it doesn't really matter how they pay him. Parts of the italian media has linked Pogba's departure to Higuain coming in for days now. Whether he's just a big name replacement or they are using the pogba money, doesn't matter, it's the signal we've been waiting for.

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.
Pogba leaving Juventus should be pretty much a given now, let's hope it's to us.
To be fair to Juve, they did what Spurs and Liverpool should've done with the Bale and Suarez money. Get one quality player to replace a departing quality player, not a bunch of decent to above average ones.
Don't believe for one second that juventus are spending that much on Higuain, even if they announced it themselves.
Yeah that's what I mean. They are already negative even after the Morata sale.
They can probably offload Zaza and couple of young players but will be still around 70 or something net spend which overshoots their transfer budget.
Maybe Juventus were waiting for this deal to be concluded before they signed off on the Pogba deal.
My thinking is, why has he had a medical before activating his clause, and also why Juve not made a huge deal of his medical like they do all the players they sign?
Aparantly that transfer changed within a hour. Things change
Why?
for two seasons. I don't think they will spend 0 net next season. Besides if they sell Pogba it won't be 100m pounds cash. It will be in installments as well.
They did this when they sold Zidane as well and remained competitive, very well run club in general (apart from the match fixing stuff). Compare that to us when we sold Cristiano Ronaldo, that summer still haunts me.
They would need a replacement in some way. Now they can play Higuain up top with Dybala taking Pogba's place as a #10 with Pjanic and Marchisio/Khedira behind them.
€94m for Higuain and €120m plus for Pogba? Football really is on its arse.
And by that time how much would the club have made by then? People moaned about the Glazers taking out 700m from the club to service the debts and are now moaning about them spending 150m to invest in team, when will it stop?
I would have thought it would have been the other way round if anything. They'd need to confirm they have the pogba money wrapped up before spending big on Higuain
The fans will be less pissed off if they first bring in a marquee player before selling one.
Imagine how pissed off they'd be if they sold Pogba and then bought Owen, Valencia, and Obertan.
Woah, that's insane if true. Hope this means the Pogba deal is a done dealio and this thread can be finally put to rest.
Depends on the angle you're looking at it. Seems like it's prospering more than ever and is garnering more and more money for clubs to do crazy things with.
Dark, dark days indeed.
I think they will be more pissed spunking 94m of the 120 they get for Pogba on a 29 year old.
Our deal is practically done. We might just be hashing out some nitty gritty details with the agent for his fee.
He edges Ronaldo, Ronaldo was just a bot under at the time.
Second most expensive player of all time....
Tempting lol
Doubt it. Higuain is a quality player. Even without Pogba their team will arguably be stronger than it was last season.
It's done then. No way Juve would drop that amount of money without a guarantee they're getting it back.
They are just going all out to win the Champions League as quickly as possible but Im not sure buying Higuain gives them the best chance.
Wow and even with that record Napoli have been nowhere near the league?
Strange thing is that Juve don't need him to walk the lead why risk such a high fee.
Maybe if they kept Pogba, they would be formidable.
Higuain - Dybala
Pogba
Pjanic - Marchisio
Khedira
Pogba
Pjanic - Marchisio
Khedira
Imagine if Pogba stays though, and Juve cons a midtable PL team/Chinese/PSG into blowing 100m on Pereyra and Lemina. Their team will be up there with the Spanish Big 3, Bayern and Dortmund as CL favorites, probably better than all except Barca (on paper).
I voted no.
Not even is Pogba incredibly overpriced, but we need defenders more than we need him.
100 million can buy a couple of the best defenders in the the world, and would have more of a positive effect than buying Pogba would.

They dont care about Serie A. They want the Champions League.
They are now aiming for European glory
€94M for Gonzalo Higuaín? The world has gone mad.
Just his opinion but still...
Not for the relevant clubs it's not
They have activated the clause, haven't they? Or are they saying the medical was done first?
It has all happened rather hush hush hasn't it. Not sure why.
As far as I remember his Champions League scoring record isn't even good. Benzema made his look crap anyway.
Higuain is the 2nd most expensive player in history. Cost more than Ronaldo.
Muppets, I'm out for the next 9/10 hours!
When I'm back, I want Pogba done
