He knows less than just about anyone
Then he will struggle to adapt if Mourinho plays him in a deeper role in a midfield 2. When Juve had to play him there because of injuries he struggled a lot and looked very average every time. We would have wasted 100m+ He's just not that type of player.
Pogday at last?
Most people seem to be assuming that he will play at "8" with Rooney, our captain, at "10". If you are right then doesn't that still leave us needing another CM?
The 20 % agent's/pogba's cut was an agreement between Juve and the player when they signed him. Now for them to twist it and ask for us to pay it, I say we call their bluff and threaten to pull out. Then again most likely we won't.
No point in pulling out when the pre-cum is already seeping out. He'll be ours soon enough
If he's played as an 8 with someone reliable behind him so he can actually join the attack all the time, then yes he will be able to play well there. But if he's tactically restrained to stay deeper like he had to do with France, he will look extremely average. Pogba is a very attacking minded central midfielder and best traits are all attacking traits. Yes, the other parts of his game are above average but if you take away his attacking license, all that remains is above average.
Pogba is not the type of player to stay behind, control the tempo of the game and spray passes to start attacks. He likes to be involved in the final third all the time.
Agree. I wouldn't mind seeing a midfield of Schneiderlin and Herrera holding with Pogba ahead of them. That's assuming we don't sign another CM and that Jose will bench Rooney when he sees that he fails to deliver consistently over time
True that will be the case at the beginning of the season. I just hope we drop Rooney rather sooner than later and make more out of our midfield options. If we spend so much on a player we should try to get the best out of him
Surely that would risk invited Madrid right back in to the saga.
At least it'll put an end to me refreshing this thread every half an hour and in between my sleep for the past 2- 3 weeks.No point in pulling out when the pre-cum is already seeping out. He'll be ours soon enough
AS and Kevin Palmer don't know anything.
Let's not get too excited, this could still not happen.
I think it will but let's not get carried away just in case!

Just as I expected.
Why would we announce a deal when we are in China?
We want him to come do a medical, have the photos at the training ground with the new shirt, and made a big song and dance of it like they did with mata x10.
More importantly though we are waiting on juve announcing higuain first. They need to appease their fans before upsetting them.

I see where the question comes from but the answer is really obvious, by questioning the right people. While it could be BS, foreign papers have solid sources abroad too.
Stay strong, my fellow muppet.
Who would have thought but looking increasingly likely,this time next week we should see him in the Utd shirt again.
We could announce a deal has been reach subject to medical. Nowt wrong with that.
If they were willing to pay that kind of sum in the first place, surely Pogba would be a Madrid player by now.
Forget Madrid. It seems pretty obvious they haven't got the money to do a deal like this without off loading some of their unwanted players for ridiculous sums. And no club seems keen to 'help' them out in that regard.
based on what I see from alot of their fans I'm not sure what would piss them off most, selling pogba or using nearly all the money to buy Higuain
So when do you think this whole thing will be settled? My guess is that it has to be before the end of this month. I would rather it happen sooner than later the wait is driving me crazy. Also, we should sign a FB.
But the Madrigando papers were also saying Madrid didn't want to pay such agent fees just a few week agos.
You people are right where Madrid wants you. Petrified at every turn by what they might do.
When Pogba signs,after every good perfomance all we will hear is how Madrid will now be after him and how is soon to leave.
Sure we could, but like I said we are waiting for juve.
Have we made actual progress the past few days on this because Fabrizio says we still need to sort out Raiola's fees.
I don't think we have. AS aren't to be trusted.
They are just recirculating their last update because they don't have any new news, because the amount of clicks it generating and requests for updates from United fans. It's probably all done and has been for a while and now it's just about how it announced by Juve and Man Utd for the best pr outcome.
Woody obviously doesn't take into consideration us camped out here waiting and hanging on to every bit of 'news/updated/bs' that gets tossed out into the intetnet or the threat or lack of threat from RM effecting our nervous systems, sleep and relationships.
But would they be trusted if they said Real was close to signing him?
The next progress is him signing for us. There's this big hurdle called Raiola's 20% cut. Give in or reach a compromise with Juventus about this cut and agree a deal or go for another player. Financial package with Pogba seems to be agreed, same with the transfer fee. Just that 20% is holding the deal.
Knowing how Juventus act, it will most likely be a choice of us paying the 20% or not signing Pogba. 20% of 120-125m euros transfer fee is 25m which is not a joke.
Maybe Raiola and Woody have taken the weekend off? It's a strenuous deal I'm sure. Intense stuff.
I hope we get the deal done this week. My muppet inside me is slowly dying
It'll be announced tomorrow. Chill out.
Who are you trying to kid?I hope we get the deal done this week. My muppet inside me is slowly dying
Allegri said that next week will be key but I don't know if he meant that specifically for Pogba.
If this drags on we will have a transfer to talk about. This seems to be our 4th and final signing. If Pogba signs tomorrow that's more than a month of the window with no muppet targets to cry about.I hope we get the deal done this week. My muppet inside me is slowly dying
No. They are an awful source.
When do the French contingent return from holiday?
Would Pogba be happy with his agent who is holding up the deal because of his cut? Really annoying that players can't see the bs these agents feed them and actually end up their puppets.
