I'm failing to see what all the doom and gloom is about. Pogba won't push for a move, so what? If Juventus accept our offer he'll join us.

For anyone to think he's over rated is insane. Every time I watch him he impresses me, OK the money in football is through the roof but I couldn't care less if we spend crazy sums on these players as long as they come.
The feck you on about. Would love him to sign and have never said any differently but I just fear it's going to be another Ramos or something. It was relatively straightforward with Mkhitaryan as he openly pushed for the move. All I'm seeing with Pogba is that he wants to come, then his first choice is Madrid, then a deal has ben agreed, then nothing's happening etc., etc., etc. It's clear that money ain't the issue on United's part so why the conflicting stories. I get that he's probably focused on the Euros and rightly so but still...
He is overrated partly because of his streaky brilliance and immense potential plus his overall persona. His age, potential and marketability all matter though. And certainly, if he fails, whether he was bought for 60 million or 100 will not matter much. Likewise if he succeeds. As I said before, incredibly difficult to justify 100 million plus for a player who isn't an out and out forward simply because it's much harder to measure other impact areas. But anyone disappointed with this if it happens has got be thinking too much..
Time to rewatch this
What a video.
He'll be a hell of a signing for both us or Madrid. His long range efforts are just magical.
Stop this muppetry.
Erm check which name I bolded in the reply ffs
He seems like a very ambitious guy, i can understand him staying at Juventus to play CL instead of EL with us.
A football players career isn't exactly long.

He's got massive point to prove if he comes back here.
Nothing surprising about that, never expected Pogba to hand in a transfer request. It was always up to Juve.
I just hope we have a back up plan is this doesn't come off, we definately need something extra in midfield.
If players have a desire to play in the Premier League, then United is still the powerhouse. We aren't the best on the field, but we are the biggest in England, we carry that romance and allure that few others can match. I agree that Barca and Madrid are probably the prime destinations for a footballer today, but to say you "cannot see why he'd come to Manchester" is such a defeatist attitude to have. If he comes to United, he's joining the most marketable league in the world, in the highest profile transfer ever, arguably (given the fee). It would do more for his brand than joining the others would, and I think being a superstar would be a big deal to Pogba.
He has nothing to prove here. Every person knows he should have played more for us and was good enough to walk into our midfield.
215 damn pages and he isn't coming. We ought to sue these journalists.
If somehow he ends up at Madrid, we should offer the money for Ronaldo instead.
This. We will do whatever it takes.
Its no bid to reject, as we are negotiating a deal. I have not read the Sky Italia news, but if they are saying that Juventus has reject us, its a bit premature tbh
Pushing to leave Juve would mean a transfer request, which would cause Pogba to lose his loyalty bonus.
Almost no players actually hands in a official transfer request these days.
Di Marzio already said we'd agreed to personal terms. This changes nothing much in terms of saga. Raiola trying to take the heat for Pogba here.
never!
this looks like happening. I expect Monday or Tuesday for announcement
I didn't want us to go over a £100m. That was a substantial fee anyway.
This 160m Euro figure is utterly ridiculous. Forget it. We'll try somewhere else.

Juventus don't willingly sell players unless the player asks to leave, do they? If Pogba isn't going to make his interest on leaving known I don't see why they'd let him leave. They rejected 80 Million for Dybala? Not to add, they're not exactly struggling financially.
Jose seems pretty confident.
Yeah this is what I heard. If pogba doesn't want to leave, they won't sell him no matter what.
Time to move on if that's really from Di marzio.
You want to blow £100m on Ronaldo?If somehow he ends up at Madrid, we should offer the money for Ronaldo instead.
At this point I'd rather spend it on Kroos and Modric.
..or Matuidi..which is more likely.
EDIT: and he wont be that expensive.
EDIT: and he wont be that expensive.
He also won't be that good.
Well Modric is the same age. Ronaldo would gaurantee us 30+ goals a season for at least the next 3 seasons.
Besides i was saying it half jokingly.
that is true. think the more likley is Pogba to United and Matuidi to Arsenal.
We could always try Vidal. What could possibly go wrong?
Take anything Amoyal says in his personal capacity around Juve departure deals with a huge pinch of salt. He's a Juve fan
Some of you ares so negative and defeatist. Nothing has changed from yesterday, except we know Madrid aren't after him.
And what Di Marzio said tonight is not new. He said before. Pogba won't agitate for a move and he's ok with staying. It's all about the £€$ we offer Juve. Very likely Juve have briefed this and trying to scare us into offering more. I can't see them turning down that kind of money. €120m is almost half their annual turnover
Exactly pfft weak Muppet hearts about
Lets start a poll of When Pogba joins us instead.
I predict Thursday the 14th
I predict Thursday the 14th
I don't believe he won't be looking for a move given the money being touted. It's life changing sums.
Agree. Which is why I think this is all Juventus posturing to try and get more money from us and to appease their fans
Oh come on, he's a multi-millionaire already. If Juve accept our offer, i'm sure he will come though.
If it happens, will be sooner rather than later. I predict within two weeks. He won't be part of the tour as he needs his rest.
