I cant take another 2 weeks of this shit!
I think it's a mistake to pay a fee that is actually a fraction of your club's overall value on a midfielder who isn't even the finished article. A fantastic prospect.. but not the finished article. I can tell a lot of people in this thread don't watch him regularly.
As an Arsenal fan, I am aware that United will spend big this summer and have done already. That was obvious when Mourinho took over. If I'm being totally honest, I'd rather you spend all of it on a player like Pogba than on 3 players worth ~40m. Whether you choose to accept that or not is up to you.
FFS just give them what they want and the agent , if there is still a problem after that , feck it sack him off and go for somebody else.
This meltdown is something else, it really is.
Some of you should go out more instead of shitting your pants over a team that hasn't even begun negotiations for a player that we are in advanced negotiations with.

think if Mourinho needs other players after Pogba he will get them.
The fee will not be a limitation. Its just taken so long is all.

The problem is that 40m players are the 10m players of two seasons ago. Look at City - 50m for Stones? United need to start spending their money properly and buying players that are of an elite level. Martial was a good start. He was crazy expensive for a teenager, but worth it. Now we're after Pogba. And we have to do what it takes to complete the deal. There are no three 40m pound players who could have the same influence on the team as Pogba.
You're right, but what that guy has said is probably right too. At the moment it's very likely that we'll sign him - however, if Madrid do enter the picture (and they might, we don't know) then it's likely they'll get him as apparently that's what Pogba would prefer. I'm wondering if we're still waiting simply because Pogba wants to see if Madrid will make an offer. Could be totally wrong though, we could just be taking our time with a deal that is definitely going to happen
What it means is that Real are still interested in the player, based on their manager's comments. But they are not ahead of us until they actually make a bid, or at least prepare one. So relax. Everyone is just going by the same comments that we've read.
Said recently that my belief is Pogba would prefer to join Madrid, and as long as the market is open, and Real are still 'interested', Pogba will not be in a rush to sign for us. All the 'they won't pay' etc - if they are telling him they are interested, that will probably be enough to stall and see. After all, worse case is he stays at Juve, which he apparently doesn't mind.
So don't visit this thread then! Sorry mate but I'm getting tired of people carrying on about nothing's done until XYZ. If that's the case then why do you torture yourself by coming in here? Let us muppets muppet.
@Damien i would like to propose a poll change to where Pogba will end up next season (Madrid, United, or stay at Juventus)
Just to get a perspective on what most United fans are thinking.

If Real already tried to lure Pogba but he said no as he had already given us a promise to sign, then what's changed? Genuine question, as keeping up with this football version of a bad Eastenders storyline is difficult.
Then Mkhitaryan is worth what? 7.5m?
I disagree with your post completely. There are very, very few teams that don't understand the value of money in world football right now. Pretty much United and City are the only two. But even City haven't actually pulled the trigger on any ridiculous transfer fees so far - it's all just been speculation.
The Higuain to Juventus move shouldn't be quoted because
a) they are going to get a huge fee to subsidise the price from United.
b) they are directly weakening their biggest rival in the league and all but guaranteeing domestic dominance for the next 3 years in a transitional period where they have lost Pirlo, will lose Pogba etc..
Of course you would rather us spend it all on 3 good players rather than a top class player. It instantly improves our team, your rival.
We've not put a dent in the amount of money we could potentially afford to spend this summer.
We need a top class midfielder, who can come in and instantly make a huge improvement - this has been the case for the best part of a decade.
One is available. We can afford to break the world record fee. It makes sense to do so, for United.
20 pages since noon, with no uptdates or anything new of note at all. Thread needs locked now.
There's no doubt in my mind this is what has happened. I'd be willing to wager that he is stalling to see if Real actually act upon their interest. I have no doubt, though, that United will fire the extra 10/20m at the agent and Pogba himself to seal this deal under pressure from Real.
Don't be surprised to see Raiola talk up the Madrid interest to milk United.
(It's easy to see these transfers for what they are when you aren't emotionally invested in it. It seems that the sense has completely drained from this thread; and it was very limited to begin with.)
Juve might though, after spending €100m on Higuaín.
Looks like nothing much is happening of late but I admire the muppets dedication until the very end...
Do people want a transfer to be interesting? the more boring, the better for us. It becomes interesting if Real, actually come into the fold
The thread is really boring to follow, the heavy moderation imposed seems to be playing it part, the Thiago and Berbetov threads, for example, were some much more entertaining. However its funny watching people slowly convince themselves and losing their minds that hes going to Real..
That's there problem. He has a contract, they can't force him to go anywhere.
You're talking as if we beg for money from our cash rich oil owners and spend big. This is the money we EARNED. We are one of the few teams in world football who are actually capable of doing that. Dont compare us to City. And City havent spent big? The feck have you been the past few years? Mangala - 36m, Otamendi - 40m, Sterling - 50m, KVD - 50m. Now Sane - 42m and looks it Stones - 50m. You're right they dont blow it all on one player but they spend more than any club in world football right now.
140m EUR isn't a dent in the amount of money you can spend?
Again, sorry, but I can tell you don't watch a lot of Paul Pogba.
He lives in America and sounds like a gypsy from the movie Snatch. Can't understand why he has so many followers, he is a chancer.
Point is that Mkhi is a huge risk. He looks good but might not be great. He was in the last year of his contract and STILL cost 30m. Now try to find any three players in the world who could have the influence of Paul Pogba.
This whole "no tweets from knobs" rule seems to be ignored for the most part.
The Richard Marrow account's a fake, according to the Summer Tweets thread.
580 followers?
I only posted it because someone posted it in the transfer tweets thread.
Oh I'm totally serious.
True but they can exert some pressure to make up his mind one way or another. And on Madrid, too, not just Pogba himself.
So the next time you see someone take a shit on their car will you do the same to yours?

Messi, Ronaldo, Alexis Sanchez, Hazard, Bale, Neymar, Marco Verratti, Gonzalo Higuain, Luis Suarez, Sergio Aguero, Kevin De Bruyne. There's so many more I couldn't even be bothered continuing.
We chose the players our manager wanted and the agent chose us because we offered great conditions. We looked out for our interests, Raiola looked out for his and his clients.
There are rumors that Jose always prefers to work with just one agent, but don't think that Raiola does us any favors. We are a cash cow for him, that's why he is so intent on landing his clients here. If Real offers 150 million, Pogba will join them, no doubt about it.
Here in France and the radio ( god knows what station ) are basically saying that Pogba to United is done and were talking about how we'll line up with him and Zlatan and Martial.
I was coming from the angle of the fans and scaredy cats in this thread. The way they act is as if Madrid have been beating us to targets forever.
I guess. Ultimately, he will do what he wants though. Juventus should have sold him before buying Higuain if they couldn't afford it. I'm sure they can though, and have other saleable assets anyway.
