Jesus some in here seem really traumatized by Real Madrid. If there was any chance he was going to Real they would have had their usual media campaign to unsettle the player. That as far as i'm aware hasn't happened, theres been nothing from spain beyond made up stories of Italian doctors in Miami.
 
Woody just needs to get this done already, the delays are killing me!
 
IF we haggle for ages to reduce costs slightly and Real sudenly come in and sign him in a day .... oh boy.

Probably won't happen, but ... oh boy.
 
Seriously what the heck is with this day and night cycle. Great news at night and then bad vibes throughout the day.
The thing is there's never actually any bad news. It's the handful of people that frequent this thread, continuously spreading doom and gloom, that makes it feel like something bad is happening. They have made this thread unbearable.
 
Speaking in an interview, the 34-year-old stated: "Everything happened very quickly. A good friend of mine who was running to be on the Barcelona board, Sandro Rosell, had asked me if I'd play for Barcelona when they won the election and I told him that I would.

"I was on the brink of joining Manchester United, there were just a few details to iron out, but Rosell called me at the last minute to tell me that they were going to win the election.

"That made everything happen very fast".

"I wanted to play there," added the Brazilian. "I was going to have the chance to follow in my idols' footsteps. I was proud to play where Romario, Ronaldo and Rivaldo had done. I was lucky enough to become the new Barcelona 'R' which I really loved."

Few details to iron out...
Ronaldoinho had idols and connections at Barca. Pogba has an idol and a connection with Real (Zidane). All going to come down to whether Zidane can get Madrid to cough up the cash.

Barca came in late because they were having a presidential election and had missed out on Beckham. Between that and Kenyon acting like a prick in negotiations making bids he hadn't cleared with the board is why we missed out on Ronaldinho.

In this case they don't have to. ZZ is their trump card. He's in contact with Pogba and he's Pogba's idol. It's a matter of if Juve would negotiate a lesser fee with Real or just our warchest of cash.
 
La Stampa who are very reliable and super close to Juve have said so.

La Stampa have said it's done. As wel as another Journo close to Juve. Can't think of his name right now. You're wrong.

La stampa said we will finalise not that it has been finalised. The deal isn't done. and about 200 sources the caf has agreed are reliable have already said similar.

And for all the Madrid talk, we've not heard Pogba in agreement with Madrid at all......

Just relax you crazy bunch
 
This saga is like a drug. I've not had any highs since the first breaking news, but I keep coming back in the hope that I will get that high again.

I'm not not relaxed im just pointing out the idea it is a done deal is ridiculous, if it does get done it will explode immediately, betting will be suspended, the club will confirm, every paper will jump on it, will be trending on twitter, the deal isn't done yet, i'm not saying it won't be all i'm saying is there is no way to know if it will be or won't be but at the very least we know it isn't done yet.

But they always run their media campaigns when they are making a big move, they usually start shortly after the season has ended or half way through a major tournament. They did it with Ronaldo, Bale, James, Modric etc etc.

It hasn't happened yet and i doubt it will, which leads me to believe they are not actually in for him. No one is Italy is mentioning Real they are pretty much all saying Pogba to United is almost done, Marca keep saying Real don't want to or can't pay the fee required. And even if they could they would have to sell James first who doesn't want to leave.

See Higuain yesterday
 
I don't get the tension here in this thread. If we sign that guy... fine. If not... no tragedy. We still have some weeks to get one or two or three transfers done. The only mistake we could make is to wait till the last day to realize Juve is not selling. But Woody learned a lot in the last years. And also Mourinho is too smart to make such a mistake imo.

Personally, I would be interested in who is Mourinho's target player if Pogba is not coming.

That is a much better account of the quotes, Goal.com have used poetic licence to suggest that ZZ and RM are working on a deal for Pogba. When in fact it reads much more like they are working in pre-season. It's just sensationalist journalism in my opinion.

To be fair:

"The question is direct and I always say things. But now is not the time to talk about it. Everyone is interested in Pogba. He is a great player and when you're with Madrid you always want the best. Now you have to respect some things, he is a Juve player, today I cannot say anything."

Still sounds pretty obvious, doesn't it?

If Mou/Woody were saying things like that everyone would be up in the air and celebrating it as a done deal or at least very close. It's the same like in many other sagas before - quotes/news which are pro United are most likely reliable whereas all the other stuff is just BS.

La Stampa could make up stories as well as they need to sell papers, generate clicks etc. though! Those are legit quotes from the head coach of Real Madrid who is an obvious admirer of Pogba and has been for a long time now - if he calls, Pogba will be there in a heartbeat, no doubt about that.

I've never had my hopes up in this transfer (not like in the Sneijder or Vidal sagas) and it seems to break down slightly piece by piece again..

You've even taken to stuttering! :) Look, there is so much bullshit flying about but you would expect that for this kind of deal. There is what's happening on stage and what's going on behind the scenes. There's lots of misinformation out there. We all knew how this would pan out. However, after all this time - no where have we seen Madrid reaching a contractual agreement or any kind, with Pogba. At this stage - where is their agreement? Even rumored?..

We've seen a lot of talking. If they could afford him, they would have paid the money. They've not been able to budge anyone. As I said before, there was a rumor of the Higuain deal taking another week...and then it was concluded the next day. That's that situation. We don't know but we can be optimistic.
 
Those quotes makes me doubt it for the first time in weeks. First real and substantial quotes we've had from Real and Zidane.
 
13 pages since I last checked in at 1 am. Did some of you not sleep?

Our stuff could be bs too, remember the amount of contracts we had with thiago signed from reputable sources and how many times was vidal scheduled for a medical. I just follow the story properly, its important to remember in life, never go full muppet.
 
Agreeing. That was what a done deal looks like, not this mess.

I know the forum is either people believing ever bs source that says he is coming or every bs source that says the opposite, it reaches fever pitch every single day then nothing happens again.

Yes, i remember the celebrations on here when LVG name checked Di Maria before we signed him. Isn't this similar to that?
