Yeah I know but the league in Italy is dead so for Pogba to stand out, he would have to rely mostly on European Competition. Be under no illusion - if he wanted to go to Spain, they would have made it happen. Look at how we've potentially structured the deal. Did no one suggest that to Madrid? But Madrid have won 2 of the last 3 (if memory serves) CL's so there was an obvious pull - especially with Zidane currently in charge. I wouldn't worry about them. He's got family here, friends here for starters. If we climb back to the top, why would he leave? If he wanted to crack the American market, he could do that at United. I think really it depends on ourselves. We have to be back challenging. Our future is to be written but it's looking healthier then it has. Madrid, are at a peak. Where do they go from here? Will Zidane be able to repeat last season? Time will tell. We have a better relationship with his agent - which Madrid don't have and the money we would screw out of them clubs......I'm not sure they'd meet our demands. We have a lot going for us.
There was that 'rumor' only hearsay - that he would return and it would make sense, especially with his family in the UK. That is a strong pull. Playing for Madrid or seeing your mother more often? He might prefer the latter and it doesn't seem she's got a desire to move to Spain. 3/4 years is a long time.....I think we can all breath anyhow

On the Juve Forum they are still having hissy fits about him being on the Juve main website.
Never done that before - I'm hooked!
Europa League payments are in Euros
Good. At least we're assured of that 350 euros.
Raiola's entitled to 20% of the transfer fee not 30.I imagine he may also have agreed to a lower fee.United and Juve may be sharing the fee.
Is there a bigger bellend that Souness?
Former Newcastle and Liverpool manager Graeme Souness said: "I think you can be kidded by Pogba because when he moves he's like a Rolls Royce, but I've never seen him get hold of a game and dominate.
"I don't see him changing that many games. It's not like they've bought a Luis Suarez who will get you 50 goals a season."
50 in Spain yes in what is effectively a two/three horse race.
The bitterness is something else.

Yesterday we were following the wrong plane
Where did this €30M/year suddenly surface from and get taken as fact?
If the fee is €110M, then €30M a year for 3 years must mean we're getting a discount.
If people are going to spout bollocks, can they at least provide a source for the bollocks, so we can at least decide whether or not it may or not be, in fact, bollocks?

No fecking way.
He didn't suddenly start scoring in La Liga, his return in first Barcelona season was lower than his final two seasons at Liverpool.
Pogba has the ability to influence games for United even more than Suarez does for Barcelona though. Silly talk by Souness. We've already witnessed what a strong combative midfielder can do for you when Toure won trophies for City, and Pogba will be far better than Toure ever was.
Souness really is hurting. Why is he comparing a central midfielder to a striker like Suarez? Players like Pogba aren't in the team to score fifty goals per season; that isn't his job.
Should we expect an MUTV interview tonight?
Probably just a mistake over pounds and euros, £89m would be roughly £30m a season for 3 years.
Almost as if Souness doesnt think a huge chunk of our success was directly attributable to Roy Keane or to Scholes. Because they sure as shit were not banging in 50 goals a season.
How much would a 23 year old Paul Scholes go for in todays transfer market? Keane, Gerrard or Lampard for that matter?
Don't think this will be announced today, for that money the medical will probably be as thorough as it can be. Blood tests and scans can take a day to analyse etc.

To be fair Suarez scored 31 in 33 games in the league in England. Would have scored more if Liverpool were in Europe.
To be fair a lot of people on this forum were saying we shouldn't pay so much because he's not Messi or Ronaldo. I don't understand it really. The best teams have the best players in every position, not a load of donkeys in defence and midfield with Messi or Ronaldo up front.
Rumours suggest he'll officially be unveiled tomorrow to the press, so I'd hazard a guess that we'd expect it then.
Makes sense, dominate the media cycle for a longer period of time - make the absolute most of the biggest transfer in history from a public relations viewpoint.
I dont really mind Souness, but what he is saying is ridiculous. Zidane wont get 50 goals, yet in todays market would be 150m+.
That said, Pogba, imo is capable of producing Lampard type numbers
On the Juve Forum they are still having hissy fits about him being on the Juve main website.
I love those guys over at Juventuz, they have really made this whole saga especially enjoyable for me
That's an extra
United like a full day of media.
I suspect we will see an early morning announcement, some twitter crap, written quotes, then an MUTV interview at 12, exclusive online video at 2, bla bla bla
Would be surprised to see an evening announcement today

It's really cringeworthy. Is that why some were calling this thread amazing/legendary?

Didn't he play on the wing first season, then swap with Messi since?
Can't believe this is really happening.
You’d think so, yeah. Can imagine a milking of epic proportions by United.
But we're not buying him in £, we're buying in €, €110M. So are we going to pay €36.6666M per year?
Again, it's just spouting bollocks without any attempt at a source, it doesn't even make sense.
True, and not even a world record transfer will turn a centre mid into a fifty goal man. Forwards usually attract the biggest fees of course, but that doesn't always have to be the case: we broke the British record to sign Rio. I hope Gary Neville winds up Souness something rotten.
Caf should really have someone inside Carrington if we're that much of the forum, enough with the circus like sky, bbc, some italian spaghetti guy etc., we deserve to know everything in advance!
Is Souness aware that Suarez is a forward and Pogba is a midfielder.
Which prominent Caf Poster deserves the honour of being our inside man?
This is getting ridiculous now the medicals they have to be a pub landlord take like 20 mins tops. Appreciated, for a footballer it's probably 3-4* that but this is seriously unnecessary.
I think they're just trying to wiggle and get even more money out of us by threatening to pull the plug on the whole thing after we've already announced a medical and Mourinho has said how amazing it will be. Slimy as feck.

I'm sure I read that we hold cash in dollars, euros and sterling so we are well placed whatever.
Are all those traders football fans or what? Funny.
This has come from tweets this morning that said it would be payed over 3 season.
Why doesn't it make sense out of interest?
That sort of critical thinking seems to have eluded him.
Souness'll say some things that start to make me believe he's a good pundit then comes out with tripe like this. He's odd.
I actually like Souness but I think you have to take any opinion with a pinch of salt, I think even United pundits you have to strip the bias from.
There's only one time Souness I didn't like what he said, I believe it was 2008 Moscow he said "I was talking to SAF around the time Sven was set to replace him, I said you'd be mad to retire", he then added "I'm not saying it was a result of what I said why he stayed on as United manager".
It came across as he told SAF to continue, although he covered his tracks almost immediately, I think a lot of the time hindsight is a wonderful thing and nothing in football is fixed in stone. Only time will tell what happens with Pogba.
I think what pundits don't state with people like midfielders is, a midfielder runs a game. A midfield is where a game is won. forget Goals, look at what Scholes did.
