Do you want Pogba for £100 million?

So L'Equipe still maintains its credibility status. They called this early a week ago and they were right again.

110mil is a lot of money, but this is a still a huge coup. We finished 5th last season, are not in CL, and we've just signed arguably the top and most marketable player from the currently very dominant Italian champions. It's a crazy signing, but kudos to Ed for making life exciting.

I'd have to say through all this, Pogba seemed genuinely keen to return to United, regardless of whether Madrid were really in the picture. It's not as though he spent his whole life here, and he didn't leave on the best terms either. Sure the astronomical salary offered does not hurt of course, but he still had many similarly lucrative options.

110mil pounds or euros?

They didnt really fight back. Honestly the fans dont care about this appeasement. If they had sold Pogba the day before they signed Higuain, they cant and wont do anything about it. What are they going to start a riot if their club had to sell one player to get another?
 
I hope Pogba plays 4 Man Utd soon xx

I think most aspects of the deal were done ages ago: Pog wanting to join us, us wanting to buy him at the asking price, Juventus willing to sell him.

The only sticking point was who would pay Raiola and that seems to have been sorted only now

the narrative shown by the papers makes it seem like we caved and payed, I read and saw the sentiment of many Juve fans on the forums and twitter, it's a stark contrast between the initial stages and now. they probably also needed time to get in targets. and you speak about if they would riot. of course they could riot, have you never seen fans take to the streets in revolt? its plausible is all I'm saying

Rioting because their team cant afford to buy one player without selling a player? Thats ridiculous.
 
Also they got their main target in Pjanic. They are going after Witsel by the looks of it. So their target is set and have plenty of time and money to get him.

I actually do think there's been a bit of posturing here. Not just about fighting back, but also showing that they have the financial muscle to buy Higuain without selling Pogba. To be honest, I doubt that they'd have splashed out on Higuain without our money for Pogba already pretty much on the table. Not saying they can't afford, but I think it might have been stretching them more than they would like.

Just checking back in, think this thread has grown by at least 150 pages since I was last here! I have just seen his latest Instagram post which I am sure you have all gone wild about God knows how many pages back.. But after seeing that he is 100% coming here! :devil:

De Gea
Shaw
Mkhi
Ibra
Pogba
Martial

That's some real world class players right there. Let's hope those around them can continue to step up.

No way Shaw and Martial are world class players... Potential is there and they could be in future but definitely not at the moment.
 
Just seen that Instagram picture :lol:

He's loving this, the mad bastard.
 
I hope this transfer happens. We had been overpaying for mediocre talent a lot. The type of talent who we pay 30m are also bought by other clubs for 10-20m. Hence the quality of our squad are not much better than the rivals. With the new TV money every team in the league will have full internationals for every position and ability to be competitive. If we are to pay over the top for top talents then so be it. Our rivals cannot compete with a quality like that on their own. That can set us apart. After all the point of the club earning most in the world should be useful for the club not just for boasting fans to be proud about it.

United have lodged a fresh offer of around €110m with €10m in add-ons (equivalent to £100m in total) and Juventus are also insisting on a future payment of around €5m if Pogba extends his contract with José Mourinho’s side.

With the deal now in place, United are in advanced talks with Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola about his €20m fee

Agreed. The fee is ridiculous, but we seemingly can afford it. The worst thing we can do is buy players who won't improve the team. The 3 signings we've made so far are upgrades on what we already have.

When we end up signing Fellaini, or Blind, or Darmian, we are not significantly improving the starting XI, and you can only play eleven players at a time.

I do worry that it sets a new precedent though, much like the Ronaldo transfer did, where the ceiling has been broken and every player is now worth these thing of fees.
 
I expect more outs now than in's

We could possibly sign a RB although not urgent for me with Darmian, Valencia, Forsu- Mensah all able

I would like to see another CB though. Think we are short in terms of quality there (not numbers)
 
Whoa!!! 40 pages after I last read. One would think something big has happened in last 10 hours.
