I too am past the point of no return, and I'm at my most doubtful right now.
We just need to get the Spanish government to not fund this.If one half of the Spanish mafia is involved, this time Madrid, we simply wont get him. I can only see us getting a clear run if they arent bidding. Part of me wants us to go for Kante and Matuidi
4? More like 6.Two Raheem Sterlings or one Paul Pogba?
Two and a half Andy Carrolls or one Paul Pogba?
4 Jordan Ibes or one Paul Pogba?
Etc.
I did actually say I would like to see Pogba come. We could get better players for cheaper and would improve the team more than Pogba. This is setting a dangerous precedent for our future transfers too.
Who? Not a dig, but a few have said this but I haven't seen one viable name yet that is in the class as Pogba.I did actually say I would like to see Pogba come.

I love how some people seem to think they know what his first and second choice preferences are.
The actual facts are:
- He has said he loves the club and Manchester, and has many friends here.
- His wages will skyrocket with us.
- His Dad has said they are looking to join a better league.
Yes, Real are an attractive option right now, particularly as they have an excellent squad.
However, the PL is the most prestigous league. He has friends here.
We will likely offer him more money than Real as we need him more.
That may seal the deal.

Awful maths.Two Raheem Sterlings or one Paul Pogba?
Two and a half Andy Carrolls or one Paul Pogba?
4 Jordan Ibes or one Paul Pogba?

Why would Madrid need to drag it out or sell players to get funds together? They aren't in financial difficulty. They could bid for him now if they wanted.Let's not forget Raiola is on our corner on this. He will be trying his best to get him here, I am sure of that.
I don't think its going to be a quick settle on this though, Madrid will drag it out and sell players to get the funds together. Could go all summer.
I'd probably replace Cesc with Benzema.Pedro wasnt really a saga and it wont surely wont be in the top 5 - Thiago, Sneidjer, Vidal, Fabregas and Hazard.
Yeah. It would be amazing if Pogba came.Hope to god it is but you know what Real madrids president is like, he has to have a shiny new galactico toy every transfer window and I think it'll be pogba again
Yeah I'll be happy with either too would prefer pogba obviously but matuidi is more than satisfying but I'm struggling to see it tbh. It'd be an amazing signing if we could get pogba though
I don't know how Matuidi will improve the united midfield, he will add to the scrap heap of our average engine room, I look at our options it is average, carrick, bastian, morgan, I look at fellaini, herrera and mata who are no10's, even signing pogba I think united need another, as carrick and bastian for me should both have left
Nice.That last one has to be Rooney. Someone told him it was a meeting place for people who like the old lady.
? Jose said 4 key signings. If after signing Pogba we go in for Matuidi all the better.Why not both?
Yeah, Ballagues is basically Real's mouthpiece in the UK so they are constantly using him to spin any story to suit Real's agenda.
His reporting is hit and miss, but mostly just bias to Real.
They are in quite a bit of debt. Not being funded by the Spanish capital as they once were either, they won't be able to splash 100M as easy peasy as we can.Why would Madrid need to drag it out or sell players to get funds together? They aren't in financial difficulty. They could bid for him now if they wanted.
He didn't say that would be the end. He just said 4 key positions then he could relax. Then the market will be open and see what happens.? Jose said 4 key signings. If after signing Pogba we go in for Matuidi all the better.
And dubious reasoning.Awful maths.
Did he say signings or 4 key positions?i'm sure he said positions which doesn't necessarily mean we will be keeping it to just 4 signings.(Correct me if i'm wrong).? Jose said 4 key signings. If after signing Pogba we go in for Matuidi all the better.
Pogba is not worth 100M, because he tends to disappear from the games too often. Plus playing at Juve in the Italian league is similar to playing with PSG in the French, does a bad month or two, impact their title chances? Obviously not. It's a marquee signing like Di Maria was.
I dont consider him average. I dont consider Morgan or Kante average either. Im just considering options because basically Pogba as it stands is still a reach.
I don't understand? Are you saying the transfer will go ahead regardless?
Jose said 4. Declan says 5.? Jose said 4 key signings. If after signing Pogba we go in for Matuidi all the better.
By Real's mouthpiece, I mean Ballague is drip fed what Real want put out.Not sure about that, he's always fairly transparent about how good Barca is, and how much Messi is evolving versus Ronaldo struggling.
If he was RM mouthpiece would he be saying that? he works for Sky.
He is your typical if united were after him, he is the player we want, more than the player we need. A classic case of quantity over quality, there is the saying you get what you pay for, and fellaini, bastian, are your classic cases of not what we needed, same will apply with Matuidi
I don't understand? Are you saying the transfer will go ahead regardless?
...and have zero flair and creativity, which is exactly what we lacked last season and since fergie left.I have to disagree, he plays in two top sides and is a strong box to box player. I wouldnt put him in same category as BFS or Morgan. A French midfield of Kante, Morgan and Matuidi would be very solid.
Maybe we think spending 100 million on the likes of kante, mahrez and payet would represent better value instead?Amazing that 22% of people wouldn't want Pogba, thats just incredible to me. I'm guessing they are the same people who didn't want us to sign Bale last season because hes 'overrated'. Get your heads out of the clouds, if we have a chance to get Pogba it should be our top priority and an absolute no brainer at any price. Anyone suggesting we sign Matuidi and Kante instead should be banned from watching football, not even remotely similar players and a million miles away from Pogba as a player.
I am very aware of how Di Maria plays. He would never make it in United. The Premier League is not for him, and he's not good enough to be the main moderfecker. I feel Pogba will be the same, he will do fine, but it's not good enough to lead United to titles. Granted, very few are. I personally believe, the best bet is Bale.But Di Maria wasn't a bad signing, he just didn't match up with the awful football we were playing. Sign him under Jose and it would be a totally different story.

If only that was the poll.Maybe we think spending 100 million on the likes of kante, mahrez and payet would represent better value instead?
Be prepared to bow down to Madrid etc forever more then so.Maybe we think spending 100 million on the likes of kante, mahrez and payet would represent better value instead?
