Jesus devilish, Fergie made mistakes but this last three years should have made you appreciate him more!

We won't ever see that kind of success again.

Look, Ive got great respect towards the man. He is the single most important person the club had ever had. However what was wrong must be called wrong. There's no beating the bush around that. Actually I don't even blame the man. I blame the system who made him untouchable. That's plain wrong and had been the ruin to so many clubs including Nottingham Forest (Clough), Manchester United (Busby) and Italy national team (Lippi second stint). No one should be bigger then the club and the club's success should be the club's only priority.

I also believe that the last three years were mainly SAF's fault (or actually the mentality that creeped during SAF's reign)
 
I feel like this thread deserves a gif but havent been following transfers much lately. Anyone got an idea?

I've had a quick listen, though I'm not particularly fluent in spanish.

He thinks CR7 will win balon dor this year.

They've got him some presents and would like to see his reaction.

Juve shirt - "how significant is this to you?"
He says Juve are his team, his family and where he plays.
"are you happy?"
"I'm happy that I play football, im happy that i play in the arena in serie a" then he says pequeno which means small, but i don't understand the context. Then reiterates he is happy.

Madrid shirt - I don't fully understand the questions here, but he essentially says the white house, holders of the champions league and that they're a big club.

Utd shirt - I think they say "dont say you don't know" then ask if he prefers utd more or less, to which i think he replies "I don't know".

He says utd are his first family,

Then they ask "if mourinho called you up, "paul, come play for utd", what is your reply"

I don't know when. we see we see.

Back on juve, at the moment im at juve, im happy now. I think he then says at the moment he's where he wants to be.

Very vague all round.

so basically, a moronic reporter thought he could get some kind of scoop by putting pogba on the spot. Pogba handled it like a pro and basically said nothing, and Juve fans think this is "confirmation" that he's staying :lol::lol::wenger:

Well one thing for sure it will drag along.

Hope we have either something conclusive before the end of the month or at least have a backup plan if this goes tits up.

Understandably so. Any conversation to be had on his future is with Juve, and not at some live interview.

So pretty much nothing has changed from yesterday.
 
Take this as you will (granted its from the Metro but...) :

Pogba_united_shirt.jpg


After receiving the Manchester United shirt he described the club as his ‘first family’ and when pressed on whether he’d make a return to the club he replied, ‘I don’t know, we’ll see, we’ll see.’

I dont agree.
The done deal is they wait to see if we commit to offering the fee they say they want, before offering the lad a huge new deal to stay.

Juventus don't need the money and he will still be rich beyond measure if he stays or if he goes.

His agent gets a huge wedge of cash regardless so there's nothing done about it at all.

Yes they do. They have a huge debt. Do you know the club can be bought for around 260M? 100M is massive money to them. Don't see them saying no to that. They are a selling club.

sport witness confirmed it.

I don't think we'll sign him.

However, its not because of that video of his saying Juve his is family and wants to stay is about the most obvious response to a question on his future you can expect. He's not going to come out there and then and say he wants to move. He's under contract with Juve at this time and thats his team. Basic response to a silly question.

he didn't say that.
 
his response from what I got from it means negotiations are far from over and he's covering his grounds in case of whatever happens. I am still confident our team will get it done. But it's probably not as done delio as media has suggested.
 
We need a resident caf member to approach him with a United shirt and see if he signs it...

Apparently, when asked which shirt he would like to play for next year...he took all 3!

Still none the wiser but for sure, there is talks going on behind the scenes!

Very diplomatic. Now that we get the full picture, i really don't like these opportunistic journos/media types trying to put them on the spot. Did he really think he was going to get the scoop of the transfer window by laying three shirts in-front of him?

Anyway, juve fans trolling again, unsurprising that they were BS'ing. We are basically where we were yesterday after Raiola's comments.
 
Simple question is...why didn't he just pick up the Juve shirt if he's staying?

I think it's almost obvious we have an "deal in principle" in place with Raiola. However it's all about Juve.
 
Trigg said:
Well its something to that effect, right?
Click to expand...

No.

Confirmed from the full video:

Pogba is given the Juventus shirt and he says ‘my team, my family’. Having found another video, when Pogba is handed the Manchester United shirt, he says it was his “first family” and then when asked if they telephoned would he return, he’s very noncommittal and goes on to say “I don’t know, we’ll see, we’ll see”.

When asked which of the shirts he wanted for next season, Pogba said “I’ll take all three.”

This is my final post in this mess of a story haha, i refuse to be drawn in any further...arrive or not, I think I'm beyond caring now - time to back the boys with the shirt on already and let these clowns sort their own lives out.

Peace out Pogba, maybe see you soon....

No, he said that football was what he wanted to do since a child and therefore was happy, at the end he says that for the moment he is at Juve but he doesn't know what the future holds.

I swear you've been saying he hasn't been coming from the start, so how are you beyond caring now lol.

Thanks for taking the time :)

As you say, very vague, very diplomatic.

Its clear we are in for him and it's clear that Juve will either sell him for the right price or give him a big fat new contract so it makes sense for him to keep all options open for a strong negotiation hand.
 
He could have just come out and said I'm staying at Juve or Juve themselves could have said Pogba isn't leaving, done delio this. Also the silence in this saga makes me thing its done, if it wasn't, surely Mou would have started pursuing other targets, given he wants to get things over quickly.
 
If Pogba wasn't interested in a move to us then he would have killed the question stone dead with "I respect Utd but I am happy to stay at Juve."

He didn't though. It's like when we all knew Ronny was off with his "Only God knows" rubbish. He knew was off to Real but didn't want to disrespect us.

This is so on. Too many factors point to him moving to us rather than staying at Juventus, put it that way.
 
having seen the real quotes it is obvious he is coming here. We are in with a big chance.

NO, i never said that. @hurstafus said he/she "thinks" that was what was said. Sport Witness after watching the video did not make that same claim.

Its not important anyway, whatever he says in that situation is going to be as diplomatic as possibly can be. Which was my original point I was trying to make.
