Well, I never thought I'd see the day that Real had to bow to our financial might. Amazing. Not usually one for hyperbole but this may well signify the beginning of the end of La Liga's stranglehold over the best talent. And the beginning of the end of our very existence as a species.

Wouldn't be surprised to see carrick there a lot.
I agree but I think he will play under Jose.
Don't think there is place for Rooney in first XI if Pogba comes. Not in midfield, not in attack, not on the wings.
That said, maybe we'll play 4-3-3 with Rooney and Pogba as b2b/AM. Would rather see Herrera in his place though.

Juventus have been in this situation before with Zidane and they know that noone is irreplacable, especially not for them as they are good at getting the right people in. I dont have the numbers but even if they are well beyond financially secure 100M will be too good to turn down.
I'm all in now.
Please let this happen.

I love it when people keep saying this. You are all going to be butthurt when the season starts, i'm going to love it as well.
He won't and it will be glorious
Pogba means 433 imho, playing 451 would limit Pogba. There would be no place for Rooney in a 433, as Mourinho has said himself hed only play as a 10 or 9. I don't see him getting game time upfront when we have Ibra and Rashford, both better players.

that stupid mega contract we gave him is going to make it impossible to move him. feck.

To add to the SSN video, the article is by Andy Burton, Huge development considering he's been on the ball with MUFC info since Jose arrived.

Juventus are a selling club anyway if the offer is big enough. Last year the board were full of pride that they made only made a small loss of £7m or so. Their average attendance is less than 40,000 and the Italian economy is on its arse. They might not have to sell to survive but know that turning down that kind of money for Pogba is just not sensible for them.
I know it doesn't mean much, but Sky Bet have taken real madrid off the list as well
It doesn't mean much in this scenario, but isn't a bookie stopping taking bets on something normally a sign that they think it is going to happen?
Rooney will start but Mou will drop him if he plays like shit. The days of Rooney being guaranteed a spot are over!!!
We've agreed terms with his agent on what would be an acceptable wage. That doesn't mean Pogba himself has agreed to the move.
It's on
what happened to his right arm?? I knew there was a reason they were letting him go!!
hm, how could Pogba stay ignorant of all this craziness?
If he wasn't interested in coming, he'd have ended this already.
I'm willing to bet that at least to begin with Mourinho goes with a 4-5-1 like this.He won't and it will be glorious

Pogba----Schniderlin
------Rooney--------
He's already said that Rooney has a special gift for scoring goals so he won't play as a CM and will instead play 9 and 10. I personally think Rooney will flourish in that midfield and will become a real favourite for Mourinho because quite frankly he's a far better play than this forum makes out. If he doesnt perform then that's the only way that Rooney will get dropped but that won't be before Rooney has had a fair chance to find his form.
Anyone that thinks Juventus want to keep him with 100 million the table is mad, they will be saving face with the fans. 100% Juventus have played this transfer to perfection, last summer he would have gone for half the amount.
We're gonna look like absolute mugs buying him back for such a huge figure, but who gives a damn, we're gonna be a beast of a team over the next few years if we buy him back.

I think in situations like this is the only time I care about the money spent. It'd be embarrassing as feck if we spend €100m on him and he doesn't live up to expectations, which is entirely possible if he's not used right, especially considering we let him go for free.
We'll see anyway. At the moment I'd say he's the perfect midfielder we've been looking for.

Then that makes zero sense, Rooney will 100% be playing number 10 and its fantasy to think otherwise. Pogba could be excellent as the number 8 behind him, just because he doesn't do that at Juve doesn't mean he isn't capable. Pogba is frankly good enough to play any midfield position to a world class level.
I don't want a player who wouldn't make it into the spurs first team.
Do.Not.Want
Spurs are on their way to wembley, Tottenham's gonna do it again

That's debateable. They don't want to sell the player but I think they would have a figure in mind based on the probability that prices are going up. He's 3 years younger then Bale. Under no pressure to sell, I seriously doubt they would have sold him for 50 million.
What a confidence boost for the £100M lad ahead of the final tonight
He has that swagger/confidence/arrogance to handle the pressure too. That use to be Ronaldo but now it's all about Paul Pogba !!

Euro have proved to the contrary. He's only been remotely effective when he pushes up. The deeper he plays, he less effective he gets.
This surely all but confirms it? unless other clubs start taking interest, but who could outbid us at this point?
Finally, we don't have to end every pogba post with "but he'll probably go to madrid". If we combine Di Marzio L'equipe and now Andy Burton stories, we are obviously right in the mix to re-sign pogba. The only issue now is a stubborn Juve, and I think that is going to be one hell of an issue.
Its not the 1960's anymore, technology exists today for people to keep in touch with each other without being in the same room.
You don't sign a £100mil player and limit him just for the benefit of Wayne Rooney
Mourinho is the last manager I'd expect to do this. And no, Rooney is a much worse player than people on this forum will try and make people believe. If given a chance I'm certain he will fail to perform outside a few instances his supporters will cling onto. He has shown throughout his career he can't be relied upon for an entire season, and his wages are astronomical to be a squad player. As someone's said Pogba would be on less wages than Rooney, despite being the most expensive player in the world!
Rooneys days are numbered.
On topic though, feels good beating Madrid to a player. Woodward you beautiful man.
Fair enough it's debatable, it would have been closer to 50 than it would 100 though.
Di Marzio reiterates that personal terms agreed with player and agent, not yet with Juve
Where is Glaston anyway?It's in Pogba's interest to see all the offers and make a decision when it suits him. By getting an offer from us he probably thinks it will push Madrid to make their terms clear. Agreeing a possible contract isn't "I want to come to you", it's "show me what you got son".
It seems moot anyway, if the stories of Madrid pulling out are to be believed.
Possibly, but I don't think it's the positional changes that have caused that, I think it's the tactical changes. Without writing a novel it's not about Pogba position but his freedoms within the system so as long as he gets freedom to join in the attack with someone like schiderlin covering then he will be able to find his best form even with Rooney. Who would you prefer to play that role? Honestly I think Pogba is perfect for what we need.
They turned down 90mil Euros from Chelsea last season, and City were continually linked with an £80mil bid for him.
I'm not saying he's not aware of what the terms are. Please learn how to read and comprehend. You can find terms acceptable without actually signing off on a transfer.
