If it's 5 years in the future after another record fee by which time we'd have gotten back to the top, that wouldn't be so bad.

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.
Sorry I mean Hector Herrera. We're linked with him.
There really aren't any facts until United/Juventus/Pogba publicly say something definitive. Everything else, spare a few posts from respected journos, is made up.
Hmmm. Not sure about that to be honest. It's actually the folk constantly wittering on about him going to Madrid that have been the annoying ones. Especially since (up until maybe today) there's been absolutely no basis for saying so.
That was a bit harsh, I think most people took it in jest?
Ah, right. Fair do's.
Incredible how you make it sound like you want Madrid to do us over. Stop acting so small time
All wums are in jest. The rules were clearly posted in the thread title for the longest time. There will be no mercy.
He will return once his temp ban expires.
Oh how things change through time.
If Real get Pogba we should try to poach Modric or Verratti, Dont think PSG would turn down 100m
Believe me i don't, but i would take a tiny bit of comfort in seeing some people have to eat some pretty big crow.
They don't need $100 million.
What makes you say that out of interest? I honestly don't think he'd move for £200 million
yeah, we have been on and off bringing this Nerozzi story up for about 6 hours now.
This hilarious thing is that one of the biggest media developments of the saga (claim the deal is now done and fees sorted) has completely been dwarfed by people shitting themselves because "zidane likes pogba". Truly incredible. 
This has dragged on far too long. He's off to Madrid.
PSG definitely would snap our hand off if we offered them 100m for Modric. In fact, they would likely take anything we offer.
La Stampa say done deal, yet all you see in here is "Madrid, Madrid, Madrid". Jesus christ guys, get a grip.
I just hope Madrid weasal out of paying the agent fee if they get him.
No they don't, when those lists come out of 'richest clubs' it's more defining a club's worth through assets and commercial viability than the money they have at hand. We have more money to spend than any other club in Europe
Personally I find it more annoying seeming people say 'he's Madrid bound' or 'just wants to go to madrid'. It's fine to recognise them as an elite club and even say they have a bigger pull, but it's still ridiculous to think that Pogba wouldn't be interested in an equally elite club in Utd, where we can offer more money right now and a world class manager. I have to say in terms of the deal I was more confident the other day, however, I still think this is pretty much a done deal for us and can't see Madrid getting him this time just because he's a lesser priority.
Forget all the so called Madrid antics, Pogba himself seems to be waiting for a Madrid bid if the various reports are to be believed
IF....IF....IF...how can you forget something if you are so willing to IGNORE the fact you just said IF.....lol. I'm pretty sure we'll hear something soon. People leave your bias, paranoia out of these fecking thread.
What reports?
Yep, that makes 3 of the top Italian sports papers, but Zidane says a few words and we have a dozen pages of dread.
first stage - denial - in full force
Exactly my point since if that was the case do you not think Marca and AS would have made so much more of it? Sky is the only outlet who have put that slant on it. Nobody else not even Marca or AS who are Madrid mouthpieces. Come on man.
Everything saying "he prefers spain" COMES FROM SPAIN how is this so hard to understand? It's absolutely ridiculous how people are just putting 2+2 together and getting 5. It's a never ending circle of people reading twitter and fearing the worst without actually knowing the facts. I am getting so bored of this thread now.
@Raoul It should be locked pending further info IMO. Perhaps update the title with "medical cancelled is fake / Italian Media say deal agreed".
there's no indication of that, let alone "obvious" that he wants madrid. some serious inferiority complex from our fans.
Or maybe a the first post in this thread should have a summary of latest developments since the thread title is not being updated anymore
I tell you what I'm no phycologist but this thread provides a real outlook into the positive (optimistic) and negative (pessimistic) views that different people can see. The actual reports an media murmurings have been far more encouraging in the suggestion that Utd sign Pogba than Madrid, yet to many they can't see past the few contrasting peices. Some more critical thinking is probably needed for some but I guess that all gets lost when the muppets flock.
All wums are in jest. The rules were clearly posted in the thread title for the longest time. There will be no mercy.
At the risk of going over old ground I assume mercy was indeed shown to Spoony after his own WUM a week or two back? I understand this is the way things are with him being such old-timer here but just wanted to clarify.
Probably because lequipe said a week ago that the deal was done but that didn't turn out to be true as such. People will now only believe: Di Marzio, BBC and or the club itself (in that order).
The only media who have reported this are Spanish. AS, Marca, Ballbag etc. None of the Italian media has said this at all and they've had plenty opportunity to do so.
Handing out £20m is a lot harder than handing out £5m or even £10m. It's like doing overtime. Yes you pick up more but it does your head when you see how much is going to the taxman. It makes you reluctant to do the overtime just to fund the taxman.
I think post Pogba and Raiola pool gate, Shortsgate, we are at the schniederlen transfer stage, where all is agreed, medical will be done secretly and this time we are going to do a galactico presentation
By the way, I wanted to ask everybody - did we manage to interpret what the pic posted by Pogba (where he and Riola were enjoying in a pool) meant? He also said something like "saying a lot by saying nothing" or something of the sort.
Of those who TFM is following, Pogba is the only footballer who isnt a United-player or Dutch/playing in Netherlands (bar Rafael).
Safe to say Pogba is done, even if we dont bother about who is following who on Twitter.
Just tuning in today and all I see in this thread is Madrid this and Madrid that. Are people seriously making up that he's off to Madrid after every outlet reports that Pogba to United is almost done?
Can someone please explain to me that irrational Madridophobia?
