This is it, isn't it?
The Sneijder, Thiago and Vidal threads will pale in comparison to this one in terms of muppetry.
I think Real Madrid will get him.

Where did you see that?
We have to pay £100m for the privilege of coaching him to be a better player?, while paying him a fortune even though he's not at the level he thinks himself to be.

That's 3 out of 4 correct. We have a great chance of signing Pogba. Believe!!

All.
As exciting as it would be to get him, can't see it happening. Madrid most likely or Juve will just keep him.
All over Twitter. But most seem to be referring to the Telegraph story that's already been quoted in this thread.
£50k a week and we wouldn't have had to pay shyt!!
Pretty sure Juventus will sell him if a bid of €100-€120m is made. And I'm quite confident we'll pay that. For me the only barrier will be Real Madrid. If France win the Euro's and Pogba is a key player they will do whatever it takes to get him.
I think Woodward would break the transfer record for a packet of peanuts just so we could say we had. He's desperate to do it.
We offered him that and he took less at Juve.
Actually money is an object contrary to popular belief. There is no bottomless pit of money at United despite record revenues. Glazers scrutinise every deal before agreeing to anything. That time when people accuse Woodward of dithering he will be waiting for go ahead from the Glazers. Unfortunately I cant find the link to the story on how during Martial deal Ed would call Glazers during negotiations each time he increased an offer and he would wait for an answer before increasing the bid and it went for the whole night. So Glazers call the shots not Ed
All things considered 90m for Pogba is very steep. The whole summer budget will be gone because Rantiola will need an arm and a leg as commission. There there are wages which are always a deal breaker in cases like this because wages are always more than transfer fee
I bet we'll spend around £200m this summer, assuming we get Pogba. It won't become a habit though because that level of spending is unsustainable. But I'm sure Mourinho will want considerable investment to start building a team he's happy with, and I'd be surprised if he wasn't assured of being given that investment.
Must not get pulled in
Clearly the fee wouldn't be a problem if indeed the club went through with it, especially as we're likely getting Ibra on free and have only spent money on Bailly so far. And that's not counting potential outgoings which will make out net spend far less than the Pogba deal would infer. Mata, Young, Fellaini, Rojo, Valencia, Januzaj et al, all may be on the chopping block which would lessen the net spend considerably.
The more you resist the more you see an image in him in a United top next season. Punishment!C'mon, you know your already there
Eric + Pogba comes to about 130m (excl commissions) that means we are left with about 70m or less. Miki will cost 40m and Zlatan will want a substantial signing on fee since he is a free Agent. So the budget is already exhausted/ exceeded which means we will buy 3 players at most, or 4 at a stretch if we find a cheaper one. All these players will want huge salaries top of that.
We need to stop buying average talent. First step is to establish a good core which would last good for 4-5 years. Martial was the starting point last year and we all saw how that paid off. Let's not stop now, get Pogba and I bet we wouldn't be looking back. Throw everything at Juventus, worst case we would make Real sweat and that's always a good feeling
What kind of signing on fee are you expecting if you think all that exceeds 200m? It's only a year or two contract so it wont be that big
And you have used euros for Miki
We offered him £30k after Juve offered him a more lucrative deal.
Someone needs to photoshop Pogba in a United shirt.
White text.
White text.
Gill said for a fact we matched Juves offer.
This feels like one of those situations where United are used as the stalking horse to force, in this case, Real's hand.
Pogba for me is a no brainer.... 90m, who cares.
The money United make these days is obscene and dwarfs most within our league. We could pay 90m for this guy and still have a bigger transfer budget than Liverpool.
Clubs will spend within their budgets and so should we.
Pogba is one of the brightest talents around at the moment, and available for the right fee.
Him leaving when he did was our fault, and looking back from his point of view, he made a great decision.
We missed out on CL football this year so we need to be in it next year or Adidas slash their sponsorship money. That money over them years would pay for this transfer.

We won't be signing more than 4-5 players anyway.
Regardless we messed up! When he asked for the money we didn't want to give it and couldn't promise him first team. What happened to lying?

Is the Kane one the one that's wrong? Because I fully believe that we would have made a move for Kane, even though it inevitably would have been rejected.
By how much, you reckon? At that rate we'd have more outgoing transfers than players coming in, when our squad is already threadbare
Except we're not signing Kante.
Phwoar, that would be quite excellent.
I wonder if Wesley Sneijder wears a Paul Pogba T-Shirt?
Guys don't do it to yourselves, he's a Madrid signing all over. There's no one I'd rather sign but there's not an ounce of me that believes it could happen.
No hopefully it'll be another defender instead.
Possibly. Also, Ibra is coming on a free.
