Then it will give us a chance to sign one of their players.I'm sure that Perez will stump up the money once he knows we are in for him.
Poor effort.Not the best photoshop but...
Judging by history, Madrid have the same chance as winning the champions league as us next season!
As no team has ever retained it and I expect that to continue.

Looking at the pixels I think it's Rooney's body, Blind's arms, and De Gea's face with Pogba's hair.Poor effort.
Clearly Rooney's body with Pogba's head.
3/10.

Terrible attempt.
I don't agree with that at all. Raiola is not a manager who pushes for transfers. He works for his clients and for what they want. I don't know why he has such a bad reputation here.If our history with Pogba and his agent has taught us anything, it's that Raiola will do whatever it takes to agitate for a move with his players. It's only smart to consider the next move before agreeing a deal, and Pogba is a player with an exceptional sell-on value, which makes a massive transfer fee easier to sell to the owners.
Rather we spent the cash mentioned on Bale if there was a chance of getting him.
That Pogba fee is massively inflated.

I agree with all of this, still won't be holding my breath.Which is why, as I said before, I think Raiola would favour a move here. He can get a feck tonne of money from us and a good place to develop during the next stage of his career before finally sealing the golden move to Madrid when he's 27/28. It's a natural progression that has financial benefits doing it that way.
If he goes to Madrid now, it's feasible that in 3/4 years he could be looking at a sideways step or step down in wages when either he or Real decide it's time to move.
Don't know really, I know they're not all writing lies and half truths but we rarely see accurate reporting when it comes to the movement of players until the deal is done, there seems, to me at least, a lot of shit being thrown at walls to see what sticks but that Di Marzio chap seems fairly clued up and certainly when he writes something on United people on here get very excited.Out of curiosity which trustworthy Journo would make you get your cock out?

No player can make you win trophies on his own.Won't be a popular opinion but I don't find any logic in spending record amounts on players who can't win the league on their own. Ronaldo, Bale, Hazard, Martial,Suarez are all attackers and while the fee may have seemed insane, one could atleast see the logic: the clubs felt that these players can win trophies on their own . Central midfielders can't win on their own and although good CM means better chances of winning, a good CM without good front 3/4 is useless
I highly doubt Madrid can compete with us financially right now.

Martial was with us last season and didnt win us the league, heck we didnt even get champions league with in the squad.Won't be a popular opinion but I don't find any logic in spending record amounts on players who can't win the league on their own.

Does he play number 10?They are not selling Bale so it's moot.
Fine with me. We'd get some serious trophies.If we sign Pogba, Mkhitaryn and Ibra, Raiola is going to be getting paid some serious money by Utd.

Bale was at Spurs and never won them the league
Suarez at Liverpool never won them the league
Ronaldo and possible Hazard to a degree won their respective teams the league when playing in the EPL, but when Ronaldo, Bale and Suarez joined Madrid and Barca they won the league not on their own but with the players around them. To say they won the league on their own is wide of the mark.

Agreed. I can't even begin to imagine what he'd need to achieve to be considered a success in relation to the fee. It's difficult enough for forwards who consistently put in match winning performances, never mind a midfielder.Pogba has a lot to do to meet expectation if he goes anywhere for the touted fees.
He's not even close to being that level of player at the moment and I wonder if he'll thrive or crumble under the immensity of the spotlight revolving around his transfer fee.
Hayley McQueen?
If we can do it in addon type of deal then compare to 80mil Euro for Renato, this 120 mil deal may turn out. Pogba's huge marketable value plus Mourinho team hype on top of Manchester United marketing platform can help make 120 mil feel like 80 mil in a short time. Pogba is an established player so can be an instant boost in team performance. He was with us in England so would take less time to adapt. Is he qualified for homegrown requirement?Pogba has a lot to do to meet expectation if he goes anywhere for the touted fees.

Why would the richest club in the world for 4 years in a row according to Forbes have a problem competing financially with us? Do tell.I highly doubt Madrid can compete with us financially right now.
If you don't want it to be taken literal then don't keep saying it. How about Toni Kroos? Xavi? Iniesta? Even Paul Scholes, Roy Keane? did they not play CM and become the driving force behind their teams winning trophies.Martial has the ability at least and that's why he was bought,
Bale took a very average Spurs side to 4th place, when the big 4 were good and that is in itself an achievement.
Suarez took them to within a point of the league
What I said was not a literal expression! All I am saying is Central midfielders, even the best of them, can't win the league for a team.
Teams can be successful with good attackers but not some not so great central midfielders in today's game but not vice versa- Wales, SAF's last season side, etc.

Pogba will have to probably make himself a no. 10 and score a gazillion amount of goals to please people if he goes for 100 million plus. I don't care though, if he becomes one of the best box to box of his generation and leads successful campaigns for his club, it should be enough. Anyway, don't see this happening for United still.
