Paul Pogba

[Aryagorn]

Looks like Zidane was salty about losing out on him in the press conference too.

Madrid not being able to offload James or Isco for a big fee probably messed up their plans I guess.

What did he say?

 

[Barcilliant]

United really are a whore of a club.

In an interview with MUTV, Pogba called his spell with juventus a "four year holiday".

 

[George_Costanza]

OFFICIAL: Juve announce that Pogba is sold for €105m + €5m bonus. €105m paid over 2 years

 

[Trickykid]

Just 90m shy of the 200... Meh, close enough.

 

[Topolino]

He really pissed Juves fans off.

And not because of the transfer but because he said 4 years at Juve were a holiday.

Holy shit can one guy be such an idiot and just destroy his memory at Juve.

 

[BenRobbins]

370 net spend over 4 seasons isn't really that bad considering we have had 4 managers (Including a chap who had been there for 20 odd years lol). We also had Scholes, Giggs, RVP, Rio, Evra, Vidic to replace in 2 or 3 seasons.

It is all the clubs money they have earn't unlike other clubs.

However saying that i don't particularly like it and hope we return to spending considerably less and look to have a better strategy in the market then this stupid approach. Give me an unknown talent become a superstar than overpaying for a ready made one every day of the week.

I think his words are being taken out of context a little bit. He was only trying to say that returning to United was like coming home.

Cognitive bias is a football fans specialty.

Seems happy to be here and genuine though. But thats probably my bias speaking as well.

Part 2 to the interview is up aswell. https://twitter.com/ManUtd/status/762921374130122752

 

[Barcaman]

ManUtd won't lose money on Pogba, he is that overhyped and has adidas blowing his trumpet.

I think Pogba is a good player. 110m player? NO FREAKING WAY. Would I want him here? Sure. Am I glad he want to a club that's fairly irrelevant and of no threat to us currently, and not to Madrid? Yes.

Having said all that, are those Pogback ads on the official Manchester United account? If so, that's cringe worthy. Also, it's so hard to not get annoyed by Manchester United; they have such a large fanbase of dimwitted apes in my country. Historically, if you don't watch football but want to partake in football talk anyway, you support "GGMU". It's a default condition here. Such a large cluster of people flooding social media and water cooler chat by this shit.. .

It's true that from a commercial perspective, it's not a bad deal I suppose. Adidas marketing the fuck out of this; United is still very marketable even today (for whatever reason) and it's impossible they would lose money on a sale if it doesn't work out for him here. You always have scum like Madrid who would be willing to pay obscene amounts, because they can.

 

[Barcaman]

What did Twix say for how much will Pogba go? 200 mil.?

 

[KingMessi]

ManUtd won't lose money on Pogba, he is that overhyped and has adidas blowing his trumpet.

That second line. Huehuehue.
