Do you want Pogba for £100 million?

Surely he wouldn't be having such a meltdown if he wasn't pretty sure this will happen?!
 
Balague is trolling the United fans. He sounds as if he has been briefed by Madrid to tell the world that Pogba wants to go there but he is overpriced.

Like United fans care...
 
Just saw a tweet saying Juve are interested in Depay. I would have liked to see him stay but if it makes getting Pogba easier, we'd be stupid not to include him in some sort of deal to bring the price (slightly) down.

I doubt an agent can force a player to leave a club if he doesn't want to.

I don't think the force required is to convince pogba but juve (if any is required). Clubs know that Mendes owing you a favour is huge.

The Juventuz banter was pretty fun when it was all jibes and made-up quotes/tweets to troll us. Not so fun now they seem genuinely angry. It's all gone a bit Bluemoon with the whole "fagcafe".

Lighten up. It's just a game, lads.

Yeah they were a laugh but some on there are juvenile and dare I say, xenophobic over the last day or so.

Probably best not to give them anymore attention.

Different situations. In your salesman example, the salesman is trying to sell you the product. If something is on sale, the price can be bargained down. But Juve aren't exactly looking for teams who will buy Pogba are they?

Maybe that's a bad example, but I was referring to the previous comment that said Juve wanted €100 million for Pogba, but we bid €120 million. So, if someone has an asset, that they aren't looking to sell, but price the asset at €100 million, why would a buyer come in and bid €120 million? It just doesn't make sense. But I'll say it again, that probably isn't what's happening in the Pogba case, but that's what the comment I initially responded to said.
 
Ballbag has always been a cnut with Utd.

I used to listen to The Times football podcast years ago and even back then, when we were the best fecking team in the World, he'd be bitchy about us. He was a huge friend of Benitez so maybe that explains where his dislike of Utd started. That podcast was the dirt worst by the way, nobody should ever listen to it. If it even exists anymore.
 
feck me ball bag is having a right little cry for himself :lol: .

For a man employed to speak on TV, he's making himself look like a right cnut.
 
Balague has actually managed to become a parody of himself, amazing :lol:
 
I hope we sign him even if it's just to piss people off and show our financial muscle.
 
Its funny, we'll never ever get a positive United story from Ballague after the shite he's getting for this!

Not that we did, anyway. :lol:
 
I remember when Balague was credited as being super reliable. Which transfer was that, again? During the last two summers I remember most people trusting what he had to say. Now he's being a total dick, however.

Angel Di Maria and Falcao saga i guess.
 
Ballague has always been a bit of an iffy reporter but he seems to have snapped over this, strange behavior

Under different management.

Apple once forced Steve Jobs out. In 1997, they effectively rehired him for 400m+ when they acquired NeXT. And the rest is history....

With your permission, I want to use that line as defense against my non United supporting friends for justifying the deal if we pull this off.. Great example..
 
I love the term "financial muscle". I just imagine a Goliath sized bag of money with our badge on it flexing its arms.

It's really poor evidence of Zidane being more famous than Giggs. I can use the same argument, my mum definitely knows of Giggs and won't have a clue who Zidane is.

I have no idea who is more well known to be honest but cannot state a fact with either way. In my opinion if you go to China or India, I think Giggs would win it. Probably America too. But that's just my opinion of people I know in these areas.

Now Balague is a slightly different story. Over the years he's got his fair share right with Di Maria & De Gea going to United and his record with Mendes clients is quite strong.

However with non-Mendes clients his record is ropey. Herrera first time around, LVG staying, Torres to United etc. He undeniably has strong relationships with Mendes and Spanish clubs and knows the workings of the boards and their decision-making processes but with the likes of Pogba... It's educated guesswork, based on that board level knowledge of how Real Madrid operate.

Ballbag is to Benitez what Duncan Castles is to Mourinho.

Basically just a no mark Liverpool sympathiser and suck up to Barca and Real.
 
Blimey, Balague's turned into Glaston.
