I'm not trying to convince anyone ... and I already know what I think. As I've said before, I actually hope United do blow £100m on Pogba, or £150+m including wages. Some United fans like to pretend that this sum would be nothing to United, but in reality it would have a significant effect on your future spending capacity.

we just got night-light sponsor to go with our outdoor lawn furniture sponsor. We're Ophra rich, bitch.

It would not. Please take a look at our financial situation before posting in the future.
 
because it's about putting the ball into the back of the net. Kane does that. a lot.

He has done it for two years Ibrahimovic has done it at a far higher level for 15 plus years. The premiership has been awful for the last three or four years forgetting our demise, the quality has been really poor. Cant argue with Kanes goals record the last two years but personally by the end of the decade I bet it falls way short of the likes of Shearer, Cole, Henry, Aguero and other top premiership strikers and Of course Ibrahimovic who we are comparing him too.

Personally I think Kane is average and ludicrously over rated, that is just a personal opinion......but comparing him to even a 34 year old Ibrahimovic is simply laughable, that is a fact.

Suarez could only manage 31 goals. EPL is tough for strikers.
 
You're reading it reverse. In this composition, Pogba is the advanced one, TFM and Matuidi are supporting him as DM.

TFM and Matuidi play deeper than Pogba in my lign up

--------------DDG---------------
Valencia--Smalling--Bailly--Shaw
---------TFM---------Matuidi------
-------------Pogba--------------
Mkhitaryan--Ibra----Martial

Yeah sorry, read it wrong way round. I'd still play one of Carrick and Schweinsteiger in place of TFM.

We earn £500m a year. If we decide to spend a small proportion of that on one player (having made some pretty shrewd acquisitions already) then it's no concern to your green eyed little face peering through the window.

Admit it, you'd be ecstatic if the move fell through so you could bang your 'United chasing unrealistic targets and can't attract players' drum.

This is all you trying to convince yourself that United buying top class talents is a good thing for you somehow.

You're nothing if transparent.
 
Lots of knee jerking going on.
Pogba is not and will never be a deep lying midfielder. Deschamps lost his mind playing him in such a role.
He needs to be in and around the box to be effective. He's as devastating as Toure and Lampard in their prime but if you'd ask those two to play the role Pogba played today(and a few other times during this euros) they'd have been just as bad.
 
It's not my money . But if we really want to spend 100m on a player from juventus then I will go for Dyabala.

For all those who were saying pogba was played out of position , a player who is valued at 100m should do adequately even at deep position. He couldn't even do the basics right . I'm more than sure he wont solve our mid filed problems. From what I have seen pogba can be easily nullified ( even at his best position). He is not exactly a playmaker too.

Throw 100m or even 150m at PSG for Verrati if we really wanted to make a statement signing.
 
What you're really saying is that you don't like any opinion that suggests that Pogba is massively over-valued. Perhaps you just want happy-clappy posts that run with the herd?

I've previously said that Pogba maybe worth £50m, for a club that has lots of money and is willing to take a gamble. Otherwise, if Pogba is worth even a third of the £100m price being mooted then I'm a Dutchman ... and that's not just based on his tournament showing.

From what I've seen he rarely takes games by the scruff the neck and imposes himself, but instead seems to walk and jog around, make lots of sideways and backwards passes (often back to the player he's just received it from, as if he doesn't want the ball), with the occasional fancy flick or trick to usually no great effect.

He's big and strong and a good player, can drive forwards some times to good effect, but really not much more than that. For £100m you'd expect world class - the absolute crème de la crème - but he's not remotely that.

If he comes back to United and the Prem I predict he'll disappoint massively.

I think most agree the price is ridiculous but when Juve hold all the cards with Pogba having a contract until 2019 and the fact his agent is due a huge cut you can understand why the price is high, but the player has been in the serie a team of the season two years running so is clearly a very good player. And it seems United are willing to pay over the odds to get the player.

I wonder what value Levy would put on Kane if United came sniffing? Someone who had an even worse tournament and has only proved himself a good player for two seasons compared to four from Pogba. Yes strikers are generally more expensive but I'm just wondering. I'm pretty sure he too would be over valued but I doubt you would admit it. Same question for Dele Ali who was gash at the euros and has played one season in top flight football.
 
Love how having Rooney in the side effected Kane and Alli but Pogba playing out of position as a DM...
 
Juve haven't developed his game one bit. He still has the same deficiencies as he had when he was coming through our youth team. They've enabled him to play on pure talent alone by surrounding him by players that form a safety blanket for him.
exactly why he should leave and play for a proper coach
 
Sign him now please, would bloody crush it in a Mourinho midfield.
 
why? what's a full-back doing in midfield? just because he's big and black doesn't mean he's the next Yaya.

He is a fullback because LVG played him as a fullback in those few matches, he has been playing DM for the rest of his life.

LVG also played Blind as a CB, Rojo as a LB, Rooney as a CM and at some point Young as a striker. Get off the idea that TFM is a fecking RB, you need to be Dephilosophiesd
 
Outmuscled? For a player they don't really want? By a club that's playing in the EL next season and whom they'll have helped to bounce into massively overpaying for Pogba? I'm sure they'll be crushed.

why the feck would Real care if we overspend? :lol: We don't play in the same league or even the same European competition. This isn't House of Cards. It's fecking football. You have annual budgets. You spend within your means, you churn along. Jesus.
 
So....that was an anonymous game by Pogba tonight. Expected far more.

Nothing to do with basics, in a deeper positions, the other midfielders need to be available and create the link. They did nothing (Sissoko tried hard but was clumsy). Pogba is a statement signing, play him up there, and support him with good DMs. Zidane in DM would not give anything, 100M or not.
There's a reason why players have some roles.
 
Erm, why are people still replying to Glastonbury or Glaston, whatever his fecking name is.
He blew his cover a few days ago with this gem.



:lol::lol:

Man that shit is still funny a few days later.

Personally I think there is more sense in that post than the talk about Kane. I think Dele Alli can go on to be a world class player comparable with Pogba talent wise in a few years. But people saying comparing Kane to Ibrahimovic, even a 34 year old one is just patheric.

Can you provide me with some objective evidence that this would be the case, other than just talking about how £100-£150m is a lot of money?

Not many people have picked up on this, but by producing Rashford and TFM, amongst others, in our own ranks or through the reserves, we've saved a bucket load of cash which we'd otherwise now be spending on a younger striker and defender. We've been itching to spend a world record sum on someone, and haven't actually been able to, for the past 2-3 summers.

I don't believe spending £100m on one player would do anything significant to our finances or limit future spending ability significantly. In fact, we could probably spend 100-150m net per summer from now for a good few years.

Why are RM trying to get a champions league rival like Juventus more money?
 
Why do the mods tolerate Glaston?, all his posts are either wum posts, or posts putting down Utd in some way. Most users would get banned for that.

I guess to weaken a Europa League team, they must strengthen a Champions League team! Genius! And they'd have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for that damn meddling Glastonbury!

He's the perfect mixture between a WUM, United hater and pure entertainment all rolled into one. He's been kept on because of the entertaunment factor more than anything.
 
Don't tell me the accountant, aka the guy who isn't supporting United but is really worried about our spending, is back?
 
He isn't worth 100m Euros, but that has nothing to do with what just happened in this match. That being said, he'll be one of the best players in the PL instantly.
 
It would not. Please take a look at our financial situation before posting in the future.

I have. £150+m including wages is well over one-third of your total income (£395m) in your last published annual accounts (filed October 2015). Yes, your income has increased since then, but even so ...

Yes the payments and wages would be spread out into the future, but this comes on top of massive net spending on additions to your last title winning squad ... much of which also involves future payment commitments. Cumulatively this all adds up. Chickens come home to roost.
 
How would you describe it after he just scored like 50 in Spain?

Sterling and Sturridge or Messi and Neymar, not to mention all the players behind. The top two in Spain are way ahead of most of the other teams in Europe let alone there own league. Are you now going to start comparing Kane with Suarez as well? I have my personal opinion of Kane, rightly or wrongly, time will tell, but comparing him with some of the worlds best strikers over the last five years is frankly ridiculous, Im starting to think you are taking the piss, if you are serious **face palm**
