Does he have more say than 'Brendan' did with the Transfer Committee?

£6m for a player who couldn't get a contract last summer and has played about 3 games since is new levels of.
Is Flanagan off as well?
Hopefully Gomez will come back and replace Moreno if he ends up starting the season as first choice.
Di Marzio agrees with me that the Higuain deal and Pogba deal are separate, we do not need to sell Paul.
Look, in my opinion, if Pogba had actually handed in the transfer request, he'd already be in Manchester. This delay just makes it look to me like Pogba does not want to leave and/or Man Utd are not actually putting the 120 million euros on the table.
The chatter is all that he wants to go, it's just haggling over price. Utd have offered €110m + add-ons and Juve want €120m up front.
Also Raiola's fee.
You'd imagine so. Otherwise the Manninger deal looks even more bizzare.Originally Posted by Lewis
Jetro Willems is the latest name thrown up.
He never says how much control he actually has. They just keep on spouting that he has 'the final say.' So I think he's just as much a say as Brendan did.
Problem is, since leaving Brendan has come out and said they make lists of players prioritised and he'd often be offered his 3rd or 4th choice. For example with Balotelli and he essentially gets put in the position of either signing that player or facing signing no one.
I can't believe for one second that Klopp wouldn't be going full on mental at the thought of Moreno still being his starting left-back for the new season. Though if he was getting his first choice you'd expect he'd have been here about now.
"Brendan" presenting a scenario in which he is absolved of the blame for signing so much shite. It's almost like that's his aim in SPEAKING OUT.
Ed Woodward seemed to hint that 'LvG' was working with a Transfer Committee last summer, but then Jose Mourinho comes in with his DEMANDS and Vim can't stop crying. If he has full control over transfers then hopefully having all of the money (and a new agent friend) will improve his hit 'n' miss transfer record.
This puts the Pogba deal into a bit more of a perspective, going off percentage of yearly turnover, Veron has been our biggest transfer. Bless ya Fergie:
Also proves how good a buy the dog eater was.
Lewis.
Everybody is using that now. This is how my friend must have felt when he thought he had invented fish sausages.
You could stick another £10m on that Pogba fee and it still wouldn't be as big proportionately as Veron.
Hope it works out better than he did. If it harkens ofcourse
We all hope it'll harken.

Juve look likely to spend 94 million euros on Higuain. They've made no one their bitch.
Who gives a shit. We want the player, the club don't want to sell. They can demand what they like, but we have money to burn.
At the end of the day, we want a top class midfielder and Pogba is the only one that's remotely available. He's worth more to us than anything else we could do with the money
It's only three Andy Carrolls anyway.
It will end up being a snip if they get ten years out of him and he's class. But yeah, spend thirty getting four years out of Blaise Matuidi just so nobody can highlight the fee.
I still can't believe someone paid £16m for Antonio Valencia.
I mean, he's not been awful as a right back the last couple of years.
I think people forget that, before he mysteriously turned shit in 2013, he was the best winger in the country during his first three seasons.
5.7% of turnover for a sometime starter, general usefulness is pretty good value anyway.
If pogba goes to man utd, it will be mega. He will score or assist at least forty goals next season.
Lewis has a lot to answer for if this becomes a thing.
.....
He's cracking again

OG is?

Did United get compensation for Pogba when he left? I'd read somewhere that they did, but then I thought that only operated between domestic clubs. Would be funny if they had a sell-on clause and this was all a ruse to get Real to bid a fortune for him so they could trouser x% of the fee.
I've no idea why people would be bothered by the fee. It seems fairly obvious that any sense of sanity has left the whole market and so it's only really a question as to whether he's good enough as a player to make a sufficient difference, which seems likely.
They got about 400k
.....
.....
I read eight-hundred. Either way, it's a much greater return (as a percentage) on United's original investment than what Juventus are making. Yet nobody is lolling at them.
Transfer fees have been a joke for twenty years, get over it.
How has turnover tracked though?
Because he should've been worth well more?
Slowly accepting Pogba really isn't coming back as opposed to before when I was just saying that to keep my excitement at bay.
Why?
It's happening.
It just seems like United are being used as a "No really! I'll do it!" from Pogba's camp to Madrid.
You can't say "there's no smoke without fire" re: Utd + Pogba but then dismiss all of the "he actually wants to go to Madrid" stuff as complete fallacy.
I don't know, I may be well off.
Whether he would choose Madrid over us if he had the choice is pretty irrelevant (probably would) because he isn't going to get the choice. Madrid aren't going to pay the money we are and Juve aren't going to accept less from them.
He either leaves for us or he stays, and all the reports are that he's coming. It's a world record transfer, it's going to drag. Bale to Madrid took all summer.
Why wouldn't Real pay the money? Seems like exactly the sort of thing Real does.
Because to pay him as much as we've offered him they'd have to massively break their wage structure and increase the wages of about 5 players.
Ah you mean his wage.
Hmm ok, well, I'm sure they might be able to lure him somehow with bonuses and what not, if they want.
Everything I've read has been that they aren't willing to pay the transfer fee either but IDK on that.
It wouldn't make much sense for them considering Kroos and Modric are as good if not better. Unless they are going to stick him as the defensive midfielder in the three.
Yeah, but when do Reals transfers ever make that much sense? They always just buy whoever was the new BIG STAR of the past tournament.
Well we'll see I guess, but I don't think they will.
Real have pulled out. And I wouldn't say it's dragged, it's only been a few weeks - that's nothing nowadays.
Pretty certain this Pogba business is legitimate. The papers report the less realistic moves in much less specific terms, e.g. the Bale, Muller, Ronaldo to United stories didn't have any detail, it was all wishy washy guesswork.
edit- the Muller story did actually... That was real.
I bet he would have been atrocious for United. I like the geezer, but something tells me he that would be anonymous in a less than excellent side.
