Woody, king of the lowball bid. It is his knack for business that made us pay only £27 million for Fellaini, after all.

The tweet is gone, what did it say?
Is just shy of 80M Euros, which as Duncan Castles says at the start of this thread is the least amount that Juve are looking for.How did it go from 120m euros to 65m pounds?
For that price surely Madrid will be all over it too though :/
If Madrid want pogba they will get him .
if they don't want him then I'm sure we have a chance .
I hope Madrid sign hazard instead of I'm being honest .

He's the reason I reckon United never went all out for Sanches.
This stinks of all the other failed attempts if I'm honest. I just can't see it happening.
I just hope we don't invest all our time into this for us to be caught short come the season start without anyone!

The tweet has gone and there when you load up the Pogba article on the Guardian there is nothing about it, just the Zlatan story.
You really believe we only concentrate on one player at a time?
I saw the article when it mentioned Pogba, it does seem to have changed back though.
I'm starting to think that we're going to make a very expensive signing. No idea who, but just a feeling I get after Zlatan and Mkhitaryan have seemingly been wrapped up (to go along with Bailly). I think we'll spend the next two months chasing a potentially world record breaking signing. It could very well be Pogba.
I think we've got 2 more signings left in us. Pogba or an alternative and a versatile fullback.
We'll then let a couple of first teamers go.
Guardian have taken their article down.
Ogden has something simliar.

I'm trying to convince myself there's no chance of this happening and not get my hopes up, but Zlatan arriving has put me in full on muppet mode. It's happening!
There is obviously something in it but I'm leaning towards agreeing with you on that we have been down this road for far too many times. We should have a credible alternative like LVG had Blind on ice when we were after Vidal in 2014. You are right that our CM options are either aging or poor so we do need an injection of quality badly.
Well yeah, but we'll have the alternatives lined up. It's only natural we'll go for the biggest targets first. Buying an alternative if Pogba is still available will send the wrong messages to him.
We are definitely interested, too much smoke.. Whether we pull it off is another matter.
You think its likely? I don't...
Plus there's the fee. You could arguably spend the money on 2-3 quality players and improve the team more.
We want the player? Check
We're willing to pay a lot of money to get him? Check
No one else willing to pay the same? Check
Juventus willing to sell at the right price? Check
Player willing to come? Check
What could go wrong?

Woodward?
Haha. To be fair that one was a bit of a drop off in quality.
Some of the mentioned assumptions.
I would think that's very debatable. Sounds more like Mino is having to try and convince him of the project (ugh).
Players are always willing to move when more money is involved
Oh God, the Vidal thread flashbacks
It certainly was but he has his uses and played an important role on helping us finish fourth. We were never going to get anyone as good as Vidal considering that a) he was the best at what he did then and b) it was so late in the window.
As much as I cant see it actually happening, wouldnt this be the best time for Juve to sell, as in ever command a bigger price? 23, euro tournament but not really pulling up trees in it etc
Shades of Ramos in this speculation
Maybe, the problem is that we can spend the summer trying to sign Pogba while other teams sign realistic midfielders like Pjanic, Gundogan, Renato Sanches, Kante, Krychowiak, among others. And at the end we could end up with an average midfielder instead of Pogba.
For £65m we should be all over him. Everyone was worried we would spend close to £100m. When compared to that this amount aint bad.
Not really. That was an obvious case of a player with no interest in leaving looking for a new contract. He's the Real captain for heavens sake.
I will not get sucked into this.
watch them scoop in and get it done in hours. Bayern have no chill.At least we can rule Bayern out of contention
He is coming. I can feel it. I called it two weeks ago when I said this is going to be cafe's saga this summer. But this time it will end well. We will get our target.
I'm beginning to think this may realistically happen. Make no mistake Pogba is taking notice of the "project" and sees that we have a world class manager in Mourinho and have now added Zlatan and Micky. Star players and managers attract other stars, we now have pull again.
I'm waiting until the BBC or Di Marzio report on this.
Woodward has had enough of mediocre and is doubling down the chips.
Go big or go home woody!!
