Do you want Pogba for £100 million?

The same overly-kneejerk people saying we should pull out now will be the ones having the largest meltdown when we sign Matuidi or Diarra instead

So true :lol:

"We should pull out, we can't be taken advantage of in this despicable manner :mad:"

"Matuidi? Why didn't we just pay what Juve wanted :mad:"
 
How many 6th choice man United players ended up playing at juventus? Raiola engineered such deal and provided his protection. Juventus promised Pogba a real shot to first team and having mino there ensured that they keep their word. You don't want to pass mino off
That is not really a great argument. Pogba being 6th choice had less to do with his talent and more to do with SAF not willing to bow down to his demands. If we start using such examples, all youth players who moved at young ages from major academies and who had a very good career will be thanking their agents. Like Fabregas, Pique just two name two. Point is sometimes circumstances are like this.

As for Pogba, Juve wouldn't have cared two hoots about Raiola if Pogba was not the talent that he is. Hence it has nothing to do with Raiola. Unfortunately in this day and age, agents have all the power over a player and we have such situations arising more often than not. Agents like Raiola and Mendes should be banned from football.
 
I thought we already agreed the fee and just waiting for the agent fees? What the hell is going on. Everyone just makes new crap up or backtrack on reports.

I literally don't know who to believe anymore.
Believe in yourself
 
There has to come a point where we say enoughs enough. Imagine the fallout when Raiola doesn't get his £20m, Juventus their £100m and Pogba his £13m a year. All have more to lose than us.

This is true.
I actually think that Pogba and Raiola need this to happen more than anybody else.
I am not sure if Juve want this to happen because rumour has it that they can afford to buy Higuain without selling Pogba. If they end up with both players next season, they'll be CL contenders for sure.

People need to chill out. Di Marzio was one of the ones talking about Madrid...so it don't matter what he's said. Their job is to create a story...it don't matter if it's true or not. Clearly the media are going all over the place with this. Just ignore it. They are losers with nothing better to do then sensationalize everything and create a drama.

Just need to have a little bit of patience.
These things take time, and they're not going to be done overnight. My theory is that if all is agreed and Juve are waiting on Higuain to sign before letting Pogba go, then rather than have days of silence and having their supports get irate at the lack of news, they're leaking little bits like not enough money, no need to sell Pogba to sign Higuain etc. That gives them time to get their signing over the line whilst making it look like they're fleecing United for everything they have. It pleases their supporters (well in their eyes i suppose). If Juve did want more money, i imagine United would pull out pretty quickly and move on to other targets, and the papers would pick up on it quickly too, as we'd likely brief them at some point.
 


FFS, even Amoyal (Converts Di Marzio site into english) has to reiterate the "remote possibility" part. :lol::lol:

Do people even take 5 seconds to read the articles fully? Or just react as soon as they see one thing?
 
I'm guessing everything has been agreed and they are just waiting for some of Raiola's details to get ironed out. Otherwise Ed would not be in Beijing. I remember a couple of years ago when the squad were in LA....Ed flew out for the first 2-3 days then quietly flew back to England to presumably deal with wrapping up transfers.

And who can forget him jetting out to sign Fabregas.
 
Part of me would love us to walk away and see what happens with their Higuain deal. They've spent an awful lot lately and it just feels like any club can hold us to ransom if they feel like it.

They really haven't

Pjaca was €23m
Pjanic was €32m
Benatia was €3m loan with €17m option to buy him at the end of the loan
Dani Alves was a free transfer

And they sold Moratta to Madrid for €30m

So they have basically net spend €28m so far

In terms of wages Alves is prob on a big one and Benatia and Pjanic will also earn a decent wage but they have lost the wage of Cuadrado and Moratta so all in all not much difference there.

I don't think Juve would spend €94m without selling Pogba but it is not true they have spend an awfull lot. In fact they are a very economical club and their books are usually in order. At the end of the summer they will probably have earned more money than they have spend.

The thing actually is, I do think it is possible but very unlikley Juve might actually be able to afford Higuain without selling Pogba. They never spend much and every season they get money from CL money and winning the serie A, so it is not unlikley they might have build up some reserve cash. If they would sell some further players like Zaza (20m), Manzukic(20m), Pereya(18m) who all still look like leaving, they might actually be able to afford it without selling Pogba. But must say I think it is unlikley because it feels very unlike Juve.

I think he still hasn't posted on Instagram so I believe he's waiting to post something big like zlatan did, we are more than likely waiting for Higuain to go through so it takes the heat off Pogba leaving and they will both be announced at the same time.
This way Juve fans can be happy with a new signing and not worry about the price because they know they have £100m + from us.
 
Or maybe Utd have pulled out due to Juventus astronomical demands.

Di Marzio LITERALLY SAID It’s a remote possibility that Pogba stays in Turin.

Di Marzio's latest article is essentially a rehash of his earlier claims and verifying that Higuain's sale is not DEPENDENT on pogba being sold.

I feel like i'm in the fecking twilight zone. :lol::lol::wenger::wenger:
 
You all give way too much credit to Di Marzio, he is wrong so often, just like the other day when he tweeted gomes juve links only for barca to tweet they had signed him 45 seconds later.

Ed being in china doesn't mean a lot, he is probably just there for the city game tomorrow and then straight back to Manchester.
 
Or they already concluded it. Its not like his medical was going to be today. So paperwork done, waiting for Juventus to sign Higuain and announce this deal. Once we get back from China, we will have his medical.

Wouldn't it be much more logical Juve would be waiting for the Pogba deal before they conlude the Higuain deal ?

I mean in the logical order of first making sure you have bank guarantees for €120m+ before spending €94m on Higuain.
 
Can someone please thread ban ehsanul? He's fecking demented. Ignores any good news and posts the crap. It's surprising, he used to be a real muppet before, and who could forget his Anderson Not Allowed rant a few years ago? :lol:
 
Wish there is a way for me to send this thread in full meltdown without getting banned.
 
Thats what everyone thought but since yesterday there have reports that they could in fact afford him without selling.
i don't think it'd put them into administration, but it'd seriously limit their transfer dealings in the future unless they got great prices on some of their lesser players

I promised not to delve into this issue so I won't do that. Let's say that Pogba and juve won, United lost and most of that was thanks to mino. He deserves his cut
