The whole reason they got Benzema was because they failed to sign David Villa the week before. We were in line to sign Benzema to replace Ronaldo.

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.
You're saying that based on what?
I agree, I would have rather have bought Sanches. He's much better value for money. He's also younger and looks as good as Pogba (admittedly, from my limited viewing of him)
1. How was it easy to see Madrid coming back in? Infact reports said that United were the only club who could afford him.
2. You have no way of knowing if we have been sitting on our ass. Reports say we have put in an offer worth 92m (a world record fee, if true). Raiola's fee has been the stumbling block. Maybe we just decided not to go beyond a certain value?
If this doesn't go through, the muppets will never recover!
OK it's fake but it made me laugh
edit: wtf?

They'll quickly come to a solution with Juve as they have assets that Juve are actually interested in (players). They don't feck about like we do.
Never been so indifferent to a big transfer before. Don't care if it doesn't go through at all.
No I haven't, why would I have seen it. You actually believe all bullshit journalists on Twitter though? They've spouted utter crap for weeks and weeks and weeks.
There's a bit difference, DDG was a United player but Pogba is going to be sold anyways so he has to decide.
'Mourinho getting fed up with Pogba saga, believes Madrid have thrown their hat in.'
Now the above is a good piece of news because Mourinho is trying to end this saga by forcing the issue - take it or leave it Juventus. Now that they have spent lots of cash on Higuain they definitely need to sell Pogba.
Real could come in and get Pogba themselves - so what?? If he wants Real than he can go there but we'll not be held to ransom by Pogba and his agent!
Don't worry - we'll use the 120 Million and get 3 good players.

How can our club not know Madrid were not in for him if nearly every fan on this forum could easily see that for themselves. The pressure of Madrid should have swooped us to concluding a deal sooner, even if we would have payed more than we initially thought. Now we are stuck in a situation where Madrid can firmly come in because we haven't acted quick enough.
Personally I think the deal will be done by the end of the week but this type of stuff happens and our club should've known that.
You mean like how they took an entire summer to sign Bale, or how they took an entire summer to try and sign De Gea and ended up missing out because of it? Nah, they dont feck about at all.
IMO, paying that much for Pogba is a mistake. A mistake I'm surprised United are willing to make and a mistake I'd be very surprised to see Real make aswell.
I still think he's United bound.. the agent is just doing what he does best - milking the club.

This is a strange transfer. It seems like everything has been in place for it to happen but for whatever reason it hasn't.
He's the perfect player for us but if this doesn't get done in the next few days we need to move on to another target. The season starts soon enough and I do feel it's an area we have to sort out if we want to challenge for the title.

Its basically a win win situation for us. If we sign Pogba then we sign Pogba. If we don't we save about £100m and invest it on other players. We win either way.
Breath guys we are still in front, nothing has changed.
The problem is here with all these ITK, people have now started to turn against them staying they don't know jack BUT when the next transfer saga begins they will be quoting the same ITKs and have there cocks out! Until any deal is either tweeted by the official Utd account or on the official website I don't believe anything I read
I don't think respect is lost/gained that easily regarding transfers.
But if it is, United lost respect a while ago, never mind now.
Nope. I don't like him and think we are paying way over the odds.
Funny thing is,Juve wanting theirs 120 mil. clean,making things hard,forcing us to pay up 140 mil plus.
If Real Madrid gets in the ring,they can say goodbye to that,not saying we are angels but compared with some other clubs,we sure look like. They will go so up to Pogba`s head that words like "slave" etc will pop up,they might even use moves from their rivals,where forcing their home kit on Pogba as a "joke" and so on. Wouldnt be surprised if RM bends over Juventus and at the end "The old lady" will think how RM did them a favour.

ehsanul and his cult of "Fear Madrid" will be along shortly after the shite talker de brun tweet
There are countless reasons why a transfer deal the size of 100+ million Euros involving one of the biggest stars in football who also happens to be still on holiday might 'not be agreed yet'.
It's hilarious how fans deduce a fantasy temporal condensing plot from random news reports which may be accurate, or up to date, to varying degrees, and then get captivated by their own fantasy timeline to conjure up sentiments like "this is taking too long", "should have been done weeks age, what the hell?!"
How on earth would you know how long such a deal is supposed to take?!
I've changed my vote to don't want. Far too much fooking around now, sign or piss off already 
Was going to question your logic behind this post, but then glanced under the username and saw the 'Supports'
No it aint different. DDG is a United player who wants to go to Madrid and Pogba is a Juventus player who wants to go to Madrid. They both are not adamant on leaving but if they leave and go to Madrid they wont object at all. How is it different?
Pogba rooming with 20 other blokes
I really don't know why people keep posting his tweets. He knows no more than you or me. He was banned last year because we got fed up with his bs
This is just so long. fecking hope it ends one way or another soon. Heard nothing but Pogba for weeks now.
Agree to this. We should not let Juventus and Raiola bully us into paying 25m extra on top of a world record fee. We will definitely invest the money in other areas. With this money, I think we could get Matuidi, Fabinho and Koulibaly(or Mustafi).
People keep talking about the size of the transfer fee being a problem as it will be so complicated, but it hasn't stopped Juve getting Higuan in a matter of days and his fee is nearly as much.
I don't think he really knows. It looks almost certain that Madrid are now involved so things have already changed.
Do explain?
It's hardly absolutely certain and if it was the Spanish papers would be all over it a lot more than they currently are.
Arsenal fan?
Not wanting your direct rival to sign one of the biggest talents and best midfielders in the world?
Thought it was pretty simple.
I think this Pogba to United saga will be over one way or another in 2 weeks.
And how exactly do you know they are involved for certain?
Exactly this. He lives in America, How is he going to know what Mourinho is thinking?
Well he's part of Di Marzios team who are most up to date on this stuff so I think he knows the current situation more than anyone here.
It's the same percentage of revenue we spent on Ferdinand (20%) and Keane was like 16%. Did you think they were mistakes too at the time?
Means absolutely nothing to me..
With his "things can change quickly" he manages to say something by don't saying something. If Madrid signs him tomorrow for example he can refer to his "As I've said things can change quickly" if we sign him he can say "I've always said United are in front".
On the other hand I could clearly see Mou getting boring of this adjourned game as he's always said that he wants to sort out things ASAP. He might hs set Woody a deadline after which he will pursue one of his "other options".
