We have signed Bailly, Ibrahmovic, Mkhitaryan and now we are apparently close to signing Pogba. Woodward is the best thing to ever happen to this club.

I hope that Raiola perfected his chair throwing.
Great news!
Great news!
Even if that ia the case, we need a minimum of 5 year deal to have any negotiating power once he decides to feck off to the Spanish powerhouses. Imagine us losing him on a free again in his prime after we get him after spending 100 million pounds, it would be like a huge slap on our faces.
We overpaid for Martial even though he is worth it now. Overpaid for Shaw according to some he was worth it. Overpaid for Herrera, Mata and Fellaini.
We have a history of overpaying. But that comes with the territory at a big club. I don't care as long as we get the player.
Dont get me wrong it's certainly encouraging. I just think the excitement is all a bit premature thats all. People are acting as if its a done deal. Perhaps Vidal/Thiago sagas have hurt me badly!
Look usually I'm one of those I don't care, it's not my money. But 100 million sounds a lot.
Could you imagine Woodwood pulling these signing off if we still had LvG? I think a lot has to do with the pulling power of José tbh.
I think this'll be the first contract you'll have with a release clause just to ensure Barca/RM digs deep into their wallets
We definitely wont lose him on a free. Like I said though, as long as we are successful (get back to competing for UCLs) I think he stays for at least 5 years.
Holy shit!!!!
Tell that to Bayern as I think they didn't get the memo of overpaying if you are a big club.
Well this is a nice Eid present!
Pizza gets faster to your house then the police these days, but if we manage to pull this one off, Manchester United will well and truly be risen from the ashes in terms of being attractive with the last three seasons in mind.
Worst transfer window ever.
This. If you read Zlatan's book Raiola has a lot of the details hashed out long before the player knows anything. Obviously, Pogba will have to give it the thumbs up first, but Raiola will have worked out the terms beforehand if he sees an opportunity for the deal to go through.
As an aside, the agent Zlatan had before Raiola came with an offer from Southampton. Zlatan's reaction?
"What the feck? Southampton? Is that my level? Southampton!"
Think Jose is heaven with having a little tiger like Eddie eager to splash the cash on anyone and everyone he wants.
Is this the first time Di Marzio has jumped on the Pogba bandwagon?
To think some people didn't want Mourinho 
if we still had LvG, Romero would be our GK and the biggest signing of the summer would be Mane/Garay or someone.
if we still had LvG, Romero would be our GK and the biggest signing of the summer would be Mane/Garay or someone.I thought the same the first time that he would 'definitely' not feck us over and leave when he did after all we did for him. However, if history is any indicator I would not be surprised if he fecked us over again to get his ultimate move to Madrid or Barca.
I dont think we overpaid for Shaw imo, Chelsea were going to get him and everyone knew about his potential despite his age. He was a beast of an 18 yo.
Should we get him, we shouldn't fret about other clubs. We have to focus on ourselves and being where we want to be. A continued sense of ambition, the right management is a very convincing thing and where we'll be in 3+ years time who knows? We know where we'd like to be. Finally we have a proactive manager but it's early days. Of course he favors them two clubs...right now they represent the top but things can change. We can improve (i'm not waiting for never when the monopoly is broken up in Spain).
Pogba is set to become a huge commercial asset. He is already one but he is really going to explode soon. If we sign him, I think Rooney may be sold
Mourinho*
How much did they pay for Sanches again? Gotze and Martinez were hardly cheap. It's easy when your primary market is Germany and you have no competition in your league.
For a player like Shaw, we have to compete with three or four English players to buy him.

It'll be incredible business for Juventus, basically a 3-year loan with €120m profit. Cannot see them rejecting anything beyond €100m and it would be fitting really to get third client of Raiola in one window (Matuidi is also a possibility). Raiola will probably get paid €30m in one Summer by United, he must love us.
£100 million? Of course he is not worth that money, probably only about half of that but we are desperate, aren't we? If the club can spend this amount of money on a single player than why not, they know better what they are doing than us.
Some of our fans have been so desperate for success they cling on to the notion that transfers constitute some form of success or that they are an end in themselves. They justify the ridiculousness by claiming that this is the "norm". But oh well, this has been the way the club has been working for few years now and let's just hope we can at least justify it with some success.
Goddamn. If only I didn't see this. I need to go to bed!
Chucking £100m at a club, for a player worth nowhere near that, helps.
Well this is a nice Eid present!
Eid woodward?
Barcelona and Madrid won't be able to afford the £200m it would take to sign him.
We're leaving them in our wake financially. And now their murky government scam has been unearthed, it's not going to get any easier for them.
Sorry guys but as a Juve fan I still find all this hilarious!
And I'm a bit shocked that some of you are already discussing about his shirt number!
Last year he was a Barca player, a month ago Di Marzio talked for days about him to Real... now it's your turn!
Same exact story every year and then he always stays.
As I often said here on RedCafe, I believe that the same will happen this summer, for the simple fact that Paul is happy at Juve (today he tweeted about the "cool" new away jersey, a few days ago he thanked Juve on Instagram after they wished him good luck for the France game... to be honest I doubt that a player with the intention to leave would do this, I guess he would just stay silent and wait...)
We'll see if I will be right or wrong.
If he really leaves I will say sorry.
Good night everyone.

I have no clue what they paid for Sanchez but Martinez and Goetze were not over price considering one was from Bilbao who wouldn't accept anything less than the release clause and the other the pivotal from their fiercest domestic rival. Imagine us getting Aguero from City for 40 mil. Do you think that is overpaying?
Renato Sanchez is 40 mil plus 40 mil addon. That's 2/3 of 120 mil.
He'll be warming the bench next season along with Thiago, grumpy Ronaldo, and the several Wesley Sneijders we signed

25m to Raiola, no wonder he went all Dudley Boyz on Watzke and Dortmund!
If that's true, I see this happening 100%. Raiola will want that commission and will push this through.

I hear you, but then I remember CR7 saying he is staying and ended up at Madrid a week later...
Anyway I'm hoping we get him, lets see
