Not a done deal, but the Di Marzio tweet has taken muppet sentiment to extremely bullish levels.
He also said that Juve don't want to sell, or are we just forgetting that part.
Who said Real would sign him? He may flatter to deceive, we may get impatient and get rid. Not inconceivable. Wouldn't be any shortage of takers for him after a couple of seasons underperforming and a cut price deal stop being a clown.
Put your shift in newbie!Mkhitaryan will be wide right or 10 I think can't see him playing any where else tbh also what do you have to do round here to get more than 3 posts a day on here ? the Caf is oppressing my muppetry and it's just not right
Ahh I think it was Tancredi, remember it being an Italian journo.
So you're saying my cock should be well and truly out?
Why can't Carrick or Schneiderlin be partner with Pogba? We had Carrick - Schools partnership and it worked brilliant. Kroos - Schweinsteiger against Italy worked fine. Pogba is also considered to be a player with a good work rate and willing to do defensive contribution.
Jose's team in Madrid didn't have a type of Makelele. Neither Busquest and Rakitic are type of Makelele style.
Money talks. We also said we dont want to sell Ronaldo. Dortmund said they dont want to sell Mkhi.
I never said they cant play behind Pogba.
Yes, you are right about Mkhitaryan. But if there is an utmost need & the push comes to shove, he has the skill set to play there & has already done so for Dortmund.Mkhitaryan will be wide right or 10 I think can't see him playing any where else tbh also what do you have to do round here to get more than 3 posts a day on here ? the Caf is oppressing my muppetry and it's just not right
Well, you have to make quality posts to earn some likes from the Mods/Scouts & that would increase you posting power in the mains. You can earn likes in the Newbie forum too, so if you run out of posts in mains, keep trying in the Newbie section and write some informational posts & you would earn the likes in no time.
Di Marzio is fairly reliable as compared to other journalists. However these things happen very fast and are unpredictable. I still remember SAF telling us fans in my local supporters club that Gazza was basically a done deal and he would sign him up once he returns to Manchester. We're talking of SAF here and not journalists.
If Real decides to match our fee then we're back to square one.

Right now NO, But that's something Jose is trying to put right, and we only have to look at the quality he has added this Summer. What we have right now plus Pogba would make us an instant challenger for the league IMO.
Was meant to reply @CS@SG sorry
Tablet is pretty sh!t even Rakitic turned to realistic due to auto correct.
I can understand the concerns about the cost. It IS a bonkers amount of money.
Baffled by the people who think he is overrated and not what we need though. He would easily be the best midfielder in the league.

Is there any chance the sums of money being talked about in the press are inflated? Or is this really a 120m euro deal?
Might not mean a lot - but isnt a bad sign
Base on the "analysis" of the fans here on Pogba, his best attributes are his attacking. In order to release that, isn't it best to have someone supporting him doing all the dirty jobs?
I keep thinking of that amount of money - it's insane - and getting worried. What if he breaks his leg? What if he's shit?
Then I think, it's Paul fecking Pogba, and everything's okay again.

Best hope for tonight: France lose, he scores two own-goals and gets sent off. I don't even want to think about where this story goes if he Travellers his cruciate ligament during a slide tackle in the sending-off incident.
I agree
Was it anymore crazy on the money Moyes spent on mata and fellaini? if united have the money and they want that player, lets just get him
Kicking a ball boy might bring his price down a million or two!
Yep - clearly you don't rate Neymar enough or don't watch regularly.
At a third of their revenues, id be shocked if Juve decided against the price.
If Pogba wants to leave in 3 years time like you are assuming, would we not get at least half the price back? and if we do, isn't that the same as buying a midfielder in his late 20's who would have little resell value? Not to mention, there is literally no-one like Pogba around.
Pogba's price valuation is probably made up of the following factors;
- How much is he worth as a player with his current abilities?
- How much is he worth as a player when fully developed?
- How marketable is he?
- How important is he to Juves team?
- How important is he to Jose's plans, is there an alternative with similar skill set?
Of course they don't want to sell. Doesn't mean that they won't sell though does it?
If we have reached an agreement with Pogba & his agent they can demand he be sold.
I guess there is no point to talk this even further if you haven't watch Pogba with your own eyes.
feck talk about blowing an offer out of the water
I think Schneiderlin can be that man. While Pogba is more of an "attacking" 8, and Schneiderlin is more of a "defensive" 8, I think that pair could be good for us.
What's wrong with what he said?
The money doesn't bother me in the slightest. It's not my money and its all relative in football. 30 million, 50 million, 80 million is all a hell of a lot of money. The cost / benefit analysis of signing Pogba given he reaches his expectations, and even including his wages, is going to make it worthy.
My problem is the principle of the whole matter. TBH I thought more people be it United or ABU fans would be talking about how ridiculous it would be to release a player only to resign them a few years after for a world record fee. It truly does make us look silly as an institution.
Having said that, I will not be complaining if we do sign him. If he does produce the form he is capable of I honestly believe he can elevate us to one of the best teams in Europe.

Moneymaking scheme:
1) Become a football agent.
2) Sign up TFM, Rashford, CBJ and any other young United player at danger of not playing under Jose
3) Let them run out their contracts then broker deals to good European clubs
4) Take a cut
5) Watch them become worldies
6) Sell back to United for massive profit
7) Take another cut
8) Sell on to Real a few years later
9) Take another cut
10) Go back to United's youth team and plunder the next generation
Either that or take over Juventus and generate even bigger profits

He used "people analysis" on the forum I rather talk to someone who has watched him.
I try my best to forget we should already have him for free (or whatever peanuts we paid him)
But I suppose you have to put that aside and realise what he's turned into while at Juventus.
If we buy him for 80-100m then he's either going to stay with us and have a fantastic career or we are going to sell him on for a fortune after hopefully winning a few trophies with us. I don't see him failing as a player is my point.

I know signing Pogba would be drool worthy and all... But how do "statements of intent" actually help us? Are they really what might turn other targets' heads toward Utd, or something that would get us another noodle sponsor?
Pogba and Lingard to be reunited
The situation in which he left the club was perfectly justified, as a youngster not getting game time and has proven the correct decision too.
It's a tad melodramatic to suggest he'd do it again after paying a world record fee and building a team around him.
But why does this matter?
Annoyingly, you now have to be a licenced lawyer to be able to be a football agent. Quite a bit of effort.
It's easier to keep your best players if you bring in top players who can help you be successful. There is no given, but you stand a better chance of success with better players. It's that simple.
And quality attracts quality. Take Mkhitaryan's "Mourinho is building an incredible team" comments upon signing for us. I expect it was the club that asked him to say that to send a message out to potential signings but it works all the same.
