This so much more advanced than Vidal, every outlet (reliable ones) are reporting the same. It's done barring a couple of small points and Raiola's fee.

There was many nights during the Vidal days where every outlet in Italy and Chile was reporting it but it just never went tbat step further to BBC/SSN. Then, it would get denied by agents and people who are actually reliable. The same is happening here. Although I think this will happen, I don't like the Vidal vibes.

At no point in the Vidal saga did it even get to the point of us submitting a bid. There was a lot of preparing bids, one never went it.
 
Some people are very highly strung. Just relax a little, I'm sure we'll have confirmation soon.
 
For me, the only stumbling block right now is who pays Raiola's fee, either Juve or us.

1. La Stampa say Pogba won't return to Italy when due back

2. Raiola is trolling everyone again

3. Fabrizio Romano: Raiola tweet is normal because his fee is the "missing piece" atm.

4. Jose said in careful words that woodward was working on the last transfer (pogba), but refused to name pogba openly.

With my second last post for the day, since you are the top poster in this thread, the updates are as follows:

1. Pogba telling everyone to give him space he is on holiday
http://www.sportsmole.co.uk/footbal...news/paul-pogba-im-on-my-holidays_277156.html

2. Mourinho tight lipped on transfer, quoted saying:
"I don't confirm and I don't deny," Mourinho told reporters at a press conference this morning. "I cannot tell you.
"I don't think it is correct to speak about players of other clubs. My directors did a fantastic work to do 75% of the job I ask them to do. I gave them a few options. We have just 25% to do until 31 August.
"We are in great conditions to have a great market. We are calm. We have three faces to fill the profile. I am confident Mr Woodward will get the player we need to get a good balance."

3. That troll of a Jenniy Lizarazo "journalist" saying don't believe anything the media is saying even though she called Benzema for Arsenal

4. Mino saying the deal aint done, more like he needs to get his cut still.

5. and as you just saw, the Barber confirmed it as much :D

Lets hope its announced tomorrow.

Ok now I have to leave my last post just in case it is announced today :D

Nah, not really. Been following ins and outs pretty closely since around David Beckham, Veron and RVN. But I'm probably just getting a bit too "involved" with this one. And let's not forget the Hazard, Lucas, Sneijder, Thiago, Vidal sagas etc. although I will give you that this one does seem a bit closer. But I still do believe this will most likely happen - I'm just taking some(maybe too many) precautions. But I think it's strange that both Marotta and Raiola publicy deny the deal if it is in fact so close to being done, which seems to be the consensus.

The agents will deny when dealing with big clubs. Usually that is what they are supposed to do. They will always have to account for what happens if the deal falls through. Think about this if Mendes had openly stated DDG last year wanted to leave what would happened end of the August when the deal fell through? It's not good for the agent, for the player, for the club etc.
 
Polite Poster said:
It's not just about the fee though. How much do you think his delightful agent will want ? My guess is £20-25m. Then there are the wages at £350-400k pw at a guess.

This deal if it goes through will cost United in excess of £220m over 5 years in my opinion.

I wonder why no other clubs appear to be interested ?

And there is the catch. Ot will be spread over 5 years. Do you know hom much United will make in the next 5 years? approx. 2.500 mio. So 220 mio over 5 years would be 8,8% of the income/per year. It looks we can handle this with RVP, Vidic, Evra, Giggs, Scholes, Nani, Rio wages off the books...
 
Juventus are pricks, they installed that 20% clause so Raiola would pursue Pogba to leave us on a free in the first place, and now the stingy pasta chugging cnuts wants us to caugh it up.

I don't even think it's a stumbling block. Raiola's comments about zlatan two days before signing show he just likes the spotlight. Remember when zlatan said in the first interview that the "talks were finally over", thus implying lengthy talks? It's like Raiola can't help himself when a deal is close, he just has to create drama.
 
Ive signed him on Fifa so take it as done lads. Looks like just the last few details to be thrashed out. Think it will be announced beginning of next week
 
We don't know if this 20% fee for Raiola includes all three transfers which may very well be the case. Calm down people. This will get sorted out today.

True, wages have significantly decreased when we let a lot of the deadwood go

2013-14 £187m
2014-15 £215.8m
2015-16 £203 m
 
Think we'll finish the deal off today, then we can't start warming ourselves up for next summer's muppet season; Verratti/Griezemann.

Exactly what I was saying yesterday, they're turning their back on an agreement they made when they signed him, an agreement which no doubt tipped the scales heavily in their favour.

It's sly and despicable IMO.
 
I see that a lot of people bring up the Thiago saga. What was that all about? I wasn't really involved in that because I never rated the player.

It's just one Of the many sages that didn't work out after being. So close to being done. Moyes fecked it up.

That Mourinho video confirms it even more in my mind.

Confirms what? That we're interested? That the deal is close? That everything is probably agreed.

Of course all of that is confirmed by numerous reliable media reports. The only problem is that while the deal is being finalized, will Real Madrid swoop in or not.

It was the way he spoke, conviction and absolute belief, we have identified our man and we will get our man

More likely to be a world record deal for Ravel Morrison.
 
This has officially overtaken the Berbatov thread for the second place. Now we just need approx 6500 post/162 pages to overtake the Vidal thread as the number one. With the way this is dragging out/how long we often take before announcing the deals could we actually do it?
 
Pexbo said:
They'd been talking to him for a long while and using Zidane and it was said to be his first choice. Then last night when reports of a deal being agreed were being bounded around they apparently tried to enter the bidding but Pogba had already given his word to United.

It's not beyond the realms of possibility that they tried to enter the fray again with the assumption that Pogba would push for them rather than us only to find that he's not willing to go back on his agreement with us.

I don't think we have the money to buy him, not unless we sell James.


SwansonsTache said:
Don't you think that RM has a certain amount allocated for transfers before each window starts? And it is up to the board \ manager (Perez) how it is spent?

For example United have their infamous warchest of about £200m, this is all allocated and calculated before the transfer window starts.

The stadium rebuilding will take place (350 mil €), there's some fines to pay (not much). We have a lot of "assets" in the squad as it is, so like I said, we have to sell to buy.


Crustanoid said:
It happened with Ronaldinho. We messed about then they came in and gazumped us - not with a WR offer, but high prices for that time, all because we dithered.

And don't forget this is United, the club with the record of cocking up the most transfer deals in the history of the game.

Mourinho will put a stop to that, that much I'm certain. You get them or you don't.
