I think you will be proven wrong. Real are just playing that they are interested in him for image purposes. He doesn't fit Florentino's galactico profile, there are also stories floating that Florentino is a little bit on a racist side so rest assured that even though Zidane would like to have him he is too well stocked in midfield for Florentino to splash all this cash on him.

It was the same in the Micky thread even After Dortmund had announced the deal with us
Some people simply do not have the fortitude for muppetry and are not emotionally strong enough for this . If nothing happens for a few days ,they go into a panic.
Big transfers take time. Wasn't Ronaldo out in the U S partying with the likes of Paris Hilton when his big move went through? He wasn't throwing any chairs around or crying. He simply trusted his agent to do his job. That's what those agents are there for.
Thanks for the updates fellas, time to eat and I'll be in here camped tonight!
Pogba is in Miami he is probably living it up today and tonight. It's rather obvious he and Raiola have made a decision. My guess is that tomorrow evening will give some clarity, and Monday/Tuesday that decision will become semi-official.
Problem is that no one can know for sure what he really thinks or wants. The fact that the journos didn't state that he had put a request doesn't mean he's not desperate to come here. Just the money incentive alone regardless of the clubs involved would be more than enough to convince a man to put pen to paper.
50k in your pocket but no Pogba. Would you take it?
I don't think it's possible for Juventus to sign Higuain without selling Pogba. It'd be sort of funny if they got Higuain but we refused to match their price for Pog, leaving them in dire financial condition.
Don't think that's possible unless we decide we don't want him and give up. We can match any bid Madrid can do.
To be honest I don't really care whether we get him or not. He's obviously a fantastic player, but the huge sum to get him to come back to a club he left for free is a bit of a sore point.
Also I don't really think he wants to come to United for anything other than money, which is quite alarming.
The again if we sign him I will be chuffed to bits, I just won't be crying myself to sleep if it goes tits up like I've still got a feeling it might.

If we don't get another update tonight like yesterday I'll go muppet insane 
He's not going to Madrid, but the thought of Ronaldo, Bale and Pogba in Madrid is frightening.
"United very close to pogba deal"If we don't get another update tonight like yesterday I'll go muppet insane
For it to go from being on like Donkey Kong, to now having to entertain the idea of RM preparing to feck us over is really tough on the strings for a muppet. Unless, of course, they intend to use that fax machine, or should I say faux machine.
I doubt Real are pretending to be interested so that they can ultimately lose him. Not sure how that helps them.
Also, I don't buy the black player thing either. If there was an undisputed black best player in the world, Perez would be after him.
Ultimately, it just seems to me that all we are bringing to the table in this deal is he fact that we have a lot of money. I believe that's the only reason the player or even his agent would want to do this deal with us currently, whereas Madrid is where they want to be. I keep asking myself that if Everton with their new money were willing to pay 150m and 400k a week, would I think they have a better chance than us of getting him? To me, the answer is no. I know we are not Everton, but in this scenario, it seems that we are more than willing to throw the money, but the player is reluctant. He may still come, as the offer is too good, but if Madrid make any sort of viable alternative for him, I don't think he'd struggle to choose the, sadly.
I also reckon he'd be forcing his way out of Juve in a manner that he is not exactly doing right now if it were Madrid offering the kind of money we are reportedly offering for him. Those kinds of things probably help the deal too, not him sitting there playing Mr Content at Juve.
Amen. We also need more posts folks. What if the deal will be signed on Monday and we stop just short of the Vidal thread? Keep them flowing.
Oh, it's flowing alright.
If Madrid outbid our 120M for him then fairplay, that fee would be of a proven Ballor Do'r winner, someone like Ronaldo or Messi. Pogba may be the best in the world one day but he is not the best in the world right now.
People scared of Madrid again?
He has no place in their first XI unless Kroos is sold. He's not going to Madrid. Everything is against the transfer logically.

The Ballor Do'or is a piece of junk. I know Pogba wants to win it but it favors players playing in Spain. That's obvious when we won the treble in 99 and none of our players won it. feck it. To be the worlds most expensive player is a real big compliment and the perfect stage for recognition - rather then some egotistical nonsense trophy.
Having said that I should point out I can't remember who won it in 99 - but we never even won the domestic ones either.... A complete pile of crap. So let me edit this by saying I can't remember who won it that year but it does seem a bias and certainly towards Spain in general.

This deal is done and it's been done in Príncipe for a while. Just sorting out the details, Raiola, and letting Juve pre-spend the cash to avoid inflation.
A lot of uneccessary panic and pessimism.

Relax ladies, why you all so uptight? done delio
Logic and muppets don't work together. That's in Muppetry 101.
I'd have Kroos in a heartbeat if the Pogba deal doesn't come off.
That was a bloody travesty, to this day I can't understand it. With that being said, you can't argue that the best player in the world didn't win it in the past decade. Ronaldo won it in 2008 after our Double season. Kaka won it a year prior. Since 2008 until now it was either Messi or Ronaldo.
Between Ronaldo and Messi it's usually who wins the CL though not who is the best player these days, its a "who wins CL or most trophies" award.
Feck no! Money doesn't equate happiness!
Pogba at United and us winning titles and CL's is priceless.
Would the Madrid fan base in here go elsewhere please.
This thread is for true muppets only! I can see something either tonight or tomorrow night. Believe guys, he's ours!

True, but to be fair Ronaldo and Messi are head and shoulders above any other player. It doesn't really matter to me which one of them wins it, it is more the fact that they split them between them with no one else coming close. They might as well introduce a new award for the best player in the world bar Messi and Ronaldo. That would be much more interesting.
Please consider adding Monday as well..... because that actually may be THE day
So no Di Marzio update tonight then?
I kinda feel the same way.
Kaka was a travesty. That's when they had the points deduction in the league so only focused on the CL.
It was a joke. He did nothing in 80% of matches that year.
The news will filter through today and tomorrow.
Respect..................

Soon doesn't equate to tonight...If there is no update, he has no news meaning negotiations are still underway ...or so they say. Patience.
Thread keeps going in circles. Just wait and see how it pans out.

I tweeted him a link to this thread. Hopefully it'll encourage him to get his finger out. That being said I'm sure with this place's esteemed reputation he'll be well aware of us already.
I'm actually quite astonished how one little tweet by one person has caused so much doubt.
AS have said they're after him, but will struggle getting him due to Morata and James staying, Marca, who are their mouthpiece, have said nothing on the matter as much as i'm aware, aside from capturing a little convo which can be interpreted in many ways. I've not checked for a while tho so they might have said something.
Then you got the big man Tancredi. He's launching a full blown scare campaign to get attention haha
I think you're wrong.
First. You have no idea about Pogba's commitment. It's his agent who's responsible to inform involved parties about his future intentions. None of the player or his agent have any obligation to go public about this. I would call it unwise to talk about other clubs before the deal is done, unless the agent is sure the deal will go thru.
Secondly. In a negotiation you have to give and take. Only amateurs gives ultimatums or walk away because they don't like what they hear. We have to give Marotta and Juventus cred because they clearly knows the drill. In the end I think they know that Uniteds will to buy is stronger then Juves willingness to sell, they off course use this knowledge.
Third. You make to many assumptions about things we don't know. I don't know more then you but for me silence from all parties is a good thing. Raiola going to Miami is also a sign that the negotiations went well.
From my perspective this deal is done. Only legal paperwork is left to do. That's one of the reasons Juve is trying to buy Higuain.
Try to relax. Feel secure and have faith in Woodward and the club, they are no mugs. If we fail then so be it, with £100m in our pocket we are stil the King on the dance floor.
