The new prem tv deal has pushed them all up. Because of how much prem teams are spending its had a knock on effect with every other league except perhaps Germany. Neymar would literally go for 150 maybe 200 if he became available.
Yep. A bit more steel. We have creativity going forward. Yes of course we need to improve but if we stop passing the ball sideways like we did under Van Gaal and get our midfielders playing with greater tempo I think we have plenty of creativity. Who would your alternative to Pogba be?
Napoli are notorious for their incredible prices, Cavani went for 65m€ in 2013.
Late last night Mike Keegan posted a quote from Allegri confirming Juve were negotiating with United for Pogba. Hash tweeted a transcript of an interview from Allegri (the one quoted in the threadmark) that didnt say anything about negotiations "proving" that Keegan was making it up, except the interview Hash posted was a different one from yesterday morning so didnt prove jack shit.
Currenty, it seems more on by the second with Higuain seemingly going to Juve for 98m Euros now.
Great post. I think you understand the 'narrative' very well!
You would think not but thats what Everton want for him, and you never know in this market.
cheers. Higuain for 98m to Juve just can´t be. I´ll lose any remaining faith in humanity, if this happens.
Till yesterday I thought no one was going to pay 94m for Higuain to be fair.
At least the 50% are having the time of their lives. They are signing the second most expensive player as well as keeping their prized asset, for a few more days.
Well said
Higuan 
, i can't stop laughing. He's 29 and IMO not very good.
, i can't stop laughing. He's 29 and IMO not very good.Who are those creative players in a MF three that you speak of? There are no alternatives to Pogba, that's the thing. There is no other player around that has his all round attributes. You watched him play at the Euro's, out of position, in a team that was managed by a spoof of a manager in Deschamps. I think you need to see him play his natural position for 90 minutes. And seriously, his hair pisses you off? Grow up man
Can someone quote this higuain tweet for me please. There's too many pages to be able to find it.
Higuan
He fecking cost me a fortune at the last World Cup missing that chance in the final! I'll never forgive him!

Lol. His hair does piss me off.
Deja vu? Must've read the same tweet a couple of times before hroughout the week.
i love how some on /r/soccer are acting like this has little impact on pogba.
JUVE JUST TIED RONALDO's TRANSFER FEE!! Higuain is now going to be tied 2nd for largest transfer in world football.
OF COURSE this is pogba related

Soon we will be edging so close that we will be hugging.
Two hours ago:
Muppets, I'm out for the next 9/10 hours!
When I'm back, I want Pogba done
You just can't stay away
Rooney was an established proven player at the top of his game at the time. Losing him to those bluenosed twats after their Tevez poaching would have been unthinkable. Remember. Fergie saw off Mancini in the end.
If he didn't want to play for United he wouldn't have signed for us at 15.
He left for juve because he wanted to play rather than see everyone being played ahead of him. It was a career choice which turned out to be the right choice. Nothing mercenary about that. Mercenaries would be guys who leave first team football to sit on the bench of bigger teams for higher wages. Guys like Rodwell, Patrick Roberts and all. Clearly it's the opposite here.
Perfectly explained.
Come on Woody FFS just get it done!
and surely Jones now as well !
Do you know anything about the circumstances in which we first signed him? Seriously.
You think the two situations are directly comparable?
It's deja vu all the time. It's like a broken record. Since the end of the EUROs it's been "next couple of days", "next week", "edging closer", "personal terms agreed with Pogba", "close to a deal with Juve", "no contact between Juve and United" with a single report of "Deal is done with United" and "Real Madrid hijacking Pogba" once in a while.

I've seen a lot of "Juve are only paying 47m this year and 47m next for him, so it has nothing to do with Pogba". Right, of course not
Higuan
28.

I hadn't thought of it like that. Wow just fecking wow.

Higuain now costs
1. 8m more than Neymar
2. 13m than suarez
Juve's largest signing EVER was buffon for 53m euros. Juve is splashing cash down like they never have. Pogba is leaving.
What Rooney did wasn't ok. Where did I say what Rooney did was ok? You asked me why the club caved on Rooney's demands and I've given you the reason. At the time it was for the good of the club. This mercenary twat Pogba left Le Harve for a bag full of cash in Manchester aged 15 and then aged 19 followed the money trail to Turin. Now he's angling for another windfall aged 23. Don't kid yourself. This guy is an out and out mercenary. And he has crap hair.
Nah, Fergie just didn't trust academy lads in his last years. He'd rather play and experienced player in a new position, than try a young player.
No academy player established himslef as a first team player in Fergie's last years without going on loan at least 1 year.
He was a wonderkid. We clearly wanted him badly. I don't see it as being moneyminded. We must be doing this for most transfers of such kids. This came to the fore because his club made an issue.
He was on the same wage at juve that he was on at United. He had little to no financial gain. If anything he would have signed a new contract here if he wanted more money.
Just been for a swim and we still haven't signed him.
I am feeling calm about it again now though.
Juve signing Higuain means one of two things:
1. They are building a monster of a team to win the CL next season, Pogba being part of that.
2. Money from the sale of Pogba means they are getting in all of their targets quickly before it's made official that Juventus are all of a sudden €120m cash rich.

I think this went under the radar with the excitement. 94 fecking million94mil for Higuan
If it is the first one we genuinely could have a new team in the stratosphere of Bayern, very slightly behind barca real.
