July 22, 20168 yr Author So it looks like the Pogba deal might be back on then! I'm still choosing to remain relatively quiet on the whole affair. If we sign him great but the pressure of that price tag will be ridiculous so I'm not counting any chickens yet... Still think the reason the deal is holding is, is Pogba and Co are waiting for Real Madrid to come on. It's a ridiculous deal, not one player is worth than amount of money. And while I think Pogba is a great player, I wouldn't put him in that top level bracket yet. Admittedly you're buying potential, but there's gonna be some massive pressure on him to hit the ground running.
July 22, 20168 yr Yeah I'm not thrilled we're going to drop £100m and I honesty don't think he's worth anywhere near that. Supposedly Jose has 2 other targets for that same position so I actually wouldn't care if it fell through. I suspect part of the reason they're pushing so hard is that it's be a big signing and after the last three years Woodward is under a lot of pressure to prove he's capable. As it stands were 75% done our essential business 6 weeks from deadline day which is a remarkable improvement.
July 25, 20168 yr Author I think he's a brilliant player. He was really unlucky with injuries. He definitely didn't score enough, but I don't know many players who can turn on the ball as well as he can in the Premier League. He's not fast/strong/tall enough to be in the way Klopp wants his midfield to be. He will do well at Stoke hopefully.
July 26, 20168 yr Too small, not strong enough and doesn't score enough goals. Unfortunately for him, that means he was never really going to work in a Klopp midfield With all these sales, we could end up making a profit this window Benteke still to go and probably only a LB to come in
July 26, 20168 yr Author Higuian going from Napoli to Juventus. Milik going from Ajax to Napoli. The Pogba money sure is bouncing around :lol:
July 26, 20168 yr Higuaín to Juve for over £75. Ridiculous money for a 28 year old, can only mean Pogba must be off then now, agent holding everything up.
July 26, 20168 yr Author Higuaín to Juve for over £75. Ridiculous money for a 28 year old, can only mean Pogba must be off then now, agent holding everything up. Looks that way, but Juventus are also quite rich for an Italian club and look to be selling off numerous fringe players. 25m in agent fees is ridiculous.. only Man Utd could pay that :lol: :D
July 26, 20168 yr I feel the Italian league is going the way of the German & French leagues will only 1 team in the title race every year (well it's been heading that way for a few years now really) - shame really. Yep I know, it's gotten to the point now where I wouldn't be that disappointed if nothing happened. Of course it'd be a great signing & the type of player we most definitely need but the money & the nature of the transfer just points in the direction of a huge underachievement...
July 26, 20168 yr How much are Man Utd bidding for Pogba now? he's a good player but he's not worth the crazy amount of money that people have been mentioning.

It's completely gone that way. Outside of Juventus, everyone else is skint! Massive amount of pressure on him, and it's the first thing anyone will mention (and it's all we will hear about for the first year). Good player, but he's not in that top bracket imo. How much are Man Utd bidding for Pogba now? he's a good player but he's not worth the crazy amount of money that people have been mentioning. Juventus want 120 million Euros (probably 100 million up front and the rest in add-ons I expect). The agents involved then want 25m Euros as well, which is what the media are reporting as holding the deal up. Crazy money.

I have a feeling that we'll regret this somehow if it goes ahead, it's only Cristiano Ronaldo & Lionel Messi that are worth that much in my opinion. We could have bought at least 3 decent players with that money.

We could have bought at least 3 decent players with that money. Who knows. Thing is, even if he is absolutely amazing, he will end up at Real Madrid in a couple of years time. Guess a lot of it really is about showing people how much of a big club they are. That said, there's everything to gain and even more to lose...
