Flip, this made me laugh out loud.

Seven can't see Pogba making it into our central midfield. (not sure if serious)

Is Souness aware that Suarez is a forward and Pogba is a midfielder.

Sure, but why should he let that get in the way of an opportunity to criticise?

Don't even know why we were so determined to hold on to De Gea. He's never even scored more than 10 in a season.
 
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.

We might be paying in Euros but Brits and the British media are always going to talk about figures in pounds. I agree it's probably bullshit but the fee will likely be paid in instalments, however many years we pay it over doesn't make much of a difference though.
 
So what happens to the Raiola fee now? Is Juve paying it? Seems a bit odd that they would sell for €105m now after all the rumors about €120m or even €145m.

€105m minus the agent fee leaves them with * 0.70 = €73.5m.

Juve receive £89mil and Raiola's commission is separate.
 
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.
I fecking love haters, it motivates me more because I know I'm doing something right

fecking bitter scouse cnut :lol:
 
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.

Have I missed something?

€5M of the €110M is bonus if either of the two things happen:
  1. He signs a new contract in next five seasons
  2. He is sold for a fee of over 50M
The three part installment comes from the remaining €105M - €35M each year.

I guess they assume a world record fee directly correlates to how many goals they expected to score.

Funny, I don't remember them giving a feck when it was Bale going to Madrid for stupid money.

Of course Souess would go crazy if Pogba was going to Liverpool.
 
I have a strong suspicion that when we make the formal announcement, we'll also announce the transfer fee.
 
How long does a medical take?
Does he have to run a marathon, then triathlon before climbing the Kilimanjaro while carrying his agent?

Aren't we normally told when players pass the medical?
Takes forever this...!

Nonsense, agreements will have be signed before medical.

Neither can I, too be fair. What with Scholes coming out of retirement :devil:
 
If you read my post you would know!

People saying £30M per season for a €110M fee, it makes no sense.

It's probably rounded figures. The final includes addons too apparently. Something about if he signs a new contract or if he's sold for over €50m Juve gets an additional €5m.

So around 35m every season sounds about right, no?
 
All this talk about medicals today - I wouldn't want to be the doctor telling Jose that I wouldn't sign off on the Pogba deal because I didn't like the look of his elbow :lol:
 
23 year old Paul Scholes was scoring about 10 goals a season ('97/98)
23 year old Keane scoring about 6 goals a season (95/96)
23 year old Gerrard scoring about 7 goals a season ('03/04)
23 year old Lampard scoring about 8 goals a season ('01/02)

Obviously goals don't tell the whole story, and I think Keane, Scholes & Gerrard were more influential at the time than, Lampard was and Pogba is currently.

But Pogba is certainly on a similar level to them at the same age, with a similar amount of potential to those calibre of players too.
I'd expect him to score a similar amount of goals too, somewhere in the region of 6-10 with a similar amount of assists.

In fairness he is not wrong. I really do think Pogba is overrated but potentially worth the fee.

Maybe part of the medical is to try and avoid Jones on the training pitch.....

That makes sense then, thanks.

So, in fact the fee keeps on coming down (as the £/€ exchange rate becomes less favorable :mad:). Can you imagine, if the £ strengthens again against the €, to 1.40 say, the papers will inflate the fee to €125M, and then quote it in £.
 
I think he's making a point that the comparisons being made in this thread are borderline racist by making a ridiculous comparison like that.

At least I hope so.
How on earth is it racist to compare Pogba's mum to Whoopi Goldberg and other different people, but saying her driver looks like David Gill isn't racist?

Think our accounts are done in Dollars these days, as we are on NYSE. Its USD vs Euro that ya need to keep an eye on.

Yes but he can fail a medical on purpose. You just hold your leg or start limping on the treadmill.

The agreements will be 'subject to medical' and I for one wouldn't put it past him
