Sure but he's not related to Juventus. I wonder why he would talk about another club.Openly talking about the Pogba transfer and saying only Bonnuci is irreplaceable
Paul Pogba | Undergoing Medical | Helping out the Laundry Ladies
- Thread starter KM
- Start date
Yep I know hence why I included his name.
Why is everybody not optimistic now? It's never been more obvious that he's leaving and Madrid have been down playing him.
Football Italia says Real Madrid are pushing hard for Pogba... Marca are saying due to James staying, they won't have the funds to buy Pogba
Maybe it's the muppet in me starting to take over, but i'm far more inclined to believe Marca

Hoping we tell Juve to feck off with their silly demands. Not a disaster if this doesn't go through, they are holding us to ransom the cocky bastards.
Because there are too many sources saying Real are going for him now. They want their new toy and will get him if they push hard enough.
I think it's 50/50 but you can never write them off.
No way, this is our chance to establish ourselves as top dogs in the market. Will look like fools if it doesn't go through now.
He's been saying that number a lot, it would add up thats going to be the total figure. As crazy as it is.
This. Can't believe we'll bend over like this ffs! State of us. Worrying that we'd agree to this. Pogba is surely not worth this hassle.
Madrid hard pushing for pogba
Perez is setting up his fall boy. Just look at the AS article, "oh we will offer pogba almost the same wages and transfer fee but Rodriguez would have to be sold." This comes out AFTER....AFTER Rodriguez has been plastered all over spanish media committing himself to real madrid
Madrid are so salty, they are throwing their player under the bus to save the image.
I'm still more than optimistic, I literally can't see this not happening at this point.
Won't we look even more foolish bending down to their every demand? Worse still if he comes and doesn't make the impact that we want. We'd look even more idiotic after spending all that money. Don't like this at all.
Yes but the important sources (Marca and AS - Spanish based papers) are saying that Real aren't after him and can't afford him, they needed James to leave to be able to fund buying him.
They pulled out of the Gomes deal due to James saying he wants to stay.
There has been absolutely no solid source saying that Real are after him now. One tweet saying "Real have phoned for Pogba in the last hours" have led to EVERYBODY reporting that Real are back in for him. For all we know, Juve could have leaked that themselves to get United to speed up stuff. To be fair, as soon as that tweet came out, a Marca reporter tweeted that Real have made absolutely no contact, and no one in Spain reported it either
What midfielder should we be chasing in your opinion?
Before anyone gets excited, that guy isn't a Juventus employee.
Thanks for the information mate I am calm again!
So they are going to sell Rodriguez now after all the fuss that has been made about him wanting to stay and fight? The AS article says even Madrid's increased offer, which doesn't match ours still, would be dependent on selling Rodriguez.
I thought €120 million was crazy enough but I made peace with that. Now I'm realizing we are gonna pay up to €145 million and I don't think I would ever come to terms with that fee. It's ridiculous.
There are no reliable sources saying Real Madrid want him. It's all in your head because you're trying to be negative.
There are however many very credible sources saying we're at very advanced stages of negotiation. So how you come to 50/50 I have no idea.
That's not the point. I'm not a scout. I'm sure they're midfielders out there that can do the job, even if they might not be 'marketable'. Pogba is not Messi or Ronaldo who you're sure will have an impact. I just feel we're being humiliated by Juventus and we're just taking it up our bums for someone who's no Messi.
Don't get me wrong - I have no problem getting Pogba, but I cannot agree with all this hassle and even more demands from Juve - this player is not worth that imho.
How are we being humiliated by Juve?! Some of you are so highly strung.
Tank also reports for Bein sports.
Exactly, it's no point to advance If the stingy Italians raise their demands every time. If the rumors are correct, Madrid won't pay Raiola's fees either and they are offering as much as we are, so at the end of the day, Juve will look like the silly ones.
The only concern is that the other options that we have, namely, Matuidi, is not even close Pogba's level.
120 or 145, what's that to us? (the fans) Makes no difference. Pay it and then stay the feck away from Italian clubs for the rest of our history
Di Marzio reported that a deal is very close 1 hr ago.
I am actually a very positive person - there's no need for that kind of post.
Maybe I was being a tad dramatic though
Post the article!
You and me both. How on earth can we justify this? I'd like to know how much money we'll be making off the pitch by getting him. Surely it's got to be a lot because I can't see what else is there.
Anyway, will shut up now as I don't want angry muppets on my case
It's from the above article posted by vanGaalEra. "Il centrocampista francese è vicino al ritorno ai Red Devils con un trasferimento dalle cifre astronomiche (oltre i 100 milioni)."

If he contributes to winning only one CL it will all be worth it, and even more.
Neither do they seem to have the money for it, nor can they afford to disrupt their salary structure by offering Pogba what you are.
The modern day fan is obsessed with transfer fees
It's not your money!
It's not your money!
I should have been clearer - it's United humiliating themselves by acceding to Juve's demands over someone not in Messi's league.
In that article, Di Marzio says the transfer is close.
In English?
€145mil, they can keep him.
Fine. The problem is my doubts over him having a major impact. I just don't believe at this moment that he will. I'm praying he proves me wrong - but I cannot see it happening at this moment. We'll just have to wait and see.
Closer than it's been for several days already?!
I wish we had "humiliated" ourselves and given Hazard's agent what he wanted.
I personally don't think we're up to paying 120m euros for the player, another 20% on top of that to Raiola, the fee to buy Pogba's image rights and a sign-on bonus. Unless we somehow compromise with Raiola or Juventus regarding the 20%, there's no way we're paying those fees which would well be close to 150m euros.
