Paddy? I'd believe my next door neighbor before I believe him. He doesnt know shit. He seems convinced the day before LVG was sacked that he was going to be here next season.
He's much smarter than you think. He probably comes on the caf just to laugh at all the people who underestimate him.
 
Raiola is renowned for playing games so you have to take everything he says with a pinch of salt. He hasn't aimlessly thrown these comments out there, he has done it suit his own agenda and if he thought Pogba was going to stay he would be saying the opposite to increase the panic at Juve to pay more wages, signing fee etc.

I think it is probably more likely that that it is posturing as Juventus saying that they want Pogba to hand in a transfer request which would mean he would lose money, hence why their position has always been he isn't for sale.

I think whatever is happening with Pogba it is probably already been decided now it's just the gamesmanship between the 3 parties.

Nah he's a fool who doesn't understand the realities of the business anymore.

I take it you think his LVG related meltdown on BBC was an act of calculate genius?
 
Maybe we were being used to force Madrid into bidding for him. Now that Madrid have pulled out, Raiola sees no point in continuing the charade and Pogba stays another season at Juventus till one of the Spanish two make a move?

If Raiola and Pogba were desperate for Madrid, Madrid would have been told and Raiola would be kicking up a fuss and Pogba would have handed in his transfer request. Instead Raiola is on the verge of being the agent of a transfer fee record, getting Pogba a salary that is only surpassed by Messi and Ronaldo and a nice 20m fee for himself.
 
No, he would be the attacking box-to-box like Fellaini/Ander Herrera.

Wait... in a 4-2-3
Oh man...this place is epic gold sometimes...some couldnt wait Euro to be finished,thinking that it would bring Pogba faster,even wishing France to lose sooner because of that.Day after Euro final and everything went totally in opposite direction of theirs expectations :lol:

I'm not ashamed that this fits my thought pattern.

Still...because of the Renaldo injury I'm glad Portugal won.

Hey...what do we think Pogba's salary with Juventus will be next season?

Of course! His defiant attitude that day showed me that it was more about the attack on the journalist than it was about facts. And when he leaked the 4th signing he was careful not to actually name the player, he said it was someone who was here before , that was definitely calculated and simple enough for all united fans to understand.
 
It would be bad management on Riola's part if he said a deal was agreed with Juve or United. This latest statement gives him better bargaining options with both United and Juve.
 
Maybe he was trying to cushion the blow yesterday by having an off day. A lot of posters decided they didn't really want him on the back of that sole game (and twitter commenters).
 
Well, maybe you are right :) Raiola gave me a scare there. That said, we have nothing to fear. Its done.

I know better than to trust internet ITKs, but having said that, I am putting all my eggs in the Acquire Me shaped basket on this. Don't let us down my Nordic friend.
 
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.

Why are not United using it "easily" elsewhere then?

Because there's still a chance it could through, it isn't dead yet. If Juve are adamant on giving pogba a new deal or refuse our £100 million offer then we can take that money elsewhere and use it on other targets, I'm sure Mourinho has other plans if Pogba deal fails.

To be fair, you could spend £100m on another area of your squad and still have a great midfield.

We need to spend that £100m on midfield and there isn't any better targets.
 
I have heard the same today, a mate who is somehow a bit ITK messaged me saying its been agreed today
Can you divulge any more information? How your mate is ITK? And agreed means Juve have agreed the deal? Pogba has agreed?

Well according to some spending 50m on Matuidi and Kante would be better. Problem I have with that thinking is that we could get Pogba and still go after Kante if we really wanted to.

Fair point.
Players like Kroos, Verratti are simply ungettable at this point.
