Mourinho on Pogba

"You have smoke, you have fire - you used to say something like that, right? I am not going to try to make you naive and believe that we are not trying for one player. But we know first of all that the player belongs to another club, which is not a small club. It is also a big club, a club with economical power to fight for their best players, to try and keep their best players. Apart from that we know other clubs are also involved and for us it is not kind of 'are we going to win the race or to lose the race?'. It is not a race, it is just the market."

If Madrid get a bid accepted, I don't think they will have any problems agreeing personal terms as I think he wants to be there. I feel he wants to hold off joining to see if Real's interest is genuine.

Just my two cents, hopefully I'm completely wrong.

They will have the same issue we are supposedly having. Image rights and Raiolas share.

Its not the wages to Pogba thats holding this deal up, that was the first thing to get agreed according to the ITKs.

If Madrid beat us to it, they they will be offering Juve more than what we are to make up for Raiolas percentage. And if they do, fair play to them because 120m euros is already crazy.

 

[ChaddyP]

First time i have actually felt a bit wary . I hope its just Mou putting pressure on Raiola to put down his ridiculous demands

 

[Offside]

Ah you are that friend that always asks for a lift and always gets it. And then one day your friend doesn't give you a lift, you go and complain about it all day.

Di Marzio said Juve wanted Gomes. His information is from Italy.

I'm the friend who gets a lift most days but in the past used to miss out on the lift all the time, and I haven't forgotten. Di Marzio used to spew shit all the time. The problem is I don't have a clear example as I can't remember, but I remember one time him getting slated about talking bullshit. Think it was about Ozil to United. He is worth listening to but isn't gospel.

 

[podurban2]

I don't understand the people at Juventuz, the forum. They're pissed off at United trying to sign Pogba, but have no problem if Madrid or Barca eventually signs him? What mentality is that?

It's laughable. They are really hoping RM sign him, so pathetic.

 

[TrustInJanuzaj]

If you actually watch the interview on the BBC it only makes the deal appear closer tbh

 

[Tiber]

Madrid sure wont like losing Gomes

To be fair I'd be pretty gutted if my star player moved to a club playing Europa League as opposed to either of the two best teams in the world at the minute. I know what you mean but I guess they consider his move to us a huge step down.

Sounds like complete BS, Pogba is coming home

 

[ChaddyP]

Wouldnt be surprised i woke up tomorrow and heard we signed Kroos while Pogba went to PSG

 

[RooneyLegend]

Does uncle Flo's fax machine work now? This could be a crisis if they finally convince James to hit the road.

 

[Eddy_JukeZ]

That interview did not make me think it was definitely Pogba. Marca also made out Andre Gomes was Madrid bound and wanted them only.. he has just joined Barca. Right now maybe theyre not in for him..... but the minute they get enough dollar, and if hes still with Juve, theyll bid IMO

He's not going to come out and flat out say Pogba is coming.

This deal is done. Be patient. It's a world record transfer. It can't be done in just 1 day.

To be fair, he sounds rather relaxed there, either he knows the deal is done, or he's genuinely not bothered if we miss out on Pogba as he knows we'll sign one of the names he's suggested

If some Madrid fans are reading this they'll laugh and laugh hard how some of United fans are fearing Madrid.

 

[charlenefan]

I'm a little worried now I must say, Mourinho's comments were clearly designed to put some form of pressure on Juve or Raiola.

Real Madrid aren't out of this yet, FFS United just this once pay what it takes let's not let this be another Sneijder or Vidal saga where we just end up looking stupid at the end of it

 

[Offside]

Yep. When quotes get put into text and then trimmed for the 140 character limit, it can completely misconstrue the actual message.

 

[salford_]

That is what i think and especially to Barca. Their politics in Spain will just be to outdo one another, and Pogba outdoes the lot.

I fully expect them to bid, just an opinion.

 

[Acquire Me]

Pogba #6 it is then?

 

[VanGaalEra]

This has turned into a full blown saga! Every night this week has had drama.

 

[Eddy_JukeZ]

If some Madrid fans are reading this they'll laugh and laugh hard how some of United fans are fearing Madrid.

It's embarrassing to read.

The amount of times the deal has been "off" to some in here after something was posted on Twitter is hilarious.

 

[Ban]

Pogba #6 it is then?

I was wondering where you are. Calm some people here. It's panic stations all around.

 

[SwansonsTache]

I seriously believe that RM is in the mix now. Perez ego just can't take loosing out on this one.

And actually, I'm not too bothered. With the same amount we can sign two other players and probably be just as well off. (no I dont have any targets in mind, but Jose does.)

 

[Attila]

If some Madrid fans are reading this they'll laugh and laugh hard how some of United fans are fearing Madrid.

It is funny and pathetic

 

[RedStarUnited]

There is genuine fear in here that Madrid will beat us to Pogba, no matter what.

 

[salford_]

He's not going to come out and flat out say Pogba is coming.

This deal is done. Be patient. It's a world record transfer. It can't be done in just 1 day.

He also isnt going to confirm other clubs are in the race if it is done. There are 2 options as he said, and he thinks one of them wil sign. Pogba and Matuidi/Matic i bet

 

[Ban]

Yeah. As I said they would find it hilarious.

 

[VanGaalEra]

Does uncle Flo's fax machine work now? This could be a crisis if they finally convince James to hit the road.

Marca saying they pulled out of signing Gomes because James reiterated that he wanted to stay!

Watch the interview.

Comments don't tell the full story.

 

[podurban2]

Pogba #6 it is then?

Any news from the ITK lands?

 

[JPRouve]

If you actually watch the interview on the BBC it only makes the deal appear closer tbh

Optical illusions, aren't they amazing?

 

[djdhrubs]

United will do their usual. Get close, dither, miss out. It's the United way

Hang on a sec. I thought a trusted source had told you that Mourinho had nixed this deal! Maybe we're not dithering. If we don't sign him, won't it be cos we've withdrawn from it?!

 

[LawCharltonBest]

Maybe I'm just negative minded but I thought thw opposite. He said he wouldn't be surprised if Pogba (obviously didnt name him, but made it obvious) wasn't the player they signed in that position

 

[Irrational.]

I don't understand the people at Juventuz, the forum. They're pissed off at United trying to sign Pogba, but have no problem if Madrid or Barca eventually signs him? What mentality is that?

Also known as the 'Anyone But United' mentality. It's quite common.

 

[united_99]

Have ppl forgotten we did get RvP, Mata and Di Maria? Back then those were seen as big / important / exciting transfers and two of them broke the club record and two of them came from our league rivals.
All I read here is that we never got a big signing in the past.

 

[Brownie85]

That is what i think and especially to Barca. Their politics in Spain will just be to outdo one another, and Pogba outdoes the lot.

I fully expect them to bid, just an opinion.

I think it depends on if Real really do need to sell to be able to buy him.
If thats the case they they'd have to sell Morata or James quickly and buying clubs would know that

 

[Judas]

Expect people will still be scared of Real signing him even when he's playing the opening game of the season for us.

 

[salford_]

SSHHH that wasnt said, so it gets ignored

 

[Eddy_JukeZ]

James is staying.

Morata in all likelihood is staying too.

 

[salford_]

I think it depends on if Real really do need to sell to be able to buy him.

In case of Morata there is Chelsea who have bid twice and would take him.

 

[Ban]

No. They will be then scared that Madrid will come in 3 years and try to sign him. They'll be scared those whole 3 years.
And for Martial too. They'll ask themselves when will Madrid come to take him away.
