Elampiro, what's your take on the matter or are you here to defend Phil Jones as usual?

igbsam:
I understand what you trying to say...but you and i know even with the buy out clause, higuain is not just worth it. From your quote, the coach had to put the clause on a high side in order to either cash in on it or to scare away potential buyers. We both know with his age and his inconsistency. Higuain is not worth that amount.

That's exactly the point of inserting a buy-out clause in the contract of a player who is being "disturbed" by other clubs....especially when the club is reluctant to sell. in most cases, the parent club is at liberty to put whatever figure it deems fit.

Word has it that Cristiano Ronaldo's buyout clause is £1bn - is he actually worth that amount?

If Napoli accepted the 50m touted by papers that time (which for me isn't too much), would we be having this debate?

I reiterate - Juve's decision to trigger the buyout clause should be the issue here, definitely not the buyout clause itself.

igbsam:
Who be this guy again ? I bow for you and your argument o. How much do you think cavani wud cost then ? And how much wud kane cost haven proven himself and younger than higuain ?

Kindly refer to the quote in the last response I gave Pietro Rico and get a grasp of what we are talking about

PietroRico:
you know this how exactly?

Around this time last year,

Napoli tweeted: 'On June 25 we announced that the release clause on Higuain's contract was €94.736 million (£65.8million).

De Laurentiis told Italian paper Corriere della Sera: 'I never, ever considered selling Higuain. It wasn't by chance that I put a very high clause in his contract, which makes it difficult to sustain for any buyer

'Why did we do this? Because some important newspapers were writing that we were negotiating to sell Gonzalo for €50m. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3180191/Napoli-striker-Gonzalo-Higuain-remain-Italy-high-buyout-clause-set-scupper-potential-transfer-Premier-League.html

Hope this helps...

SailorXY:
Now how much do you think Cavani will go for?

You people should relax & breathe - BUY-OUT CLAUSE na im be issue here!!

weedtaker:
dias nothing like reputation and form hiquain is 29yrs old and doesn't worth 94mil, dis is a world record fee for a player who's well known to disappoint at the big stage

I reiterate - 94m buy-out clause for a proven,in-form, world-class striker isn't too much

I definitely have my reservations as regard the payment of almost 100m for a 29year old but I cannot fault that figure if quoted as his buy out clause.

With the 94m being quoted as buy-out clause, it wouldn't be outta place to put his "bidding value" at about 45-55m which for me, isn't too much.

Juve's decision to trigger the clause should be the crux of the matter, not the actual clause itself.

(please pay attention to the emboldened).

PietroRico:
but 100m for 23 year old pogba is over the roof.

Is pogba's buy-out clause 100m?

With the kind hype wey the guy get - you think say him own no go enter 300m?

90m as higuain's Buyout clause isn't too much...considering his reputation and form

Juve's decision to pay that amount is another issue entirely.

Not only that.... I have witnesssed several peugeot owners who learnt mechanic trade by force waking and coming everyday for months to the workshop.... to the extent that he became finished financially that the techie had to be buying food for them..... ain't gonna tell anyone peugeot is cool, except you are in KD or Lagos... even then it could still be hell... if you are lucky to know gazzuzz great, ikenna351 doesn't sound too nice on the phone most times.... I am not going to advocate any brand but I know peugeot cars are pure evil on wheels... all the economy savings will be spent in a day when the evil comes knocking!

You be clown I swear

SailorXY:
Kane is out of it {except you have world record fee}

Trivia - if you were asked to spend 100m on either Pogba or Harry Kane (the idea is that the Midfield or Attack needs an urgent Marquee signing) what choice would you make?

SailorXY:
Auba is out of it {Dortmund won't lose two important men to you in same window}

I didn't want to mention Mahrez but with this postulate of yours, you have given me no choice then.

SailorXY:
are you saying you'd rather drop some cool cash for Cavani ahead of a free Ibra? hmmm

Yeah, I would do so.

SailorXY:
Pjanic no wahala
you'd hope the success or otherwise of your acquisition will hinge on Real Madrid's actions/inactions in the market? that doesn't portray seriousness.

Mourihno himself has confirmed that he might not buy the player being bandied about by the press (Pogba) and that there is an alternative - a testament to the uncertain and complex nature of transfer dealings.

Pjanic
Modric
Kroos

Those are the players I woulda been looking to buy.

@ dadehmola: you don criticize too much so let me know your thoughts on this matter...

Let's scrap the players Jose has already brought in & want to bring in.

If you are given £200m for this summer transfers with your knowledge of the squad needs, who are the guys you'll bring in? {realistic targets}

cc afrodoc2
cc elampiro

Lol @ "Criticize too much"

-Since there aren't too many decent CBs out there, I probably would have gone for Bailey too (hoping that he comes good). Varane would also be on my radar.

-Mikitaryn is another player I woulda signed (considering his quality & contract situation at Dortmund).

-As for the C.F. role, I woulda looked to sign one of

Aubameyang

Jamie Vardy

Harry Kane (if Daniel Levy no go do anyhow )

Edison Cavani (yes, the same Edison Cavani wey you hate die )

-In CM, I woulda looked to partner Miralem Pjanić with Schederlain while keeping tabs on happenings as per the purported pogba-Madrid move (the idea is that Kroos or Modric would be surplus to requirements if it happens)

-Any decent winger with pace (I probably would have trusted the judgement of club scouts if they talked about an unknown player)

GBR1:
You failed to prove that Rooney would always play as 10 (he's also a 9) and you've also failed to prove Rooney must always start. You've proved absolutely nothing!

Listen to yourself again; So you think Mourinho playing Rooney as a 10 is a reason not to sign Pogba? It's embarrassing to claim to that, and i stand by that.

Oga - if the manager has said our captain is gonna be a very important player for him & the reasonable assumption is that Pogba, Miki & Ibra would be in our starting lineups, give us an "unembarrasing" analysis of how we would get the best outta our potential 100m (220k/week after tax) signing....aside combing the whole of Europe for a top (and probably expensive) Defensive Midfilder to partner him in a pivot.

And to think you came out guns-blazing to annihilate us with facts, only for you to give us another excellent reason why we should steer clear of Pogba

GBR1:
Why did you delete a part of my post?

Read this again, and tell me if again if i was wrong.

you are the one who needs to read the excerpts i posted from Mourihno's interview and explain how we would get the best outta Pogba (with our current setup)

As regards Mata, I fail to grasp the role of the little fella ( Probably as a backup "Hole-man" or an inverted winger" ) in relation to Pogba's best Role in a formation we arent likely to play ( based on the obvious inferences one can draw from the manager's quotes thus far)

Btw, this was what our manager had to say about Mata....

He's here and he works hard," Mourinho said. "He knows that I know he is a good player and he has space in the squad.

"Until August 31 the market is open for every one of my players that is not happy, but to be fair I think he is happy."I think he is happy and I am not expecting him to ask to leave. I am expecting him to do what he is doing now, which is to fight for a place.

"In the end there will be space for everyone, we have 38 matches in the Premier League, we expect to play a lot of them in the Europa League and domestic cups so in a squad of, let's say, 22 players, there will be a space for everyone. So, yes, there is a space for Juan."

if you want to compare the above statement to what he said about Rooney, you are on your own.

Instead of you to just admit to the fact that you have given us another important reason not to sign Pogba, you are grasping at straws.

GBR1:
Mourinho hasn't explicitly stated that Rooney would play as a 10


Mourinho also stated Mata has a place; make of that what you will.

Mourihno:
" I trust him a lot. I think he's going to be a very important player for me and no problem for him. Yes, he is my captain."

Mourihno:
For me he will be a No 9 or a No 10 or a nine-and-a-half, but with me he will never be a No 6 or even a No 8

Bros - I ask again for the umpteenth time... how are we gonna get the best outta our potential 100m signing if he functions best in a 4-3-3 (and Pogba, Rooney,Ibra & Miki are expected to feature predominantly in our 1st 11)?

GBR1:
4-3-3 is the formation that best suites our players currently and that's even without Pogba. Rooney has been finished at the top level for about 3 seasons and i don't mind our best XI being without him. So what point are you making here? That we shouldn't sign Pogba because Rooney won't fit in? You should be embarrassed by that claim.

The issue i raised was on the premise that Rooney seems to be in the immediate plans of our manager & he has even outlined his roles - I am not here to debate the formation that suits our players best, neither am I here to engage you in a "Rooney is finished or not " arguement


I ask again - if Rooney (our captain) is gonna feature as a 10 (and he seems to be in the immediate plans of our manager) ,how do we get the best outta our potential world record transfer if he (Pogba) functions best as an AMF in a 4-3-3?

GBR1:
Yes, unless we get a very defensive player who is also a good play maker to play alongside Pogba in a pivot.

This conditional statement further complicates the whole thing & I am happy you have given us another important reason why we shouldn't break the transfer record for a Player who is already having problems fitting into the side

Dstv dey show the match?

GBR1:
Oh now you've stop saying we should get Verrati since you've seen it was a poor reason as he's nontransferable or even costlier. Now it Oliver Torres FFS. You didn't even mention Koke or Niguez. Nonsense!

Stop associating "midfield domination" with Pogba. Pogba is not a midfielder or player you get to control or dominate midfield. That's how some of you folks kept on mentioning and comparing him with players like Verrati or even Kroos. He is simply not that kind of player currently and it's pretty stupid to judge/elevate him with such criteria. He's best as the furthest or attacking midfielder in a 4-3-3 (for example Lampard at Chelsea) or at worse a rampaging B2B midfielder ( Yaya Toure). In the former he's good enough for a CL winning side and in the latter only a league winning side because of the lack of defensive cover and we'd get punished in Europe for that.

Midfielders that control games are even supposed to be cheaper than the attacking ones and the funny thing is Verrati being even more costlier than Pogba, so just imagine how silly those comparisons have been all along.

Pogba got overrated by the excessive media attention he's received and that's no fault of his but in recent times I've noticed most folks now are currently underrating him and doing a poor job or even worse. I would start addressing this issue too.

If Rooney is to play as a nine-and-a-half or #10 (as mourihno has said) and will most definitely start alongside Pogba, Miki,Ibra...does it mean we already have a problem as regards getting the best outta our potential £100m world record signing ?

afrodoc2:
Siddon look mode activated. I am not in support of buying a player for 100m especially one that does not want to come anyway and that wont score goals at Cronaldo levels.
We will "crush" Madrid by buying the right players at the right price and defeating them at the Champs League final NOT by wasting money on players while other clubs like Barca, Real, Juve and Bayern add wisely to their squads.
We wasted money on Falcao, wasted money on Di Maria and hopefully this wont be another waste. These Glazers are natural misers people should not think the funds will continue to flow like this, the money should be used in the best way possible cos these funds whether you accept it or not are limited.
Pogba is good but at this point i believe we need someone in the mode of Verrati, Modric ,Kroos e.t.c And actually this Pogba money could get 2 classy midfielders e.g Verrati n Modric/Kroos e.t.c

BARCELONA director Ariedo Braida claims Paul Pogba’s valuation is too overinflated for the Catalan giants.

.

Braida insists the La Liga outfit are admirers of the Frenchman, but his price tag has become too hefty.


He told The Sun: "Clearly when you talk about figures that go over €100m [£83m], you need to reflect on them.


"It all comes down to the TV rights that brought in a lot of money and completely changed the logic of the transfer market.

"Clearly all players are overrated to some degree or another at this stage.

"We know Pogba. He is a player who proved to be very strong and, for a while, Barcelona were interested.


“But clearly the dynamics changed and once the figures reached a certain point we were no longer interested.

"It's hard to keep up at some stage, because you don't only have to consider the price of the transfer fee, but also the player's salary.

“Over the course of five years, that can amount to tens of millions."

A director at the 2nd Richest Club in the world has spoken.

*In DJ Khaled's voice*

#AnotherOne#

dubylhover:
bruh God bless you,i dont get this obsession of proving a point to Madrid,at least it should b for the right players..when we got falcao i always wondered y they passed up d chance since they always fancied him..i guess they were advised not to..make no mistake i love spending on players,if Suarez was available for 150m pounds..I support..at least we should break d bank for players worth it

Florentino Perez:
We considered signing Falcao," Perez said.
But in this club we follow a sporting-economic equation which (former club president Santiago) Bernabeu taught us, and we decided not to do so."

That's an excerpt from an interview Perez Granted a few days after we signed Failcow


At that time, SailorXY and some other Utd faithfuls were probably jubilating & Celebrating "another victory over Real Madrid".

*Fast forward a year after*

We were looking to offload the Columbian after paying Ridiculously hefty wages for some shockingly awful performances.

Maybe the obsession with Madrid dey among the things wey dey bring bad luck to the club sef

SailorXY:
how did he flop? were we under any obligation to sell? he wasn't in the manager's plans along with a host of other good players, & he knew it.

Madrid were looking to offload Di maria, his prefered club (PSG) couldnt pay up and we served as an escape route.. only for him to get his dream move a season after.

As regards his status as a flop... if you wanna debate this, you are on your own.

SailorXY:
so why the flapping of wings around David? that's exactly the bully attitude King Woody is putting paid to. the fans are loving it.

Whats there to love? from all indications, "proving stubborn to madrid" seems to be more of a priority to you.

If anything, i'd rather concern myself with our ability to keep our best players by offering them deals as early as possible.

SailorXY:
cuz they won UCL?

yes and he was a key member of the side.

SailorXY:
how convenient

which time frame i for talk?

As a matter of fact, we have outspent all other PL teams in the last 5 seasons..
http://www.transferleague.co.uk/premier-league-last-five-seasons/transfer-league-tables/premier-league-table-last-five-seasons

SailorXY:
repercussions of leaving the squad with not tangible investments for so long. we have to keep it up UNTIL we get it right again

Bros - Nobody said we shouldnt spend. striving to buy the right players at the right prices (by avoiding overhyped players like pogba ) is the crux of the matter here.

SailorXY:
slowly you are getting the memo

If you didnt get the sacarsm , too bad!

SailorXY:
there's no obsession. this is a manager simply identifying his targets & going out guns blazing for them, IRRESPECTIVE of what he has to crush along the way.

oga - Pogba is an overated player we can do without. all these erections you are having about outbidding and "crushing" Madrid (even when their transfer dealings have been better and smarter than ours recently) dont cut it for me.

SailorXY:
there is no consolations here. if a guy ahead of you is cruising @ 100kmph & you need to catch up then you have to move faster than 100kmph to stand any chance. we are trying to catch up & its on us to move faster.
again there's no tussle. we meet @ an auction & want the same Lexus, bros topple my bid & the Lexus is yours

Oga, we are spending plenty of money and the results arent commensurate with the investments. Ostentatious spending hasnt neccesarily translated into the desired results - a situation that probably requires us be weary of paying premium on just any player, you are here describing F1 racing and Lexus Auctions.

With all the "speed" wey we don dey move for the past 2 years (in the context of transfers), where we dey presently? where has it landed us?

4th and 5th positions respectively. Embarrassing results. negative records here & there etc.

SailorXY:
if Madrid are richer as claimed & we are after same target then they should bid more cash. this is not quantum physics.

What is this?

So because they have decided not too, it means we are richer and we should celebrate it as an achievemnent even when it is so obvious Madrid feel Pogba isnt worth the price being quoted?

SailorXY:
we got Zlatan for free, what do you make of that?

We got a 35year old free of charge, what's so special about it ?

Didnt Bayern get Lewandowski ( a better CF who is 7 years younger ) free of charge?

SailorXY:
We'll be pissing in Madrid's face twice in two years if the Pogba deal goes through. Believe it or not.

We broke the PL transfer record for Di Maria - he flopped... only to sell him to his originally prefered destination a year after.


Yeah, Keylor Navas isnt as good as De gea but he was one of Madrid's most consistent players in their CL triumph.

Both transfers have favored Madrid (atleast for now) so i ask again - how have we pissed in their faces?

SailorXY:
How do you measure desperation? Some clubs need some certain players but they simply can't afford. Have you forgotten the famous "no value in market" when it was clear to the blind our midfield was piss & shiit? Fergie didn't want the fans to panic but hell we were lacking & simply broke cuz of Glazer's loans. We managed to stay competitive while neglecting pressing concerns for 5 years. We are feeling the brunt now.

and in the last 3 seasons wey we bin don dey splash the cash karmi kazee style, what has happened?

Telegraph:
Manchester United have wasted more money on expensive flops than any other Premier League side since Sir Alex Ferguson retired, according to a new report.
The Soccerex Transfer Review by Prime Time Sport found that United had blown almost £118 million on players who were used for less than half of the minutes played by the club since the summer of 2013.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/manchester-united/11849516/Manchester-United-have-wasted-more-money-on-transfers-than-any-Premier-League-side-since-2013.html


and to think we would still have to travel to places like Cyprus, Malta, Albania etc on wednesdays despite the huge investments??

ofcourse, e no concern us - Chevrolet & Addidas money still full bank!

SailorXY:
There was a time players moved to Madrid @ the snap of a finger & you think it's because Spain is the most beautiful country in world? Woodward has said he's here to correct that 'bully into submission' tactic.
Hell we lost Ronaldo in his prime to Madrid, players are laborers. It just is what it is.
If for nothing, this Pogba insistence is to pass the message more clearly in case they didn't get the memo in the de Gea saga!
Real can wear their 'thrifty' tag, we'll see how long their necks will hold it!

why should the obsession with "Out-spending Madrid" or "passing messages accross to them" become key objectives when they are better than us in areas that matter most?

If Real Madrid (who are richer and incidentally..more prudent than we are presently ) are achieving more than us (both on & off the field of play), i find it hilarious when our very own fans try so hard to use the spanish Giants as a form of consolation as regards transfer dealings.

If we are to get back on track, optimising transfer deals (by looking to spend the right amount of money on the right players) should take precedence over some irrelevant transfer tussle/competition with a club that is clearly ahead of us.

SailorXY:
All these "make-sense" talks now is simple & I already gave you the reason; Madrid are where they want to be, United is not.

The more reason why we shouldn't take solace in "pissing into madrid's face" when we are clearly the transfer market "deperadoes" & most importantly, the Spanish club's transfer market dealings have been excellent in the past 3years Thereabout..

SailorXY:
When we start featuring in UCL semis constantly & grabbing a couple to boot, come back let's review our net spends.

When Ronaldo is done & dusted, still come back let's review Madrid spendings.

Till then...

funlord:
I don't even know why jose never tell that fellani to waka sef! But rojo even though a bit average would be nice to have as a bench warmer since he can also deputise as a "left back or central defender" in times of an injury crises! He is on small wages sef so that one won't be a problem!

As I hate Fellaini reach, I think we would need him in some Physically intense games..

For me, Rojo can Bleep off to Barnsley or Cardiff - Blind would take his place as the versatile benchwarmer (the assumption is that Smallin/Bailey partnership would be our 1st choice CB pairing)

funlord:
Toni kroos is a DON in midfield! If real want pogba then let them have him and let us save £50million and in return get a more complete and vastly experienced midfielder! Free kicks, crossing, controls games, great goals, calm in possession, good age, fit, long range thunderbastards! The guy 3 much abeg!!!

Kroos' agent fit dey spread false news in order to get his client a new deal - Madrid would be too fooolish to let him go (at that price )

SIRcumalot:
Madrid has been doing great business.
that buy back clause in Morata's contract is brilliant.
dude could've easily gone for 50million in today's market.

My bad - I don even forget!

Them transfer parole nowadays dey make bastard sense.

elampiro:
At the end of the day, Mourinho would tell you he didn't over spend because he got a world class striker for free. On the aggregate, he will have done well in his spending.

As long as the team achieves the laid-down goals, no wahala

SailorXY:
since when Madrid & thrifty start to enter the same sentence?

The Circumstances under which Di Maria (who was one of the best players in the world) left the club readily comes to mind...

Pray tell - can we say Madrid couldn't afford to pay for De Gea outrightly, instead of offering cash plus Navas?

Gareth Bale's protracted transfer also comes to mind - Madrid waited till the closing hours of The transfer window before paying up.

That time wey dem bin go pay peanuts for kroos (who has/is way better as Central Midfielder)....was it because they couldn't afford the money wey Juve bin dey quote that year for Pogba ?

Before the transfer window shuts, watch them "force" James Rodriguez on a helpless club for a huge amount

SailorXY:
When Madrid were constant second-rounders like Arsenal currently is you don forget how much them spend to reach where them dey now?

That was why I made this statement in my previous post..

Dademola:
Gone are the days when Madrid dey flex financial muscles unneccesarily...

SailorXY:
They are not reclaiming nothing, good for them BUT Manchester United want to reclaim something so it's not magic cash must be spent.

The thing is the spending will continue UNTIL it's obvious the club has gotten it right.

Pogba is overpriced & overrated for now, you'll find no arguments.

The more reason why I'd rather we strive as much as possible to spend sensibly.

Yeah, all transfers na risk but for me, this Pogba own na massive, massive gamble wey no dey neccesary, I swear!

SailorXY:
My only concern in this particular deal is the fact that we will be pissing in Madrid's face for the second straight year running.

Man nothing beats that to me

While we have been "pissing into Madrid's face", they have won the CL twice in the last 3 years & the club is still the richest in the world.

I hope the purchase of Pogba (if it happens) benefits the club immensely.

However, in the last 2 seasons, the money invested in the club hasn't been commensurate with the achievement in that same period. In light of this, skepticism isn't outta place whenever big money is about to be spent on player(s) that are clearly overpriced & over-hyped (as in pogba's case).

Like I said earlier, I just hope Mourihno knows what he's doing!

horlamelekan:
If Sterling is worth £49m, Stones £50m, De Bruyne £55m, Bonucci £53m why the hell u people complaining about Pogba being worth £100m. Now you'll tell me we can buy 3 players with £100m then let me tell you I prefer to buy 1 Ferrari instead of buying 3 Volswagen

How exactly is Pogba a Ferrari in this context?

Is he single-handedly gonna win us games & post extraordinary stats like Messi, Ronaldo, Suarez, Neymar etc?

Is he a clone of Xavi, Zidane, Vieira, Pirlo & Makelele who is sure to deliver virtuosic performances synonymous with the aforementioned players?

I am pretty certain that Mourihno wasn't given a blank Cheque - a particular amount must have been earmarked for transfers this summer & it seems a large percentage of it would be spent on a 23year old drama queen who hasn't even peaked yet.

I hope the Portuguese knows what he is doing.

Oasis007:

I do not understand the frustrations of some Fans here about the amount paid to get Pogba! Who cares..... the most important thing is to enjoy best Footie at Old Trafford this Season. I have no share at United, even those that get shares there ain't complaining!
I wouldn't even care if he's signed for €200m, at least we are sending a clear message to Madrid that; we are also a competitive Club financially!

Bruh - This your "self-consolation" get as e be oh....

Gone are the days when Madrid dey flex financial muscles unneccesarily...

As them get money reach, e even be like say na dem dey thrifty pass when it comes to the purchase of players, salary negotiations & all - unlike Man Utd, they aren't desperate to reclaim any lost glory.

If we sign Pogba, Mourihno had better win the league or at worst - finish in 2nd place (with some acceptable excuses ofcourse).

P.s. : Winning the F.A cup (or the Europa league) would be a manageable compensation for a 2nd place finish.

If you want to tackle me the first thing you need is a working brain which unfortunately you dont have. How does your logic correlate?

You dont care about my opinion, yet you are calling out my opinion on an issue? You see that lack of a functional brain is the major issue with your life?

My opinion about Hazard has always been constant, you dont have any just because you were always meant to be a follow follow, an "vI-concur" a human rubber stamp.

Your opinion was sought on an issue. Your moniker was even the 1st to be mentioned. We were waiting for "Mr Know-it-all" aka "I-will bludgeon-you-to-death-with-facts" to wow us with a unique, in-depth analysis (by thinking outside the box) but unfortunately, the clueless nitwit hopped on the regurgitated & recycled opinions of others.... revalidating his status as the most shallow-minded rùnt in the history of the sports section!

I hope you choke on your dinner tonight, you miserable sod!

Ewu Ara!!
