What's the consensus regarding Raiola's comments? Do we think he'll actually stay at Juventus or it's just a tool (similar to when we were linked with Zlatan) to get us to cough up more for him?

I personally think that hes preparing ground for when Pogba makes the transfer. Gotta appease the Juventus fans. Their whole narrative this transfer has been that Juve is selling only because we are throwing ridiculous money at him but they would prefer to keep him. His comments follow that narrative nicely.

There has been too much reporting by too many reputable people for this to not be true. I hope :nervous:
 
I think mbb8 maybe making sense. That's why United are pushing so hard for this deal.

The examples I was thinking of from last season were the Schmidfielders. I dont recall any actual "evidence" either of them were coming before they came? It was just like the Pogba saga, I think? A lot of smoke, leaving you wondering whether there was a fire or someone had just burnt a piece of toast?

I cite those as most of the others seemed to happen pretty quickly, but those two dragged on a bit as a recall...

Can't remember much about what happened with Schweinsteiger to be fair. That may have come a bit out of the blue. With Schneiderlin there were definitely confirmed bids and the like floating around before hand, then nothing happened for a while and then we pushed it through just before the pre-season tour.

what you have with Pogba is "reliable" sources claiming we've agreed personal terms but are yet to make a bid, and "reliable" sources claiming we're going to pay this amount or that amount...If they were so reliable they the information wouldn't be contradicting itself.

Not only that, but when the "reliable" source is a journo, it means they're either completely making it up, going on gossip, or at best they know what Pogba's agent wants them to know, and the most likely reason for that would be if he wanted to get his client more money/a new contract. Otherwise there'd be no reason or logic in bothering telling any journo anything. So it's really massively pointless getting excited when the only sources are journos and twitter.

are you seriously telling me Adele is more popular with the youth of America?

That was my premise. That the youth culture has shifted towards the hip-hop scene. How many rock-n-roll bands are popping? The biggest artist are mostly int he hip-hop version of Pop: Beyonce, Rihanna, Drake.



and for all those wondering why this is an issue. It's not. I was making the argument that Pogba is a marketing asset to any team, since he embracing current pop-culture. He participates in the viral world, which relies heavily on hip-hop for references.

What other footballer has this much swag? Dude oozes cool.

no, we are talking about spending a 120-150 million euros.

I feel far more comfortable knowing we are getting a player that is going to be a financial asset off the pitch to help recoup some of that money. We don't have an endless reservoir of cash, despite what some believe. We're rich, but we're not corrupt government funding rich.

What is your point ?
 
You lot must've missed mbb8 talking about side chicks and main chicks in this thread the other day. This doesn't surprise me.

Things have improved considerably since I learnt about the ignore function a few days ago. Can still see all the replies though unfortunately.

I see the replies but have no idea of the context. it's brilliant. Still have no idea how he's not thread banned, he probably is in top 20 of posts in here alone
 
How is this saga any different from all the other sagas from recent years? Reminds me a lot of the Ramos one last year. Raiola angling for some more money until Pogbas eventual move to Barca or Madrid in a few years. There is just a lot of speculation and 'Itk' s', but nothing concrete. The only thing concrete is that Raiola and Pogba are open to move and have agreed personal terms, but Juve doesn't seem eager to sell nor does Pogba seem like he'd push for a move. Both of which would have to happen in order for this move to happen. The eventual meltdown here when it doesn't happen will at least be entertaining to read. :)

I think the best way to decide if it's a good signing or not is to think of what our rival fans would rather see us do.
a. Sign Pogba for £110m or
b. Don't sign him and save the money.

I'm pretty sure they would all prefer us to do option b, so we should do option a.
 
Right, for feck sake, keep this on topic. Any more stupid shit about music or swag and I'm gonna start threadbanning people.
 
I resent being told that I'm 'living in the 90s' and that I'm out of touch; I happen to know a lot about Sir Francis Drake.
 
Pogba might be overpriced. He might even be a little hyped.

But I want us to sign him just for the sake of this thread.

On field performance should outweigh any financial nonsense for fans. I want him to turn out to be a star on the pitch. Couldn't give a feck about the rest of it. On field performances will always bring financial rewards whether you dance like a twat like he can or not.
 
This thread has grown 30 pages since i last went into it and we haven't got anything new to report. Feels like Vidal all over again, this time i'm not falling into the muppet trap, was so disappointed at the end of that one.

The general consensus among the sensible posters who can rise above childish insults on Juve board seems to be, Pogba to Utd is a done deal. Their most reliable ITK who according to many has a near perfect track record said it's done and Juve is now trying to do other businesses before it being made public.

The other posters are also citing different sources who claimed it's a done deal. Apparently Pogba has expressed his desire to come back to United, and he and Jose have been texting each other for quite some time now. Someone whose cousin works at Adidas store said his cousin told him they stopped selling Pogba's shirt.

Be careful while believing the above ITK claims posted on that Juventuz forum, they are taking the piss by making up above stories because they know caf users read their thread. Most of the things mentioned above are them making up the lies to troll us.

I dunno, according to this thread some fans would prefer us to do B too :lol:
 
Please don't take anything the nobs on Juventuz say as truth. They are only winding people up and you should know that after taking one look at their page :nono:
