Pogba and this united transfer is a oxf*rd joke.

What business would you survive in where you sell an asset for peanuts and then buy it back for £100 million and £275k a week.

Just look at them figures, £100m and £275k a week. What an absolute oxf*rd joke.

Football is rotten.

He ain't that oxf*rd good. Ok, he is decent but £100m and £275k a week. Absolutely bonkers.

I'd love it, love it if United do oxf*rd all this season.

The appointment of Mourinho and the treatment of their previous two managers commit them to the Chelsea confines of " not really being bothered anymore"

Football, the Premiership and its "big teams" sometimes need to die

Hopefully Mourinho will give them every opportunity

Massive misspending AGAIN by Utd, which is brilliant. :lol:

Zlatan will be the new Schweinsteiger and Pogba the new Balotelli. (I know he didn't play for them but a similarly overhyped player with a BBB mentality.)

don't really see how they've misspent....obvs they've spent a lot (if they get Pogba)

Mourinho identified the areas that pretty much every United fan agreed needing strengthening

CB, Midfield, Right wing/midfield, striker

+1. Its vile money for a player who really is not that consistent. When he's good he's great but I've seen him literally vanish for France and Juve in the CL sometimes.

Couldn't agree more, and the same with Chelsea and Lukaku.

There was a report recently that shirt sales for Zlatan Ibrahimovic topped £80m already which all but pays for Pogba. The game is just ridiculous now. How are the likes of Reading supposed to even dream of breaking into the top four and staying there (Leicester had a freak season, but wont be top six next season).

Agree on Chelsea and lukaku.

Back to Pogba it's even laughable that this deal is not over the line and the bloke is still on bloody holiday.

This guy coming in will surely change any work done in pre season... There will be some egos in that dressing room.

There may have been £80m of shirts sold but Man Utd only see a very small fraction of that - I think in the last accounts Man Utd only made something silly like £4m from merchandising - all merch, including shirts.

Adidas will be rolling in it however.

Pretty sure that the terms of the £750m 13 year deal means Adidas will have creamed almost all that £80m.

United's vast wealth topping £500m - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37045474

"Wayne Rooney's arrival from Everton for £27m in 2004 represented 17.2% of the club's overall turnover of £157.2m a year before the Glazer family takeover. Twelve years on, the cost of buying Pogba from Juventus is a similar 17.6%."
