Pogba is a very big investment, to be honest. And that's why you don't see so many news about about Madrid and Barcelona trying to buy him. I don't think that any other club will offer more than us.

Statistic skewed by Fellaini's afro?
Phil Jones balances that out with him hunched over (neanderthal)
If that is what is happening here. and it probably is, then I'd guess it's part of a mutually beneficial deal with Raiola.
Would be a nice headline ---- Pogback
Even when we were on top we struggled against Real and to be fair who wouldn't? They are the most prestigious club in the world and they always were among the top buyers. Big clubs have their era but Real are always among the top sides. Its almost a guarantee.
Considering that Real are Real + they have Zidane as manager I cant see us, the FA cup winners, can convince him to turn the CL winners down and return home
Eh? 1) Because we will pay him more than any other club is willing to; 2) the PL has the most coverage out of any league; 3) he likes the club contrary to what some on here believe. The reasons are many and persuasive, but the question is whether he wants Real/Barca so much that he would be willing to be paid less and possibly wait one more year.
I just don't find the appeal to Champions League football unless I really thought I had a chance to win it. Staying in Juventes is a long shot for them to get to the final in my opinion, and Madrid would have to win it back to back and I cant remember the last time that has happened.
So unless you are winning it, you are just putting extra wear and tear on your body, with an off season that has the Olympics, Euros and the Copa...????
If I were a player, I might indulge in the more relaxing schedule as opposed to the busy schedule...
just my two cents!

That first pass is just majestic.
Two things I've learnt from this
1. The guy likes to stay on his feet rather than going down on the slightest touch
2. Italian league has become shit and now I realize why they are so under performing champions league
No chance, they balked at Shaw's wage demands.
Pogaganda
Rumors are they might part ways with Costa and Hazard. If this is true, I see them struggling next year. They have talent, but they have more missing parts then we do by a long shot!
I'm not sure that's how players would view it
Plus we have the europa league..so unless he was just busy on Wednesdays nights and preferred to play on Thursday's I'm not sure that would go in our favour.
That could cost them, it would be a really hazardous decision.
Sounds ridiculous.
Why did no one ask him about United's interest?
And yet the Italians have been in the best form at the Euros - a vast majority of their players play in the Italian league.
Now that he's rich his Dad has come back into his life and fastens on him like a leech.
This may be completely untrue.
To the Lass Diarra thread!
He's shit anyway when you really think about it.
Obviously this Amoyal fella hasn't seen the state of our midfield.
Didn't want him anyway. Shit hair cut and all.
This really feels like Madrid have backed out. No press about Pogba being a fantastic player and all world class players need to play in Madrid etc or Pogba (or a 'source') saying its an honour to be linked.
He's either staying at Juve or coming to United with a realistic possibility of whatever it is already being sorted.
Madrid would never sign a player like this without the circus beforehand.

This whole 'flirt with United in the press when you want more money' thing is becoming incredibly disrespectful to us as a club. Woodward needs to stamp it out. Doesn't he realise it makes him look like a clown?
The thing is flirting in the press will only go so far, if the club you are currently with doesn't know who has approached them with interest in a player then there are huge problems at that club. Now if we are actually in for a player, then yeah we can be used as a tool to get more money, that is the nature of having more than one interested buyer.
Jose's 4-3-3 seems pretty dependent on him to work and it looks like he's thinking about how to get the most from Zlatan, his best form at PSG coincided with this system that employed an athletic box to box in Matuidi who could carry the ball and had the legs to make the runs and support from the midfield, no one in our current squad can provide that and people suggesting Kante and other defensive players are wide of the mark.
True. Usually there's a media campaign, most of the times headed by Marca. But Madrid remains his most likely destination since its known that zidane likes him. If Madrid back off we will most definitely get him by offering crazy money
Where will Rooney play? Doesn't he like that role on the left (LCM)? Maybe he intends to play Pogba and Rooney as interchanging LCM and 10?
Rooney will play as the deeper #8 until we finally accept he's done and get a proper CM in for that conductor role. The DM position I think will be filled by the squad already here unless we add Diarra.
Pogba---Rooney
----Someone
I get the feeling that Real would prefer Hazard if they can get him, like someone else said if Madrid want a player they flirt with him in the press for weeks then just come out and say they want him, we aren't getting that with Pogba at all, but then to argue with myself they're not doing that with Hazard either so in reality I'm as clueless as everyone else
But both Rooney and Pogba are considerably worse when played on the right side of midfield. They cant threaten to go inside or outside the defender with their left like they can do with their right (and you might have noticed most of rooneys cross field passes come from the left side to the right). They just don't fit in the same team imo
Edit- unless one of them curbs his attacking instincts a bit while the other plays as a 10.
Yeah. We are probably the only team who are willing to meet Juve's crazy valuation, which is why he hasn't moved elsewhere already. He may even want to go to Madrid but if they are 20m quid short it ain't happening.
You're right it's not ideal, nothing with Rooney involved is in truth, but I think he'd be the one to curb things and play the more responsible role in the set up as it would be crazy to pay a record fee for Pogba and then not play him in his strongest position.
Ready for this @Someone ?
Why are you tagging him?
You've described Kante as well. He isn't just a defensive midfielder. He can definitely take on players and carry the ball forward. Why did you want Krychowiak, if people are off the mark with suggestions like that? I mean it's fairly obvious to want Krychowiak or Kante if Rooney is going to be a regular in midfield, especially if Schneiderlin and Schweinsteiger can't improve, but your post sounds contradictory to me. No offense. Pogba obviously make sense, but for him and Rooney to work, we either need a better defensive midfielder or the ones we have to improve.
