Some people need to get over the embarrassment talk. It's becoming the new 'sentimental' and it's fecking annoying. Business is business. Some you win some you lose. What was embarrassing was last seasons performance for the most part....it's not looking to strengthen regardless of who you buy and under what circumstances.

And hope nobody else reads the contracts?
Yeah but at the same time Bale isn't the 2nd most valuable footballer of all time. Madrid fans don't regret signing him though.

Sure, why not.
The buying back thing and only having him for 2 years are valid arguments to the pogba situation....the money we would get for him is irrelevant. Its not our money and ceased being that in 2005. Im not sure whether bringing him back is a good thing or not but i certainly don't give a toss about the money.
If we pay 60m for Pogba, Raiola will get even richer. He's rubbing his hands right now at the though of this transfer happening.
Wholeheartedly agree. In three years time, he's most likely going to be the best central midfielder in the world. If we do manage to resign him, Lord knows the fee a team would have to be paying if he wants to go.
Yep, it's embarrassing.
But seriously, it's not as if SAF let Pogba go & then immediately offered £60m to buy him back; we're under new management now.
We can always find a reason not to sign a world class midfielder and so far this club is doing pretty damn good job in that aspect.
That doesn't make any sense. The club was owned by people pre-2005 and is owned by people now. What's the difference in calling it "our money"?
Of what concern is that to Crewe Alexandra?
If we walk away from £60m for Pogba isn't really looking for an excuse, it's eminently fecking reasonable IMO. It's half our sometimes rumoured 'war chest', on one player who even ignoring everything else is worth a good £20m short of that.
Why are they getting involved?
He plays for the club?
I'm pretty sure we're still the ones shelling out for tickets. It's never been our money but we obviously have a vested interest. FFP would certainly see it as 'ours.'
The 7 year wait for a WCM will turn into a 14 year wait. It is written.
I know, I've seen bail answered with less haste.
Sorry, a WCM?
Because he plays for them..
If we have other great midfielders in plans, I also won't complain if we'll ignore Pogba who at some point appeared almost like a brat few years ago.
Im more referencing the fact that all the glazers have done is take an obscene amount of money out the club. As a plc that didn't happen and we saw continued investment in the team. I could not give a toss what loss we potentially make on selling a player under the current ownership
World Class Midfielder.
Transfer season has gotten to me.
I would rather play Pearson than get Pogba.
Pay the money, feck it.
The guy is EXACTLY what we need.
The guy is EXACTLY what we need.
Why would you believe this guy? He quotes nothing, sources nothing, and is pretty much just 'tweeting' his own thoughts.And that's the end of us in the Champions League or challenging for titles for the foreseeable future, please tell me it ain't so?
Schweinsteiger and Kroos according to the other twitter thread. If that happens I'll spazz out with joy.
Lets face it. We aint getting both of them. But if we get one of these two, then I would be elated beyond words.
You wait till September 1st when all we've signed is a new cheese and spring water sponsor.
Cheese goes well with @Crackers
Ah, didn't know that. Cheers.
It does indeed.
It wouldn't be the transfer season without fake twitter accounts, constant bullshitting and every media undermining Manchester United as if no one wants to play for us and everyone has rejected a move to us at some point in his career. Oh, and every time after a player completes a move to another team, it's exclusively revealed that we've been fighting for his signature but he's opted to join the other club instead, regardless if the club he's joined is Real Madrid or Notts County.
And you would like a big one in your mouth wouldn't you?
too late for that, losing him for nothing made us look embarrassing, i think i read somewhere the blames fully lies with David Gill. We need to spend to become a powerhouse again. Anyways in my books i would rather spend to strengthen than see the money going to the Glazers.
I reckon Strootman is nailed on to come here it's just a matter of when really. Van Gaal loves him and he's playing for a smaller club in a worse league on worse wages. Can't see that one not happening.
If we could get one of the big names floating about to pair with him I'd be delighted with that.
How was it Gill's fault?
Completely agree.
