainly on a similar level to them at the same age, with a similar amount of potential to those calibre of players too.
I'd expect him to score a similar amount of goals too, somewhere in the region of 6-10 with a similar amount of assists.
