Here’s what happened when we asked you to sum up Paul Pogba’s transfer saga in three words

Paul Pogba could be on the brink of a return to Manchester United. But you already knew that, didn’t you?

All summer long, it’s been impossible to escape the steady stream of reports linking the 23-year-old with a move back to United from Juventus in exchange for a metric shitload of money.

Are we any closer to a deal being done? To be honest, who the hell knows?

Pogba is over in Miami at the minute, spending his days playing basketball with Romelu Lukaku and firing out cryptic Instagram posts in between dossing about in a pool with his agent. With his holiday showing no sign of coming to an end, it wouldn’t surprise anyone if it rumbled on for another few weeks at least.

So while we wait, we’ve asked you lot to sum up the saga in just three words.

This Paul Pogba transfer saga just isn't going away, is it?

As always, you didn’t let us down…

Most of you coped with the word limit. Most of you.

Some of you used it as an opportunity to make derogatory comments about Pogba’s agent, Mino Raiola…

Others used your three words to get across how utterly fed up you were with how long it was dragging on…

Not going away.

Some concentrated on the reported transfer fee, such as this Liverpool fan…

@SportsJOE_co_uk not worth it

Although Tim had a slightly different way of looking at it…

@BeardedGenius Expensive loan deal

— Tim (@CookPassTim) July 26, 2016

Generally speaking, most were agreed that a potential deal for Pogba would see United overpaying by a considerable amount…

Footballs insanity exemplified.

Especially when you look at this…

Milner was free.

Many were of the opinion that the player was destined not to return to Old Trafford…

@JOE_UK_FOOTBALL staying at Juve.

Given their past experiences with drawn-out failed player pursuits, many United fans were unsurprisingly negative…

not gonna happen

It even had some reminiscing about other world-class midfielders that had slipped from the club’s grasp…

@BeardedGenius Gibson is better

And after following every twist and turn so far, some were so dizzied by United’s reported pursuit of Pogba that their responses didn’t make the slightest bit of sense…
