Everything has stopped? Thats reassuring isn't it?
If we're refusing to pay the agents fee, and Juventus are refusing to pay too, then i think it's safe to say that chances are, unless one side cracks, this transfer isn't going to happen.

Otherwise it could be Juventus posturing for a while, what for now Higuain is signed though is unknown.
 
The correct translation is "We will see, at the moment everything stopped."

Pogba al Manchester United? Vedremo, al momento tutto fermo"

He may be referring to the fact that neither us nor Juve want to compromise on Raiola's fee.

Why would we want to carry passengers? Carrick would be a liability next to a player like Pogba.

Ina midfield two? Probably. He is at his best sitting in front of the back four with two midfielders doing the leg work.

Does he say though...

"We'll see, everything has stopped" or "We'll see WHEN everything has stopped"

Depending on what the actual translation is, it could mean two completely different things.

This thread must hold the record for the amount of times people have used the word 'posturing' in one thread.

I know everyone seems to feel this will be resolved shortly, but I can see it going on for a while yet unfortunately.

That's what Pogba is.

Personally, I think we lack someone to replace Carrick. A player that can pull the strings from a bit deeper. I think Pogba is too high risk a player to take on that role (and his movement isn't clever enough) but he's as creative as they come.

I personally don't think we're going to mould Pogba into Carrick's successor. I have a niggling suspicion we're going to sign a Matuidi type anyway and maybe pair him with Schneiderlin in the anchor.

I still think Pogba's long term future is in a more advanced role, or at the very least the most advanced of a midfield 3.
 
Cant post the link but ESPN (Miguel Delaney) saying its now at a stand off. Highlights:

Juve want 120m plus Utd pay agent fee
Total deal would be 145m (Juve + Agent fee)
Utd expect to make considerable money from Pogba's image rights, therefore, additional 20m not prohibitive
Utd reluctant to pay it and want to negotiate
Pogba happy to join Utd but would rather Madrid and has not ruled that out

Why is it going to be an interesting 48 hours? How do you know that it's not going to be 72 or 96 hours until something happens? Not aimed at you specifically, I just think it's strange how many posters in here are just claiming one thing after another without actually knowing anything.

If he said 'fermo' that definitely means stopped. Not sure how many different interpretations you can have of that sentence. What we do know for sure is that he lies quite regularly, so you don't have to believe everything he says.

Contradiction? Is it a stumbling block or not?

Don't worry, I don't believe a word old wonky eyes says.
 
Not being funny!! But if you pay 120m I wouldn't be expecting to pay agent fees!!
 
Also if he is "Happy to join United but would rather Madrid" Do we really want him here? Would he not be kicking up a fuss to move at around 27/28?
 
Yes! 24,9% voted No regarding Pogba,so was wondering will mine vote push it to 25%...guess what 25% bitches!

I was wrong, AS are worse than The Sun,

Surely, no publication can be worse than The Sun?
The Sun make up their football transfer headlines. Literally, make them up out of thin air. Blatant lies, with no basis of truth or a source.
For example, I thought this up a few seconds ago: "Higuain transfer hijacked by MCFC. MCFC are currently in talks with Higuain to join Guardiola's revolution. Juventus are currently biting their nails, hoping Higuain signs for them, though this is not a certainty. Pep is now favourite to bring what is likely to be the most expensive striker in history, to MCFC!"

You see what I did there? The Sun do exactly the same thing.

It's the former.
 
This is so boring now. If it was Bale or a proper game changer for £100m then okay fair enough but for an unproven player (who probably ultimately has designs on playing for Madrid) it's got all out of hand now.

Unproven player who has played major international finals and Champions League finals?
