When do we get back from tour and what other pre season friendlies do we play after Galatasary?
After Galatasaray we have Rooney's testimonial against Everton, and the Community Shield against Leicester

The press conference was outside though, pitch side.
Pogba alone won't solve our problems. He is used to having top players around him. Even if you take Pogba out of Juventus. They still have a better centre midfield than us.
Carrick/Schweinsteiger - Old/no legs injury prone. Herrera/Schneiderlin are promising but are no where near top level yet.
I think for Pogba to do well. We would need Kroos/Matuidi also. You could argue that buying Kroos & Matuidi is better option.
Pogba is not a Luka Modric the type of player that will dictate play he is someone who needs to be as forward as possible to be effective.
If you look at the players Pogba had around (Pirlo, Vidal & Marchisio) him in the 4 years he has been a Juventus and look at what they have no now compared to our current Central midfield the gulf is huge.
Pjanić was my number no.1 target this summer. Disappointed we didn't move for him.
Not saying I would not sign Pogba I still would but I think he needs a proper partner to truly thrive. We have too many squad/peripheral players, that extend beyond just the midfield.
I don't see the likes of Young, Lingard, Jones, Rojo, Valencia & Memphis setting the world alight for us. We know what most of them are capable of few of them should have been shipped years ago.
We.can.do.it.See that's just posting for posting's sake. I realise there's some desire here to break the Vidal record but let's try to make it as organic as we can.

I didn't think he went to China?Anyone seen pictures of Ed Woodward in China?
The look on Ed Woodward face looks like a man that just bought a brand new car.
The Pogba deal is done now.
Wasnt he aready gone by then? I remember Paddy was giving some radio host shit because of (truthful) reports that's Van Gaal had been asked to leave? Paddy really needs to pick his battles more wisely.Paddy Crerand is an idiot who should keep his mouth shut, remember his stand up row that LVG was categorically definitely not getting sacked? He went less than 24 hours later
What have Schneiderlin or Herrera done to suggest they are good enough?Schneiderlin, Herrera and Pogba make for a good midfield imo with Pogba being the more advanced of the 3. (Don't think we'll see that for a while as Rooney/Mata won't feature and we all know Rooney will be playing for a while at least)
Why would Napoli, who've been very vocal about not selling to Juve, agree to make the payment easier for them?Both clubs will discuss about it, but a buyout clause leads to free agency while a release clause is just a transfer fee set by contract.

Pictured at some stadium in China todayI didn't think he went to China?
hes not even an elite midfielder, cant believe people have written 589 pages, for this, in amost every big transfer page for a big name player, I`ve only commented 2-3 times, and that just to tell people that the deal is not happening, and these twitter ITK are full of shit, and make a living out of lying
Yeah, let's just chuck money at problems..... like Madrid do and we laugh at them.Guardian reported juve have rejected 92mil. So that's 84m and 92m rejected. i feel once we hit that 100m pound mark, hes ours.
What was he expected to say? confirm rumours and say 'yep, he's off lads, lets rejoice!'. It's called sticking up for your manager, something some of our own fans could learn from. the journo was out of order for pressing the issue less than 24 hrs after we'd won the cup.Wasnt he aready gone by then?

Fecking Juventus.
Jose's JuvenilesProbably been asked before, but will Pogba count as an academy product?
If yes, and if TFM and Pereira can continue their development, you can potentially have a midfield three composed of academy players. Jose's Children
Yeah, let's just chuck money at problems..... like Madrid do and we laugh at them.
Heavens forbid we see if Jose is as good as he thinks he is and can make decent players into a team?
Probably not act like a complete loony and put the phone down. If that's what you call sticking up for the manager, I hope he doesnt go into the field of public relations. A simple "I've never heard anything" or "those are just rumours to the best of my knowledge" would have done. Not going mental about something factual and ending up with egg on his face. Paddy always wants to be the big voice in the room, so you cant have it both ways. Either be a United spin doctor or always be factual. You cant have it both ways and retain any credibility.What was he expected to say? confirm rumours and say 'yep, he's off lads, lets rejoice!'.

Yes, everyone was laughing at them in May weren't theyYeah, let's just chuck money at problems..... like Madrid do and we laugh at them.
We all know this is overpriced, which is mainly down to our stubbornness not wanting to sell. At this point you could offer less for Kroos or Vidal and get a better player.
Where is the tweet about United having no intention of going back in with an improved offer?
Wouldn't say better. I think what United have lacked for a long time is a player in midfield who can drive with the ball.
Mourinho mentioned that he knows the profile of player he wants. That means, if we don't get Pogba, we won't get Kroos or Vidal, because they simply aren't the same types of players. We'd move on to targets who have similar playing styles.
Having said all of that, if you lot get Higuain for 85M - a soon to 29 year old, who is known to flop in big games, then 100M for Pogba is justified, in my opinion.
I don't understand United fans that laugh at Real with their 5 champions league crowns .Yeah, let's just chuck money at problems..... like Madrid do and we laugh at them.
Heavens forbid we see if Jose is as good as he thinks he is and can make decent players into a team?
Comparing it to Higuian then it's totally justified. Higuain fees is mind boggling.
Anything above 100 m pound?Were there any new rumors of Juve rejecting a 92mn bid? At what point do you guys say feck it and move on to new targets?
Some say the deal is done and it's all rehashed news because the journos have nothing new to report.Were there any new rumors of Juve rejecting a 92mn bid? At what point do you guys say feck it and move on to new targets?
