First tweets getting out about deal accepted. Monday we'll see if Juventuz fans were right to mock our "low level" club or if United is just structurally the most successful club in the world financially speaking and that money was earned on and off the pitch! That's a big difference!!!

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
I don't think there is anything insulting about being his 2nd preference vs a sunny and successful Madrid; we have to endure in the Europa League and our team is very much a work in progress And are having to pay inflated fee's and salary to compensate for that.
I think he's the closest clone Ive seen to a young Roy Keane (when we signed him). They are similar in every physical and technical aspect. We had to break the British transfer when we signed Keane, so its not surprising we have to do the same to sign Pogba.
Pogba will be a brand phenomenon for our marketing department and its likely we'll sell him for a profit in 3-4 years time, which will soften the business case.
I think its a done deal.
A follow up to that:
-What does De Gea think of the English summer?
Throw enough shit at the wall, some of it will stick...
We missed out on Thiago, Hazard, Lucas Moura, and a few others, that have slipped my mind, in recent years because SAF wouldn't pay agent fees.
We either get with the program, or miss out on the elite players, its as simple as that.
it's just the bitterness and dismissive manner in which he goes about it that irks some. He could be a little more subtle.
What is the record for most pages on a transfer saga on the cafe?
Was it the Thiago thread?
Was it the Thiago thread?
That's a pretty optimistic prediction. With the rate this thread's moving at, that'll only take a couple of days.
I'll go 366.
He thinks the office equipment is terrible during the summer months.
Agent have been getting paid for ages. Obviously the bigger the deal the bigger the fee, but you have to question why he would have the financial details of what we would pay him. Only 2 people would know that and ballbag isn't one of them.
He will just say whatever to bump up the price to make it sound as expensive as possible so the club can justify why they aren't going for him and why a world star will not be in the Spanish league.
Vidal. We've got form with Juve midfielders

I think we've a very very good chance of signing him, and there's enough evidence to suggest we're willing to go all out. If Madrid interfere though, I think he's going there.
you are right. we still have yet to hear from Pogba's third cousin. The paps have yet to take photographs of his phone, and we've yet to zoom in on said photographs to discern the contents of his private texts. Then come the airport spottings. the secret medicals. the last minute Daily Fail clickbait that it's all off!!!! Then, it's back on!!! Then off!!!!
This is just the beginning.
This. And how Neymar hidden fee never been mentioned until the authorities started investigate the case. These shit writers just write thing that fit their own agenda and tickle whoever wants to hear their bs.
No it's just awful for our rivals. We don't care.
8K posts. This thread is not even at half time yet.
No I don't either, they should bite our hand off and laugh at us...again, laugh again at us for giving him to them for free, and laugh even harder when we come back four years later and give them £100 m for him, If the boot was on the other foot I'd think we were bonkers, and we probably are.
If Juve turn the offer down I hope we just walk away, and then we can laugh at them.
That's what they were saying before any of the three were confirmed, Raiola to get 25m in signing fees if he lands us the three of them.
@sammsky1 Roy Keane is a good parallel? I don't get to see him much, but I've thought of him more like a Yaya Toure on amphetamines.
Is that a good example for those that don't get to watch many Juve matches?

We should challenge Juventuz to a game of something.
Where did this 25m to his agent came from?
Noodle and car partners.

Gollum Ballbag.
Madrid doesn't have a Wings restaurant does it. Advantage Mancs
Like us making a downpayment for Falcao in 2013? who then went to join Monaco.
He has said a lot of nonsense in the past.
pre season friendly would go down a treat
Ballbag is a twat.
Lets not get carried away

Question for the 25% of fans who voted No on the poll.
Is it just because of the cost or do you not want him period? How low would the fee have to be before you would consider it a good signing?

Not sure we'd put in a world record bid if we weren't sure he wanted to come.

Two phones? Can't be trusted.
Will Juventus be able to match his wage offer? He certainly would at least want a new contract with huge pay raise.
There's nothing to say we didn't put an advanced fee for Falcao. These things are very common.
At this rate we'll need a meltdown thread for Juventuz 
Raiola is getting his insane fee in order to insure that Pogba comes. He'll make it happen for that money.
