Stone's article and the quotes are similar to Zlatan before he arrived. Juve have to look to their own fans that they are attempting to keep him, not saying he will or won't come just would not read to much into what Raiola says. No way he isnt considering the huge payment he is set to earn from this.

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.
No he is suggesting that clever scouting and transfers that form a team rather then a load of ego manics worth 50 million each. In the end a team wins a match not individuals.
I know what you mean but there are many gems out there for £30m. Look how much Miki and Bailly were.
Its all good mate!
Sometimes the simplest answer is the true answer. I personally don't believe it has much to do with money. I think Pogba always wanted to make it at United and was extremely disappointed when it didn't work out. He went to Juve to prove himself. He now has the opportunity come back and become a legend with us. I'm sure he got some enjoyment from us paying a world record fee for him. I honestly don't understand the Madrid connection. Has he ever stated that he prefers Madrid? If so, link? The only ones I have ever heard saying he prefers Madrid are the "Spanish insiders" like Ballague. I'm convinced he's coming and he will explain his decision during his first interview.
When the commentator says "Manchester United have been averaging 4 goals per game so fart this season"
Did we even average 4 shots per game last season? I miss those times...
There isn't anyone out there like Pogba, we need a creative genius and I just don't see anyone out there that fits the bill except Pogba.
Massive downer, still hope we get him but the brain says it is over but the hearth doesn't want to listen.
Personally I'am tired of these big transfer summer sagas. It is always the same, United should learn to only go after players they can actually land. They make us fans crazy an entire summer by going after sucha player, releasing rumours in the press and it never concludes with us landing the player and we are always end up disappointed.
I wouldn't have cared that we didn't sign Pogba at the start of the summer, not at all but it is all those rumours that keep persisting, not just from bullshit sources but from respected journalists and newspapers, so you know they are trying to get it done and you get hope, but they fecking fail every single time.
Opposition fans are right, we are looking desperate and it isn't pretty and clubs and agents are taking massive advantage of us for it.
Tell that to Real Madrid..... see what I did there?
True, but Bailly can't be seen as a gem yet imo. I haven't seen him play anyway, maybe you have but he is a prospect and nothing more in my eyes. Miki had one year left on his contract or he would have gone for a lot more but yes he was a steal.
He is 23. He can take a bit of a gamble right now and if the move doesn't come off then he can go to Real Madrid eventually anyways while pocketing a shed load of money he would get here.
Regarding the latest Mino quote.... The new transfer from Juve is irrelevant tbh. He is already there highest earner and they can't offer him too much more without destroying there wage structure, and we already knew that they didn't want to sell. The situation hasn't changed - If Pogba wants to come to us, he will. If he doesn't, he won't.
Why gamble though? Why not attack the CL with Juve next season and see what happens with United under Mou? He is bound to get huge money from his next transfer, few millions more or less don't matter in the big picture.
It's a lot, but it's not like he's on poor man's wages either. I'm pretty sure his commercial deals net him a lot of money, too. If you are already in a bracket where you make more money than you'll ever be able to spend, then there might be other factors involved in your decision making as well.
If he's really keen on joining a club that is not Utd, he is certainly not in the worst position to wait and see at Juve.
Should just have bought Sanches and let another club deal with this clusterfeck.
I've changed my mind. I'd rather we spent the money elsewhere. Not sure who though.
£100m + is just too much. That is money for elite players like Bale and Neymar.

Even if we miss out, not a big deal. The positive is everyone in the world knows we are able to sign big players for £100m+. Might not bear fruit this summer, but as muppets we can rejoice that we definitely have it in us to sign a truly global superstar.
I think we can get top 4 without a big big star this year.

Hope we finally put in the bid today then see what happens next.
We pay this much and we'll be held to ransom with every signing we make. It used to be just Spurs that did this to us.
Clearly you missed Vidal-gateUtter drivel...
For £100M I expect him to win the game by himself and instigate article 50 to take us out of the EU without any financial repercussions

Who needs Pogba when you've got Cleverley or erm Fellaini.
If Juve reject our offer then they're complete idiots as nobody will offer that much but Fair play to them.
£100 million is a huge amount of cash and can easily be used elsewhere.

I'm not worried about rejected bids until it's reported by someone reputable, such as Di Marzio. I seem to recall that Gazzetta dello sport website reporting a whole host of rubbish regarding Vidal to United.
Can people stop using the 'he will sell shirts' argument to justify the exorbitant fee, Adidas will pocket that money not the club.
If we don't sign Pogba, who will be Jose's second and third choices? Hopefully Kante is one. How much would he cost us?
Nothing to get worried about just yet I reckon. It's a huge transfer, Juve aren't too keen on selling and transfers this big will always take long to go through. Some of you need to chill out
Why would Kante be an alternative to Pogba? They're totally different players, totally and utterly different. When De Gea leaves I hope we sign a good replacement like John Stones.
It's still relevant. The more shirts we shift the more money we'll get when we negotiate a new sponsorship deal with them.
100m is the price of vanity. He is a special player, a superstar, and our fans have been crying out for a world class signing ever since Ronaldo left. Obviously there are alternatives if this doesn't go through but we are United and we should always try and go for the best players.
I have not been able to follow the saga today apart from reading those quotes by Raiola. Any other developments or any outlets reporting anything new on this?
Do us muppets have a reason to fear now?

The shirt sales will take care of themselves whether Pogba comes or not, people will buy the Zlatan shirt or whoever else comes in.
I think we'll have to sign two, a defensive and creative central midfielder. Pogba is such a unique player because he has so many qualities like strength, height, passing and vision. A lot of players will have one or two of those qualities but not all four combined.

Not really.
Is he world class though? I have no problem paying anyone any amount of money for a worldie in our side but as romantic as bringing Pogba back would be, he is not all that from what I saw.
Pogba is as elite as Bale, and Neymar would cost twice as much.
I always thought him staying would be the most likely outcome. I'd be gutted if we didn't manage to get him.
Doesn't sound like it. Those Raiola quotes aside, nothing new appears to have happened. He made similar quotes a few weeks ago about Zlatan.I have not been able to follow the saga today apart from reading those quotes by Raiola. Any other developments or any outlets reporting anything new on this?

Don't agree, Bale is more established then Pogba in my opinion. He'd also cost about £130m in today's market.
Dont think we'll get him. Raiola was doing what all agents do -> getting the best for his client. He'll sign a new bumper deal with Juve and that'll be it
When did you watch him?
I'd love to think no one on here is daft enough to judge him based on the Euros, but I think I'm overestimating people.
He doesn't have any price at the moment, cause Real doesn't sell (unless they want to get rid of that player). However, I don't think that he is much (if any) more established than Pogba.
