I'd much rather we just sign someone else and move on to prepping fully for the season.

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.
We are all willing to wait a few more days, partly to sign Pogba but also to beat the record thread length.
It makes sense though, because there has been no concrete figure released, so they could 'demand' more money and accept a bid of €120m saying that previously we were only offering €100m. That would make it look like they got a much better deal, when in reality they really just accepted what we first offered. If you're going to sell a fan favourite, then you have to look like you're getting the absolute best deal for them
Like who?
I hope this doesn't drag out any longer. If it's not going to happen then we should walk away. As much as I would love to see pogba play for us, I don't want see us miss out on our plan B or C.
(Sarcastic tone) Sure..for a club who is €188m in debt that only made €2m net last year and was losing money season upon season before that. With a management structure that wants the club to be self-sufficient. The best thing to do is spuff another €94m on a transfer fee plus big wages and then break the wage structure to keep Pogba. Added that the new facilities that will cost €100m..sure why not just do that. This again is just saving face and feeding egos.
Raiola engineered Pogba rise to success which turned United 7th option into the most expensive cm in the world. Surely he deserves his cut
So the article says the €110m+€10m in bonuses isn't enough? Didn't we know that anyway as Juve want us to pay the agent fees which is another €20m? So in essence they want €140m from us?
If they're not accepting 110m feck em. He's good but he's not worth close to 150, whilst also wasting all this time when it's completely plausible that he could indeed stay at Juve. Just sign the other players Jose has identified and lets start getting ready for the season.
This saga is getting boring and frankly no-one knows shite as conflicting reports are coming out every day from everyone and their mum.

Raiola didn't do squat. It was Pogba's talent and his coaches who made him what he is today. It's like saying that you need to credit a beautiful house's construction to a real estate broker who acts as nothing but the middleman. Juve may actually owe Raiola for bringing Pogba to them but that is not enough for him to screw over a potential deal in which Pogba seemingly has his heart set on.
LOL this thread.
"this deal hasn't happened within my predetermined timeframe, why is Jose not moving on?"

Verrati, Not far off behind Pogba's level. Doubt PSG will sell but it worth throw in 60-80m and see how they react.
THE CAFTARDS ARE GOING BATSHIT!
GIVE US OUR PAUL BACK JUVE YOU STINGY PENNY PINCHING PASTA MUNCHING GREASY MAMAS BOYS MOTHER feckERS!

They won't react. They won't sell even for 150m.
If we need 100m+ to price away Pogba from Juventus, a club who's not the strongest financially imagine having to price away a better player from one of the richest clubs in the world like PSG. Probably not even 200m would be enough to sign Verratti.
I'm a big admirer of Pogba but Verratti is further ahead in his tactical development.
I think its obvious to everybody that our decline started once Moyes arrived.
I doubt that any Juve fan who is thinking with his brain, with all facts in front of him, will believe that.
Its just frustration, which is making them talk nonsense.
Its much like some MUFC fans in this thread who believe Juve are a "nothing" club. In most cases, they say this because they are not aware of just how big/successful they have been and currently are.
Some MUFC fans have also forgotten that we are a 4th/5th place club right now. This is a fact, not opinion and something that cannot be ignored.
What was the purpose of the Di Marzio update if it literally had nothing new in it.
LOL this thread.
"this deal hasn't happened within my predetermined timeframe, why is Jose not moving on?"
It has nothing to do with pre-determined time-frames, it's completely possible that he could not move to us and no Journo seems to know squat as everyone has a differing opinion on how far this deal is to being finalised. We are 3 weeks from the season starting and several very good midfielders who I'm sure were on our radar have been snapped up for very reasonable prices. The longer this saga goes on the less and less options we will have available, in a position we desperately need to strengthen in. Would be very amusing to miss out on them all in pursuit of a player that remains at Juve. We've done it before, Fabregas, Vidal, Thiago all say hi. They don't need the Pogba money to fund the Higuian deal as it is most likely going to be paid in installments.
It's a world record deal for a player that isn't even worth close to that yet FFS and the deal is still being held up, so obviously they're not as desperate for cash as everyone seems to assume.
PSG will laugh at us for anything under 200m.
Just buy someone else in a similar mould for 1/4 of the price and watch Juve panic.
They've already bought Pjanic and have lined up a mega deal for Higuain so they NEED to sell Pogba.

But his agent might want "what's best for my client etc..."
Not if they sell a lot of their fringe players. Unlike us they know how to sell them.
clicks. you should see how many juve fans have turned "remote possibility of staying" into Pogba will likely stay.
Again, for those that are now sweating muppet sweat. This is a NOTHING ARTICLE.
How many 6th choice man United players ended up playing at juventus? Raiola engineered such deal and provided his protection. Juventus promised Pogba a real shot to first team and having mino there ensured that they keep their word. You don't want to pass mino off
PSG would double any financial offer we make in a split second. He is contracted until 2020 and he is the only player they will never let go of unless he decides to run out his contract which lasts until 2020.But his agent might want "what's best for my client etc..."
I don't think I'm overrating him when I say Verratti is the most talented and will be the most complete central midfielder in a couple of years. Even now, he's better than most central midfielders at the top clubs.
So Juve haven't accepted our offer?
Racists!!!
Juve are being greedy now but they obviously need the money. We should give them a deadline, say end of Tuesday, and then do nothing apart from Woody phoning Marotta every few hours and saying "tick tock tick tock" then hanging up.
They might but may ask for Martial to be part of the deal,money is not at all issue for them.
All the journos changing their mind on this every day, they're just milking it for all the cash they can and in reality they most likely know very little. They're smart and realise how much money they can make from this saga.
Well, that is new because two days ago it said that we'd agreed a fee with Juve. We are actually going backwards according to reports!
Plus, giving us £5million for the incentive to remain fecked off from Veratti.
how on earth did you draw that conclusion from "remote possibility of staying"?
1. We knew Higuain's transfer was not DEPENDENT on pogba leaving. However it's been known from day 1 in papers like GdS that Juve were looking to get Higuain in and pogba would then be leaving.
2. We know there are teething negotiation issues around the fee.
3. Di Marzio's conclusion is that if there isn't a way to sort out all the issues there is a "remote possibility" of pogba staying.
Literally NOTHING different has been said.
If they've turned round and decided they want an extra 10/20 mil I'd look elsewhere to be honest. We shouldn't be made mugs of when they really need to sell given they've spent so much themselves.
I'd be happy with some decent up and coming player and us to finally spend the rest sorting our midfield and right back then get told we need to pay an extra 20 million for Pogba, just to put him next to Carrick.

If nothing is sorted I hope at this stage we pull out. feck em.
Who cares if we pay 150m for pogba?
We already wasted more than 200m on frauds. There's nothing to lose. It's not our money.

So, it looks like Rooney, once again, is going to screw up our play.
I think that if Rooney causes us problems, after a month or 2, he'll be benched.
Unlike LVG, Jose understands that winning is the most important part of his job. LVG never quite understood this and kept playing Rooney, even though he could not score enough goals.
We can afford it, it's not our money but it's stupid. He's not worth anywhere near the price we want to pay, let alone 150Million. Not only that, if we bend over for Juve and let them make us look like mugs we will get mugged by every club we want to do business with in the future and frankly as good as Pogba is he's not worth that hassle.
The meltdown if that happened
