Do you want Pogba for £100 million?

You do realise that the best possible excuse that could be made for you here with these last three posts is that you're trolling and being incredibly unfunny in doing so? Every other possible interpretation actually casts you in a far worse light - especially in terms of the extent of your intellect. So, yes, congratulations on that one.



Edit: Oh, and yes, you're incredibly realistic.

Just not getting too carried away, yet!

Look I want this to happen more than any other transfer saga, but it could all change yet.

These things have happened.
 
I don't know whats worse the doubters on here or the guy posting old betting affiliate links on the juventuz forum for a betting market that has been suspended to prove Pogba is staying.
 
For pure footballing reasons I 100% agree with you.
However, this lad is unique from our perspective for two key reasons:
1. He is a potentially world class player in a position we are desperate for (i.e. footballing perspective)
2. He is one, if not, the most marketable players now and in the future. You know all those sponsorships from noodles to adidas? They all depend on such players.

So for 1 above, what would be realistic? 60-70m Euros (I have no real basis for this)? So we roughly paying an extra 45 million euros to secure one of the most marketable players in the world. Seems fair to me.
Not doubting his potential. Just the fact that we so much bothers me

Don't read too much into this whole Pogba signs United shirt guys..
It's all happened before and I think history will repeat itself with this saga..
 
He's clearly coming to United, it's pretty much done. Every outlet is saying so!

I get that. I really do.

But I'm just not getting carried away until he is signed because Perez might turn round and match our offer.

That's not negative but this is football and anything can happen.

Signing a specific Pogba 6 shirt is different though. And especially on a one to one basis, rather than amongst a crowd.

I'm with you at this stage. I'm one of the biggest muppets around but I just can't bring myself to act like it's done before we have confirmation. Same way I don't celebrate a win until the final whistle even if we're 3-0 up. The twat I'd look if the worst happened just isn't worth thinking about :lol:
 
Now Nerozzi has suggested Dybala is being offered pogba's No.10, i wonder if that is why pogba is the "netural" character in the adidas ad? There was so much confusion about his destination when shooting started that it was just better to make him the neutral?

Yes but there were genuine concerns with Vidals fitness. I'm sure we WERE interested in him. Vidal would have had no problem going to United. He pretty much said as much.

If you think history will repeat itself then you have your head firmly buried in the sand.
 
What's so marketable about Pogba. I keep hearing this.
You only become marketable by winning accolades and trophies
He isn't as marketable as Neymar and Messi. You can also throw in Bale, Ronaldo, Hazard, Suarez etc...
Indeed Neymar, Messi and Ronaldo are more marketable at the moment, although you also have to consider the future.

Just like with footballing terms when we paid so much for Martial, most of the value out of these deals will come from their potential ability, both on and off the pitch.

Football is becoming more popular by the day. Pogba and Neymar will be more marketable in five years time, when Ronaldo will be 36 and Messi 34.

He's signed a United shirt, he's in a United/Adidas advert, all the most reliable journos are saying it's only a matter of time before it's announced! Allow your muppet self to know he's coming ;)

Exactly my point.

I forget what being 3-0 up even feels like.
 
What's funny? Is it done? No.

See Willian and Tottenham, it can happen.

Yes, it is. United are not going to announce it when the boy is in America on his holiday. They would want to announce it with pics of him in the shirt/MUTV interviews and the whole fanfare. It's hilarious that there still are sceptics!

You are not being realistic if you expect Zidane to say anything new. By the sound of things, Zidane wouldn't mind the player but Madrid are in the same position they were last week and the week before...Adidas keep doing these ads, logically could we have announced the deal before they showed them? No. They'd be pointless. We're watching a 'show'...

Well that's not true, is it? Pogba's young and stylish, that's marketable in his own right. So many kids will be copying his style.

He's Adidas' main man pretty much, and they're a huge brand.

This.

I wish I could but I don't want to get too carried away.

Zidane was also in that video btw.

IMO Pogba was expected to play the Pjanic part in the Juventus ad (the beginning and ending) but since there're doubts about his future they might cut him out replaced him Pjanic.
 
It's the full amount that matters. I'm fully aware we have very high revenues, I just dont agree with paying 110m

Not financially speaking, got to see the big picture. It's about time we flexed our financial muscle, or else Pogba would be wearing a white shirt now.
 
What's funny? Is it done? No.

See Willian and Tottenham, it can happen.


Willian was £30million. Pogba's fee makes him unobtainable. The only suggestion that Pogba prefers Real Madrid is from Marca and AS. They have been soooo bad this summer, I would be reluctant to accept them as a source.

He is coming to United, I know it, you know it, but your glass is just far too empty.

He is much more marketable than bale and hazard.

He just looks like and is a superstar.
 
For all the people who are worried or claim it's not done what are we doing to sign another midfielder as it was clearly stated by Jose we needed one and he wasn't going to leave it late into the transfer window.

Was he lying, is he just holding out on a whim that we might get Pogba and taking a huge gamble, has he suddenly seen a world class midfielder in training which we have not noticed over the past 3 years!

Is he waiting for someones release clause to expire then bidding more for them?

Has Raiola decided you know what i'll bring two high profile clients to United then take the piss out of them for the third player in the media?
 
Yes but there were genuine concerns with Vidals fitness. I'm sure we WERE interested in him. Vidal would have had no problem going to United. He pretty much said as much.

I know that there were major concerns about Vidals fitness, however, several newsoutlets wre telling he's close to joining us etc. and it never happened.
So I really don't believe that the media knows what's going on. What we do know from different interviws and tweets (Allegri, Mou, Raiola, Moratta) is that we're interested and negotiations are under way - but nothing is agreed yet.

I really hope that this will happen but I don't base my mind on any media report tbh..

If you don't care about media reports you may as well stay out of the thread until it's officially confirmed. Otherwise the discussion you're having is pointless, because no one can change your mind and you can't change the mind of those who believe he's joining United.
 
What difference does it make?!

Christ.

I'm not trying to wind anyone up.

But if he repeats they are still interested then there is still a chance they might get involved.

If our deal is done as everyone keeps telling me it is, then he wouldn't even comment on it would he?

Let's wait and see, hopefully he says nothing.

None of that is a compelling argument.
