€25 million to an agent? It's not my money and the club is loaded but fúck that.

F**kin' eejits if they pay him that, i'd happily do it for €10m.

Seriously though, this would be a massive insult to humankind if it were to be true.

Boys, boys...wow...whisht.....you're all f**king drunk! When did we decide we were dropping the 'E'?? Before he signs and jerseys start getting printed, we have to nail down a spelling. Don't want some excited kid in China waking up on Christmas morning and opening their present to see a typo on the back of the shirt. The poor father probably worked for a year making a million of them just to be able to afford to buy him one.

It's Mickey Ryan, the only Es we'll be dropping will be after we beat the French later.

They could easily afford him the Spanish government ain't that broke as I said yesterday they would easily get half that money by selling James to United.

Didn't Real offer James to Utd for 50m?
Almost sure I read that somewhere

Waking up to DiMarizio saying United have the Ibra and Mkhitaryan deals done, and are talking about Pogba now, makes me so happy. Reads like he was briefed by Raiola.

Another point about the cost of Pogba; we're doing well getting Ibra in for "free" and Mkhitaryan in for "only" €40m. So we're in a position where we can overpay somewhat for Pogba (not, mind, that I believe he's joining us at all).

Reads more like he's seen the strong reports in Germany that Mkhitaryan is very likely and everybody knows Ibra is likely. He also read the Telegraph and AS report that Utd are talking about Pogba.

This is what Di Marzio does. He essentially steals reliable (relatively) reports from other publications and passes it off as his own. The same way many other journos do it but Di Marzio is obviously smarter at it and does it on a bigger scale. What a charlatan.

That fee for Pogba sounds outrageous. Paying that puts pressure on Mourinho, Woodward and the player himself, immediately.

If I was the Glazers and sanctioned 120m on a player, I expect the league to be won season one, and that player to be incredible. And would be having serious inquiries if that turned out not to be the case

Why would pogba choose a club that isn't in the champions league next season? He'd be better off to stay at juventus.

Good as he is it would be utter madness to spend such sums on him.

I can't for one second believe it's based on anything solid.

Are they going to pay him £200k plus a week?
I don't think he will be coming but more than doubling your weekly wage is incentive enough for anyone.

roosterman71

I don't get all this "why would X join when we're not in the Champions League?". Money talks to these lads more than a few european games. I'd be the same myself!

Most CL games are rubbish, especially the group. And big teams rest players galore once enough points are on the board. English teams no longer need the Champions League thanks to the new TV deal. Now it's only a "momento". Getting there means nothing any more. The priority for all will be to stay in the league

As for signings, I guess Zlatan is a done deal once he gets his payoff from PSG. Mickey Ryan will join too if we're only whinging over a couple million with Dortmund. That leaves Pogba then. Paying that money is crazy, but if we pay it so be it. I'd be more upset giving his agent 20m or whatever he's after. Exactly, what has he done for that? Pure madness.

Finally, Mr. Rooney. Say we play the Jose way (4-2-3-1), I see no place for him. As part of the 2, no. Bastian/Morgan/Blind/Pogba? all superior there. Haven't mentioned Herrera either and I'd like him to get a run. That leaves as part of the 3, and most likely in the centre. Again, no from me. Prefer Mata in the middle. Let the man play where he's best. Ander could be there either, even Zlatan (if he signs) could control from there.

jayo26

Just out of curiosity who could we realistically sign if we shouldn't sign pogba? What other box to box midfielder is available?

Do we need a box to box midfielder if we play rooney in same position as he plays for England?

Would we be better getting a more advanced midfielder like James or isco.

DM you make a valid point there but I think Morgan plus one (schweini,Rooney,blind) plus Pogba could be a big midfield

I think Morgan could prosper under Jose in the makelele type role

Herrera is better than Schweini, Rooney or Blind.

@jayo

I think Kante might be another option to Pogba. We could put him in the base two

I think if pogba or anyone else is coming in we might lose one of Daley or Morgan or Ander as we'd get decent money for any of them

Kante would be a good option he shouldn't cost 60 million anyway and would have a sell on value. I wonder are Leicester going to be more United by vardy signing a new contract I'd reckon they might hang onto kante.

The money being quoted for Pogba is silly and I just dont see us spending that on a player we let go for free.
I would rather see us signing Kante and another middle of the park player, ideally Kroos, Barkley, Modric or more attacking player James, Reus than blowing a load on Pogba

Bailly got married on Friday. Fergie would have loved him!

This absolutely should not play a single second of a role in any decision of whether or not Pogba is the man we want. Not one solitary second. Plenty of other perfectly valid reasons to worry about him, but letting him go for free is not one.

But the problem with most of the names you mentioned is are they realistic.

Modri touching 30 now guaranteed to be in Madrid first team next year they won't want to sell and he ain't worth throwing money at ti temp them to sell.

Kroos is getable bit long contract with madrid and in my opinion he is very slow but good passer of the ball but madrid would end up raping us for him.

James I'd love to sign and our of all the players he would offer us the most and best value for money.

Barkley no thanks too inconsistent and wouldn't improve us over a full season.

Reus is a good central midfielder but very injury prone.

Pogba 120 million you get one of the best midfielders for his age could give you 12 years service and scores goals and defends well and if he did play awesome for us you would get the money back on him or close to it.

Lord TSC

Embolo to Schalke confirmed now.

Fair play to him if he did choose playing time over money. Speaks of a smart young man.

Would have zero problems paying €120m for Pogba.

Would wrap up our midfield for the next 7-8 years (unless Real come calling, in which case, we'd make the money back and possibly more). World class talent, a few steps above any other midfielder his age and profile. **** the media or any opposition fans who'd push the "isn't it embarrassing to call him back..." nonsense; they can push that all they want when we're back winning the league as Pogba dominates their midfield :P

If you want world class talents, genuinely top level players, you've got to pay big bucks, and there's no player of his age or position who'd come close to his level of ability.

Completely agree. What is money at the end of the day when you are almost guaranteed success. We'd make it back in spades eventually anyway.

That's could be a chain reaction. He goes schalke and schurlle goes Dortmund and Mickey comes to Manchester.

As a fellow meath person I'll take Dublin breaking scoring records twice over if Ireland can scrap a win. And I work in a pub full of dubs later.

120m for Paul?

Give them 240m after that!

Love Pogba, obviously in a hurry to get to United.

€120m for Robbie Brady more like.

For €120M you would expect a bit of consistency. If anything Pogba has gone backwards in the last year. He's too inconsistent.

Would like United to have a chat with his agent and look to sign him in 2017 when we are hopefully back in the CL, as he will cost €100 million.

Bale v inter type performance,? Maybe not. His potential is very evident though.

If there was as much attention paid to a 22 year old Keane or Vieira how would they fare under such scrutiny? Likely as inconsistent and not imposing on the game.

Pogba is not even near a 120 mil player. Maybe 40 mil. Still way to much to prove. Don't think any player is worth 120 at the moment.
