You lot are in for a big surprise if you think Pogba is taking his failures with him from us.
What do you mean by that?

it was £89 million from our part and Juve had to pay Raiola around £20-£25 million because he got them Pogba almost for free in the first place and they had an agreement about it.Just asking, as there seemed to be some different take on this on the Transfer Window pod. Did we pay 89m to Juve and Juve then pay Raiola 40m or did we pay 89m + tens of millions to Raiola? How much did we pay all in all for him?

The thing was Juventus tried to put that extra cost on us but it wasn't happening in any way.

I was talking about how Juventus had to give part of the transfer money to Raiola, but of course we must have paid him a large agent fee and the numbers you quote might be correct.But it was reported that Raiola pocketed 42m from the deal. Did we definitely not pay anything to Raiola?
Juventus announced that they won 72m € net from the deal

I remember there was a report from Football Leaks on the whole transfer with some interesting revelations. Could be interesting to check out what it was actually about as I can't recall it at the moment.

We paid 89 million. Just paid part of that to Raiola. We paid around 16 million for brokering the deal.
This was the Football Leaks report I was thinking about. Has some very particular details in it about Pogba and Raiola, especially the amount of money they have generated as a whole.Here it says he had a deal for 50% of anything above 40m from a Juve sale, whilst United paid 16m in five instalments to Raiola. Totalling 105m. Not sure if that's correct though.
OK, so it was 105m in essence, that he cost us. What did we pay Raiola for Lukaku and Zlatan, any idea?

No idea but no one adds agent fee as part of transfer fee. It's common for every transfer. Liverpool paid by far the highest in last 2 seasons as agent fee.
Well said.We've lost bigger and better players than Pogba. Nobody is bigger than the club. He has shown a total lack of respect with his words.
1) we wont magically improve with him gone. Our main problems lie elsewhere
2) hes not going to continue to struggle for consistency in a big team
It's not that it doesn't matter, I already know, it's nothing new.
I've got nothing against him wanting out too. Everyone who's got any ambition wants out under the Glazers. Herrera was soon off to PSG. DDG, Lukaku, they all want to leave.
Pogba is our best player, I like exciting players so of course i'm a big fan of him. He was the only part enjoyable about Utd's matches last season.
The media want to create a huge controversy, it will sell papers for the next week or so. So i'm not quick to judge him based on what edited videos they release.
He was consistent at Juventus wasn't he?Not necessarily. I don't think thats guaranteed with Paul from what ive seen...
After an expected initial very good 6 months or so at Real, watch when they hit a bad patch and fans look to him to create something. They will lose patience with his strolling about 10x quicker than Old Trafford ever did.
See how consistent he plays then when he's being whistled rather than cheered. After all he does appear to be a little temperamental.
Some of that may have been helped by Vidal doing the dirty work for him and chipping in with a few goals and assists. so by him not being the sole source of creativity, it may have put less pressure on him and allowed to concentrate on his game.He was consistent at Juventus wasn't he?

He's struggled for that consistency with France and Juve, though we'll cut him some slack since he was a kid for most of his time. He then joined us, where it was expected that consistency would finally come. It didn't.1) we wont magically improve with him gone. Our main problems lie elsewhere

The 2 can't be compared. He had Vidal/Marchisio/Pirlo running the midfield behind him.He was consistent at Juventus wasn't he?
You're paid 300k GBP per week and you cannot be the best player to lift a team and bring confidence to his team mates? Yeah, get lost, this is getting ridiculous. Pogba can do it, he just needs to do it consistently, always, so that he can get those titles, you know. He needs to do his parts first and then we see how it fares.
When Cantona arrived, you cannot say he had better teams, the team didn't win anything for a while. But he didn't say, my team mates are shit, I am leaving. He tried to make it work, and showed his class by doing so.
If I am as good as Pogba think he is, than I am at a game changer level. And for that level, yes, I take the workspace and I change it. Success changes a lot of things, your vision is a weird one as if everything is static. No, success brings success and changes the teams profoundly. Pogba was bought to bring that success or at least contribute massively into it, instead, he did not.
Not sure why the sarcasm for Maradona, he may not be the best example of human being, but as a player, the way he tried inspire confidence to his team mates to win games was absolutely spot on and he deserves absolute respect for that. Pogba should simply do the same, inspire confidence.
This isn't true. In the first two years with Conte he was the one who had to work his ass off and do a lot of the "dirty" work so that Pirlo and Vidal and Marchisio wouldn't have to. With Allegri he had more freedom, but still he was a box-to-box player asked to contribute defensively almost as much as in attack.The 2 can't be compared. He had Vidal/Marchisio/Pirlo running the midfield behind him.
He was allowed to attack with freedom and had Sandro overlapping him every time he got the ball, he played in a functional team with world class players everywhere.
He never needed to grab the game by the neck and win it by himself like he's had to at United.
He's struggled for that consistency with France and Juve, though we'll cut him some slack since he was a kid for most of his time. He then joined us, where it was expected that consistency would finally come. It didn't.
He's now going to go Madrid and play under Zidane. A manager who by his very nature is not consistent. Who plays a variety of different formations and tactical set-ups. He's almost 27 now - he's now either at, or rapidly approaching his footballing peak and he still plays like a promising teenager. Unfortunately, I don't think we'll ever see a consistent Paul Pogba.
1) we wont magically improve with him gone. Our main problems lie elsewhere

Won’t last a season without Madrid fans calling for his head. Couple of games v Barca where he’s invisible will do it, after he makes the best YouTube compilation ever against lower half rubbish
He was consistent at Juventus wasn't he?
Wait I thought posting on social media was bad and he should be concentrated on his football?
