Do you want Pogba for £100 million?

I just hope not when I'm sleeping, muppet rule points to no sleep for me I guess.

Everyones got a body clock - you ask it to wake you up at a certain time and you'll wake up round the time. Works without fail. So wouldn't worry about it, just remember to ask to be woken just just before Pogba signs or rather confirmation.. :)
 
it said 92 million for juventus and 18,5 million pounds for his agent?? does it mean we have to pay total 110 million for him??

Jesus what an overpirced player.. he is not game changer like cristiano or messi.. but oh well we don't have much choice anyway...
 
If we compare to the crappy deals (like 40M for Luiz and 50M for Sterling), then of course it is going to look very cheap :)

yes, also consider today's GBP to USD rate. it's huge difference, it's like we are buying him for 80M GBP if we look at GBP to USD rate history graph

That's the way it is. Bayern, who get good deals generally paid €40m on Sanches who essentially had one whole season with benefica. Pogba has played 4 full seasons, a World Cup and a euro.

We have the money. If we need any player we should go for them. Unless the money is used for fans it's of no use to you and me. I prefer spending it on quality players rather than penny pinching like Wenger

Well IF we get him, then this move could make a BIG difference. It would depend much on what we demand of him. He can be a game changer. There's no question of that. Being the worlds most expensive player could be the making of him. He's got a strong if somewhat impulsive nature. I think you are missing the bigger picture.
 
I see the haircut analysers are out in force today. Relax guys, soon it is time for the flight tracker analysers :drool:
 
Really? Huh, never noticed that. Anyway it won't happen today. They need to finalize the deal first.

Edit: Ibra and Miki happened on a friday and wednesday respectively.
And Schweinsteiger/Schneiderlin happened on a monday.
Bailly was weekend I think

He most definitely is a game changer. Along with being young, extremely marketable and pretty much the complete midifelder.
 
I am not paying a penny? Really? So all that money spent on match day tickets, merchandise etc. Is not being spent? Money does not grow on trees and the club is still in debt because of the Glazers' takeover. The Club are spending upwards of £150 million and you think it is alright? As I said I find it uncomfortable.

Nope. You, and me, are not paying for this transfer no more than we are paying for the new machine the company who makes our morning cereals invests in.

If you are a stock owner you are paying, or investing rather.

Being in debt is not bad. Being in uncontrolled debt with not enough turnover for mortgage and interest is bad.

Debt as a way to finance investment is essential for a company.

well yeah we should be happy for now with pogba. I just hope the deal should be around 70 million and there is also other option like moussa sissoko that outshine pogba in euro 16.

just read the news that juventus interested in Sissoko.. I bet it will be like replaced Zidane with nedved in 2000 :D man juventus is really genius in transfer market :lol::lol:
 
This the the ultimate statement in terms of transfers.

Think this is Woodward firmly saying United are back. Hope it works out.

Not sure he's worth that money, but at the end of the day if we sold him in 3-4 years to Madrid we'd get it back anyway.
 
So how much will the Sanches deal come out in total if they pay all installments? 60-80m Euros? Pogba is twice the player, hence with footballnomic logic he is worth it.

The Sanchea deal will only rise to such an amount if he reaches heights where that type of money will be peanuts for him.
;)
 
As a percentage of turnover the publicised Pogba fee equates to the same proportion as Ferdinand's fee did in 2002 (roughly 20%). That didn't turn out so badly for us.

Anyway, money aside, on the field it's a sign of intent and good things to come. Excited!

Sissoko replacing Pogba like Nedved replacing Zidane? Did you take the right medicine today? :P Zidane and Nedved are two legends of the game, Pogba is on a similar path. But Sissoko is nowhere near that path and will never be. I for the life of me can't understand what a top club would do with him. He is similar to Valencia, little better dribbling but nowhere near good enough for a top club a few games he played outside of his skin in EURO don't change the fact he has zero end product, dodgy decision making and no creativity. I actually took a bet with a friend that he will not get a transfer to top 15 european club in this window. Juventus won't buy him, even Arsenal are not that stupid.
 
What difference to the kit launch would Pogba's signing make in reality? I really don't see how announcing them on the same day would have any tangible benefits. Is this connection coming from somewhere?

I really do feel like not announcing Mourinho earlier cost us that deal, I think he was ready to come until we messed around deciding whether to keep him or not. Shame really, a midfield of Pogba and Sanches would of been amazing.

I don't believe so.

Some just thinking the club want to show off Pogba during the kit launch.

I think it is either 1, not both.

Not really. Without announcing also it's easy to explain the player about future plans.
 
They brought this onto themselves. Had they been more humble, then the fall wouldn't hurt so much like this. I actually feel a bit of sympathy for them, because we've been in that situation before, when a club comes in with a monster offer and your player actually wants to go, suddenly it makes you feel not so big anymore. And had they not been clowning around and acted arrogant a few weeks ago it wouldn't be as embarrassing or hard to accept as it is now.

When Pogba left we felt their pain, I have no sympathy for them
Unless Veratti is desperate to leave or their owners lose interest they will tell us to eff off like they did with Real. They do not need the money.

True. We table a bid for Veratti they would table a crazy bid for De Gea or Anthony as a warning shot

It would attract a lot more media attention/exposure to the kit launch if it coincides with the biggest transfer in history...

Depending on what number he is assigned, then dictates what other players are given. For example Pogba gets 8, United can't print the current MATA 8 shirts, as these may change & if United change the numbers post release, then as far as I'm aware they have to honor a replacement shirt FOC (via the Megstore anyway). I could be wrong on that but it would make sense to get the 'stellar' signing in, number assigned and then release the shirts.

Just a thought, it could be unrelated to any of the above though.
