Paul Pogba | Undergoing Medical | Helping out the Laundry Ladies
- Thread starter KM
- Start date
According to Tanc, City offered 90 and Chelsea 120 (euros)
So City were interested? Boom.
It could play out like that. Or more pessimistically looking at it, after spending all this money if we have another season outside of top 4, our stock will plummet, Woodward will most definitely be fired for his mismanagement of United funds and we'll end up getting a CEO who will need to show net profits and will sell Pogba since he'd be the most valuable player in the squad.
Fear mongering.
No wonder Juve turned them down, 120 euros? I could have offered more than that!
I'll get my coat.
I'll get my coat.
Nothing new today?
Wait for the evening, there will be news then, has been every day this week.
Well Raiola logged on to twitter and said that no deal has been made and everything we have heard is "bla bla bla".
I really hate it when there isn't a thread change for a whole day talkless of two...come on speed it up Woody you lazy bastard!
Nah City were held back by FFP and have more pressing concerns....
Why are people bickering over which clubs we may or may not have beat to buy Martial, Shaw, Schneiderlin and (hopefully) Pogba??? Gee-whizz! Who cares who else was bidding?
The fat feck is a 2 man midfield all by himself.
Yeah, they could've had him if they wanted, but they weren't in for him. Unnecessary pressure is what Pogba would've meant. Or something.
The fact we've left number 6 free is another massive hint, that's settled any nerves I had about it.
Can't wait for this season

To all those talking about the eventuality of Pogba wanting to sign for Madird (despite not even signing for United yet) in a few years time, why would he want to go there if we're competitive in the Premier League, Champions League and we're bringing in quality reinforcements every season?
There is no reason to fear Madrid, they're just bullies. They don't like the competition we're currently giving them and if we continue in this vein, they will either have to compete with our massive spending power or change their transfer strategy.

I read the news today, no Paul.
Yeah. He was our second choice after Wijnaldum.
They went hard for him last season (City) so 90 is believable. Chelsea also panicked after their bad start and started to throw money around.
The same reason Ronaldo ditched us, because apparently it is Real fecking Madrid

Not saying it's not a hint or that he won't take it, but who of our players would have taken it? From the players that changed numbers, it doesn't really suit anyone.
Ronaldo is a different case. He had always wanted to play for Madrid since being old enough to play football. Pogba has never said such things as far as we're aware. Every other player, except for Ronaldo, we've sold to Madrid on our terms.
Beatles reference?
Problem is when you log out thats when something immediately happens. I basically said last night (or maybe the night before) it was all cobblers and nothing was really happening. Then, immediately after logging out the internet lit up with news of us making a massive formal bid. And i looked a dink.
He said that but initially it was that he wanted to play in Spain. Started saying Madrid was his dream when they made contact.
Well anybody could have really, maybe smalling didn't want 15. Pogba wears 6 at juve and suddenly we've left it free.
That to me says it's his.
This probably helps us to spend this kind of money. We'll be viewing this deal as either us getting a top player for the next 10 years or a top player for a fews year before selling him on for a profit in the future (assuming transfer fees haven't peaked). The potential return-on-investment would be a factor in us going for him.
We just need to make sure we don't let him go for free a second time.
I think he wants to play for Madrid, partly because of the allure of the white shirt, partly because Zidane is now the trainer and has a big attraction on french players.
We will also have to see if Mou can actually bring us back to that level were we are competing with Madrid for the trophies instead of competing with for 4th place.
But lets not worry about it at this time, first we need to actually sign Pogba, then we will see
Fergie says in his biography that Ronaldo made it known the first time they contact United about a transfer that he has dreamed of playing for Madrid since he was a boy and Fergie convinced him to give one more season before allowing him to leave. But as I said, Ronaldo is the only player we've lost to Madrid that we lost because they preferred Madrid over us.
Ok. Shame to miss out on him. But I'll trust he is an adequate back up
if history teaches us anything madrid will probably have a new manager by 2017. Pogba knows better
madrid is the last place you sign for because you like the managerI do agree also, of the available numbers, its seems the most appropriate for him. He does however wear 10 at Juve now I believe. Let's hope its sorted ASAP now.
According to his brother, he also dreamt of playing for Arsenal.
‘Paul is a little crazy, obviously in the best sense,’ said Florentin.
‘His dreams? When he was little, the clubs that made the dream were Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United and Arsenal.’

The word you're looking for here is able.
Anyhow..reports of City's interest have now been made public.
Reckon this will be done week Friday folks.
I think that was because they tapped him up
Well if the reports are true, Madrid asked for more time so they could strike a deal and he told them he'd promised himself to United. That doesn't sound like a player that has always dreamed of playing for Madrid. I can see why he would want to play under Zidane but there's no guarantee he'll even be there at the end of the season.
United are big in France due to the amount of French players that we've had over the years so there's no reason why he doesn't see the clubs on par with each other.
It is weird that all the Pogba news seems to come out late at night - I wonder if we will get an update tonight
