After years of rationalising Pogba's departure from United I am willing to admit that I will be delighted to see him in a United shirt again.

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.
Me todger's well and truly firmMost certainly.
Agreed. It's in the bag but everyone needs to keep their muppet calm while the usual farce of bid, reject, re-bid, accept is done in a giant face-saving operation.
Hope you're right, and I hope it doesn't take too long. If Juventus want €120m and we're offering just over €100m it shouldn't take long to sort it out, in theory.
They'll reject, posture and then accept €110M with add ons.
I think there has been plenty of negotiations so far and inquiries from our side before presenting the actual offer.
I will tell you why.
Because as a fan, if we are planning to spend £150M (or whatever the latest cost is), then I'd prefer we spend that money on another player OR 2 other players.
There comes a point where as a fan, I think we could spend that money more wisely, to get better results on the pitch. That's all.
£100M for Pogba would be "okay". But if its any more than this, then I'd seriously suggest we look at other players.
100M Euros is much better.
If Raiola has organised the meeting, ready with our bid in hand, that surely has to mean Pogba is on board and this is full steam ahead!

About fecking time the thread title changed to something that represents good news.
We will offer 100mil, they will reject it, we will up to 120mil, they will accept it.
Juve come out of this looking like they wanted to keep him but the offer was just too much money to turn down.
Its all panto bullshit for the fans this.

Between the heat and this saga I don't think my heart can take it. C'mon Juve, let us have him.
C'mon Juve, let us have him.How about £84/85M as reported by Di Marzio about 15 mins ago?
Some English press saying it's 100 million pounds
Bolded is the thing with LVG. Would he have guided Spain to 3rd? He is an amazing coach but not necessarily good with star players. I think he prefers to work with young players. There are lots of players who have fallen out with him. Also he seems to prefer more all-round players which is not that attractive to star players.
I have always wondered who was to blame for United's poor transfers in recent years, either LVG/Moyes or Woodward. If Pogba is coming, and combined with our previous aquirements this summer, it's kind of proven Woodward is not to blame.
I rate him extremely high as a manager though.
that would be rediculously disappointing after all the reports and posturing, for it to all go titts up
Woodward like,
See ya.
The fire rises.
It's tough to differentiate between pounds and euros for the English press. Poor chaps.
Of course they do, when they are done with the tabloidnomics the initial price will be £180m.
Whoever thought towards the back end of last season that we would have zlatan, micky targaryan and now be on the cusp of bringing Paul fecking Pogba back home :'( I'm almost moved to tears. Why did it take so long to get mourinho? I love the man.
I could be wrong but I don't see Pogba as a player that transforms your midfield, he doesn't bump its level. Players like Suarez, Bale or Ronaldo transforms an area of your team, they transform your attack.
If that happens chances are Real or whoever won't pay the fee.
English press love inflating fees that we pay. Its euros. The deal will be done in euros and english press will claim it as pounds.
English press love to just swap the currency symbol. feckwits.
I see nobody is worried about the price of pogba anymore after we signed Richard Branson.
I remember a couple of people on Rawk last week said £200mil and £300mil respectively was his fee lol.
For 100m I'm gonna expect 10/10 performance from him for every single match.
Tweeted himself all in white
Leeds it is.
We see it all the time when United is involved, this is the formula:
If United buy a player:
- Casually switch from Euros to Pounds
- Include all bonuses as a one off payment
- Include all wages for the duration of the contract in the transfer fee
If United sell a player:
- Casually switch from Pounds to Euros
- Exclude all bonuses alltogether
Like i said, posturing will be done before final deal. This will make us and pogba look bad to juve fans. Its a Pr exercise now.
In which case you are going to be disappointed.
Do Bale, Suarez, Ronaldo etc give 10/10 performances every game. How about James?
Tbf I'm fairly sure they're saying it's around 100m euros +around 20m in bonuses which adds up to around £100m
Not even messi does that or neymar. Hell look at muller in euros.
So, this meeting could take place today? If the stories of Mino being in Manchester are true, are there any private planes travelling from Manchester to Turin?

The meeting will be so important to make first bid, to understand if Pogba will ask to leave, if Man Utd can find an agreement with Juve
