"I'm signing for the FA Cup winner"
Alli is debatably better than Pogba was at his age, current Pogba is light years ahead of Alli and still has a higher ceiling, Pogba has potential to be a Balon d'Or winner.
Does this mean deal done, or what Raiola's cut would be in a completed deal?
Pogba is potentially the face of the club for the next decade. He could be our next captain, our next leader. Rooney will start to fade away in the next year or two leaving the gap for Pogba.
He is one of the most marketable athletes on the planet, one of the best players (will only get better) and he even speaks Mancunian. United have got to sign him as far as I'm concerned.

If anyone is still worried Madrid are about to jump in and steal the transfer, that Marca article seems to be a final white flag from them.
Post muppets! Post! After this one I only have one post left for today and I'm saving it till evening just in case Pogba signs today.
Is there a reason why all the news seems to shoot at around 10pm BST? has been happening past 2 days.
Yeah, I don't get it either. If I had the opportunity to make 20 million off this, I'd be doing everything I can to get it. He doesn't owe anything to anyone.
Not to mention that it seems he's making this whole thing happen on his own. Deserves to get paid.
Why are we still haggling over 10m? I know it's a lot of money, but if we keep haggling Madrid could swoop in at any moment. You know what Perez is like, he's a ticking time bomb when it comes to this kind of stuff.
However I have full confidence in the board of getting this deal done and in Ed Woodward. Just rather get it done sooner to stop the probability of Madrid swooping in.

by my tax calculations (with no idea how much National insurance bracket he would be in as I don't think he would be exempt):

No, Juventus owe Raiola AND Pogba 20% of the next transfer.
I thought he started to fade away long ago.
Manchester United is not a Toyota Yaris. More like a Range Rover.
Im using it as an example. Its not like for like.
Real Madrid had build their merchandising/sponsorship strategy on being able to attract the top dogs. Sponsors flock to them because most of the time, the new kid in the blog will leave the club they play with, just to join them. They are the Galacticos, the club who lured Beckham, Zidane, Ronaldo and co despite those players were playing with equally if not better clubs (in terms of squad quality at the time) and they did that, simply because they are Real Madrid.
United had been knocking them down lately, first with ADM, then with DDG and now with Pogba (hopefully). We're doing that despite we're in open crisis. That must hurt the Galacticos not only in terms of their pride but also in terms of their pockets. The Galacticos and Europe's champions being outgunned by the 5th best club in the EPL.....ahh the sponsors will start wondering what's wrong with Real and whether they should keep paying premium to keep sponsoring them
Maybe if we are haggling, it's because we know no one is gonna swoop in.
There are other tweets too. The basic gist is we want to pay 110m (euros), which then 20m goes to Raiola, so Juve get 90m. But Juve want us to pay 120m, so they get their 100m figure. I think the tweets are basically saying where we're at currently before the next round of talks.
Catalan press saying Perez failed by not signing Pogba 
Oh, so there's no 3rd party ownership involved? (as in, the third party would be obviously Raiola himself)
We did that with Sanches
This is brilliant:
Ah I see, so basically, no different to yesterday... Hopefully today will change all that. Hopefully.
The more I see how bitter RM are about this all the more I don't actually mind the price we are going to pay!
That must mean the deal is 110m euros then. Which is £92m? I thought they were holding out for £100m?
I'm 32 pal. Galaga and Pacman were all I knew!
How the hell can you be the same age as me, know about Pacman and Galaga, and not know Donkey Kong?
He played for Spurs a few seasons ago and is now playing for Real Madrid, btw.
We need to ally ourselves up with Barca now that RM is acting the cnuts. I also dislike Barca and actually prefered RM to them, but now after the DDG saga and this I want to see RM burn.
Tbf, the Guardian and that Romanzo guy has been saying £92M for the last few days. Maybe the rest is add ons?
Most of Europe is on holiday in July, everyone is working part time. Wouldn't be surprised if that's when people are getting in to work!
This.Bunch of bloody cry babies that lot.
God the amount of jimmies we are rustling with this deal is worth the cost alone.
Melts coming from all over
Catalan press saying Perez failed by not signing Pogba
Barca themselves failed to do a deal with Juve over Pogba last summer.
Real Madrid This isn't what they're used to.
This isn't what they're used to.No, it's a problem between Juventus and Raiola-Pogba. Juventus want 100m, United offered 110m but since 20% of the 110m go to Raiola-Pogba, Juventus won't have 100m, that's why they want 120m from United, that way they get 100m.
That explains why they Raiola-Pogba to take a smaller cut because United probably told them that it wasn't their problem, now Lequipe think that United are going to pay the 120m at the end.
Mino crying he hasn't got his monaeee
Oh right, cheers for clearing it up.
Screw Juventus. The guy brought him on a platter to them. They're acting like pricks.
Exactly. It's business. There is a ton of money in the football business. If someone thinks it's undair then get involved and become an agent yourself!
Contrary to most opinions on this thread, I think Mourinho is saying that we have 1 more position(central midfielder) to fill and we have identified 3 players to fill that. I would guess the options would be Pogba, Matuidi and Gomes(???).
It's a business and they know we're wealthy and desperately want him.
Seems likely, we've been linked quite a bit to the other 2 aswell.
Sorry if this has been posted before.
Just thought it was relevant, especially to those questioning the fee.
Isnt that opinion most people in here have, because quite clearly thats what Mourinho meant. That being said i'm certain that Pogba is the number 1 choice for that position so if we can get him then that will be even better.
