They also had the most cringe worthy manager q and a outdoors too. They also thunk Pogba is massively overpriced at 90m but stones is worth 50. Otamendi mangala and stones 130m? OutrageousMade me smile:-

There's not a lot between them. Ibra is old but he's still gonna score bucket loads. Pogba Mikhitaryan and Martial is as good as Silva KDB and Nolito/Sane. Mikhitaryan alone is very very under rated. feck it I'm just probably too scared can't even sleep![]()
This summer got off to a good start, with the early arrivals of Gundogan and Nolito, but a disastrous commercial venture in China (admittedly a Soriano idea) has left our squad unprepared for the first few games of the season and we're facing the prospect of starting the season with Fernando and Kolarov (two players who should be nowhere near a Pep Guardiola team) as our CBs. We didn't go out and buy a defender early on in the window when it was clearly an area of serious concern. Instead we're haggling over £4-5m for Stones when just two years ago we were throwing upwards of £40m at Porto for Mangala.
And now the most sought after player in world football has gone to our greatest rivals when we could have signed him last summer for considerably less than the world record fee. Yes, big deals are complicated, but players like Pogba are worth the hassle to acquire. Instead, we moved too late in that particular and now face losing out on the Premier League title because we didn't act first. That is down to Txiki Begiristain.
Some rags lurking in this thread. Can sniff em' a mile off.
I'm genuinely over the moon we didn't sign this fecking showman. His whole first never follows shite, combined with his agent and this rap shite has been nauseating, thank feck Pep pulled the plug.
I laughed at his one, tbf:This isn't the real world tho. If he wants to be the best in the world, and win the lot, he's chosen the wrong place imo. It just shows a lack of ambition, and a guy totally led by his agent. He's not 'come home'. He'll be off again within 3 years. Sooner if it all goes to shit (which we hope)
Much as I hate to say it, congratulations to Ashley Young on getting a bronze medal with Tom Daley in the synchronised diving. Well deserved!
He's right tbf. We're desperate to make up that 0 point gap from last season.
oh my....where to start? Surely they dont really believe this?Made me smile:-

Not sure they understand what those words mean.Made me smile:-

They were the only club he could realistically join apart from Madrid. He commented on Pep in the press and they assumed that was the hint that the deal was done.They were probably very happy with Pogba's price tag some months ago when it was City who was rumored to be signing him for around the same price.
Noel Gallagher is not quite world famous lol.
I'll raise you Hayley McQueenWho is he? Never heard of him, how about Usain Bolt?

I used to be a big fan of oasis but these days Noel Gallagher just comes across a bit whiny and miserable.
In their Pogba thread lots of posters are complaining how they missed out on Pogba and others keep explaining how Pep must not have wanted him or how Txiki Begiristain didn't want to pay the fee etc, it hasn't seemed to have occurred to them that maybe Pogba didn't want to go there.
Pogba would never play for a smaller club like city.![]()
One journo reported that last summer City agreed a fee with Juventus, but Pogba turned the move down.
Not sure how true it is though.
It was apparently turned down as the negotiations were for X figure including the 20% agent sell-on fee, whereas the 89m doesn't, so the deal is really 106m+any additional trigger addons.I read that somewhere too.
It just makes it a little sweeter the fact at one stage city fans were sure they were getting him.

Ah, the old "lack of ambition" that's become a classic on blue moon when we sign a good player. Nothing to do with being a huge club of course.I laughed at his one, tbf:
A lot of them on there pretend to hate us when in fact they've only been a City fan for a few years and feel no hatred whatsoever.
To fit in and be accepted over there you have to prove that you hate us first before even mentioning City.
It really is a strange, obsessed place.
I think that just about sums it up. Yhere is a enormous number of ABUs in Manchester, who would say they are BLUE, just because they hate United.Having worked with a fair few berties over the years, its not just in that forum. If you asked me the defining characteristic of a blue, it would not be that they support city, it would be that they hate us.
Which is odd, my old man used to go to Old Trafford and Maine Road with my grandad, every home game because they couldn't afford to travel away.

Surely this poster is on an Incognito WUM.No Bluemoon poster is that Undeluded
Met noel once and he lives up to his rep of being a massive cnut.Noel Gallagher is not quite world famous lol.
My God, bloody ITV news almost doing a full feature length episode on Pogba, AND playing a large section of the Adidas advert. All the footage courtesy of MUTV.
Talk about good marketing - it's great when you can more or less dictate the terms of your coverage and ensure the footage is prepared by the club.
They should show the clip of Nolito asking if Etihad is always full on repeat instead, because apparently attracting viewers doesn't matter for a TV station. Or the Etihad, for that matter.Media conspiracy.
It is. I posted earlier in the thread about compensation due on the future sale of a player who is under 24 and refuses a new contract. Whilst not definitive, after some research it seems that any club who bought Pogba, 30% of the profit made by Juve is due to the scum.
So, offsetting that payment, the rags are paying £89m which is 70% of the total figure. Now my maths ain't great but I think that works out at £127m plus change.
