Is signing players with very long surnames the club's way of compensating the loss income from CL football?
Yes, it's 50 quid a letter now.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.

Dont even joke. My dad never let me get certsin players names because of the cost per letter!
I did manage to talk him into Ronaldinho! But that was a waste of time
While not official photographer he's certainly more than just a guy lurking around stadium. He usually confirms a signing just before it is official. My guess is that he is a contracted photographer who takes snaps at transfer presentations etc
Seriously can't believe we charge that much for our shirts, no wonder why we can afford to offer such sums for Pogba.
65 million is a bargain, he'll cost way more than that.
Not a chance we get Pogba for £65m in this market.
£65m would be a lot more acceptable. I just hope we have others in mind if it doesn't come off.
£65m is lose change for Sir Edward of Woodward. I guess it would be £65m + add-ons though. Maybe a fair chunk on sell-on price too.
Only £65m...?
£65m? Bwahahah, peanuts. Give the poor Italian cnuts another £10m just for shit and giggles.
This.
That sounds a lot more reasonable.
If its £65m then hes going to Real end of
Would pay this very happily. Who knows, maybe it is possible. He's only worth what they buyer is willing to pay and if Real are a little strapped then maybe 65m isn't so far off the mark.
Anyone know how many years he has left on his contract?
No, it's seasonal.
Jheeze!!! Why are we acting like £65m is not the English transfer record! I'd assume that would be straight cash!!
65 In GBPs just as our currency drops to such a low... So a version euro price... I'm calling shenanigans
65m plus Mata and Darmain is c.100m
65m plus Mata and Darmain is c.100m
Guardian hardly reliable though, £65m is too low for Pogba, especially when Madrid are after him
I hate tweets like this with a big claim but no link. don't trust them.
Can't find that story in the Guardian. Anyone here find it?
Apparently was in this article: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/jun/30/zlatan-ibrahimovic-announces-join-manchester-united
But has since been removed from it
Agree. Utdreport twist words and pick out part of sentences for clickbait.
Guardian did actually have an article saying this. But it was taken down shortly after being put up.
Meanwhile Odgen says world record fee: http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/f...-a7111611.html
£85m sounds more realistic. It's interesting that Ogden says Madrid and Barcelona won't enter an auction with us.
Why?
They really don't have to - they essentially make the player choose, and very, very few opt to go anywhere else once one or other of these two come calling.
Pogba will be taking less money if he opts to go there and less of his image rights, too, for example.
Can't remember the last time either club competed for a player.
Ah, cheers. utdreport are just awful
There's no way Pogba will cost just 65 million pounds. If that were true, 4-5 clubs would be in for him. He'll likely cost a world record fee, which is why even Real Madrid are reluctant.
65m is marginally reasonable , 85m is too steep but its still not clear why Pogba is available or would want to leave Juve
85m isn't too steep at all. It'll be a bargain in a few years, even 100m would be.
