This transfer has 'that feeling' to me...
'That feeling' being, at worse, a Ramos, Fabregas, Vidal type affair where the player/agent uses United's new found 'announce our intentions' transfer strategy to get either a better deal from their current club, or a better wage from their new club.
Or, at best, a di Maria type transfer, where the player would rather be elsewhere - i.e Madrid, PSG, Barca etc - but comes to United as a stop-gap to their 'dream move'.
Maybe I'm just a bit cynical from the aforementioned transfer sagas. But added to that, the fact we let this lad go (erroneously) for free, really makes me feel weird about the club paying such a high price for him.
Something about it all just doesn't feel right.
I dunno, 105m could buy you a top midfielder and a top CB.

That wouldn't help Juve though which must come into play. Juve when they sold Zidane - spent the money. I'm sure they'd want to do the same. If we announced anything, that would mean they accepted the fee and have that money in due course to spend. So I agree, most certainly the latter if anything.
Yeah AS reported that Madrid have asked for more time. But Marca countered it by saying Madrid arent interested at all.
You nutters with feelings should get out of this thread. You people are always negative vampires. I wonder why that is
How do you know it will be 22 July?
He must be ITK.
We go again lad, we go againBut, they said the same thing about last week too.

Only the dumb folk. You melodramatic sod.

AS said we should hurry up and sign him before Madrid get bored with the whole saga and sign him Themselves
Logically banning a member for a post is criticizing the poster and not the post. There can be no justification for "Some people get special treatment...tis the way of the world."
You gotta promise the muppets that you're never gonna let them walk alone!
Chuck it - It happens, you've worked hard to get promoted to the mains. Don't get in arguments with mods of caf, as it only ends in one way.
Suck it up & move on! Implement the Wenger's "I did not see it" philosophy
Now let's discuss Pogba!
This again? As was repeated so many times throughout this thread, please name a top defender and a top midfielder who we could acquire for 105 million.
The lad, provided he is a success of course, will pay for a significant portion of his fee himself; trophies and the subsequent prize money, merchandise sales, a transfer of this magnitude involves more than just a football player.
Also, you mentioned that you don't really like spending a huge sum to bring back a former player who we let go for free. Surely it's better to swallow one's pride and rectify the mistake instead of letting him join another club and rip it up there?
Sure there can, it's a private forum and we make the rules.
Read somewhere he is back Friday.
Spot on.
Ahhh, in which case he probably had only 9 days annual leave entitlement when he applied to his line manager for holiday (all of last week and only 4 days this week). Poor planning on his part, but it means the transfer should go through this Friday! I usually piggy back onto the end of a Bank Holiday to get myself 2 full weeks! Good planning can get you a long holiday in xmas or easter.
so AS say Madrid may want to get back in the race and then the next day refute the claim like it was someone else's .
I agree with the majority of your post - but not the part where you hint that a top defender and a top midfielder can't be aquired for £105 million. That is of course a strange thing to say considering what Leicester paid for a couple of decent players last year. I am however all for signing Pogba
That's fair enough I suppose. I'm a big fan of equality and can't help but see holes in logic. But like they say in the states, it is what it is. Whether people wum or not or get banned or not doesn't really bother me in any way whatsoever. Poor arguments and arrogant use of authority does bother me. If this forum is set up to embrace old timers' power trips I will bow out graciously. Nothing worse than a person with a little power and a big ego.
The real difference is how obnoxious you are, not how old. Spoony didn't spoilt the thread and didn't lost his temper like the precedent poster that's why he is fine.
I think you need to take this matter a bit more seriously. This is the internet after all.
Pogba has been listed as joint 25th for Best Player in Europe Award - alongside Will Griggs.
Had to sneak that in Balague huh...
I seriously hope no one here quotes this article and argues he isnt any good. That list is shit.
Ballague is truly a pathetic little toad.
Looks like Raiola and Juventus want him to go to United but Pogba wants to play for Madrid. I am half expecting a deadline announcement that United have been gazumped by Morata and James Rodriguez going to Juventus in exchange plus cash and us signing someone we've never heard of for 50m instead.
Well it widely accepted as being the case, don't get the hate for Balague. Player prefers Madrid. Shock.
He is barely reliable nowadays. Plus he made the whole dig at United last week when we outbid Madrid and about how Pogba doesnt actually want to move to Manchester and play in the Europa League. He couldnt get over, and by the looks of it still hasnt gotten over, the fact that we outbid Madrid.
£50m Unknown signing on deadline day? Worked out well last time.
We could land Will Grigg for 50m.
I actually considered buying the new home kit with his name on it. So many people give him a hard time but I actually like his desire to only buy worldclass players. He did bring dimaria and falcao regardless of how that turned out. Now look at us this window. Yet you will have muppets a month from now complaining if we don't sign pogba.
Ya balague is coming off like a cnut throwing his toys out the pram on this one. This was suppose to be the transfer of the summer and it involved balague's beloved La Liga. I'm sure he was getting ready to be all over Sky to talk Pogba to Madrid.
Also anyone believing him on the "Pogba definitely prefers Madrid" stuff, balague was the guy that sat there adamantly for months saying Van Gaal was staying. Hell I think he even said it again the day of the FA Cup
Let's believe the guy who said
One thing, I have been told, is certain. Van Gaal, as it stands in this volatile world of football, will continue as manager, fully supported by the MU Board
Google image is full of meme's that suggest the internet is in fact, serious business. Of course I shall not post any here, as the rules are against that sort of thing.
Back on the subject of Pogba, sounds like we can expect a quiet week (at least in terms of actual activity) followed by an explosion of new rumors and discussion one he returns from this holiday he is on.
Not saying it's untrue but its largely on the say so of Ballague. If Pogba wanted to engineer a move to Real, it would be in motion by now, even if Real couldn't match our transfer fee.
I'm of the opinion that he wouldn't mind joining United but he is also content with staying at Juve.
