The good thing is United have the financial might to beat Real Madrid. The whole of European football knows Real Madrid wants Pogba. I am sure Woodward and Mourinho are happy to out do RM and it would be a statement of intent that would make others sit up and pay attention.
It would again show that United outside of the champions league can still get the big names and even beat RM to a name if it were to happen.
If he goes to RM that is the end of him ever returning to United, because it would be the second time he rejected United for a different team.

He'll end up at Madrid anyway, possibly via Utd.

La Liga will be poor by then in comparison to Premier League.

We were going to go to that but the EL will likely be played on the Thursday before which means the match will prolly get bumped to Sunday.

Might be something to consider.

I think people are forgetting just how huge that TV deal was. A club like West Ham is going to be able to pay more in wages and transfer fee's than the likes of Juventus and Athletico Madrid who have both been competing for champions Leagues in recent years.

The money in England is mental now. It's no coincidence that all these big name managers have started coming to the league either, they know where the money is.

I wouldn't give that much attention at all. Papers looking for next bit of a story with no quotes or proof.

They said jose had sent scouts to watch sanchez but few weeks ago it was all Uniteds scouts who watched him so many times

The Sun are also saying that United have met the minimum asking price for Pogba.
The Sun claims Mourinho has spoken to Pogba who they say was impressed by what Mourinho had to say, but he is waiting to see if Real Madrid make an offer which they have not yet.

AS in Spain are saying United offered €120 million which is a problem for Real Madrid.
The Sun are saying £80 million.
Both say he has been offered a wage of £200,000 a week.

Star Sport are saying United have offered £97 million for Pogba, but Raiola is looking for a £20 million fee which would bring the cost to £117 million, he said United would be a 'fascinating' option for Pogba.

There were claims when Real Madrid were said to be in the leading party to sign Pogba that the total cost was €140 million which Real Madrid wanted to bring down.

It is claimed also the Glazers want United to make a statement in the transfer market, getting Pogba and breaking the world transfer record would certainly be a statement.
Do you remember the time when the Glazers were being blamed for lack of spending... :pac:

Why would we pay that much, get Bale in for way less and easily win the league.

Sorry to sound like a broken record, but pay almost half that for Payet and we'll win the league with Mourinho at the helm.

£117 could be spent a whole lot better than blowing it all on 1 player.Pogba is an excellent player but that fee is mental and would rather see 2 or 3 players brought in.

He cost less when they bought him. Probably would get him for the same price given player inflation

That's makes sense but if you think of it say United only want to bring in 4 players for squad setrling in purposes and say they have 200 million to spend well

120 million on pogba,
30 million on Bailey,
40 million on Mickey Ryan,
And ibra on a free.

How could anyone possibly say that's not a good transfer window. Yeh fair if we only signed pogba and no one else but if they have the money well do it.

The problem is that Agents are a big part of every deal these days and he is the agent of the 3 players i mentioned above.. it would be 6.3m per player to the agent.. you need to be on the right side of agents otherwise you are going to miss out on a hell of a lot of players..

That's not saying that it's right to pay that much or even pay them at all. I'd just rather have him and Mendes on our side..

No indication Bale wants to leave Madrid.

West Ham have no reason to sell.

Pogba is a power play. If United do sign him, it will raise many an eyebrow, and cause concern at the Bernabeu when it comes to what use to be easy when it came to them signing who they wanted.
The balance of power in soccer is going towards the English league, and the English teams will be winning the CL again with all the money that is pumping in from next season.
Come last in the PL next year and get around £100 million prize money...win the PL and get over £150 million.

I mean how would you get him for less when madrid don't want to sell him. If anything the euros would of shown just how good bale is that he is still able perform onot a high level with average players around him.

Only way you would persuade madrid to sell him would be a minimum 150 million that is not saying he is worth it but why would they entertain a bid for less.

When you put the transfer budget into perspective.... with TV money and addidas and chevy that's a minimum 200 million that's not even taking into account match day earnings and all the other sponsors and endorsements it's a fraction even allowing for wages for the entire squad after that.

Rayne Wooney

It is ludicrous money, and no matter how confident/cocky the kid may seem it's going to be incredibly difficult to live up to those figures, he has been playing with no real expectations on his shoulders at Juventus for a couple of years now and it's hard to know how he'll handle real pressure.

I'm not going to complain if it happens but at the same time it won't be a big surprise if we regret it a couple of years down the line.

I think his contract would need to be heavily incentivised

Good point. Regardless, at this moment in time IMO Payet would do more for us than Pogba would. Would be delighted if we were to get Pogba nevertheless however.

They could be tempted....but anyway the main point is 120 mil is too much for Pogba!

We won't be signing him. Jose said he would be signing no Portuguese players and it has been claimed that Renato Sanches was the only Portuguese that he wanted, and we know how that went -it is being blamed on United delaying as they waited for Van Gaal to be sacked at season end.
