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.
looking at their history, no.
They aren't reliable.
I'm right with you there.
If his heart is set on Madrid then he should probably stay at Juve and improve or wind the contract down a year, change agent to bring the cost down in order to move to Madrid and be a bit more forceful.
I'd love him to come back but I don't want us to drag him back. If things don't go well he could start blaming the club, stifling his development, wanting out if we don't look like champions league winning material and we end up selling him for 60 million. He's got to want to come here and work very hard. He can't be a passenger and expect the United machine to get back on track.
In one hand I think Pogba is all for coming back and understands but if one is having trouble deciding then it's probably not the correct decision.
I don't want the club to spend 100million on a guy who's shrugging his shoulders and we're always wondering, is he happy, are we doing enough to please Pogba.
Did you expect this to be done by Monday lunchtime?
What was MUTV's stance on Pogba tonight? Hint on anything?
I'm certainly not reading into anything that pizza man says, but he did say that Mkhitaryan wants to leave ASAP. So with that precedent he clearly could have been less diplomatic in this pogba saga.
"...agent Mino Raiola potentially emerging £30m richer from his cut of a deal returning the French player to Old Trafford from Juventus, four years after he left."
Raiola seems to be making £5m a day. Good work if you can get it...This happens every time we are linked with a player. £5m are added to the fee each week."...agent Mino Raiola potentially emerging £30m richer from his cut of a deal returning the French player to Old Trafford from Juventus, four years after he left."
Well they were kind of defending his performances in euros.
"Also said watch this space on pogba" while closing the show.
If the supposed agent fees are accurate its a pisstake of a transfer (if it wasn't one already). He's not that fecking good and there are other midfielders out there that we can make work in a title winning squad.
Nah, I'm really not. You've obviously got a life so haven't seen this argument being played out a few times in this thread. Fwiw I agree with you, he's not worth anything like the figures quoted. Then again, it's not my money. Or something.
Can we keep a few hundred grand of it to get him the best personal yoga instructor ever, so his knees don't fall apart this time?
Holy shat for real? That must be some kind of statement for a reason. Thanks for that.
Please refrain from replying to me. I don't have time for salty people like you. Micky gives our regards.
No, but you asked what's changed in regard to his potential move to United. Yesterday it seemed extremely likely it'd happen - whether that's by Monday or in 4 weeks. Today his own agent has come out and said he could stay given the right contract. That's clearly a slight knock-back.
Raiola also said Ibra has offers from a lot of clubs and he might not go to Manchester United when it was looking certain.
He's a WUM honestly. It changes nothing.
Juventus have to fight for Pogba. They can't let him go willingly if they decide to sell.
No it isn't. You just perceive it as one. I don't know if we'll get him, but I know if you are a club and you get given money..you don't announce you've got money. That devalues the money you get because other clubs start asking more. His agent is part of the 'game'. Nothings changed, people just think things have changed because they forget Juventus or any club has to look after their own interests..
I'm convinced its not.
We've done a lot of work with Raiola this summer and I imagine this is some sort of combined fee for signing three of his players or perhaps he part owns Pogba. But 30% agent fees is likely bollocks.
I'm willing to believe Woody has a suit, including underwear, completely made of money.
Do you not?
I do, but the pennies chafe my junk.
Ouch!!Please refrain from replying to me. I don't have time for salty people like you. Micky gives our regards.
Agree. I'm not sure either. I think rather than the barometer be looking through the window of the euro's, they should look beyond that. After all, just based on the Euros you'd wonder what this lad Kane was about, and Martial couldn't get on the pitch in front of a bloke who plays in the Mexico league......yet we know cause we see them weekly that they are superb young players.
Under Jose's management skills we may get that with him.
That's what he said in the press conference.
If its a final installment for signing three of his players then I don't think we can complain, nor can we complain if he part owns Pogba.
I don't remember a mention of agent fee when signing Ibra and Mak so I'm hoping its a combined agent fee or I'm going to be pissed too.
They aren't but that's not the point. They can use it to improve other positions in the team.
Yeah but we'd be better off signing Les Ferdinand because he scored more goals than Keane, therefore obviously more worth the money or something.
Its funny how the forum has been losing losing its collective titts for the past four years about how we let him go. Now that we are trying re-sign him, half the posters no longer want him. I don't mean for the financial reasons, based purely on ability. He was called the french tom cleverley earlier today.
Not really because it doesn't how much money she offers, you don't really want her back and she seems too desperate.
But what if Rooney's waiting in bed back home?

For a lot of United fans (and opposition fans) on here the Euros will be one of the only times they've watched him over a full 90 minutes.
It's pretty obvious when you hear some of the garbage they come out with - sideways/backwards passer; doesn't do enough in matches; looks disinterested; doesn't have fight.
Anyone who's even half paid attention to his career knows that stuff is a steaming load of shite. But it's very easy to roll out after watching a couple of games for France and suddenly being a Pogba expert.
Yeah. Conversely I remember a World Cup when Nicky Butt looked an absolutely top drawer world class central midfielder. Can't remember which year that was.
2002
Cheers. England's best player that year, unless I was looking through red-tinted glasses.
Good lord, let's hope that was a pisstake.
To be honest, i can't tell anymore
