I can't see them wanting Darmian. They have Lichtsteiner and just recently signed Dani Alves. Probably happy with Evra too. If we give them a player, they'd want one who can actually start for them. If they see Memphis' potential, they may be swayed - although I hope we hold on to him for another season anywho.

I think you have top players for sure, but have to question how many more years the full backs have in them. You can invest much of the potential Pogba money in a beastly striker alongside other areas yeah. Perhaps Lacazette/Lukaku, or even Aubameyang can be tempted for the right price. With £100m I think you can do a lot.
Well many rumors have them already interested so while it might seem last minute in reality if they do sign him it will mean they have been after him at least as long as we have.
Castles yet again felt he had to put in a mention of Renato Sanches I see, what a div.
Not sure why it's necessary to pay attention to what Redknapp/Collymore/X/Y/Z has to say about our transfers or transfer fees for that matter.
Do I think we should be paying 100m for Pogba? Absolutely Not.
Does the manager think we should be paying 100m for Pogba? Apparently Yes.
Does the club think we should be paying 100m for Pogba and they can afford it? Apparently Yes.
Jose will be judged on his signings (and obviously results). So if X is signed for 50/75/100m but he flops, then surely Jose will fall on his own sword! Until that happens, who cares what I think or X/Y/Z says or thinks.

I think if Pogba will move, it'll be done within the next 2 weeks.
We should just buy the whole club then take who we want
The fax machine at Juve has already been tampered with.
The deals been done in Morse Code.
Well let's see how my track record goes. I know how you guys feel about false dawns and I share the same views.
Put this way I can make a few phone calls today and be paid for what I know, outside of transfer news. Players and wife's etc but I am not about making money out of people's privates life's.
I'll only share what's relevant about United and what I believe to be solid. I have family members who play in the game. One at Millwall and another at West Ham who's meant to be the next Joe Cole! Better even.
Judge me after the Pogba deal. Thank you for the heads up.[/QUOTE]
And I'm sure there are rules against people acting like cnuts. I guess you're the exception!
I'll come back for you after.
With all due respect to juve. 100m is an offer you cant refuse, it's too good for you regardless of whether or not you need the money.
Juve imo has accepted the deal, it's on pogba hands now

Di Marzio said a couple of days, we already have an agreement in place with Pogba and it was in Juventus's hands.
Where is the white text?
We would be paying them 1/6 of their value if we buy Pogba!
Spend 770m euros to buy the club, keep who we want to keep and sell off the stadium and we make a profit.
Easy
Guillem balague looks like the dog whisperer.
Think that's been changed to agreement in place with Pogba's agent from what I've read. I think Di Marzio clarified it too, but I might be wrong.
I believe it all depends on Pogba wanting to come back or not. I don't see Juventus rejecting 120 mil euros.
But if the agreement is with the agent isn't that really with Pogba then? Surely Raiola is working under order from Pogba?
Correct, the agreement with Raiola is only valid if Pogba agrees. Which means that this side is ok. Careful, Raiola can have an agreement with Real too. It's just done to agree on basic contractual items, and to make sure Pogba is on board. Which leaves the other side of the equation, Juventus transfer bid. So far, we are been told, through the only one here who has a relevant info, that they would be keen to accept, whatever their PR department let their fans believe.
Which makes things interesting.
The main point would be to see how Juventus will handle the PR. So far, they want the player to take the "blame" by handling over transfer requests. On the Pogba side, they would prefer a spin like "Juventus saw the money and thought it was too good so it's not me".
Tbf it was the other way around, he was a midfielder originally. Although he is obviously an inferior midfielder to Pogba as of now
Eventually people will realise that Herrera and schniederlin aren't a title winning combo. Our two best midfielders last season were carrick and fellaini and most want at least one of them gone!
As for blind, his best position is cover for left back.
Lets see the team working under a manager whose got an idea of the EPL first shall we? Also Carrick is kept as an experienced stop gap until the new setup is put in place. Fellaini is a no 10 whose not even very good in that role let alone in a deeper role

Balague latest article. Nothing really that new though does say Madrid will need to act fast.
Edit. I'm not here to slate Balague. I can remember when everyone hated Castles yet he was the 1st person on the Pogba story.

They're just buying time to save face.
But accepting a 100m player isnt anything to be ashamed off. It's an offer only laughable for messi alone and probably neymar
No he wasn't.
That makes for some pretty grim reading in general, but towards the end of the season we looked far better with fellaini in midfield than those other three.
Pogba looks the real deal. Would you have bought Ronaldo for that amount? I wouldn't. But now looking back he'd have been a steal.
Clubs look back at trophies. The rest unless you go into bankruptcy is inconsequential..
That's subjective. But dollar wise 100m is alot of money.
It's too good of an offer for everyone else not named messi I'd say from selling club perpective.
No matter how good pogba is juve can buy a whole new 11 with 100m.
But we're does it put us? I don't care about Juventus.
We hated Castles when he had no connection to the club and was Wumming (like Balague now).
With Jose's arrival, his mouthpiece will obviously be reliable.
No wonder the fee is so high. Giving an agent 25% of a future transfer fee is ridiculous.
With that clause, we didn't have any chance keeping him in the first place.
So what? No one's listening.
My point exactly.
People believing sources when it suits them. Still can't see what Balague said wrong? Pogba prefers Real ? Well that's obvious.
People need to look beyond the fee. Whether you think he's currently worth £100m is by the by.
Does he have clear potential to be worth that in 2 or 3 years?
If your answer to the above is yes then he's worth it.
Think Martial. Was he on paper worth £36 last summer based on his career to that point? No chance. One year later and he'd probably fetch at least £50m.
Pogba's more of a known quantity so it's different but he's still only 23, nowhere near his peak, and already one of the best midfielders in the world.

As much as footballer wages are ridiculous, at least they are being paid for their talent - why should an agent get such a big amount, they are just a broker.
If Pogba was still our player and at his current level would people want to sell him to Madrid for £100m? Hell no.
