Have you not been paying attention to the smear campaign going on in the Madrid media? There's no way they're going to sign him.

Yeah not like Marca to make something like that up either to be fair.
What viable alternatives could Jose actually have to Pogba? What kind of player is Saul? I know literally nothing about him.
Ah you are that friend that always asks for a lift and always gets it. And then one day your friend doesn't give you a lift, you go and complain about it all day.
Di Marzio said Juve wanted Gomes. His information is from Italy.
Glad to hear this!
I'd sacrifice Pogba if we can sign Saul.
The 60's Spy TV show type musical interludes were great.
Constantly thinking hes either madrids revenge for DDG, or Citys just for the lols
A kind that is not leaving Athletico anytime soon.
Matuidi is the fall back apparently, Jose isnt set in one formation/playing style. He will adjust the team accordingly if Pogba doesn't come.
Thanks. done deal guys
Watched that bbc interview twice and did not hear this 'smoke/fire' comment
If Madrid get a bid accepted, I don't think they will have any problems agreeing personal terms as I think he wants to be there. I feel he wants to hold off joining to see if Real's interest is genuine.
Just my two cents, hopefully I'm completely wrong.
Close a deal for "one of the options" but "he wouldnt be surprised if it isnt pogba" . Do not bank on it.
Playing devils advocate but if Madrid are a little pissed with Barca swooping in for Gomes and Pogba maybe on the way elsewhere, i would not be surprised myself if they accept the next big offer for Morata (if there is one), and whack it on Pogba
Looked on his twitter and he was laughing, saying he made a mistake (bad source or they just lied) and that he isn't going to run but face the criticism
I literally just heard him say it on Sky Sports. I don't know what the BBC interview is but the interview SSN just showed was him on a sofa inside some sort of house.Watched that bbc interview twice and did not hear this 'smoke/fire' comment
Not that impressed with this latest Jose interview even reading it in full context. Being held to ransom were SAFs words regarding Hazard I recall and the Raiola tweet yesterday was a bit salty. Another club in for him will surely be Madrid, I just believe they do not want to be outdone on such a global deal regardless of already being stocked with top class midfielders and have been playing Pogba down. Plus now with the Gomez deal to Barca it all sounds a bit worrying. Well to me anyway but I have been firmly in the 'I don't think it will happen' camp from day one. Really hope I'm wrong though and I'm just being overly pessimistic. Apologies for being a depressing muppet, I'm off to bed!
Agreed we are done for...damn u madrid
Juve did bid 60M for Gomes!
@rafavillarejo Reports: "the VALENCIA had rejected two offers of more than 60Mill.€ Juventus and Chelsea by ANDRÉ GOMES"

Are you joking or genuinely believe that?
Jose has guaranteed that we'll sign someone in the right 'profile', and that's good enough for me.
It is Pogba.
And Real Madrid won't pay what Juventus want. Nor the salary we're offering Pogba and they won't pay Raiola his cut.
And Marca have been doing a smear campaign all summer. Marca haven't reported any real interest Real have on Pogba.
Morata is most likely staying too.
There's nothing to worry about.
You probably are, so don't worry.
Joking, its obvious Pogba is coming home
Edit - But we have a lot of chicken fans who think nothing can go well for United so he is going to Madrid/Barca
I don't understand the people at Juventuz, the forum. They're pissed off at United trying to sign Pogba, but have no problem if Madrid or Barca eventually signs him? What mentality is that? 
IMO this could just as well end in Pogba staying/leaving for Real Madrid. Everything in here is based on a combination of speculations and rumours which all lead back to Di Marzio. And look how wrong he has just been proved with Andre Gomes. Linking him with Juve just hours ago just for him to sign for Barca out of the blue. If it was all so certain we'd probably already have signed the deal. That combined with Marotta's, Raiola and now to an extend Mourinho's denial of a deal.
And feel free to call me a pessimist/noob muppet and ridicule me. But let's see. I'm not getting my hopes high, though I still really hope he's coming.

That interview did not make me think it was definitely Pogba. Marca also made out Andre Gomes was Madrid bound and wanted them only.. he has just joined Barca. Right now maybe theyre not in for him..... but the minute they get enough dollar, and if hes still with Juve, theyll bid IMO
Mourinho on Pogba
"You have smoke, you have fire - you used to say something like that, right? I am not going to try to make you naive and believe that we are not trying for one player. But we know first of all that the player belongs to another club, which is not a small club. It is also a big club, a club with economical power to fight for their best players, to try and keep their best players. Apart from that we know other clubs are also involved and for us it is not kind of 'are we going to win the race or to lose the race?'. It is not a race, it is just the market."

They will have the same issue we are supposedly having. Image rights and Raiolas share.
Its not the wages to Pogba thats holding this deal up, that was the first thing to get agreed according to the ITKs.
If Madrid beat us to it, they they will be offering Juve more than what we are to make up for Raiolas percentage. And if they do, fair play to them because 120m euros is already crazy.
First time i have actually felt a bit wary . I hope its just Mou putting pressure on Raiola to put down his ridiculous demands
I'm the friend who gets a lift most days but in the past used to miss out on the lift all the time, and I haven't forgotten. Di Marzio used to spew shit all the time. The problem is I don't have a clear example as I can't remember, but I remember one time him getting slated about talking bullshit. Think it was about Ozil to United. He is worth listening to but isn't gospel.
It's laughable. They are really hoping RM sign him, so pathetic.I don't understand the people at Juventuz, the forum. They're pissed off at United trying to sign Pogba, but have no problem if Madrid or Barca eventually signs him? What mentality is that?
If you actually watch the interview on the BBC it only makes the deal appear closer tbh
Madrid sure wont like losing Gomes

To be fair I'd be pretty gutted if my star player moved to a club playing Europa League as opposed to either of the two best teams in the world at the minute. I know what you mean but I guess they consider his move to us a huge step down.
Sounds like complete BS, Pogba is coming home
Wouldnt be surprised i woke up tomorrow and heard we signed Kroos while Pogba went to PSG
Does uncle Flo's fax machine work now? This could be a crisis if they finally convince James to hit the road.
He's not going to come out and flat out say Pogba is coming.
This deal is done. Be patient. It's a world record transfer. It can't be done in just 1 day.
To be fair, he sounds rather relaxed there, either he knows the deal is done, or he's genuinely not bothered if we miss out on Pogba as he knows we'll sign one of the names he's suggested
