So many wums on here.

Mainly opposition fans trying to convince themselves Pogba won't become the best midfielder in the league.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Have you convinced yourself he will?
We have a centre back with more goals this season ffs!
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm sure he'll be fine. He's pure class and there are plenty of signs he's gonna click next season.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not done anything to convince me he's class.
Let's wait and see!

Robb

There are also plenty of signs that he won't click next year as well.

anyone seen this? If United reach the Europa final they will only be allocated 9k seats. This is in a 48k seater stadium. Disgrace.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

It is a bit of a shame (if we get there) it has to be said. Tickets no doubt will go for silly money on black market and Ajax are an extremely well supported club too so it will be daft.

If only Switzerland could build a 90,000 arena it would be perfect.

Just got in. What's all this about?

Even FIFA can't believe how much he cost and are demanding a stewards inquiry.

Think its something to do with the Juve/Raiola end of the deal, maybe payments not quite adding up or matching the figures declared.

Cheers mate.

Can't imagine Juve engaging in anything illlegal.

Let them ban Raiola from football, we've done nowt wrong.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How do you know.

Something wierd about the agent getting that much from a transfer.

Third party ownership would be my guess.

That's illegal and would probably warrant a transfer ban if found guilty of wrong doing.

According to French papers, Raiola shouldn't have been working for all three parties, and it's him that the investigation is targetting.

Not sure how anything hints at third party ownership in the slightest.

Surely there can't be anything in this? Probably the highest profile transfer of all time isn't the best time to do anything dodgy!

My thoughts as well.

Also, as far as I know, FIFA have simply requested more information on the deal. To my mind, that is not quite the same as an "investigation".

What are they investigating exactly? Nobody seems to have any idea...

Well they've had the documents since August, and it's not like they've got any other news they need to cover up.
