Just annoying when these things drag on longer than they should. The same thing day in, day out. I have bad experiences with long transfer sagas, as they normally end badly. I'd prefer to know certainties and if he won't be signing then I'd rather we focus our time and effort on other players. Everyday we are told how close the deal is yet every other day there's a, new hiccup or stumbling block.

I need a break from checking this thread every hour or so. I'm going outside to play Pogeman Go. Nothing will happen until at least next week other than a load of desperate stab in the dark tweets to tie the BS journos over until Monday.
On a serious note, I never believed Pogba doesn't want to come here and is only doing it for money and ego. It's shocking how some people easily believe narratives from pissed off Juve fans attacking his character instead of the player himself who has professed his love to Manchester in the past, and recently called United his first family.
Thread took a turn away form muppettry to a very bad place the last few pages. I can't wait for him to sign so we can move on to discussing football, and mostly so I can get my life back!

The Juventuz lot seem to want him to go Real and don't think he'll come here. Then again, they also think they're 2nd in the world behind Barca, 'Real and Bayern are arguably level'.

20m per season is insane.
Some girls are more mercenary than others. And some girls mothers...
Would be funny if we pull out of the deal and they were relying on the Pogba funds! Ok maybe funny for a second.....
Hoping this is wrapped up by today. Sick of this saga.

Has he posted on Instagram yet?
I wonder if there's a point where United pulls out of the deal. If not, Juve should just keep cranking up the price & make United pay for all the extras, which is what seems to be happening.
I think the backlash of United pulling out at this stage keeps them in it, no matter if Juve's demands keep changing.

Kante clearly didn't want to play for us. He went to Chelsea. He's dead to me now. Unless we sign him in the future! Listen if Pogba resigns I'll support him but he better put a shift in every game.

Must be a little soul destroying for them they have a team currently well above ours a huge chance of winning the best competition in European football, but the Serie A is pretty irrelevant these days there is no excitement for the italian league which is their downfall.
The global appeal of English football, the media and the hype is so much more appealing even if were currently miles behind them as a team, everyone outside Italy can see this embarrassingly they still think he will stay.
At the end of the day, you have a bias...so people are not having a discussion but rather looking at other ways to say the same thing to convince others that they are wrong. It's a waste of time. Likewise, knowing you don't like him - don't want him and would rather matuidi - why would anyone think for a second you could change your mind or think any different? There are pro's and cons to any deal. But no one can convince you, you are wrong. So isn't it best to let events transpire to show you are right?...
This is the most publicly un-public transfer ever, surely.
Was hoping we'd unveil him as part of the kit launch (optimistic).

I don't blame them. This EL Classico thing has everybody brainwashed.The Juventuz lot seem to want him to go Real and don't think he'll come here. Then again, they also think they're 2nd in the world behind Barca, 'Real and Bayern are arguably level'.
It's ok for those 2 sides to sign your top players for ridiculous fees because they are the cream of the crop. Everybody suffers against them so it doesn't hurt the clubs image to lose out to those two.
People tell themselves that losing their star player wouldn't be a disaster. They will use that money to sign quality and bridge that gap to the elite two. That is always the theory.
If they lose a player to United, a team a level below them at present...there's nothing they can tell themselves to make that better.
The sooner United make a dent in this El Classico bullshit the better.
I'll believe it when I see it.
I don't think Juventus's demands are changing, it has been the same sticking point all the time: they don't want to pay Raiola his bonus.
I'll change my mind if he signs and turns out brilliant for us. I'll happily change my mind but yes at the minute I don't like him as a player or as a 'professional'. You are right there is no real reason for people to argue with me on this. I'm just posting my thoughts and concerns about this transfer. This game is all about opinions after all.
Lock this thread?
One of the biggest transfer threads in the history of the caf?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Exactly. Let's see if we sign him first. People are going round and round in circles. If we got 4 years out of Pogba - and sold him - it wouldn't be the end of the world. It would probably be for a record fee and then it comes down to how we handle/deal with it - to ensure we bring quality in. It's up to us not to repeat the Ronaldo sale nonsense. However, we would all rather he stay a long time and become the best player he can be.
He won't sign for us.
He will. It's the only possible outcome.
I'm losing my mind and I know I'm stupid/crazy, but I just have this feeling Madrid fecked us and are signing him...
Even though all the facts point otherwise, it's this sinking feeling I'm getting because every summer something happens similar to at least one player...

Me too
The spectre of Madrid.. Come on and let's close this deal to bury that Madrid ghost forever!Is this based on anything, or just your gut? Because i'd like to read whatever you guys are reading about madrid.
All i've read from their mouthpieces is that they can't do the deal without X/Y/Z happening and them Di Marzio said Pogba committed himself to our offer when Madrid came back sniffing around.
I have a theory - The deal is actually done and it's a lot of face saving by Juve (PR exercise, drawn out for their fans), also to give them the chance to bring reinforcements in before letting a star player go. I think Riola is feeding the press enough bread crumbs just to make it look like Juve are hesitantly selling, when in reality; Marotta is probaly, absolutely made up about making a €120 million profit on a single player. That's the cost of their stadium ffs.
They're just a little paranoid or wumming. Some people are just extremely negative or don't deal with pressure well. I'm still confident

Well, some fans on here believe MUFC are one of the best teams in the World, even though during the last 3 seasons, we have finished 5, 5, 7. And we have only been in the CL for 1 season (getting knocked out at the first stage).
Fans often see their own teams through rose tinted spectacles. It's normal.

You should be kept in the newbies for the rest of your days after coming up with that drivel.
I didn't know M Night Shyamalan posted on cafe under the name of davelina jolie
I hope you're wrapped in tinfoil!
Enough with damn theories.
And Ive heard from several different journos over the last week that Pogba is close to signing with us.
It's easy for anyone to say this now. Time for someone to put their nuts on the line and tell us exactly when he'll sign.
Ahh! The Bale monkey cage.Surely we'd be seeing this already if that was the case
