Im surprised this thread hasnt blown up yet. This is big news
What an avalanche of messages
It's not that he is not a good player. I think with Herrera, Schneiderlin, Bastian, Carrick, Blind , who can play there and perform quite well. You do not need to break the bank for a player of Pogba's quality. Plus he is not really world class yet in my opinion. You are buying potential for 100 + million.
Herrera will be a star player this season for United. Him and Schneiderlin should be the first choice midfielders.
United want too. We may do other business too if we sell some players. We've got great options, especially with the youth coming through. Should we sign him, this move could make him. That's all it takes. We have pereira. Adnan. TFM and various other young talents coming through. These could be viable options this season or next.

I'm sorry but Pogbas potentially better then all of them...combined..I'm kidding
But I think some people are underestimating him. All the players can play there but they are not better. Pogba is very skillful and will generate a lot of excitement. We're not talking about potential to be a good midfielder. If he fulfills his potential, he'll be the best midfielder of his generation. And Dechamps is a muppet for playing him as a DM.Can someone actually break down what Pogba's specialty is?
Aside from the odd decent strike with Juventus and the odd flash of quick feet, every time I've watched him over the last couple of years he's drifted in and out of games.
Also, he slips more than any player I've ever seen.

A lot of people on here don't like this De Brun fella. If anything, this thread will become a bigger warzone soon.
Even de Brun ? Something may happen after all...
People are saying de Brun is realiable? Is it safe to whip it out again? Who am I kidding, it was never in.
De burn does have good contacts at the club. He interviews players and all. His only problem is his ability to get upset and go on a rant.
Well, it's better than debating whether or not we are excited.
Yeah, his sentiments about the running of the club aside, he's normally fairly clued up. His absolute confidence in the matter probably adds stock to his assertion, I'd say.
He says stuff people don't like to hear, but he's pretty reliable on this sort of thing.
So basically... time to get cocks out?
I can now see why Ibra was with Pogba, probably something to do with getting to know eachother before coming to his new club.
I mean it could just be putting two and two together after Juventus going big on Higuain.
I am not anti pogba but understand the sentiment. A lot of us don't have time to watch Juventus all the time. We have only seen pogba in the Euros and stuff. For the people that are against him, they also think for this fee we should be getting someone like a Suarez or a Neymar.
I am all for Pogba because I've seen his youtube highlights
He's not the first to keep parroting about how the deal is already done. Juve seem to be making moves in the transfer market. Kante has all but signed for Chelsea and we are completely quiet so far. Hard not to get a wee bit excited.
He is quoting his source who he trusts but he might be doing just that. Best to wait.
Wait is Pilib the same guy who used to be a poster on here but got banned?
Sanchez has only played half a season so thatbis even a bigger risk but i would still have taken a gamble on him (not my money to gamble with) but by your reckoning if he played we real/barca would just buy him so whats the point.
Edit op's point

First, none of those players are remotely close to Pogba's ability. Second, I doubt either of those 2 will be first choice cms this season. I actually think 4 of the players you've mentioned are at risk of being sold and I'd be shocked if Schweinsteiger and Blind aren't at the least.
Even if we didn't get Pogba, about 90% sure we'd buy another first choice cm like Matuidi. You're very optimistic for Herrera, I don't see him getting many games next season outside of Europa or Capital One Cup. Schneiderlin will prob be Pogba's first backup if he signs, then Herrera, assuming both stay. I don't think either are capable of playing the more defensive midfield role Carrick performs. Schneiderlin was particularly awful whenever he tried the role last season. He's purely box to box imo.

I agree. But when we think about it with Martial and Ibra we have the Suarez and Neymar positions occupied with talent. God I'm back and forth. I guess it's just paying that for one player with our luck he'll get injured and our midfield will still be abit of a mess....
Philip Brown is very, very reliable. Knows few football agents that work for Gestefute. Mendes is brokering the deal for Paul Pogba, it is known. So I'd say he will know, if this is done!
Wouldn't mind seeing Pogba and Fabregas in our midfield next season. We'd fecking walk it.

For reasons I don't remember right now, this de brun guy was banned in twitter thread a season or two ago. Many though believe he is reliable with contacts at club.
All that money could stymie his development. Hell, if I won the lotto tonight I'd stop working.
Pogba's wealth has nothing to do with fulfilling his potential.
Here's the thing - money and talent are so closely linked in sport these days it's hard for a player to tell the difference. Just look at Ballon d'Or Bendtner.
Hopefully Pogba will sign and then silence the critics. But how successful do you need to be to silence the expectation that £100 mil brings?
*Kermit gif*
5 Minutes for most of the people moaning
Forget success - that will come with Jose. Most people stopped moaning once they saw in Martials first game, what he could do.To be fair his sentiments are pretty much spot on, in my opinion anyway. Besides, he is probably in the know more than most people, of what actually goes on in behind the scenes of the club.
Because he used to enjoy going on rants about the Glazers etc (and still does on occasion) and numbskulls kept flooding the transfer thread with it.
This was probably back when everyone blindly backed what the club was doing, but he was right about all that then, and is still right now.
This is getting a bit off-topic now, apologies. So, Pogba. Done next week.
Good Periscope from de Brun so far.
What is he saying? I can barely tell with that accent.
No, they aren't. Odds just reflect the trends.
Pogba should be wrapped up when he gets back in a week.
He anticipates - Schweini to move on
He said Januzaj has a massive attitude problem and may get loaned out
Wilson to be loaned out
He told himself via PM, on Twitter, about Mou joining and where he got the info. I'm just putting two and two together now, assuming that he must have got that info from the same source (Gestefute).
Unlikely. The guy does have contacts and is a very passionate United fan. I'm sure if he didn't actually hear it from a source he would have gone on a rant against Woodward about not buying the right players
Why would Mendes(Gestefute) broker the deal tho?
