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.
Worse source than the metro
He's just quoting the Italian press.
English clubs are, everyone else is civil. Juve being the exception becuase they are using our money. Unless someone bought sanchez from barca for 60 million that year i dont see how they could have got much higher for him. Madrid never had the funds after what they spent. and the TV deal was 2/3 years away
All true, but in 2-3 years when the first £200 million player is signed people will probably say that Juventus should have held out for at least £150 million for Pogba.
£70 odd million for Suarez a few years back was good business, it only now looks cheap when it's compared with today's inflated market.
This is more epic than when Ronaldo was spotted in Tesco on Pendleton way.
Neymar to United confirmed!
Must have been researching via the Caf
Barca have government money. they have endless supply.
Blimey, this saga has gone on longer than I thought...
Sounds good to me buddy!
Chop chop Woody! Get the deal done! What's £200 million amongst friends?
Haha, cheers pal. Bring it on today.
If they did they would have been able to afford Pogba, especially since they were willing to offer up to 80m Euros to sign Gomes and Gameiro. Extra 40m is nothing if they had "endless" supply of money.
By the time we get finished with this, we'll have to take into account inflation of the pound.I don't think its just promise we are buying.
Memphis was promise (which failed). Martial was promise (which is likely to succeed - he is not there yet).
But Pogba can operate at a World Class level, right now. He has already played in the Euro Final for country. He has played in CL final for Juve. And already won league titles. Its startling that he is so young and already accomplished so much.
He may improve further, but we are buying him to have immediate impact; not be great in 2 years.
they don't want Pogba. Same reason Pep doesn't want him. he can't play that system.
Hopefully there's a lot more of "everything done" from people like Di marzio... This saga has gone in circles it feels like for days. Just get it done and then move on to the next target.
Suarez did not cost £75M.
This is a misnomer.
His cost: £65M
Barca got a great deal on him. Who knows why LFC gave in so easily. Arguably one of the best and most in form strikers in the World and he gets sold for a moderate price.
But they literally said, they were priced out.
‘We know Pogba, he is a player who proved to be very strong and, for a while, Barcelona were interested, but clearly the dynamics changed and once the figures reached a certain point, we were no longer interested.'
Braida said that himself
We won't see a £200m player for a very long time.
When does Pogba get back from the States? Can't see this happening until he is back.
exactly. they didn't value him enough to get into the fight. if they thought he could be a Neymar caliber player, they'd have joined the chase.
Just think how old Zlatan will be by the time he signs!
Well then would you say Real Madrid dont want him either ?
Exactly, he is borderline world class right now, but still has huge potential! He's only recently turned 23.
I'm assuming you are taling about Suarez and not David Luiz?
Train-wreck?
Top goal scorer in his league.
Was in unbelievable form for his country, until he bit a man (that sounds funny, but it actually did happen).
Then when he returned, he gradually came into brilliant form and finished as one of the most in-form strikers in the World.
I would kill to have a "train wreck" who could score that many goals.
Instead we have 8 league goals in a season, Wayne Rooney.
What do you guys think of the latest Zidane comment on Pogba?
Not loooking good guys

Zidane: "I don't know if Pogba will come. As of now he is Juve's player. I can't talk about what may or may not happen, only the present."27 Jul 2016, 5:08 am

He was a walking timebomb of a disgrace who was suspended for a few months and at risk of missing years if he bit someone again.
It was a fair price imo
Usually when you talk about taking a percentage as a cut you take it from the fee, not add it on. So, if we pay €100m to Juve and Raiola gets a 20% cut, then surely Juve would get €80m and fat cnut €20m? Not €100m to Juve and €20 to chub equalling €120m. I'm not too sure though, just seems to make more sense.
i do. i think they feel their midfield is strong and got them the UCL.
And they think they can wait for Pogba.
Absolutely... Even the Twitter ITK's fit into that mould..Much obliged....I work with my mates dad who drinks with a....just kidding..I know sod all about transfers...should fit in well

Zidane: "But this isn't the time to speak about Pogba. All the clubs would want him & like always, Real Madrid always wants the best."

Zidane: "Pogba is an important player, he's a great player. Real Madrid always wants the best."

Zidane: "Until 31st August, anything can happen (in the transfer window). Today, Pogba is not yet a Real Madrid player."
This. I think Lpool knew they needed to cash in and Barcelona being Barcelona didn't really care about the whole peckish malarkey. They took him on, let him train and serve his ban, then of course reaped the shameful benefits from October 2014 onwards.
