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.
You and me both. How on earth can we justify this? I'd like to know how much money we'll be making off the pitch by getting him. Surely it's got to be a lot because I can't see what else is there.
Anyway, will shut up now as I don't want angry muppets on my case
It's from the above article posted by vanGaalEra. "Il centrocampista francese è vicino al ritorno ai Red Devils con un trasferimento dalle cifre astronomiche (oltre i 100 milioni)."

If he contributes to winning only one CL it will all be worth it, and even more.
Neither do they seem to have the money for it, nor can they afford to disrupt their salary structure by offering Pogba what you are.
The modern day fan is obsessed with transfer fees 
It's not your money!

I should have been clearer - it's United humiliating themselves by acceding to Juve's demands over someone not in Messi's league.
In that article, Di Marzio says the transfer is close.
In English?
€145mil, they can keep him.
Fine. The problem is my doubts over him having a major impact. I just don't believe at this moment that he will. I'm praying he proves me wrong - but I cannot see it happening at this moment. We'll just have to wait and see.
Closer than it's been for several days already?!
I wish we had "humiliated" ourselves and given Hazard's agent what he wanted.
I personally don't think we're up to paying 120m euros for the player, another 20% on top of that to Raiola, the fee to buy Pogba's image rights and a sign-on bonus. Unless we somehow compromise with Raiola or Juventus regarding the 20%, there's no way we're paying those fees which would well be close to 150m euros.
I wouldn't say "humiliated" but if the figures are accurate and Juventus keep upping their demands then we should walk away, otherwise it will set a dangerous precedent in future. Clubs will think that we'll pay anything just to get a player and push prices even further.
The french midfielder is close to re-joining the Red Devils for the huge fee of over 100m.
It's pretty much the same as was reported 5 days ago. Only thing holding the deal up is the problem on Raiola's 20% cut.
That's a fair worry - I'm very confident he'll make a good enough impact.
Lads all of this is so humiliating. We should sign Leon Osman instead.
Juve are just doing business. They don't want to lose him, so it is only natural that they are driving the price up as much as possible. They know you are desperate for a world class midfielder and exploit that as good as they can.
Thing is, you and any other club would do the same if they were in Juve's position.
I hope we don't go through with this transfer. They can refuse our huge offer and enjoy him for one more year before selling him for half of what we offered to Real.
We'd need to get Moyes back in to broker a deal of that magnitude. Question is, is it worth it?!
His value in the market will only rise. He's contracted to Juventus until 2019. The fact is, we need Paul. There's no one else in the market who could give us what he can give us.
Que someone telling you how Matuidi can do a job.
This. Also, It's not just the sporting side - Pogba is the next big name in the game marketing wise. We are desperately short of a new "face". Rooney is soon done and then we only really have de Gea and Martial of a potentially similar magnitude.
Most clubs would state their demands to begin with, not keeping increasing them when someone met the previous offer - if the reports are true.
Pull out over an extra 20M? What about us muppets?
Can't see Woody pulling out tbh, they'll come to an agreement and meet in the middle somewhere.

Less of the negativity ladies and gentlemen. This is a done deal. Riola is United's bitch or vise versa.
Real Madrid supposedly interested is just Juve/agent leaking stories to sharpen United's pens. Basically, more interest in your goods/client better the deal.

Ed is desperate for a marquee signing, I think it will hurt to his bones to pull out of this. He'll get it done!
You guys remember when we didn't sign Hazard because of some agent extra fees or something and people were depressed for days on? Do people want to go through that again?
Sure 145 or even 120 are absurd fees but what's it to us(fans)? We get Pogba once and for all and hopefully never have to deal with Juventus ever again when it comes to transfers and such.

I really hope this is done on Monday, we need him. Matuidi is a good player but don't be naive, we are settling for a player who is at his peak already, Pogba is already a better player and will only get better.
Good grief.....get this over already !
I remember Ed saying that Manchester United should be able to make these transfers happen instead of all of these type of players going to Spain. Now it's his time to prove himself!
But it won't happen.
Not just Hazard. Lucas and Nasri as well!

Exactly! Bite the bullet and then refuse to deal with the feckers ever again.
Until they sign a Pogba replacement who ends up being better and then you want him too - why do other clubs in Europe seem to be able to consistently do this? Atletico Madrid and strikers sticks in my head in particular!
Doesn't matter what the fee is really, we'd be comfortably be able to afford them with all the sponsorship deals and revenue streams we have.
Plus if Pogba elevates us to the next level and we get back to winning ways, our revenue will only increase further.

The bolded part is the important one. All we got are tweets from wannabe insiders who in reality know jack what is going on.
Some of you could use a little away time from this thread. Go get some fresh air! This is nailed on, only a matter of time before it's official.
Is that what they want for him now ?
Couldn't be China there window closed a week or so ago.
I ran 9 miles yesterday, don't need air today
When is Ed due in China? Tomorrow?
