Does anyone think if we never sold Pogda, we'd be in Juventus' position right now, helpless to stop a determined Raiola trying to secure a big payday.

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.
He might have been going to Real Madrid had he stayed but would he be the player he is today?
I said this earlier in the thread that he wouldn't sign till on or after the 6th, only to be pulled up as a doubting Thomas by some Dickhead!! God this thread gives me scratchy Nads!!
No to be honest I think he would have stayed with us till he at least 27 and then moved to Madrid IF he wanted to. Our revenues are £500m this year and thats after a torrid three years. If he was here, I think we would have been more competent and hence we would/could have made more money. As a result, we could still afforded him big wages.
He'd never have developed this much under Moyes and LVG. In fact he probably would have left and we'd never get him back. It had to happen this way.
I can't believe some are still thinking this will fall through at this point, patience people!
I'm surprised not to see more of a meltdown here about Raiola's post on twitter.
If he'd developed in a similar way, yes.
How patient do you want us to be? How long shall we wait, shall we give it, say.. 48 hours?
So....no?
Why? We knew everything wasn't completed. If it was, the club would announce the agreement.
And Jose shows up about 3 times.No, they're worried because they showed madrid at the end of an advert. But ignored the part in the advert where the news was scrolling "blah blah Real Madrid Blah Blah"
Well there was. You missed it yesterday. The naysayers were out in full force.
This is somewhat off topic, but It's not hard to fecking see why Adidas and Pogba are taking the piss out of journos/the media. 99% of them are disgraceful. The Sun claim that Ibra has paid for Pogba's transfer in shirt sales. Could not make this shit up...
"Zlatan Ibrahimovic was not only Jose Mourinho’s first signing as United boss. He was also the man to send shirt sales into the stratosphere, with £76million reportedly made in ONE WEEK.That surely means fans buying the Swedish striker’s top will pay for Pogba’s transfer fee within a fortnight – four years after the France midfielder left United on a free."

I guess it's a 'no'.
Basically he'd be deemed not good enough for either club.
Christ I didnt think the Sun was this bad.
Christ this thread just keeps going. Glad to see Pogba is joining in the fun though.
I can imagine I bet Di Marzio or whatever his name is was getting a bit of a hammering.
TBH I think Pogba will end up at Real at some point, no doubt, if he continues to develop or at least be as good as he is now.
Can't we change the thread title to something more interesting, like | Paul debating conversion and temporarily Blind.
At this point I just want the saga over. Yet I know full well we will hit 1000 pages without a shadow of a doubt.
I'm usually the most cautious and pessimistic transfer muppet going.
But even I think this one's done.
Norwood following him was the clincher for me. Worth remembering he also started following Mkhitaryan about a week before we announced that officially.
I think Pogba will be made official during the second half of this week.

I agree. There again Juventus are refusing to pay his agent what's due and that after handling them a 100m rated midfielder for free
Yeah unnecessarily.
Off work Monday in preparation for a monster two day hangover resulting from a BBQ I'm going to later today.
Hopefully some good news that day will help in easing the pain.
Fabrizio and DiMarzio are well connected but they are part of the journalists pack who want to be the first to break the news and thus make sensationalist claims like "in 48 hours this could be closed" knowing full well most muppets will disregard "could" or "can" so they grab attention but still have a fallback option.
yep, few people on here freaked out and went on a Di marzio rant last 24 hours. However nothing he or his staff has said has been contradicted by Raiola or Pogba. Di Marzio/Staff said the agreement is done and now it moves on to lawyers/printing documents/signatures. Hence it's a "deal done" whilst not officially being a "done deal".
Yes. Some people will blindly refuse to look at the bigger picture here.
If I'm honest I want to see 1k pages almost as much as I want Poggers.
except they were right. When Di Marzio said 48 hours, this was his quote
THEN we found out the agreement was done, and it's moved on to signing.

The fecking muppet went one further then me, I'm going to order my Pogba 6 shirt tomorrow night, he went and got his fecking signed.
Get him on the caf, he's now chief muppeter!
Where is @ChaddyP ?
This is how it has played out
1. MUFC-Juve-Raiola Negotiations over X amount of time
2. Close to Agreements over Juve/MUFC details <-----When Di Marzio said 48hours
3. Agreement over Juve/MUFC/Raiola Details "Done deal"
4. Paperwork/Agreements move to signing phase "not officially done deal" (Raiola's Tweet)
5. Current day
People are confusing the use of done deal to mean everything is done.

Do Juve even need to make an announcement. Surely it would be up to us to announce it if an agreement is reached.
Pogba is loving this, he's a muppet like us.
Pretty much this. Can't understand why other people can't see this.
I think the deal must be done, I saw a "Welcome to Manchester United lad" message posted on a Paul Pogba skills video on youtube. #grabbingatstraws
