Praise Mourinho 😱
Premier League 16/17 is shaping up to be quite entertaining.

 

[orochi91]

I haven't kept up with football in a while, but is Paul Pogba considered to be the next Cristiano Ronaldo? Is he that good?

 

[Skellig Gra]

I haven't kept up with football in a while, but is Paul Pogba considered to be the next Cristiano Ronaldo? Is he that good?

He is very good but he's nowhere near CR

 

[SlimySnake]

isnt that 40 million pounds more than what Bale cost real madrid?

 

[etta]

I haven't kept up with football in a while, but is Paul Pogba considered to be the next Cristiano Ronaldo? Is he that good?

He's a midfielder and not winger/attacker like Ronaldo. He's definitely not worth that right now, but he's got potential.

 

[Corrupt]

It's euros, not pounds.

 

[ReplacementPelican]

Brexit just cost Man U a lot of money on that exchange rate.

 

[Kingpin Rogers]

Are these reputable sources? I hope Man U crash and burn.

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

It's euros, not pounds.

does that really matter anymore? :^)

 

[PdotMichael]

You could get like 20 Schweinsteiger for that money.

 

[VendettaRed07]

I can't believe they've done this

 

[Lashley]

So it's confirmed?

 

[Xando]

Lol

Premier League clubs wasting too much money on overrated players.
Wouldn't evem pay half of that for Pogba

I haven't kept up with football in a while, but is Paul Pogba considered to be the next Cristiano Ronaldo? Is he that good?

Premier League clubs are known to pay huge money for players that would be sold for 1/4 of the sum 10 years ago. He's decent but comparing him to ronaldo or messi is a joke
I would even say Kroos is better than him

 

[etta]

It's euros, not pounds.

In Euros it's €144 million...

So it's confirmed?

Not yet by the club, pretty much all that remains.

 

[whatsinaname]

Are these reputable sources? I hope Man U crash and burn.

It's Mourinho. Just wait 2.5 seasons.

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

Incredible, I remember Alan Shearer going for £15 million and it was all everyone at school talked about.

Can't believe how fast this has happened.

 

[cartographer]

Or could have just played him when you had him the first time.

 

[Corrupt]

does that really matter anymore? :^)

When records are being broken, you need the accurate figures, dawg.

In Euros it's €144 million...

Not yet by the club, pretty much all that remains.

The fee is supposedly €120m. The italian journalists that have been leading this transfer have stated that's what Juventus held out for. The current story is Juventus want Raiola to drop his cut of the transfer.

 

[VendettaRed07]

I wonder what this means for Higuain.

I just can't imagine Juve paying 94m for one player regardless of how much they sold Pogba for.

 

[Bersi]

Fuck mino Raiola.
With that said,i dont blame juve or pogba,that's an insane Amount of money for him and the club.

 

[thehypocrite]

ManU looking for relevance.

 

[etta]

The fee is supposedly €120m

Man Utd is paying Raiola's £24 million, and there's the leftover incentives and bonuses on top.

 

[Xando]

Incredible, I remember Alan Shearer going for £15 million and it was all everyone at school talked about.

Can't believe how fast this has happened.

These transfer fees especially in the premier league are out of control

 

[Arials]

Premier League clubs are known to pay huge money for players that would be sold for 1/4 of the sum 10 years ago. He's decent but comparing him to ronaldo or messi is a joke
I would even say Kroos is better than him

And how much would Bale go for 10 years ago? Welcome to football inflation.

 

[Glin]

Hahahaha

What a pressure to be champion now. Ridiculous money for a currenlty overrated player. He failed on the EC. I wonder how Fergie feels now hehehe

 

[dc89]

Buying back a player you let go for free a few years back :'D
At least the real Manchester club has morals.

 

[gutter_trash]

Man U please, LOL making it rain but randomly trying to fit pieces of puzzle together.

I wish Mourinho all the best but LOL

 

[milanbaros]

Please be aware that Man Utd let this player go for nothing a few years ago.

 

[Tagyhag]

Man U continuing the practice of spending a ludicrous amount on their team and still failing to win.

Pogba is amazing but he won't hit his prime until a few years from now.

 

[His Majesty]

€120m for a player you let go for free a few years back

United once again looking completely clueless on the transfer market

 

[Corrupt]

Man Utd is paying Raiola's £24 million, and there's the leftover incentives and bonuses on top.

The current hold up with the deal is what happens with Raiola's fee, Juventus supposedly want him to give up his cut or have United pay it.

 

[xenist]

Is this some sort of scheme to get money out of the UK?

120 million for Pogba? Get the fuck out of here.

 

[whatsinaname]

Poach from French club under dodgy circumstances.

Sell for 800,000.

Have Ferguson say "It's better if players like that go away".

Buy back for 120 million...

Raiola is going to have him put in a transfer request for his "childhood dream club" in a couple of years anyway.

 

[figadapaura]

Fuck it, it's time to get excited. We've got money to burn, who gives a fuck that we let him go on a free.

 

[TheGameshark]

I like pogba's game but for 120 million? Get the fuck out of here.

 

[KingSnake]

I'm happy Real dodged this golden bullet.

I hope it pays off for Manchester. Somehow.

 

[Indrid Cold1]

Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate Man Utd since I began to live. There are 387.44 million miles of veins in wafer thin layers that fill my body. If the word 'hate' was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for Man Utd at this micro-instant. For them. Hate. Hate.

 

[pseudocaesar]

Nahhh, there isnt a single player in the world right now worth that much money. Especially not Pogba, he simply doesn't score enough goals to warrant that sort of cash.

 

[Lashley]

Wenger pay for Higuain, we wont get mocked after this

 

[trembli0s]

Thank God, Tio Floren didn't bite on that bullshit fee lmao.

 

[Mufc1427]

Lol that's way too much money for Pogba.

 

[whatsinaname]

Thank God, Tio Floren didn't bite on that bullshit fee lmao.

I wonder what Makelele would have gone for in this market.

 

[Bold One]

Calling bullshit till the BBC says otherwise

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

Wenger pay for Higuain, we wont get mocked after this

Yes please.

 

[GTP_Daverytimes]

He is very good but he's nowhere near CR

Well for starters they dont play the same position, Paul pogba is hands down the best midfielder on the planet and he has the potential to become the greatest ever midfielder. He isn't worth 100 million dollars but he can be worth that or even more giving a few more years. He is young and extremely talented, his position doesn't lend itself to the game that comes with Messi and Rinaldo's positions, he is a playmaker and will help Man U tremendously.

 

[inky]

Buying back a player you let go for free a few years back :'D
At least the real Manchester club has morals.

What would you rather have, 1 Pogba or 2 Mangalas?

Also,

 

[True Savior]

In the current market hes worth 40. 120 lmao.

 

[Linkyn]

No way he is worth that much.

 

[His Majesty]

now watch Pogba get benched for Fellaini

 

[Fantastapotamus]

It's weird to be a (casual) Arsenal fan these days. Every big club keeps buying players for ridiculous amounts of money except Arsenal (and Liverpool). Which, btw, I like.
