Madrid are not in it. We will get our man. Dont worry people. This week shall be the week of pogba.
 
@carvajal Do you want Pogba as a Real Madrid fan?
After a couple of youtube videos I wanted but his euro was disappointing so I changed my mind but later I heard an international expert very known in Spain saying that he played spectacular games in Italy so now I don't know if we need him or not.I am quite ignorant about his career in Juve. In short,too expensive.I would wait for some new star.For that money I would buy Gomes+a CB+some player to rest Casemiro
 
Kronos as an 8 would help us dominate the midfield for sure. :p
Sure, with the God of war... We also need his brother Chronos to extend the Fergie time forever until we win the game :).

Still no news but I really wonder when Pogba's vacations end. I thought he was coming back yesterday so...
 
Forget this shite. It's not happening.
Time to move on.
If he wanted to play for us he would have signed or said something.
 
Why are some folks on here so desperate to be optimistic and to quickly explain away every reasonable doubt that the transfer is going to happen? What's the point? If it happens, great. If it doesn't, OK, we will move on.

For my money, there are many obstacles for the deal to succeed: Juventus want to keep Pogba and are in the CL whereas United are in Europa League, Real are probably still interested and if they manage to sell Hames and Morata, they will have the money, Pogba most probably would prefer to move to Real, etc. It doesn't make sense for Pogba to want a quick resolution. It would make much more sense for him to wait and see what happens with Real or to play in the CL for another season with Juve and see what happens next summer when there will be enough big offers again. Common sense says that the transfer won't happen any time soon and sometimes (or quite often) common sense trumps ITKs.
 
Preferring Madrid was less understandable back when we were challenging for the top honours and in the champions league, while Real had a revolving door of players and couldn't keep up with Barcelona for titles. Pricing them out is our only hope really.
 
We are turning into Spurs when they tried to sign the likes of Rivaldo - claiming they were after the best players in the world knowing full well it would never happen. If we spend all summer dicking around for Pogba and go into the new season with the same midfield as last season we will look like cretins.
 
Just because it hasn't been completed by now, doesn't mean it's off.

It's a world record transfer. It's not like you're sending an email with a yes/no and getting an immediate reply.

I think it's 50-50 on him staying/leaving.

You're crazy if you think Jose will allow that to happen, the man means business, the signings he's already made prove that.

Jose comments from his first press conference

"We made a nucleus of four priorities, four positions, to give a certain balance to the squad and a push of quality. As you know, especially the ones with more vision, I likes specialists and not so much the multi-functional players. I am very specific with my approach, so I need specialists for that... We decided four targets and until we have the fourth we will continue to work hard."

When we have the fourth we will breathe,” he said. “The market will be open. We will get the fourth before 31 August, and we will be stable but the market will be open.”

Jose has a well defined Plan. HE will chase pogba until he can't get him and then move on.

The self-flagellation from people in this thread is hilarious. :lol::lol:
 
I think it's 50/50 simply because i have no idea what going on much like the majority or all the people on here depending on who you believe, but to say it's not happening because it not done yet doesn't make much sence to me as if that was the case then everyone's transfer business should be done by now. Deals take different lengths of time, it's already been mentioned that Zlatan's deal took weeks to sign and there was no club involved simply.
 
If we don't get him.. you can guarantee we will sign someone else vsry quickly and this whole story will be swept under the carpet.

We definitely have back up plans in place.
 
Have faith in the transfer gods. It will happen soon. Patience is a good virtue to have. I know your faith is shaken after the AS article but it is just a test of faith, gather your courage men, this week shall lead us to.....VICTORY.
 
Whether we sign Pogba or not is really up to the player and up to Juve. At the very least we could use our position as leverage to poach Kroos from Real so that they can get Pogba. They can keep Rodriguez too.
 
lots of negative Nancy's stinking up the place. be patient we should hear something definitive this week. go have a shower, go to work relax trust in Woodward
 
Based on what evidence beyond your gut?

Jose said "We will get the fourth before 31 August" It's the 18th of July ffs :lol::lol:
What he meant was that, whatever happens, we need the fourth part of his plan to be in place before that date. I don't read that to mean we can feck around with the Pogba negotiation for another 6 weeks. Waverers never fill me with confidence and I suspect that Mourinho won't have the patience with it all.
 
This thread has literally just become a bunch of muppets praying to the muppet Gods. Never a good sign.
 
The thing for me is does he want to come here. Isn't that the most important thing? Wouldn't we be at risk of another half motivated Di Maria situation? United a stepping stone for his true goal?

It's not a simple deal. The main thing for the club - if they want the player, is to get the player. Once you have the player then we can try to control our end. We can only control what happens on our end. For all we know, this may all be informally agreed....but no ones going to come out and say that. If you go by what people say about Jose, he will be in contact with the agent and player - IF it is Pogba....it looks like it is but Jose won't be panicking. The club won't be panicking. The agent might be a dick, but we've worked with him a lot this summer and that is a big advantage. He's not going to lie to the club at this point. We've just signed two of his players. He will lie to the media but not the club.

To be fair what about the 1% of mods and admin moaning? This is a transfer thread. This is a forum. Anything off topic should removed or people thread banned. Most people are just talking about the deal. We're not hearing much else. Anyone with preferential treatment shouldn't be. It's the people that make a forum. Let's stop this and leave it be.

We've been trying to remove the nonsense but when you log back in and there's 10 more pages of nothing it takes a lot of effort to be bothered to try and clean it up. We ask people to keep it on topic and a few hours later it's the same shit all over again.

If I went back and cleaned up the whole thread now there'd be about 20 pages left.
