Build Up: Pogba to United

Can we make a sticky announcement that the shirt sales argument is absolute rubbish, please?

Juventus have made contacts with Higuain's agent to sign Gonzalo. [GdS]

I wonder where Juve will be able to pull out 94m

Great career move for him and Juve land themselves an excellent striker if it goes through

Stick to posting Zielinski and Lasagna updates. I'm sure there's a nice little 'transfer saga' brewing in there somewhere between Milan and Carpi
Than this absolute non-story where frauds like Laudisa pull out off their arse everyday.

Anyway, just one more week until Pogba returns to pre-season. Cant wait to see Pogba and Pjanic together ffs !! Exciting times

still a done dealio IMO

inb4 he stays and we buy Sissoko and James for 100m instead

Considering we just upped our price to 35m you might have to

Nobody in their right minds would pay that much for a glorified track athelete, not even Woodward.

He might find himself in another France situation if Mourinho doesn't play a 433. I would honestly advice him to stay at Juventus. If he is sold for 100m and then played in a double Pivote the pressure would ruin him and he won't be able to showcase his  game.

Woodward seems to think this is FM.

Yep. And thats why this deal shouldnt happen. Theres no indication that Mourinho will be willing to change the system, even if its for a 100 m player.
And I cant see Pogba being effective in a deeper role in a 4231 either. If they buy Pogba they will also have to decide between Pogba and Rooney, it is as simple as that. 100 m transfer fee, insane wages and if pog wont deliver from the get go, shit will turn bad.

Much better idea is to buy players who will actually suit the system. For 100 m, jose can get both Saul and Neves. or just buy Saul for 50 m and put fosu mensah as no.6 alongside him in a double pivot.

100 Mil for Pogba is nothing because of the revenue he will bring in from shirt sales.

Ronaldo MADE madrid money, that's right he brang in more revenue then his transfer fee alone  from shirt sales after his move and that doesn't include all the other marketing etc as i say before anything less then 150 mil and Juve is getting ripped off not because of his ability but the marketing and shirt sales he brings. Utd has the money so don't be surprised if pogba stays, wins the cl with Juve stars and you will have to pay a lot more then 100 mil

If he does that, then United wont even be in the picture. He will be snapped by Riyal or Barza.
Truth be told this will be our only opportunity to get him back. This season. Mehdrid are dithering. Barca are broke. City and Pep doesnt want. Chelsea is not in the picture. And PSG is only PSG.
And Pogba too aint exactly setting the world alight at this point in time.
Fast forward an year everything can/will change.

If it wont happen now, it will happen never imho.

Juve fans are talking about Pogba as if he were Maradona

bro

Isn't it amazing that just by mentioning Hernanes in a post you get a guaranteed up vote ?

This is his greatness boys and girls. Neither Messi nor Ronaldo will ever conquer that.

Hernanes

How do you figure that? It's the most successful team of the 21st century, they're at the top of every bandwagoner's list, and they clearly don't pay their taxes

i've never understood where that barcelona being broke story came from. people where saying they don't have money to renew neymar's contract and i believe they've already done so. sounds like something from one of these so called spanish journalists, that just made the rounds until people took it as "fact". who remember that dumb stuff about them not having money for colored printers, and then a year after they sign suarez for like 80 million.....it used to be that if you torture your data/stats long enough they'll confess to anything (We've got some good examples on that here). now if "journalists", repeat or retweet things long enough, we'll somehow accept it as truth

It comes up every season and every season they spend shit loads of money

Low and behold they have just spent 50m euros on two defenders who probably won't even start

People need to stop believing every piece of crap that get's written.

It comes from club. They have an operating budget problem paying salary, I don't believe they have a capital problem for signings! Re operating budget they are bound (board is) to operate within income and their salary load is near the top of that limit. Issue is being able to renew with increased salaries or signing new players with high salary demands.

Pogba, "Manchester United was my first family."

Pogba, "If Mourinho called me? At the moment I am at Juventus and I am happy at Juve. I don't know what will happen."

I bet you one of those fans of Lucian Blaga's "paradisiac knowledge".

It's funnier with the "Luciferian knowledge", because you don't dissolve the mystery. Now people know the truth due to your "revealing metaphor". Luckily, for some people, it wasn't in debate "where do kids come from". Blasphemy from Ion Creanga!
