To be fair Al Gore would most likely shoot himself for inventing the internet if he were to ever read this thread.
What the Al Gore who said Polar bears can't swim?, even though they are some of the best swimmers in the animal kingdom and swim over 30miles out to sea to find food.
 
Nothing. You could have been gone a week and still nothing. All parties are negotiating, still no deal yet, talk of Madrid hovering but no actual bid.

Nothing has changed for several days now. Just journalists finding a way to say the same thing with different words.

216 muppets have fainted

Nothing has changed.
Absolutely nothing.

Fixed.

You missed nothing
Cheers!
 
So are the Madrid fans crying out over Pogba? I imagine the are expecting the usual marquee signing this year so they must be.

My theory is that Madrid are using the media to make it seem as though they are trying, but at the same time don't want it to look like they lost out when he eventually joins us.
 
Not worried in the slightest. We will carry on our merry way without Pogba or the countless others we have supposedly signed over the years. There is something about Madrid that disgusts me and I have no problem with anyone going there as its bow to Cristiano or feck off. That guy rules the club with an iron fist and so he should, my boy Ronaldo, love him. I always laugh at the thought of the club big wigs standing around a fax machine blaming everyone but their arrogant selves, the fecking machine was probably unplugged.
 
Jesus it's not even Pogba delaying, we've already got a deal with him! it's the clubs arguing about Raiola's compensation.

It's like a massive boom bust cycle in here, akin to the scousers "it's our year!" cycle.

In honesty, we don't know with certainty what the delay(s) are, what has been agreed, and what any of the parties think. This is not the way to do business, it is unsavory - imho, all horse trading should be done in private.
 
Probably because lequipe said a week ago that the deal was done but that didn't turn out to be true as such. People will now only believe: Di Marzio, BBC and or the club itself (in that order).
L'Equipe didn't say it was done, they said the deal was very much on which we already knew from the reliable Italian journos.

Well the real involved parties are keeping it quiet, but the people and journalists demand to know what is going on 24/7. That is why we get so much recycled information and lies, nothing can be true all the time.

That's their modus operandi, the swines. If I had my white handkerchief I would be waving it at them.
 
I'm concerned that we arent being seriously linked to any other player except Pogba

Looks like all of our eggs are in one basket. Hope I'm wrong and we have an excellent plan B though
 
Jesus Christ, you guys shitting it are amazing.

We've got this guy in the bag, Di Marzio says we're close, Laudisa and Nerozzi say it's done but the shitters are having bowel movements over a bald mans quote.
 
Have some patience. I think he is as good as ours. I did predict earlier in the thread that Juventus will drag this one out and now it is being dragged out by someone be it Juve, his agent or Pogba himself (I doubt the latter).
I don't think he's going to Real for the following reasons - they don't need to break the world transfer fee for him considering their midfield and also I don't get the impression that F. Perez is convinced he is worth anywhere near the fee. How much of a poaching cnut is F. Perez when he wants a player? I haven't heard him say much about Pogba. Zidane may rate him highly but if Perez isn't sold then I don't think it will happen. The money isn't an issue for Madrid it's the influence of Perez in transfers which is an issue for the managers.

Fwiw I think Pogba must be bought now. If we haven't somehow wrapped up the deal then we haven't only lost a potential balon dor winner but also have made a massive rod for our own backs by inflating the market further and showing every club just how much we are capable of paying.

We're not being linked to another midfielder because we've got Pogba sewn up.
 
I wish we would just move on from this overpriced cnut and sign one of the other options with the profile Jose wants... Leave Juve hanging after their refusal to pay their contractually obligated 20% to the agent. They are taking the piss.

Would be nice to take one of Kroos or Modric off their greasy hands.
 
But Woody learned a lot in the last years.

Did he? His squadbuiliding is a mess (maybe this change with Mourinho), his timing also, while other teams have their squad ready since weeks and can do training, he still talking here talking there. While Woddward was in charge was in one time the case, that no rumours coming out and he just transfered a player? Then his overpaying, you will suffer years with that, cause it wont get backwards. This whole "galactico overpaying" thing with Pogba is a sign that he learned nothing,but that is getting worse. It seems that he dont talk early with players or stays in connection, he just coming on stage and say: "i can pay what you want", and this is something to less for some players.
 
I imagine that if anyone is leaking rumours to the press that Madrid are interested, it's Juve.
No one is leaking anything because there is nothing to leak. Its just rumors created by AS and Marca. Both bullshit Madrid biased newspapers.
 
I wish I could take shape-shift into Zidane and say a few more ambiguous quotes about Pogba while grinning and winking at the camera. The meltdown here would be amazing.
 
Higuain signing doesn't mean Pogbas leaving:
check this radio podcast:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/36599854

The lady on the show stated that Juve want Pogba to stay and that they can afford to keep him and have Higuain in the team.

That was dealt several pages ago. Either way according to all reliable journalists in Italy Pogba said he wants to go through Raiola. It was the only instance in which Juve would negotiate. And Marotta their CEO essentially confirmed yesterday that negotiations have happened.
 
Jesus Christ, you guys shitting it are amazing.

This is the best post in the last few pages.

Why are people going crazy about Zidane's comments? Real Madrid managers ALWAYS say that "they're interested in the best players."

It's a nothing quote. If Real wanted him, we would have every source out there telling us.

Just wait muppets, the boy is coming back home.
 
People are now going crazy over the people going crazy over the comments made by a man who was crazy enough to headbutt someone during a world cup final.

I'm not sure how this helps the situation but I just wanted to get into this thread before the real (Real?) meltdown begins.

There's not been anything substantial from anyone. That's kinda my point. Even from Marca, it's been dribbles of rumours and nothing of note. If Madrid were interested, Marca would be blowing up.

That makes me optimistic. If the Pogba deal was really turning iffy then surley we would be reported to have made contact with other targets.
 
SUMMARY of the nothingness of last 24 hours for those out of the loop:

- Di Marzio said Raiola and Marotta met in Milan yesterday to close the deal for Pogba to United. Di Marzio maintains Pogba is close to joining United.
- CDS, GdS and La Stampa have all confirmed the meeting did take place with CDS and GDS saying Ed Woodward was in on video call for the meeting
- La Stampa (journalist Nerozzi who is usually reliable on Juve) said the deal is agree and only payment structures are left to negotiate. €100m for Juve. €15m for Raiola
- AS brought out article saying Raiola cancelled a medical in Miami for Pogba. They mentioned the Doctor who was to conduct this medical by name but some twitter muppets tracked down this doctor on twitter and the doctor was clueless as to what this was about. AS was the only one's running the story and it's therefore certified BS by muppets alike
- Zidane came out with an interview where he says nothing of significance really other than saying Madrid would like Pogba. Sky Sports had a dodgy translation which made it seem as if the move is impending but it has since been established that Sky's interpretation was wide off the mark.
- Several muppets keep jumping in the thread with old dissected news and proceed to cull themselves. Famous last words: "Ah feck he's off to Madrid :( "

You could very well be right. Makes sense.

Exactly my point as well. There is nothing substantial because there is nothing to report on. They made it up themselves. Just to stir it up to act like Madrid were interested. All part of the saving face campaign because they cant afford Pogba in the first palce - they need to show that Madrid are indeed interested when in fact they arent.
 
Thing that worries me is that the pessimistic muppets here have been more reliable over the last few sagas than any news outlet in any country. They shit themselves and it all turns out that Ed has never even heard of the player in question. Or maybe our targets check these threads and see how nuts we all are and decide to stay away.
 
I am at the point of not caring about whether we sign Pogba. I won't pretend that he wouldn't massively improve the squad. That being said, I still think the squad is good enough to challenge for the title as it is. I really just want to watch us play and win again. If we get Pogba, great. If not, three of four principle targets is not that bad.
