And why do you think that? Need I bother reminding you that United is not a small club, or do you enjoy having the small-club mentality?

Well he is close enough to that side of the spectrum
Completely agree. You better believe that if Madrid were actually in for Pogba and he was going there, we'd have an all singing all dancing media circle-jerk from Perez. He'd be updating the press minute by minute. The fact all the stories coming out of Madrid are nothing but butt-hurt, we're absolutely fine.
He's an actual journo. They are light years apart.
I don't believe madrid are in for him. I've never seen them pursue a high profile signing without excessive press coverage, tapping up, and press leaks.
If they wanted him, Marca would be mentioning him everyday.
Really believe its a done dealio, hopefully announced this week.

Indykaila is the biggest WUM to ever hit Twitter. How so many people believe him is absolutely beyond me.
You're missing the regulation spouting of the current Madrid players of things like "he'd be great for Madrid" or "he's exactly what we need" etc.
This is another reason why I think it's all tied up bar the shouting.
He's saying Zidane would have to ask Pogba not to sign the document until Madrid are ready to bid.
It's all very loose speculation and complete rubbish, he's just saying "why Madrid might still have a chance"
Madrid aren't interested. IF they were they would have bid by now and making loads of noise. None of the proper Spanish Journo's or papers say it's happening. Madrid aren't a worry.
Like I say I would imagine this is announced after Juve announce Higuain. No club wants to appear to be giving into another club easily. But what's being said behind closed doors and in public are two different things.
So if I now send out a Tweet saying Chelsea are lining up a sensational £140m swoop for Pogba, according to "sources", might I finally manage to get into double digits of followers?
He maybe a journo, the express have journos who work for them aswell, point is Tancredi has got a lot wrong over the years, so can't be trusted as a reliable source
Wow so much anger. Over a transfer?
Dude, this is a transfer thread - take it for what it is - it's supposed to be a bit fun.
Yep you are bang on, i missed that bit
Growing tired of checking this thread now. I swear the last 30 odd pages have just been tweets rehashing the same information over and over coupled in with people shitting themselves that Madrid are going to hijack the deal.
All journos get a lot of stuff wrong. No need to single out Tanc or compare him to some account that completely fabricates nonsense out of thin air.
I would imagine yes. State that you source(s) work within marketing and they went into overdrive the same day Woodward landed in China.
Im always amazed that not a single 'source' has come from Banking or Finance sectors. I would expect the leaks to come from there since those are the guys dealing with the money.
I think Juve are using Italian journos to show that are putting up a fight, but in reality they are happy to sell, hence DiMarzio getting Andre Gomez info wrong, Juve probably fed him it to suit their narrative.
Pogba was seen talking to an old man in a silly red coat, believed to be one of the Chelsea Pensioners.
Its actually mostly people cribbing about people worrying about Madrid, even though the point has been made over and over again.
Here we go again. Joy late night, negativity through the day. Its like a vicious circle, just like all the failed transfers go.
NDA's? I think it would be easy to trace the source, and the chance of them losing future business may be not worth the risk
I hear you. It's getting tiring watching people panic every time Madrid are mentioned.
I was wondering how ehsanul was going to spin the recent reports. Tancredi is just listing his own opinions, he doesn't know any more tha anyone else.
Yeah I think you're spot on with this.
Why are people choosing to believe Big Tanc and AS over the Di Marzio crew, who say that whilst Madrid may be interested, they can't afford it?
I thought Di Marzio et all were considered way more reliable than the Tanc.

Santos Marquez(Eto'o and Makalele's agent) said in the past that Perez didn't like black players. It may be because he was bitter, but who knows, it could be true
Yes but everyone knows how things pan out. Let's suppose Madrid told the truth and won't pay the money. Does anyone here actually think Madrid will disappear out of the narrative? No. But they feed on negative people. They feed on people who react to every tiny bit of news -true or otherwise. Interesting though isn't it? At no point have they said Madrid have an agreement with Pogba or his agent. It'll be fine
Ignore people saying him delaying maybe him waiting on them, they would have an agreement
I agree, and that is the point I was trying to make. From the club's perspective what really makes real difference in winning stuff, not simply getting a marketable player. Take for example the the Adidas deal, which is a minimum £750m guaranteed over a 10 year period that goes up or down based on our performance. We lose 30% of the payment due for the year if we are out of the CL for 2 consecutive seasons but we get an extra sum if we win the league or the champions league in a season. They have a get out clause if the club is relegated during the length of the deal. I am guessing most deals are structured that way.
I'd say it's due to the past history of Madrid wanting someone and getting them without trouble.
They see Madrids name mentioned against a player who we're after, and start to panic. After Vidal, Thiago, Sneijder etc, muppets have become fragile
I'm glad someone said it.Odd that you think he is spot on with that speculative post when he conveniently omits that :
- Pogba was totally over-run and looked clueless in the few matches he was handed game time (which were against rather poor opposition)
- That the Pogba that plays/played at Juve does not play in Scholes or Carricks position.
- That season we were in a tight title race that we ended up losing, Would you give a young player that previously showed he couldn't cope against poor opposition game time? (The drawback being totally crushing his confidence, because he'd have got abuse if he played like he did in his first games, and he'd have been hooked too).
But for some it is an agenda, whereas proof was in the pudding. The funny thing is that the Euro's proved he still can't play in central midfield.
Ah, but how many of those actually went to Madrid....
FFS
Just refer to them as "the cnuts who must not be named".
You are going too much by the Euros I think. It is remarkable to think that he was not ready to be played in the United team even when all other central midfielders were injured, after he did what he did at Juventus. Clearly the player was justified in thinking that he was entitled to the first team. Also I don't remember that Pogba was that clueless or was overrun in United's first team.
This is not going to look good if he indeed ends up with Madrid.
