I believe I was the first to say he was Carlton Palmer. My claim to fame if it's brought to the terraces.
Can somebody clever please change this picture to Carlton Pogba? Thanks in anticipation.

Only reason it's not less is so they still get the world record!
Seriously though, doesn't matter how much he costs he's a top top signing and a huge statement of intent from them. Still confident they & the 18 others won't finish above us though.

Well, I still remember he was one the best players on the field when we played Juve both times. Nowhere near worth the price but they've improved their midfield enormously. I think there are a lot of churlish posts on here regarding this fella. He is a very good player.
What a load of bollocks... i've noticed the price has been dropping the last few days... it's just the Rag PR machine trying to make the deal seem like a bargain. There's no way they're paying less than 100mil... and definitely no way his agent will get nothing... he wants 20% ffs! Just pisses me off how the press do this constantly for them, yet our transfers - they work out the wages for the entirety of the contract and any add-on and report the full sum! Cunts!
Makes my blood boil that.

Be interesting to see if Juve release the figures. You would think they'd like to show they sold him for more than they bought higuain for.

I'm getting excited.
Let's hope he doesn't.

So it's 89 million not withstanding the agent's fee which is 20-25 million which takes it down? to 64 million. Shirt sales with his name on alone guarantees 40 million which brings it to 24 million. The good will factor this transfer brought was a thrilling win in the charity shield which Big nose accomplished and his wages must amount to about 25 million. In effect GPC let him go for next to nowt and they've actually made a slight profit. I reckon the rag hordes will swallow that if Sky tell them so.

Manchester United and Juventus have finally reached an agreement over the transfer of Paul Pogba, with the France midfielder set to have a medical before completing a €110m move back to Old Trafford.
The 23-year-old will sign a five-year contract with the club he left in 2012 on a free transfer.
The overall fee is likely to reach €120m with add-ons factored in and United have also agreed to pay the substantial cut commanded to Pogba’s agent, Mino Raiola, who acted as an intermediary between the clubs during negotiations.

Oh yeah. I know it's MSN but that's what made it funnier... playing to the yanks?

What it doesn't mention is the kickback clause whereby the rags, are in effect, paying themselves.
His contract expired, there was no sell on clause.

True his contract had expired. but as I understand it because of his age at the time he left, plus the time he had spent with the Rags, it's classed as youth development and are entitled to a percentage of his next transfer fee.
They got compensation to the tune of £800k due to his age.
