Do you want Pogba for £100 million?

It has been obvious for weeks that Pogba is coming back to United and that Real Madrid can't afford the fee.

With the Higuain transfer this is pretty much a done deal

This ..... Besides, how would they fit in Pogba if they are going to play both Kroos and Luca... With James staying as mostly a backup to the attacking force, I have serious doubts where they would put him
 
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.
If for some reason he joins them, you can be sure he'll start. Whether that means their Brazilian DM (whose name escapes me) will be on the bench is another matter.
 
Di Marzio never said there will be an update :lol:

Infact, he even specified that he won't tweet until there is one.
 
I don't get how you even expect an update on a Saturday night at 10pm. Do you really believe Woodward is in some kind of secret meeting right now? :lol:

I believe Zidane is settled on a 433 with includes a holding midfielder(Casemiro currently playing that role).

He seems to prefer balance in his side.
 
I've been positive for the most part this whole saga, but the longer it goes on the less likely I think it's happening. We have Jose saying we won't be held ransom, that we have other options, we have reports that Zidane likes Pogba and is calling him to join yet Perez doesn't like him, which makes no sense at all, why would Zidane call him to persaude him if he didn't have a chance of signing him.

Also, Raiola was a lot more aggressive when talking about Mkhitryan being linked to us, for example.

Honestly think Madrid will come in last second or he'll stay at Juve, not cause I'm scared of Madrid because according to reports we are dithering on a few million pounds.

Lastly for people saying where he will play at Madrid, they could sell Kroos and use Pogba in the 433. Kroos would then join City and Pep in a heartbeat leaving us with Matuidi imo.

And what did he say about Zlatan ;) ....relax.

And Raiola was equally non-aggressive when Ibra was linked to us.

He's constantly wumming in the media. Wouldn't pay attention to what he says.

Well it's most likely the truth. Dropped James and Isco from their first XI to slot in Casemiro to ease the defensive burden on Modric/Kroos.

People thought because Zidane was an attacking player that he'd opt for a team of flair and not many defensive players, but it's been the opposite.

Just go back and re-watch the CL final vs Atletico where Real were playing a defensive game and opted to let Atletico have ball possession.

Exactly my point though. It was known Ibra had a few options when deciding where to go but well documented Mkhitiryan didn't really have any other offers apart from us. His Zlatan approach to Pogba makes me think this isn't as clear cut as it seems.

The issue with micky was not with other clubs but with juve who were playing hardball with a player on his last year
 
The longer Woody dithers over this, the more time Madrid have to scrape together the funds they need to get Pogba his preferred move.

You literally have zero clue what is going on behind the scenes. "Woody is dithering", okay mate. Unless you're his receptionist or his mother, get off the soapbox.

We really don't know if there were other clubs in for Mkhitiryan. I think sometimes it comes down to the personality of the player. Mkhitiryan seems a calm guy to me. Zlatan is more ego as is Pogba. I think that's what people are seeing. Mkhitiryan didn't seek the drama and so his agents approach was perhaps more honest. It don't take genius to drop Madrids name in it to make it a more interesting narrative. If someones to move for 100M, then they will want a battle. Someone to win and someone to lose. I'm hopeful it'll be done soon so we can all break our fecking addiction...well for a day anyway :)
 
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.

That's how I feel as well, particularly regarding him not really wanting to come here.
 
Why is it Woodys fault? You dont know this

You're right, I don't know what's going on, but I do know that he's our Chief Exec, he's taking a long time, and that what I said about Madrid is true.
 
When did Juventino become a thing? I'd heard of Madrista's but recently Atleti and Benfica have a nickname for their fans as well .
 
Jose has claimed he doesn't want to be held ransom and with multiple reports about Juve wanting us to pay Raiola's cut you'd think it has to do with money. Otherwise what could be the hold up, it seems we've agreed terms with Pogba and Juve so what is left?

Juventino has been around from the beginning. Opposition also have a chant going like Juventino pezzo di merda!

How do we know there is a hold up?
People have mentioned that maybe Juve want to make their signings before they announce Pogba has gone, maybe to soften the blow for their own supporters? Perhaps it's all done and dusted and we're being asked to hold off announcing it. Lets face it, we're in no big rush to announce it are we? If it's all done and dusted, no one can hijack it etc.
I think we just need to be patient to be fair
 


After the turn of events this morning, and the numerous confirmations filtered in throughout the afternoon, Gonzalo Higuain and Juventus are ready to come together. In fact, the Argentine striker should be in Turin at the beginning of next week, perhaps on Tuesday or Wednesday, when the bianconeri will have defined all of the details for Napoli. For now, Higuain will remain in Madrid until Juventus gives the ok for him to return to Italy. However, Pipita is not the only ongoing negotiation as Marotta and Paratici continue to work to define the details of the agreement with Manchester United for the transfer of Paul Pogba to England. Mino Raiola remains by the player’s side in Miami, in anticipation of the conclusion of the deal between Juventus and United.
