Do you want Pogba for £100 million?

still way too much money. I don't understand why we would ever let go of a player with as much potential without a guaranteed buy back/first option clause like Barcelona and Real Madrid do. We are such amateurs when it comes to buying/selling players. 90% of our squad depreciate by double as soon as they join us.
well he went for free, he decided not to extend and that's too late to put a clause there, dunno what the initial contract was from, proffessional contracts are allowed from 16 years of age? I think we actually sign him after that and noone thought he could became 100M player and that he would not like to extend.

Agree we should pay more attention to the deals right now, Think Ed will sort it out. This is a big slap in the face.. I like the pain though
 
We drove his contract down to the last 12 months and then frantically started negotiating. On top of that we refused to pay what he asked AND played Park and Rafael ahead of him in midfield.

Pogba confirmed the United offer was higher than what he took at Juve. He just wanted to play.
 
Forget Juventus, no one has been involved in such a rich deal before. More than 95m in profit. Feck me what a deal!

I agree. However I am just translating here

What I find fascinating is how a Mendes client Mou would bend over backwards to get 3 Mino signings in one go. Maybe Mou will soon jump ship and sign for Mino?

Meant to edit but deleted post instead. will repost.

@Massive Spanner i get that. But we SHOULD have just sold him if he wanted to leave to get more playing time
We offered him a deal that he rejected and he left at the end of his contract. There was literally nothing that could be done about that.
 
What's happened mate, can't be bothered to sift through all the boring chat about "Is he worth £100 m?!" as it's been to done to death.
A couple of Italian outlets saying Raiola brokered a deal last night for around 125m Euros through a phone conference and everyone is scrambling to find out if the sources are reliable.
 
:lol: Come on, all he's done is is say "it's done" as soon as it becomes blatantly obviously we were going to sign Mourinho/Pogba.
No he said all along that we were bidding bid for Pogba, even before the reliable journos jumped on the train. You must have missed that though didn't you.

if memory serves, he even changed his mind and wanted to stay but by then it was too late
 
Ladbrokes have finally suspended their betting on Pogba joining Man Utd

Bit late.

Nah this way we are in good terms with both super agents and I'd like for it to stay that way.
 
He'll now have a cult following of gullible muppets.
You really refuse to believe him. Well, I just don't see why he would go this far in order to become an "ITK" at an anonymous internet forum. It makes more sense that he actually knows someone in a marketing department, but everyone to their own right?

Mourinho employs Mendes. People forget that when they speculate about how powerful Mendes is.
 
Have we even found a real conclusion over the whiteboard or are we still debating? Because honestly guys its Pogba.
 
Been on a plane and in airports for he past 24 hours. What have I missed and what is this about?
Honestly, for your sanity you're better off not knowing. There will be stories told to grandchildren about this thread.
 
For @Adisa who has missed the last 24 hours:

We officially placed our bid of 103/104M Euros, which was rejected.
The team went to China and a video of Jose showed a whiteboard in the back and people began to speculate the name of Pogba was on there.
Reports Juve wanted 120M euros and some add ons.
Big news broke across all Italian papers last night that Pogba asked Juve to let him leave.
Early reports this morning that the bid for around 120 went in and Juve will accept.

Essentially, it's happening and you've missed it all!
:lol: I've been following this thread for close to a month. Complaining that nothing was happening. When it does, I miss it. Fecking hell.
 
Unconvincing performer in the Euro final....a lot of pointing and directing of others without putting in a proper shift himself....won't be sorry if tfr doesn't happen....
 
I think people are missing something here. Pogba could have stayed and we could be four years down the line. However, could he have stopped the rot of Sir Alex retiring? What would have happened with him under Moyes and LVG? As it turns out - us getting him now is perfect. There's so much optimism for the present and future - that I think we're in a good position to get the best years of his career. He had four great years at Juventus. Just imagine though...before Jose came in we were more vulnerable and could easily have lost someone like Pogba. So I don't think we should be bitter about how it turned out. I would rather see Pogba in a team with confidence and direction, then one that's not and I think under Moyes and LVG he'd have been wasted.

We're in a good moment (if) we get him.

Where was Messi in that world cup final two years ago? He was pretty much nonexistent. What a shit player he is though? Wouldnt want us going anywhere near him.
 
We didnt wait for Pogba. We werent in for Pogba at that point. We had LVG in charge still didnt we? The papers say LVG said no to him. Sanches says he rejected us and went to Bayern.

didn't the player himself say he rejected United because LVG was coach
