Higuain getting a medical in Madrid to go to Juventus for 94 million. Rumours of Juventus announcing his departure tonight.

Can't say I agree with him.
Pogba didn't leave because of money, but playing time. It was his ambition to become one of the best that made him leave.
Of course his understanding will be from what (likely) Sir Alex told him, but what Sir Alex told him and what came out later on (which he obviously didn't catch) is far from each other.

Not thinking he's worth the money is old-mans thinking, but I can accept that he thinks he isn't worth the money, it's a valid argument, doesn't mean we don't need him and have the cash to make it happen.

Scholes problem is he still thinks it's the 1990's when it comes to football. Football has moved on and he's still rambling on like a dinosaur.

Paul Scholes:
'I just don't think he is worth £86m,' the ex-England international told Sport Witness.

'For that sort of money, you want someone who is going to score 50 goals a season like (Cristiano) Ronaldo or (Lionel) Messi.

'Pogba is nowhere worth that kind of money yet.'

Scholes' memories of a young Pogba are an exciting talent who expected too much, too early.

'He was a very talented young player, I played with him and I knew how good he was,' he said.

'He played for the first team maybe once or twice, but from my understanding he was asking for too much money.

'For his age, he was asking for far too much money, that too for a player who hasn't played first team football.

'OK, he has gone on to great things. I think certainly there has been a lot of improvement. He needed to improve if he is going to be a player worth £86m.'

Scholes was much better when he spoke less. The less he speaks the better. He's one of the main reasons why we lost Pogba and why we have to pay so much money to get him back now.
 
Respect Scholes a great deal, but if it was easy to pay £86 million for anyone you like, we'd have had a few over the last 3 years since Ferguson left.
 
Should make a RULE if anyone starts a post with "I THINK" they should be banned from posting,
I think...

Sssoooo annoying.

Scholes should also say that it was okay for Pogba to be pissed off (Park+Rafael in midfield and the return of Scholes).
 
Scholes is just talking out his arse. We have already discussed in terms of 'revenue' this deal equated to Rio's transfer fee. We all know how that turned out, so the money argument at this stage is so completely stupid, theres just no need. Let's discuss his ability as a footballer, and leave it at that.
 
I think this transfer will be done by the weekend. If not Monday. If not next week. If not next month. Maybe next summer if we're lucky.

In all seriousness I expect the deal to be announced next Monday but hopefully by the weekend.

He thinks we should still be playing 442 with Valencia raiding down the right and whipping in crosses

Not surprising to hear Scholes say something like this. He seems to be a really simple thinker

It was confirmed Uniteds offer was bigger than what he moved to Juve for. I've got a feeling Scholes has a bee in his bonnet about the fact Pogba has been vocal that his coming out of retirement was the reason he left.
 
Who cares what Scholes think? Can we not have pages of discussion about this, it's way too boring.

A few months back on Second Captains they discussed Scholes as a pundit and basically articulated my issue with him better than I could. He has one speed: moaning about United. Beyond that, he's a poor pundit. He doesn't speak well, relies on cliches and bland, meaningless statements - when he isn't ranting about United - and, most importantly. he doesn't appear to have any real insight into the game from the perspective of a pundit.
 
Scholes is 100% correct, but it doesn't change the fact that this is the type of money a club such as us will have to shell out for a player of Pogba's caliber.
 
We've been here so many times before. I was confident that we had finally signed a player that we have been involved in a saga with but my gut feeling today is that Madrid will find some way of getting him. I just can't see us bringing him back, I think it's gone on too long, if we were going to sign him I think it would of been done by now. Finding myself looking for news every 5 mins but setting myself up for disappointment.

Read all of the timeline. "Zidane wants Pogba."

The AS article is utterly baseless, it just says Zidane likes Pogba but they can't finance it until they sell James, the rest is speculation.

The other stuff on his timeline from the other Spanish paper is just ridiculous guesswork based on nothing.

Empty stuff to get clicks/sell papers.

There is way too many "if's and buts" for madrid. They are going to have to sell James to even have a chance of pogba, and that has been completely dashed by James going public and wanting to stay. The on top of that, Di Marzio infoming us that pogba dismissed their personal offer because he had one with us.
 
So, Real Madrid in for Pogba according to Tancredi.

This isn't going to end well - and I was feeling calm earlier.

:(

Another crazy theory

Maybe Woodward has assumed all along that RM would come in and buy Pogba, like always happens in the end, whilst he can continue to demonstrate that he's in the market for the world's biggest players.

But now, Perez is sitting back laughing to himself by the size of the fee while Woody is going "OK, Perez, we are going to buy him....any - minute - now.....here we go....just the agent fee to sort out....."
