It's not worth insulting him over and potentially being banned. We just have to accept not everyone is going to be considerate of peoples feelings and move on.
I am personally effected by the disease with my father who suffers deeply with this illness, and dont think that those kind of comments should be socially acceptable or allowed on a respectable website. There was no insult.
Not inconsiderate, just not going enter the condescending PC culture dystopia you are feeding, where everyone is offended by everything and people are too uptight to laugh at themselves. This isn't even the thread for it.
If we are going to sign Pogba we will win the league.
Yes I've read all the arguments, I just don't rate him that highly. Mata was overpriced, but from what I've seen Pogba is not as good as De Bruyne at all.
I completely understand and sympathise, but I don't think calling someone a "fool" on here will go down well with the no insult rule. Maybe I'm wrong but I just don't want to see you banned, is all.
Overrated or one of the top 3 best midfielders on the planet?
Dont be an asshole.
The bromance is strong, man.
Whats the latest from Di marzio
Still not believing this the only thing is we have Jose so that gives us a bit hope but feels like the Hazzard, Bale all over again
Haha, I'm not even that familiar with the poster! I just don't want to see him potentially being banned for this.
That quote form Ballbag in the title is quite annoying
Because we ended up getting both Müller and Bale, right? Eventhough it's widely known we put what would've been world record bids on both. Judging by the reports I think it's pretty clear we are after Pogba, but also I think it's very unlikely we get him. Unless he himself hands a transfer request to Juventus forcing their hand, which I really don't see happening. I still think it's by far the most likely option that on Septempber 1st he is still a Juventus player. We will get Matuidi instead.

Overrated definitely style over substance but he can become one of the best under Jose who will iron out the inefficiencies in his game.
Overrated or one of the top 3 best midfielders on the planet?
He's definitely overrated. He isn't even in the top 10 midfielders in the world. But I still want him 100 million is a lot but its not my money, and he has the potential to become a complete all rounder. If Mourinho wants him, I want him
Probably wise. There will be countless left broken if this all goes south.
The big difference for me is Toure and Pogba are luxury players whereas Keane was the lynchpin, primarily because the other two don't like running while Keane was obviously relentless. Pogba's an impact player, not someone who runs the midfield. More Gerrard than Keane.
What do you know about Matuidi that makes him more available than Pogba?
Who is Ben Fairthorne. He's saying Raiola has told Woodward that Pog has confirmed we are his first choice.
He's a WUM who makes Indy seem like Walter Kronkite.
he is another bullshit itk off twitter
Overrated or one of the top 3 best midfielders on the planet?
He's 23. We know we are buying potential.
If you take the fact that covers the top 5 leagues in Europe, those stats are pretty damn impressive. The only diodgy stat is pass accuracy, but again that comes down to the type of player he is, he's very forward thinking, he's NOT a sideways Joe.
Overrated or one of the top 3 best midfielders on the planet?
I get the feeling the people looking at this and saying 'he's overrated' are thinking these stats are only for the Italian legue.
I really don't want to believe he's coming because I know I will be disappointed at the end of the day but.
Not this time. He is coming.I really don't want to believe he's coming because I know I will be disappointed at the end of the day but.
Don't do this to yourself! This is like Sneijder all over again! Only thing's missing is Pogba saying only god knows.
Sorry to be greedy but if we do get signing number 4,have you heard if is there are any plans for anymore ??
I still think we are a bit short at center half.
Well according to recent media reports, he wants a move to premier league to finish his career and I think he is Joses kind of player. Of course it could be BS like most media reports are these days. That is still 10 times more likely to happen then Pogba for multiple reasons. Not the least of which are the astronomical fees involved in the Pogba transfer. United is very rich, but we don't have unlimited funds and Juventus really have no need to sell.
We have been through this so much in recent years, BUT i feel it could be different this time. We do have a genuine chance with this one.
The only ITK that matters.
Is GoldTrafford still knocking around?
The prices being thrown around is what it will take to convince Juve to sell, and to acquire the player for his best years. We could potentially hold the best forward and the best midfielder in our hands in the next few years.
Im telling you this is different. Sneijder was during Gill's time. He aint a muppet like our king Woody.
If he is so overrated why isn't Juventus biting our hands off for that 100m?
He is seriously overrated, but still the only midfield talent I would take over him today is Veratti, who is impossible to sign.
Would much rather have Kroos for £60m and Kante for his release clause though (the two of them, not just one), that would take us to about £80-85m or so. Still some money left as compared to the Poggers deal.

Essentially, Woody declared during the Moyes summer (I think) in an interview that he wanted to stop the best players in the world going to Spain, in order to cement us at the very top.
Well, here we are. This is it. If he ever wants to keep those promises, this transfer needs to happen.
