I for one couldn't blame him for Leaving at the time. we were all pissed at fergie during that match, especially because we bloody lost. We also at the time laughed at his going to Juve for game time because back then they had pirlo, marchiso and vidal and figured he had a snow balls chance in hell yo break through to that midfield

Yeah fair point, it does highlight that we really shouldn't be looking to these people for an insight into what is happening with the Pogba deal then.We're like a clingy ex-girlfriend that won't let go... Let's move on now! It seems to me that he doesn't really want to come back. Let's focus on other midfielders.
Could be worse, could be Leeds...
That was bloody hilarious tbf
Though it did make me briefly sympathise with Leeds fans 
If you have a clingy ex girlfriend offering you £300k a week to go back to her, do so you damned fool. Especially if she's in the top 10 most attractive girlfriends around. #analogytortured
Kroos, Kante, Modric, Rodriquez, Matuidi, Barkley, Alli, Koke, Niguez, Isco, Carvalho, Gotze, Alcantara, Rakitic, Neves, Calhanogulu, etc.
Yes all not ideal, but I would argue that all could be bought for less than Pogba, most for much less, and I would also argue that many are better, the Pogba tunnel vision is just a bit daft imo.
You clearly misunderstood what I meant, I'm not saying he was at fault for seeking out greener pastures but its a big climb down for the club to make him a target after we let him go for free, if we weren't in desperate need of a big signing he'd be the last player we look at.
You could be right but they don't really have a midfielder with physical attributes like Pogba though do they? hey went away and bought James Rodriguez which they didnt need at the time ?
I don't think they are short of money.
There's no doubting this "he might stay" business is to stop United low balling now Real Madrid have declared themselves out of the running.
If Raiola's fee is a percentage of the transfer fee as is being reported, he wants that fee to stay high.

Pogba has shown in this tournament that he cannot dominate a team. He has moments. For less than half the price we can do better
I don't want him anymore. Lets look at a new shiny toy.
I'm not sure we want him to dominate, but provide the moments that change games, especially in transition of play. He's, at least now, a brilliant moments player rather than a dominator. Personally I welcome those kinds of players.
And so the circle of who was spun again. And the caf did ponder the circle of who. And the caf did deem non to be worthy (or realistically transferable). And the circle did slow. And then, lo! The circle was spun again. And the caf did ponder the circle of who. And the caf did deem non to be worthy...
We need players who can bring cutting edge and a bit of magic, which he can deliver.
Let's bring in Harry Potter.
Some of those players have no reason to be bought by a big club. I would argue it will take a similar amount of money to bring the likes of Alli here
Or David Copperfield
Bloody hell, it looked like it was going too well.
Only time will tell if this is the somewhat inevitable posturing from Riaola, Juventus, etc
But I hope to God we don't let it drag. A quick answer needed. I'd very much like him here but if not, move on. I'm sure Mourinho won't leave it long.

I know you're just trying to be clever/witty but Pogba is not worth £100 m end of, and non of the players I listed are either, A real game changer and goal scorer maybe is, but we are not in the market for one of those.
If we're gonna spend £100m we should use £96.25m of it to build a time machine and the other £3.75m to sign Roy Keane aged 22.
No far enough, but maybe Niguez, Alli, Kroos, Koke, Neves, and Alcantara do, and for me we could buy them cheaper than Pogba, and most could well be better.
My sources tell me this is happening.
And by sources I mean gut.

Yeah, Jose doesn't strike me as someone who would dilly dally and pray to God that it happens. If he sees he's off he'll quickly move along.
No one on this list bar Modric is better than Pogba. But Modric is 7 years older.
Koke is around the same level as Pogba, and would cost a giant sum of money, while he also has no desire to leave Atletico. Kroos is completely unattainable.
Kante, Rodriguez, Matuidi, Alli, Niguez, Isco, Carvaljo and Alcantara aren't in Pogba's level, and Barkley/Gotze aren't nowhere near that level.
surely Juventuz have stopped reading this thread by now
What the feck?
Jesus Christ at all these replies. Can't I have a little fun wuming?

His agent saying he could easily still stay perhaps?
Is Football_Mercado reliable? They have 325k followers.

In my eyes it would be a lack of ambition going into a club without CL.
looking at their history, no.
They aren't reliable.
I'm right with you there.
If his heart is set on Madrid then he should probably stay at Juve and improve or wind the contract down a year, change agent to bring the cost down in order to move to Madrid and be a bit more forceful.
I'd love him to come back but I don't want us to drag him back. If things don't go well he could start blaming the club, stifling his development, wanting out if we don't look like champions league winning material and we end up selling him for 60 million. He's got to want to come here and work very hard. He can't be a passenger and expect the United machine to get back on track.
In one hand I think Pogba is all for coming back and understands but if one is having trouble deciding then it's probably not the correct decision.
I don't want the club to spend 100million on a guy who's shrugging his shoulders and we're always wondering, is he happy, are we doing enough to please Pogba.
Did you expect this to be done by Monday lunchtime?
What was MUTV's stance on Pogba tonight? Hint on anything?
I'm certainly not reading into anything that pizza man says, but he did say that Mkhitaryan wants to leave ASAP. So with that precedent he clearly could have been less diplomatic in this pogba saga.
"...agent Mino Raiola potentially emerging £30m richer from his cut of a deal returning the French player to Old Trafford from Juventus, four years after he left."
Raiola seems to be making £5m a day. Good work if you can get it...This happens every time we are linked with a player. £5m are added to the fee each week."...agent Mino Raiola potentially emerging £30m richer from his cut of a deal returning the French player to Old Trafford from Juventus, four years after he left."
