Love the way the BBC quote how much Pep has spent since he arrived in every article they write. Over 100m now, conveniently, deliberately mentioned so they can justify Maureen's spending and say it's our fault and he is completely justified as we're ruining football and he's the saviour, no doubt.

The Times are now reporting Pogba will generate £40m in the first year or so in commercial income. Trying desperately to justify the price tag. What utter horseshit

Sky "sources":

Fee for Pogba will be £89m

And there you have it. If it was us signing him, those same sources would have come up with £189m

Bullshit.

Fucking £89 mil, for one of your own players?

*In fucking stitches!!!*

It is fucking ridiculous...

Although Chelsea look to be about to do something similar with Lukaku. And they already did it on a smaller scale with Matic.

its "football nowadays" when man utd spend 100 million on a player (noone reporting the agent fee of course)
makes you sick really

There are positives to this. It gives a ready-made riposte to anyone moaning about our spending for start.

I have seen total costs of £170M quoted so the media is not all Raggy.

Plus I don't really think we have any right to pontificate about high transfer spending to be honest. let's just quietly bring in players, especially a CB - no one will notice 50M quid now

Why do we have this lack of consistency in reporting? Surely the fees paid are published by the clubs, so when your national news agency in the BBC constantly under play the fees paid by some clubs, but massively over exaggerate the fees paid by other, it's fucking irritating! They have the information, they just choose to report it in a twisted way. See Martial and Sterling last year.

Also interesting that the main article on the BBC includes a video that is Pogba explaining why the left and felt disrespected by them. Content not working, please try again later. Move along, nothing to see here, please watch all the positive content and disregard anything negative.
