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.
The way I take it is that Pogba would be happy to stay at Juve.
In that case - if United feel that it is worth paying £100m to have Pogba play for them, then Juve will think it's worth turning down £100m to have him play for them. His importance to them would be that they would have an unreal squad ready to compete for the Champions League, possibly higher than the perceived importance he would have for us.
Obviously it would be different if Pogba wanted to leave, they would happily take £100m and see him off as it's a great offer and why keep an unhappy player? The reason I believe this transfer is dragging is because he hasn't asked to leave and Juve want to keep him. That is what the Italian media are saying.
Now, it does get to the point where the money becomes so ridiculous that the club gives up and accepts the bid, that's the only way I can see this transfer happening - as that female journalist seems to think.
Then, if he does come how committed will he be? I agree he is a different character to Di Maria, and it may be a stupid concern..only time would tell and Jose is an inspiring manager. For all I know he could be excited to put right what he left behind, it's just the case that yes he would have stayed at Juve but he is also happy to go to United.
We'll see. All I'm saying is Pogba is on holiday until August 6th and he doesn't seem in a hurry to sign for United. This deal will drag on in my opinion.

Pogba is in the same situation DDG was in last summer. He doesnt mind staying but at the same time he knows moving would do him a world of good. But he isnt going to ask for a transfer because he doesnt want to alienate anyone especially the fans if the deal falls through.
Every time a poster comes in here we give them the same reply. are they not bored with it
come on folks
1) yes are aware some think he isnt worth the money
2) yes we know some of you think this is like di maria saga
3) yes we know some of you think this is like vidal saga
4) yes we also know some of you think this is like thiago saga
5) we are also aware that some think signing 3 players is better than signing just him
6) It was also brought to our attention that some of you think he will leave to madrid in 3 years
7) we are told also that he isnt world class yet
did i miss anything
I agree.
Di Maria was an exception rather than the norm. Plenty of players aren't at their favorite clubs but still give their all on the pitch because they're professionals and it's their jobs to do so.
Agree. Look at De Gea.
Really! What a post.
Zidane is more famous than giggs.Every time a poster comes in here we give them the same reply. are they not bored with it

It's nothing about disrespect - if he asks for a transfer than he will lose out on a loyalty bonus - it's purely a financial issue.
I think we can cover that with a signing bonus.
Forgot about that. Mostly that then.
Eh? His agent is going to force through a move he doesn't want to happen. That's crazy talk.
exactly , I for one think hes already agreed to come and its just negotiations taking forever
Why do our representatives need to meet Juve representatives to place an initial bid, that's likely to be rejected? I'd imagine it'd go like this
"We want to offer you €100m for Pogba"
"No, we need-a more maaani"
"Okay, I'll be back" Leaves office with a sad expression on his face
Sounds bad from an economic POV and an environmental one.

Why would we do that?
If you offer the 'asking price' right away, you lose leverage.
That wasn't my point. My point was why we'd have to meet them in person, rather than offering it via any of the many technological avenues available to both clubs. I'd imagine Juventus have phones, e-mails, faxes (!), and computers.
I can't believe there is people in this thread that genuinely believe Pogba has no interest and that his agent is just on a one man crusade to get a move just to fill his pocket.
At this very moment Ed is trying to send the offer by pigeon post but the damned pigeon keeps flying back to Manchester
Yeah, I think if this was going to happen it probably would have by now.

Pogba is in for a real shock when he lands in Turin, strolls into Juventus training camp...
Pogba: "Hey Lads, back from my holiday!"
Allegri: "Why the f-- are you here?"
Pogba: "Sorry I'm a bit late boss"
Allegri: "Why aren't you in manchester f- off you mercenary"
The bitterness
Careful not to upset the muppets, I said exactly the same thing the other day.
Get the feeling we will get Pogba
Think Woodward will work especially hard to get him and we will end up paying about 110 million
Crazy but feck it eh

Yes and it didn't make any more sense either.
That makes no sense whatsoever.

This is a ridiculous stand off tbh.
Pogba apparently saying he will only move if Juve agree to a deal, and Juve saying they will only agree to a deal if Pogba says he wants to move.
Something has to give somewhere obviously, and one of them will need to blink first if it's to happen. Smart money is on Juve making the first move and accepting an astronomical fee, in which case Pogba can then exercise his right to say, 'well Juve agreed a fee, so I guess I'll go'. However, the noises Juve are putting out is that they will reject even the most ridiculous so long as the player doesn't tell them he wants to leave.

That makes no sense. There would be no meeting if Pogba didn't want to leave, Raiola is acting on Pogba's behalf.
Why are Serie A fans bitter over this. Imagine all the other PL clubs were bitter over Ronaldo going to Madrid.
I've been at a BBQ all evening, what's the latest? Like, real stuff not some fake ITK saying Pogba prefers to move to Stoke.
Haven't bothered with this thread for a whole lle day... Can someone ping me at the time when I have to change my location? Thanks
Follow the comments onwards from that tweet, there's hundreds. Full blown Twitter war lol.
Giggs is more infamous.
