It's not preposterous even if he meant 35. He's on 25 this season with Mourinho being in charge until December. Ten more in a functioning team during that period plus the remainder of the season is definitely within the realms of possibility.Hang on a second. You are saying that Pogba can consistently get 35 goals and assists? Or 20 goals and assists?
The story that we are in need of money they are running with is just lazy journalism. A quick glance at our latest earnings report shows that we have a cash balance of £190 million + an undrawn borrowing facility of £125 million. With over £300 million available I don't think we are that desperate to sell one of our best and most marketable players.
I hope Ole owns Zidane in a response, why mention Manchester United and our player? If a reporter is asking you questions say no comment? Highly disrespectful.
Agree.I believe Pogba is very much open to the idea of playing for Madrid.When our own player can't keep his mouth shut and talk about Madrid, no use in complaining about other team manages .

And only 1 goal off the top scorer. Lukaku has 12. Paul 11If we lose Pogba we are in trouble as he's basically doing two jobs right now, he's our #10 and the only creative passer we have in the team.

We seem to be the only top club who lose their best players to Madrid. Hate them.

He was supposed to already be an United fan from a few years back when we were linked.
I think the translation is get funds,collect.
The translation of balancing the finances is used if you working in a shop and at the end of your shift you have to "close the till/balance the till" and its written with an article "hacer la caja"
The key paragraph for me was at the end of the article. This is a reasonable translation I believe:
The English club are not experiencing their best moment economically. The close to 500 million euros spent by Mourinho while on the Old Trafford bench, has left the club in a delicate situation. Lacking agreements with Ander Herrera, Juan Mata, and David De Gea over their contract renewals, means that the club, which is carrying 300 million euros of debt, doesn’t currently have any money available.
We can also probably agree, that Marca is talking bollocks.
yes, they mean that you need cash, although logically they have not named the right player.The key paragraph for me was at the end of the article. This is a reasonable translation I believe:

No he isn’t. No idea how you come to that conclusion. Pass by Shaw today certainly points to there’s more than 1 player in the squad who can creatively pass.
Come on, even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in while, that was one pass Shaw has made like that all season, even Jordan Henderson has the odd pass in his locker, I'm talking about a creative passer who plays 3 or 4 at least a game, iventive, imaginative passes, Pogba is the only player we have like that.
He didn't compare Shaw to Henderson..Comparing Shaw to CM like Henderson who kept hitting balls over top and pretends he's Pirlo. Yeah, nice one.
He didn't compare Shaw to Henderson..
I think you've missed the point of what @Devil may care was saying..There's not many fullbacks who can pass like this, getting a lot of assists and create more chances for them. Most of the time, CM does that job even if they're not good passers. Shaw is really good passers and technical that he can make a pass like this but he didn't do it enough as he chooses not to and leaves it to the midfielder where they try to make a pass like this many time, even Henderson tried but has a low success rate of doing this.
Oh, we need Shaw to be the Xavi, Kroos, Scholes, Pirlo, etc and make a pass regularly that splitting opponent's defense with erase, come on. Comparing fullback to CM is crazy you know.
I think you've missed the point of what @Devil may care was saying..
No, I haven't missed point, the replies he made to other he believes that Luke Shaw is capable of making pass like this, as I stated he's really good passers but he's not in the same level as other creative players because he's a fullback, that's it, Luke Shaw is not playmaker, he didn't make many passes but he is not exactly trying to make more pass like this when he knew it could fail. . @Devil may care compared Luke Shaw to Henderson who's CM and hitting balls over top hoping it could do something and think he's Pirlo.
If you don't think Pogba is the only truly creative player in the team who else is?

Wouldn't be against selling Lukaku too and cleansing the club off that cnut Raiola. 175 - 200 mill for Pogba and 50-60 mill for Lukaku.
Add that to our 200 mill budget and bring in some young hungry players
Yeah that will be a big change but anyway it looks like we are about to loose 2/3 of our midfield and the remaining third ain't good enough anymore.
Bring in Werner, Sancho, Koulibaly, Meunier and a whole new midfield. That's a lot of new players but most of the changes are forced
I say we hold on to him for one more season , sign Eriksen on free next summer and use whatever fee we get for Pogba to sort out the team. If we can do that, I think we will be better off than with Pogba.Marca are hilarious I think, Pogba won't be going anywhere this summer unless something ridiculous is offered. Chatting £250m and he pushes, he'll go next summer I think though. He was always passing through in my opinion.
The problem is that next summer his value will drop so unless he extends his contract the board and manager might just think he is worth getting a good fee for to strengthen the team in a number of areas. It is keeping Paul focused on United and doing his best if he does stay. If we can guarantee that, then fine keep him. If not, the last thing we need is a sulky Paul Pogba.Marca are hilarious I think, Pogba won't be going anywhere this summer unless something ridiculous is offered.

Didn't know thatRom severed his ties with Mino a while back.
Not really if you ask me, he'll still have two years left on his contract. Don't think there will be much of a drop in value. 25 mill or something maybe and he's way for important to us than 25 mill.The problem is that next summer his value will drop so unless he extends his contract the board and manager might just think he is worth getting a good fee for to strengthen the team in a number of areas.

Anything less than 150m shouldn't even be entertained. If it is then we know we are being run by idiots. Because it wouldn't just be losing Paul as a player, but losing Paul as a commercial draw.Not really if you ask me, he'll still have two years left on his contract.

Just read that Levy is quoting 150 mill for Eriksen with one year left on his contract, Hazard won't go for anything less than 100 mill, so Pogba should still fetch us 150 mill, at least
Didn't know that
Still wouldn't be against replacing Lukaku with Werner, no team in the world can have a 90 million striker on the bench and IMO Lukaku isn't good enough for a top team and he will never be.
Wouldn't mind that Jovic dude either but Werner being a United fan and considering his contract situation would be a great buy
