Problem with having these second and third targets is that if we don't get Pogba, any other club we go to will know how much we were willing to pay for him, and they'd make sure to ask for absolute top money for them.
I know we pay over the odds for most players, but we'd get wiped out for any other targets i can imagine.

There doesn't seem to be any main headlines on the back pages of the English tabloids about Pogba for tomorrow just Froome.

The English press are nowhere on this. News will break in France / Italy and the English will write their catch up articles as 'exclusives'

That's because the English media know nothing. They'll start reporting on it once it's all done.

I would say it's the opposite actually. If we cave in to every demand from Juventus for more money then in the future the prices we are asked to pay will naturally be higher. Walking away now would have the opposite effect.

Everybody knows we are loaded. They won't give us players for peanuts.

Juventus have demanded €120m from the very beginning, if the Italian journalists are to be believed. We've offered that but with add ons as part of it, and that's where negotiations are at last we heard. It's not Juventus asking for more and more.

Doesn't really matter if we cave in to their demands or not. We valued Pogba at over £100m and were prepared to pay it, so knowing that, PSG might value Matuidi at £70m knowing we have the money to pay it. If Barkley is one of our targets, Everton might value him at £65m, knowing we have the money to pay that. They wouldn't have to budge either. We could knock them down, yes, but it'd be difficult, especially if they have no reason to sell

If we walk away from Pogba because Juventus wanted too much money then we can walk away from other clubs who we feel are overvaluing their players too. That's the point. However if we spend ages trying to negotiate a better deal only to end up paying Juventus whatever they want then clubs are naturally going to follow their lead and try and take us to the cleaners every time.

Personally I don't really care how much we pay for players (provided they are good players!).
 
I'm not jumping the gun, but once we get this over the line, we will all be camped out in the Griezmann thread this time next year!
 
Also why is everyone talking about the hairdresser thing again? Any new reports on that front, didn't that happen like a week ago? :lol:

Whatever it takes to keep the muppet juices flowing, I guess.

I agree with you, but when Jose has said we'll close one, if we leave Pogba, we're definitely get one of the other two targets, and the selling club will make sure we pay way over the odds for them. As i say, we always tend to over-pay but with the crazy money we're willing to pay for Pogba because thats what Juve value him at, other clubs could, and probably would, follow suit knowing the have the money. So what do we do? Just walk away from all deals because the selling club is overvaluing their players? I'm the same as you, i don't care what we pay, we have experts in the finance department who know what they're doing, so it's all good
 


"Measured by income, Paul Pogba will potenitally be as expensive as Rio Ferdinand. Expensive, but not madness"

This is quite an interesting stat these days. The market is crazy, yes, but for a reason.

Woody will make it happen, believe me.

There's a specific release clause in place, we'll need a number 10 when Jose realises how bad Wayne is. Griezmann is a United fan and his brother will muppet too, his best pal Pogba will be here also.

The stars are aligning!

Rashford/Martial/Griezmann/Mkhi :drool:
 
So when do people think the deal will be done (not officially announced but reported by sources like Di Marzio that the deal has been concluded).

I think Tuesday.

Madrid still trying to push that propaganda

Ah good ol Madrid. When he finally signs for United they can spout all kinds of crap saying how Pogba wanted Real, but his agent sabotaged all hope of a move and forced him to move to United and how Real could have afforded the fee no problem, you know how it goes.
