Paul Pogba | Undergoing Medical | Helping out the Laundry Ladies

Who is the English guy? He states at 5.12 mins. that "Chelsea have the money, and are in the Champions League", and basically suggests that Conte is a better manager than Mourinho, so Pogba clearly would have moved to Chelsea if the Italian fancied him as a player.
All of which is wrong on so many levels, but I wasn't aware, to focus on just one inconsistency, that Chelsea had qualified for the 2016-17 Champions League?
Quite remarkable that such dick-wits can earn a living from spouting such ill informed arse-water.
With respect do you guys think that players are like items on a shelf in the supermarket where we can say oh Pogba is too expensive let's just hop of Atletico and buy Griezmann for half the price? If it worked that way don't you think Woodward would have done that already? Its clear in this instance that a lot of ground work has been done to get the player and the agent's buy-in which is why he is the only one we are apparently targeting. One could argue that we could spread the money and buy three players but we've already done that over the last three summers and spent an equivalent amount on Herrera, Fellaini and Schneiderlin which didn't do much for us. If he comes in and elevates our team I would say he'd be worth his weight in gold.
Pogba may come or stay at Juve, whatever.
We've got Mou.
We've got Mou.
I believe his holidays should take a back seat to me being given assurances over his future plans as regards his chosen profession.
Can he play in central midfield?
it annoys me so much, because it's the basis of his entire argument
. "if conte wanted him they could have had him, Chelsea are in the champions league, United are not" Jesus does that boil my blood
I don't mean to dampen the mood in here but it baffles me how people cannot separate a transfer that may actually happen from a transfer that is just being proposed by media to get more and more clicks on their articles.
When you see these reporters/agents/news outlets playing on both sides you know everyone is just talking out of their rear and trying to lure fans into a trap. Random bullshit about seeing a house in manchester, followed by more random bullshit about player's mother saying something to reporters and then player telling his friends about what he will do, Di Marzio saying agreement with Paul but Juve doesn't want to sell and Pogba wont ask to leave, Ballague saying huge offer tabled but Pogba wants Madrid and Raiola too talking in vague terms when, for Mkhitaryan, he was so darn clear that he will go to United. Everyone is writing but at the same time making sure people do not point at them when transfer doesn't really happen by putting in these terms and conditions. So basically no one knows anything and are just trying to be in news by dishing out these stories. It is all so similar to Ronaldo, Ramos, Thiago sagas etc and I have no clue why only a few can see this.

Hmmm. A very bleak summation there but sadly also probably quite accurate.
How old is that video of Jose playing? Dude has skills!
What proof do you have that this is a transfer that won't happen? Bearing in mind that if we're in for a midfielder say - and if the Euros wasn't a reason for any potential delay - what's taking so long? We've been linked to Matuidi and Pogba (also briefly that monoco fullback) . We were linked to that young mexican that's been denied. Why would it take so long if the person we wanted wasn't involved in the later stages of the Euros? There's been no mention of other bids. Nothing. We know theirs a fourth player...
Ian Herbert is at it again. City are bastions of planning.
Herrera and Schneiderlin aren't lost causes yet though and Pogba isn't yet the world class player that his potential fee suggests that he ought to be. People's muppet fantasies mustn't override reason, he will be under unreal pressure to deliver considering that central midfielders aren't headline grabbers like forwards, playmakers and wingers to cost so much.
So better then Rooney then.

Makes you wonder how a guy that doesn't know stuff like that works as an english football journalist.
Half of them really don't have a clue.
Ballague says in the clip he is going Man United, that's not a flippant thing to say. if it doesn't happen its another blunder on his head
I have listed down my proofs in my posts. Do read it again especially the points about how popular sources in media are presenting this story. It has happened far too many times for people to fall for it.
Naturally.
But end of the day nobody really cares, he can explain it away as a last minute fall out, and people will keep reading what he writes.
Yes. Exactly. He has done blunders before. Mostly despite knowing little because if it happens then he is the king and if it doesn't then he will get some other transfer right someday.
Not feeling any sort of anxiety, disappointment, etc of the Vidal, Thiago, or Ramos (less so) sagas, I'm seemingly just not bothered about us signing Pogba, so if we are going to drop a world record transfer fee on someone then let it be someone who is worthy, he imho is not.
If we truly are offering what has been reported, then if Juve or Pogba are even blinking at accepting then they are almost as bigger fools as we are offering it, lets just walk away and buy someone else please.

other worrying part is they all seemingly agree with his sentiment and logic and clearly also don't know Chelsea aren't even in League cup 3rd Round yet, muchless Champions league
Imagine if he's just further sacrificing his credibility simply to troll gullible United fans. It would be rather sad days.
My friend that's not proofs. That's opinion. We've seen nothing to suggest much of anything but after a long period out of the game, I don't think Jose is still thinking about who he wants. We have to be after someone. It's even more so a midfielder, when he makes a point about Rooney not being one. It could be someone else, but I'm not seeing why we'd be delaying anything. Clubs aren't exactly rejecting bids. There is nothing to suggest this is just speculation - though it could be
.I'm beginning to lose it. Why do people have this insane opinion that paying a world record fee for someone only has to do with their footballing skills at this current moment? Like "omg don't spend 100M, use it elsewhere!!!!". The club wouldn't offer this type of money for a player if he wasn't going to add the value back into the club. Stop judging everything just by fees. When you go after the cream of the crop players across the world, you have to pay extra for their value off the pitch.
No player beside Ronaldo and Messi is worth anything close to that but considering the desperation of the club and the resources at our disposal it's easy to arrive at such a figure. If we weren't desperate we wouldn't even be in for him taking into account how he left. There is nothing strange about rich clubs pahing over the odds for players particularly when they are looking bust themselves out of a slump or grow their team in a short space of time - if it works no one talks of the fee (see Martial and Ronaldo) and if it doesn't it will be drowned out by the noise of other new signings, results on the pitch or another Rashford taking the country by storm.
I do not know what proof I can give you other than an opinion based on facts and past events. I will be as happy as any of you guys if this goes through but I just do not think it will happen. Lets hope I am wrong.
he was also equally vague about zlatan. these comments show nothing frankly. It could also very well be agent's ploy to play down interest after request from our end.
Not only Di Marzio, but L'equipe, probably one of the most reliable French media, reported that Pogba has been discussing the United move. And Ramos transfer was very real. We just didnt meet Real's obscene valuation, which we seem to do for Pogba
For people who care about these sort of things:
Valencia followed Pogba on Instagram apparantly

It matters more if a player starts following a club on social media. Less so the other way around.

It's quite funny I think. I mean they probably realised after they finished recording and all went...'oh shite...' but you couldn't re-take everything since costs too much, take too much time.
What's wrong with the way he left? He didn't extend his contract because other club offered him better conditions. So what? He was one of the most promising players in our academy but even though all midfielders were injured, we decided to play Rafael in midfield, bring back Scholes from retirement. I can imagine he wasn't very happy about it and rightfully so.
