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.
What I wrote completely flew over you. I'm not talking about pitch performances and such, I'm talking about marketability with each club.
Even now despite having gone 3 horrible seasons compared to Juventus who've reached some highs, we're still a far more marketable option than Juve and the EPL also allows for far more exposure than Serie A.
Everyone already know that Juventus have currently a better squad then us but even that is bound to change rather sooner than later given the resources we have compared to them. While us despite missing CL football this we're still able to attract and bring in payers while Juve keep losing their key players year after year(Vidal last year).
A year or 2 from now, we're likely to end up with a stronger team then Juve, and better equipped to fight for the CL. These are the fact(well with some projections which might or might not get to be but the likelihood of us getting back up are higher). We get Pogba this year we reinforce, with CL likely next year we'll be in an ever better position to bring in more quality with our resources, meanwhile Juve can't easily pull such things off and are rather likely to lose another key player.
You should go out, go for a hike or read a book or somehing. Take a Pogba break.
Lol even mods are in it. Close the thread then if it's done !
I have full confidence that as soon as we wrap this deal up that the Fabinho thread will be in full swing along with the Manolas one.
For better or worse this thread will go down in Caf folklore
is it likely that this medical was done in Madrid to try and hide the signing? So when pogba leaves for MUFC, juve could quickly counter the rage with a "surprise" signing? I mean there was no way a medical like this in turin would stay silent.. Just so happens, unfortunately, to be ruined by release of medical records.
I agree for most of it. Madrid will get a transfer ban so the wait will be 2 years though. Also, Pogba may have some personal statement to make towards United but from a career perspective, indeed, Juventus is still a more valid option.
that's a lot of mula
They were second last season and were competing for championship at one point.
This is complete and utter BS
My contribution to the shit fest!
quoting accounts like unitedreport should result in an immediate threadban
(generally, not just this op) those accounts lie and twist proper reports
Just annoying when these things drag on longer than they should. The same thing day in, day out. I have bad experiences with long transfer sagas, as they normally end badly. I'd prefer to know certainties and if he won't be signing then I'd rather we focus our time and effort on other players. Everyday we are told how close the deal is yet every other day there's a, new hiccup or stumbling block.
I need a break from checking this thread every hour or so. I'm going outside to play Pogeman Go. Nothing will happen until at least next week other than a load of desperate stab in the dark tweets to tie the BS journos over until Monday.
On a serious note, I never believed Pogba doesn't want to come here and is only doing it for money and ego. It's shocking how some people easily believe narratives from pissed off Juve fans attacking his character instead of the player himself who has professed his love to Manchester in the past, and recently called United his first family.
Thread took a turn away form muppettry to a very bad place the last few pages. I can't wait for him to sign so we can move on to discussing football, and mostly so I can get my life back!

The Juventuz lot seem to want him to go Real and don't think he'll come here. Then again, they also think they're 2nd in the world behind Barca, 'Real and Bayern are arguably level'.

20m per season is insane.
Some girls are more mercenary than others. And some girls mothers...
Would be funny if we pull out of the deal and they were relying on the Pogba funds! Ok maybe funny for a second.....
Hoping this is wrapped up by today. Sick of this saga.

Has he posted on Instagram yet?
I wonder if there's a point where United pulls out of the deal. If not, Juve should just keep cranking up the price & make United pay for all the extras, which is what seems to be happening.
I think the backlash of United pulling out at this stage keeps them in it, no matter if Juve's demands keep changing.

Kante clearly didn't want to play for us. He went to Chelsea. He's dead to me now. Unless we sign him in the future! Listen if Pogba resigns I'll support him but he better put a shift in every game.

Must be a little soul destroying for them they have a team currently well above ours a huge chance of winning the best competition in European football, but the Serie A is pretty irrelevant these days there is no excitement for the italian league which is their downfall.
The global appeal of English football, the media and the hype is so much more appealing even if were currently miles behind them as a team, everyone outside Italy can see this embarrassingly they still think he will stay.
At the end of the day, you have a bias...so people are not having a discussion but rather looking at other ways to say the same thing to convince others that they are wrong. It's a waste of time. Likewise, knowing you don't like him - don't want him and would rather matuidi - why would anyone think for a second you could change your mind or think any different? There are pro's and cons to any deal. But no one can convince you, you are wrong. So isn't it best to let events transpire to show you are right?...
This is the most publicly un-public transfer ever, surely.
Was hoping we'd unveil him as part of the kit launch (optimistic).

I don't blame them. This EL Classico thing has everybody brainwashed.The Juventuz lot seem to want him to go Real and don't think he'll come here. Then again, they also think they're 2nd in the world behind Barca, 'Real and Bayern are arguably level'.
It's ok for those 2 sides to sign your top players for ridiculous fees because they are the cream of the crop. Everybody suffers against them so it doesn't hurt the clubs image to lose out to those two.
People tell themselves that losing their star player wouldn't be a disaster. They will use that money to sign quality and bridge that gap to the elite two. That is always the theory.
If they lose a player to United, a team a level below them at present...there's nothing they can tell themselves to make that better.
The sooner United make a dent in this El Classico bullshit the better.
I'll believe it when I see it.
I don't think Juventus's demands are changing, it has been the same sticking point all the time: they don't want to pay Raiola his bonus.
I'll change my mind if he signs and turns out brilliant for us. I'll happily change my mind but yes at the minute I don't like him as a player or as a 'professional'. You are right there is no real reason for people to argue with me on this. I'm just posting my thoughts and concerns about this transfer. This game is all about opinions after all.
Lock this thread?
One of the biggest transfer threads in the history of the caf?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Exactly. Let's see if we sign him first. People are going round and round in circles. If we got 4 years out of Pogba - and sold him - it wouldn't be the end of the world. It would probably be for a record fee and then it comes down to how we handle/deal with it - to ensure we bring quality in. It's up to us not to repeat the Ronaldo sale nonsense. However, we would all rather he stay a long time and become the best player he can be.
He won't sign for us.
He will. It's the only possible outcome.
