Someone posted that this deal wont happen because Pogba said thanks when Juve wished him luck?
Pogba has manners... the deal is off!

They were unable to do this due to clauses. I do think Real are out of the race though.
Again, being overpriced is not the problem as I said that I understand the standard United tax. Pogba for 120 mil is laughable as it is beyond overpriced.
Who else is on his client roster worth raiding?
I don't give a feck about the money. If the club is offering it, they have it. The chance of a club with the popularity and revenue of United going tits up because of over-spending is extremely small, and it will take more than a summer like this to do it.
Is this a wind up? They'd literally piss themselves laughing. Honestly they probably wouldn't sell Verratti for double that.
Did Di Marzio ever say Real had agreed terms with Pogba?
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.
Listen here, he is going to leave eventually. Everyone knows sooner or later the lion catches the zebra and the zebra gets proper fecked so enjoy that thought over your morning mochachino
I do not believe he did
I said in another post that it is a moot point as I agree they won't sell but that doesn't make Pogba worth the money. For that kind of fee, I would get a Neymar type player who can win us championships on his own.
nope, the juve fella there is pure shitting it
Shaw, Pogba and Martial creating havoc on the left side, just imagine!
The splendor of Pogba, Martial, and Rashford working together
£100m+ for Pogba? Football has gone mad. Yet all the muppets are rejoicing, like they have no care in the world. It's one of the big reasons English football is behind the best of Europe - reckless spending.
I will not be happy (but hey, it's not my money, right?) but I desperately hope I'm proven wrong and Pogba, at that price, proves his worth to us. (Through performance and resale, if relevant).
Let this grumpy old man go to bed.

You are right. It's because they are PSG and they don't need the cash. However Juve will be laughing to the bank if we shell out that kind of cash. You know you are in crazy waters when Madrid balk at a fee.
I wasn't particularly responding to that point. You have a point about the new TV deal and what it means for the transfer value of players. I was however just venting my frustration at the desperation with which we have been conducting our business. It's been an endless stream of "you get a 30m and you get a 40m and you get a 60m". Some of our fans then like to claim that this is how everybody does it which is simply wrong. As I pointed out before, if only these measures bring success, they would be justified. As it stands though, for us and the rest of English football, they don't or at least, not enough which makes us look like an ugly rich bloke at a club waving the cash.
exactly what i was thinking
i dont remember di marzio ever claiming that Pogba agreed to join any club. Right now im just waiting for other sources to run this story.Well this is a nice Eid present!
Poor Mkhi...
Neymar type of player would be worth double of that. You know, this year is different than 3 years ago (we were willing to outpay Madrid back then but Bale chose Madrid and Spurs wanted him go abroad plus we had Moyes). This season PL minors can spend 30+ mil on a single player.
Nope.
Juve fans are just running scared.
English media and Italian media running with this. Mr banter calling it a few days ago. Someone met Ian Dowie and he confirmed it too. Paddy Crenard confirmed it. @Acquire Me has said we going to bid.
Not Balotelli anyway. Matuidi is one of his.
It had gone mad long back, we are just trying to take it to the next level.
Sanches needs to win the Ballon D'Or to get that expensive
Yes fair enough. It is part of why English clubs are nowhere near the cream of Europe. The belief that you need a 30m + player in every single position when the best teams in Europe make sure to have 2 or 3 game changers plus a strong tactical setup. Ah well, English football ...
Neymar's release clause was supposedly 150 mil till he just signed a new contract.
I thought you were a Liverpool fan.Its ok we got Zlatan for free
Am I mistaking you for someone?!You do realise foreign clubs have to pay tax on that release clause. It isn't simple as €150m and he is going to be ours. The Herrera and Martinez transfers weren't simple.
I thought you were a Liverpool fan.
Me a pool fan.... spits at floor, Sir how very dare you!!!!!
You are definitely mistakenThing is he doesn't want to leave = not agree principle with us. You can't persuade the player then feck with the money aka Bale mkII.
Dam you got skills. I laughed proper hard reading your post
Also, Mkhi did say that, "this year" we will have an excellent team. He knows Pogba coming. Has the same agent as Pogba
For sure it is a crazy fee but it depends how you value his worth.
As a player Pogba is not worth €120m, far from it. But he is at a very high level and he is exactly what our midfield is crying out for, the fee would in part reflect his potential to get even better considering he's only 23. Also it would have to factor in his marketability and lastly it's a statement of intent.
Yes there is tax and a bit complicated but that is why we have a battery of lawyers and why the Herrera and Martinez deals were able to be done without paying too much extra, if any. However the point is maybe I am not really as excited about Pogba for 120 mil as others are and I will leave it at that. Need to get some sleep now before another day in office tomorrow.
So why isn't Pogba a game changer? He is capable of dominating games.
Do you think Roy Keane wasn't a game changer because he didn't score lots of goals?

Add Lingard and the level of dabbing will go through the roof
Ha apologiesMe a pool fan.... spits at floor, Sir how very dare you!!!!!
EDIT: it's @Cassady I mistook you for!
That doesn't change the fact that players of his ilk are available for the kind of money being mentioned for Pogba. I will leave it at that for now. Goodnight guys.
The club always saw themselves has the biggest in the world, but at times they would sell ronaldo, and sign valencia, owen, obertan and diouff, think its about time the club really put a statement that they can attract players of the level of a pogba, that we thought was not possible. It would be a huge game changer seeing us spend that kind of money, and that does make players stand up that they're not messing around. But once again, is pogba wanting to come here? seems out of character he would want to return to united, his kind of ego seems Madrid type signing
And you forgot the important bit. Why would Neymar leave Barca to us currently?
Should we bid on silly targets again so people on here can laugh when they don't come.
