Paul Pogba | Undergoing Medical | Helping out the Laundry Ladies
- Thread starter KM
- Start date
I feel roughly the same, the seams of that team were tearing apart, and I couldn't (and still don't) understand or agree with folks that thought everything was fine the state of United at that time. Although to be both fair and honest, by the time Pogba did get his "chances" under Ferguson in the first team I didn't think he was that impressive. Maybe, it was too late by then. Pogba's rep, for me, had been built up by United supporters who'd had the luxury of watching him outside the first team. It wasn't until he got to Juve and I saw him that I thought, "Christ, what have we done?"
I love posters who moan how boring is this thread. I mean you dont have to read it if you dont want to.
Not really it seems but most thought that we would be since he's Mourinho's agent in addition to our history of deals with him as a club.
feck offIt's mandatory reading, mate.
You're missing a square bracket
Palmeri's claims are perfect for him, because if Madrid don't sign Pogba then he can just say "well they DID try everything, but it was too late" and he wasn't technically wrong. It's classic ITK clickbait tactics. Clown
I wish he'd lose his Credibility.
Quick fix
Translation?
Kroos too
The Tanc tweets are in English a few pages back I think
Spot on brother, reverence for legends, if you diss em you don't know what being a red is.
Isn't it funny how them tweets on Palmeri's timeline are posted an hour or so before he goes live on TalkSPORT.
I'm sure it's so the presenters can say something along the lines of "Our italian football expert has some big updates on the future of Paul Pogba" or some shit like that.
Next tweet will be "Juventus officials seen in a conference room discussing the twitter statement announcing Pogba's departure".
"I have no idea what I'm rambling on about"
"I don't know anything. But I like to speculate all possible outcomes to prove I am right."
That Juvedotcom lad on twitter was the source for the Juve officials at HQ tonight. Apparently Sky Italia said Beppe will be there. They suspect it's either Higuain or Pogba related
Dogs yawn when they are nervous. These are simply muppets who can't emotionally hack it anymore but are at the same time too terrified for the world to go on without them so they choose to stand guard in this thread and let their frail emotional feelings known whenever the thread grows without the news they hunger for.
I guess i was looking at it the other way around where they wanted Kroos and would only get him IF Real were able to get Pogba. But you are probably right
Any chance people could post translations with the tweets please?!
I want to put this deal in to another perspective.
Buying Pogba doesn't nesseccerly put SAF in a "very" bad light. Making decisions is part of a manager's job and nobody gets every single decision perfectly right. I would say that a leader who don't make mistakes doesn't try enough.
In a huge club like United there is always political games, individuals who wants to position themselves and people with agendas. That goes with the territory. Sir Alex was a unique leader in many ways. Being in charge for more then 25 years means he was probably one of the oldest employees at the club. That along with his title as a manager gives him extra power. Combine that with unparalleled success and you got a Godfather who's untouchable. Very very few leaders reach that position.
Jose Mourinho has to build his own platform with loyal employees. Same as Woody. They probably co operate in many ways and probably benefit from each other's presence. You scratch my back and I scratch yours...
Getting rid of Giggs was a political statement. Look guys, there's a new sheriff in town. Mou needed to show that he had integrity and enough power to do whatever he wanted. Forcing a club legend out of the door was a message to everybody. I'm the new boss and I do what I want.
Buying Pogba isn't brave from my perspective. On the contrary it's a wise move. A new manager needs a new leader on the field. His own man who embodies his visions. Sir Alex had Cantona and Keane. Mourinho's choice is Zlatan and Pogba. Two charismatic players with huge egos. Just like himself. Good choice!
It would be faster to just run it through Google translate rather than asking about it :P
Yeah but it's more for those who just post any tweet that says "Pogba" or "United" in it. If they don't know what it says then don't post it
I'm also incredibly lazy.

Fair enough
Now, let's get this thread over the line! Push, laddies!
So I haven't been following this very closely. Has anything happened yet?
"Madrid is trying everything to hijack the deal of United ,Zidane with Pogba,deal/meetings with Juve,everything..."
I bought a new kettle. Nothing to report regarding Pogba though.
What's stopping the deal from happening then? This thread was updated daily with di marzio saying deal done, di marzio saying riola flying , tancredi saying deal is done, l'equipe saying deal is done. Are these guys not part of the media? Or just because their news is positive we tend to believe them and update the status?
Obviously something is wrong, it could be that the lot mentioned above were lying when nothing was in place, or that pogba is not convinced about united. Riola is not the problem as you do not haggle for 20million when you are paying 100.
United have made bids.
Reports of bids both being rejected and accepted.
Reports of Juventus trying to rob us further.
Reports that all is agreed.
Crerand asking why it's not been announced if all is agreed.
Muppets go crazy suicidal and cum all over the place at the same time.
He's going to Madrid, I've accepted it. fml I'm committing muppet suicide
So to guess a reliable transfer-price range on Pogba, I've counted Juventus' money and looked at how much above an average budget they are this year:
Confirmed: (Source: Transfermarkt.de)
Miralem Pjanic
32,00 Mill. €
Marko Pjaca
23,00 Mill. €
Mario Lemina
9,50 Mill. €
Benatia (Loan fee)
3.00 Mill. €
Possible transfers:
Gonzalo Higuain
Release clause: 94 Mill. €
Gabigol (40% of his rights)
18,0 Mill. € - Total sum might be more to gain the remaining 10,1%
Total sum: -176,5 m Euros.
So how much does Juve spend in average pr season?
2015/2016: (Earnings minus expenditure in transfers - Source transfermarkt.de)
- 56 mill Euros
2014/2015
- 17 mill Euros
2013/2014
+ 12 mill Euros
2012/2014
- 50 mill Euros
On average that is:
- 27 mill euros pr season.
Which means that with the total sum so far, including Higuain / Gabigol has spent:
152,5 mill euro ABOVE what the average spending season for Juventus has been over the last 4 seasons
Edited: Included Benatia

To be fair to Juventus, they have barely had any need to spend.
