The manager of Real doesn't buy players, Perez does. And it seems very much Perez doesn't fancy the Pogs at all, so whatever Zidane says can be thrown straight into the garbage bin

Sanchez has had 2 disappointing seasons in the last 3.
He doesn't deserve to be on that list.
Some of you flipping out over this transfer.
It wouldn't surprise me if he is hanging on for a move to Madrid, strikes me as the type that craves attention and limelight. The more trusted journos have been saying we are close to a deal though and that's really all we have to go on so far so this seems on still...

Even that thread title made me come in to see what's happening.
I don't think Zidane would say things like "He isn't a Madrid player yet" if he thought he had absolutely no chance of signing Pogba
What I find more curious is that they seemed to give up on Pogba, nearly signed Andre Gomes instead but now have seemingly decided to re-enter the Pogba race
Precisely. It has been reported all summer that Zidane wants Pogba, it is Perez who has reservations. I just want this saga to end tbh, don't mind whether he stays or joins Real, just want this over with.
Only in here.
Go away for half an hour and someone gets murdered
Don't confuse Arsenal with Sanchez. Our attacking players will never get the credit they deserve because of our poor tactics and defence.. but anyone who knows football can see Sanchez is clearly world class and would start for any team in the world except Barcelona.
Or maybe they were never trying to sign Pogba to begin with. Just a crazy idea.
Mourinho won't take it either - he had said that he wants his team ready for the start of the season!
Pogba / Raiola had better stop playing games with us.
If they're both that greedy, then they can both **** off to Real - Big Deal, Is Pogba worth all that money after all? Did he manage to transform the French National team when they were in trouble?
In Italy all the media state that Bonucci is more important for Juventus than Pogba.
Madrid's revenge for Woodward making them look like pricks last season over DDG maybe.
Yeah, I've been hearing the same thing. Canal
And how many could we buy for 100 million? PS, no way is Sanchez on Pogba's level. I'd also argue De Bruyne and Higuain aren't worth that either.
And Real Madrid
Absolute bullshitter, basically just repeats whatever rumour is flying about on any given day.
Last week everyone reporting that Pogba is close to joining United and he repeats it.
Week later and theres a bit of speculation in Spanish papers about medicals, and a few Zidane comments. Now according to him Real are back in the picture, with a little added background info about Mourinho to make it seem plausible.
But why would Andre Gomes be first choice and Pogba second?
You think that he knows what Mourinho's thinking and the transfer? He doesn't. He is giving his opinion like all of them attention seeking Twitter 'ITKs'.
Ridiculous. Pogba overrating in here is absolutely crazy.
Pogba didn't influence basically any games in the Euros. Sanchez carried a crap nation to victory in a more difficult national tournament two consecutive years. Not even worth me posting in here to be honest.. there's no sense.

Don't get my wrong, Sanchez is a good player and ideal for a team like Arsenal but Pogba has the potential to be a world player of the year. He's 23 and already one of the best midfielders in the world. Sanchez is 27 and losing the stamina that made him close to being a 100m player in his early years.
Pogba is 23 and at present one of the best CMs or one of the best. He will only get better surely.
Plus cost isn't important when you aren't financially weak. I'm sure as Arsenal fans you know more than anyone that money in the bank isn't more valuable than top players you need. Higuain isn't worth 75m but do you think having 75m in the bank would help you win the league than higuain? It's a similar case.
It's not really the best idea to compare players international performance with their club performance. Loads of players don't turn up for their country but are very good for their clubs.Ridiculous. Pogba overrating in here is absolutely crazy.

Pogba was playing in deep midfield as well which isn't the role he is suited for imo
He never said that. Sky got translation wrong. Been discussed a few pages back already.
Who cares about Sanchez?
All this speculation about Real Madrid has come from paranoid RedCafe posters. There aren't actually any reports that state Real Madrid were seriously after Pogba. The most credible source of any interest was Ballague who unequivocally said Real Madrid aren't interested in Pogba for the price Juvents are asking. That's it, nothing more. Since then it's been people on this forum keeping the Pogba to Real Madrid rumours alive. If everyone would shut up about them there'd be nothing to discuss because there's no decent journalists actually linking him to Real.
I don't see how people can call it an embarrassment or that we'd lose respect in the marketplace if we don't sign him. How is it embarrassing to refuse to pay 145 million for a player? Quite the opposite, in fact. Not that I'll really care if we do pay that much. We've wasted FAR more than that paying down the debt over the last 11 years with feck all to show for it.
Don't normally trust him but that sounds legit to me.
Can everyone just ignore @The Purist attempts to wind you up and derail the thread.
Here he is a few months back putting Pogba in his world 11:
Now that United are heavily linked he's got sand in his vagina and is trying to make himself feel better that United are likely to sign a player he rates in the 11 best players on the world.
Nothing to see here.

Apart from the Real Madrid manager saying they were interested in signing Pogba, less than 24 hours ago, you mean?
Ha! Brilliant
Ah but he watches Pogba regularly remember..
You'd be excused for thinking that it's Raiola that we're trying to sign- not Pogba.
I mean, he's the one who seems to be doing all the talking and pissing us around, not the player.
I've got a real bad feeling about this. Not that we wont sign Pogba, but that if we do sign him, in a couple of years time when he has 12 months left on his contract, this tw*t Raiola will start dicking us around just as he has dicked around Juventus, Real, Abu Dhabi Athletic and ourselves this summer.
If Pogba wants to come - fine....Let's hear him say that. And when he does, I'll welcome him.
Othrwise, let's forget the shadow boxing, the blackmail, and the shit from his pimp and let's just move on.

cracking find.He did?
From my memory, Madrid said they wanted our best player.
And LVG and Woodward agreed.
Madrid were the ones who messed up, or should I say, their FAX machine.
Woodward could not have bent over further, for Madrid, than he did last Summer. The only thing he could've done is apply lube to Madrid's member, before assuming the position.
Even Fergie could not prevent Madrid from taking our best player back in 2009 (Ronaldo). He resisted them for 1 year, though.
And this is the reason so many fans are fearful of Madrid.
Madrid say, "we want your best player"
And we say, "okay boss".
Pilib doesn't really put his neck on the block unless he's sure, and to be fair he originally said Madrid were Pogba's favoured option not us, but if they didn't come in for him then he'd come to us, now he's saying he thinks there's are chance they are sniffing about hence the hold up, not exactly ground breaking stuff, but probably about on the money.
Still find it hard to see how Madrid will suddenly pay £100 m for a player that isn't really a game changer/scorer, who's fee would annoy likely Ronaldo, and who they don't really need, but maybe they'll just do it to get one over on us.
