Don't let facts and statistics get in the way of your feelings.It's like the GOP convention in here.
I am not sure we should be so specific because if you asked any player in the world what is their first choice club they are likely to say Madrid or Barcelona. I would just say in general that we should only sign players who express an interest in playing here. I can accept being second choice to Madrid in this scenario as Pogba knows Manchester, knows the club, this will not be like AdM.Having followed this thread for weeks without posting, my own view is that however fantastic a player is and however much he'd improve us, we should only pursue him if we're his number 1 choice. If there's any doubt about that, I'd rather the club didn't continue the chase.
For the millionth time, we don't need another 4 or 5 "decent" players to pad out the squad, we need a huge signing of a proper world class (or semi-world class) player to elevate the whole squad.
People seem to think signing about 8 players in a summer is a good idea to build a team with We'll spend about 6 chaotic months trying to blend them together and just end up being too far behind anyway.
This is all based on Madrid propaganda bs. There is no evidence of this.Exactly.... If the reports about him waiting for Madrid are true, then we should just forget about him and move to our next targets. We shouldn't sign a player who's heart lies with another club. Even if we sign him this summer, what guarantee do we have that he won't be forcing for a move to Madrid next summer. I am not sure about him staying with us for more than 2-3 years, especially him having Raiola as his agent. He is 23 now and he is not even near world class at the moment. The reason why we are paying a crazy crazy amount of money for him is because he has the potential to develop into a world class player. But even if he does fulfill his potentials and become a world class player, it will take at least 2-3 years for him to reach his prime. And by then, he and his agent will be all over us forcing a move to Real. So, what is the point of buying him for such an absurd amount when we know that the players heart lies with another club and most probably will leave us sooner or later?
And what if he fails to fulfill his potentials and never reaches the heights we are expecting? Then we over paid a huge sum of 80 millions on an average/above average player. Yes, i know that every signings has it's own risks and nobody knows about the future. But when you are spending an absurd sum of 120-140 million on a single player, you better make sure that he really wants to join you and he will stay with you for a very long time. In case of Pogba, if we are signing him for the reported amount, we should get his service for at least 5-6 years.
In short, after going through all these reports, i won't be disappointed if we don't get Pogba. I would rather prefer us to sign Kroos (70m) and Matuidi (20m) OR James (60m) and Matuidi (20m) plus another CB (30-40m) and we are good to go.
Really doubt that is their plan.I still dont quite believe this is gonna happen. Would love it, but still cant see it.
Sounds too familiar, like we are doing the negotiating on Madrid's behalf. Find the fee, sort the agent fee split, get everyone happy, then Madrid come in, match everything word for word and Pogba chooses CL football over us.

I agree with you on this but I do think that for Higuain to signed and sealed Pogba must already be done and dusted. I can't see Juventus blowing 94m Euros or whatever it is if there is any chance Pogba could fall through in any way failed medical or breakdown in talks or whatever, they wouldn't take any chances with almost 100m Euros on the line would they ?I can't see Pogba being announced before Higuain is. Juve have been posturing for a while, so to appease their fans, they'd surely have to sign Higuain first.
Seen a picture of Pogba and Raiola laughing in a swimming pool.

Madrid is slap bang in the middle of Spain, pretty far away from any large body of water. England is a small island, and Manchester has a canal running through it. It's so on.Seen a picture of Pogba and Raiola laughing in a swimming pool.

Yeah that could be a good shout. Either way I hope everything is sorted out before the community shield at the latest.Or release the bombshell of Pogba leaving first, and then immediately calm the hysteria by announcing Higuain after. Not sure they want their last bit of business to be their star player leaving.
Not always, we don't have to have a continuous leak of information for something to be on.When it goes quiet, its normally because the lead has gone cold ....this saga is beginning to feel like Hazard or Vidal.

Kinda feel L'Equipe hurt themselves with such an early "deal done" report, but they are still reliable enough.

No mention of Real Madrid in Di Marzio's report. Shows how clueless Marca and AS really are.
#Calciomercato | #Juventus , From #Matic to #Witsel and #Matuidi : the names for the midfield if part #Pogba
Pogba is always close to Manchester United , even at this time there will be contacts between Mino Raiola and Juventus to try to close.
On departure from the French footballer, Juventus will try to market a new name for the midfield.

If a deal is agreed between the clubs, then Pogba won't have to return to Turin at all. He'd probably leave his holiday early and head to Manchester for a medicalKeith Russell @Keith_Russell 3m3 minutes ago
Sky Italia saying Pogba isn't due back to Turin until the beginning of August. Great another week of this nonsense.

That makes no difference either way. We knew his holiday was until the 6/7 th August. No reason he doesn't come back to Europe before then, have a medical, then go on holiday again in europe somewhere for another week. Plenty of players have done that.Keith Russell @Keith_Russell 3m3 minutes ago
