Paul Pogba / turned down United offer of 300k as “nothing”

better off selling him than letting him walk for free a second time
Arguable. We sell him and the Glazers pocket all or even half the money then we aren't.
We sell him.and they buy someone who is no good we aren't.
It's not as simple as saying selling him is good.
Entirely dependent on if we buy a world class player or two who can lace his boots. That is difficult.
I'd rather us buy a Midfielder keep Paul and have a real go this season. But sadly we always stop short of what we need.
I will be furious if we replace him with Rice. We need a creative outlet from midfield and someone like Tielemans who would only have 1 year left next year, would be perfect.
This is assuming he will leave for free.

Simply put we need A top class CM and DM when Pogba goes!
Well we need the DM now and the CM when he goes.
And a striker and a right back , the never ending cycle.

Exactly this is why our rebuilds never get finished. Sometimes you just got to finish the rebuild and see how it goes.
Told ya. Not a sniff of a signing once this started up
Wish we drop the bloody price for Jesse and flog Donny too if Ole doesn't fancy him which looks the case
If he does leave I'd like to see us ask Chelsea to sell us Hudson Odoi. We'd probably move Sancho to the left and having Hudson on the right would be great.
If he doesn't want to sign a new contract I'm okay with selling him and using the funds to buy another midfielder before the window shuts. Losing him for free next summer would really hurt.
I think Jesse can be a useful squad option, off the bench or starting certain games, but Donny - yeah - seems pointless keeping him
Okay.
That would be a bizarre piece of business. Just when we get our RW sorted, we move him over to LW, a position in which we are already stacked, buy another RW and sell a midfielder? When we already struggle in midfield due to Pogba being shit there defensively so having to play roaming or elsewhere on the pitch.
I would take Saul and Neves for Pogba.
We need to buy midfielders, two of them to be exact. That imo doesn't have anything to do with what happens with Pogba. We need midfielders quick, fast and in a hurry.Agreed, that'll really help our massive midfield issues
Our midfield issues are a separate issue, we need two midfielders for that as in yesterday regardless of what happens with Pogba.Agreed, that'll really help our massive midfield issues
The only way Ronaldo going to City gets worse is if PSG sell Mbappe to Madrid, and then they fancy going after Pogba this summer after all with all that money.
Surely it depends on the price. Selling for say 60m isn't worth the risk. But if they have 200m from Mbappe and they offer say half for Pogba, then thats a deal worth doing.
Yeah that would really put the nail in our coffin already
He's not gonna leave. That dude is selling you bs about him leaving this summer.
Confident like is confident psg with mbappe
Never seen a big player to extend his contract when it is so close to its end

Sure, already decided refusing the past offers like Donnarumma with Milan
Didn't say he's not gonna leave. But did say it's not gonna happen in the next week or so. United is not that sort of club. Won't disrupt the plans for the rest of the season because of a bid. Very simple.
I wonder how much PSG would be willing to pay for Pogba given their need to try to offset a presumably upset fan base. It would be as much a pr driven bid as a football based one, so they will hopefully overpay to soothe their fans.
£70m?
If so, that would pay for a quick rebuild, with Trippier and Neves paid for in full, with enough left over to pay for the majority of a young CDM to grow into Neves’ partner in January (not enough time to get 3 deals done)

I highly doubt we would sell him right now no matter the cost
Yeah me neither
Not even Woodward/Judge/Murtough could be deluded enough to think they could sign a replacement before the window closes. At the speed they move, we'd end up selling one of our most important players without anyone to fill his place much less address the bigger issues in the team.
Yeah no point now. We won't be able to replace him.
I think we'd be ok, at least until January. Itd just mean Martial and maybe Amad getting some more minutes. Realistically Pogba isnt playing in CM now anyway so we're not losing anything from there and we're not exactly short of players who can play on the left.
Yeah right, let’s just pretend Rashford doesn’t exist.
Wanting Hudson Odoï to replace him…
They would sell him. But, what's up with all these Pogba going now? Based on one source?
January
I said it before, if he is not signing a new contract then sell him and get some money back to re-invest in the squad, if not now then in Jan at least. No point losing him on a free again, we could sell him and get Camavinga as they will be desperate to get some money as well, so finding replacements won't be a problem.
Sell him to who? If PSG came in and offered what we think he's worth we'd sell him, but they won't, no one will.
I think if they come up with 50m odd, then that is enough. Sell Lingard for 15m and drop the 25m price, we can probably get two of Camavinga/ Saul/ Neves/ Morriba for roughly a similar amount. There are other clubs who are looking to offload as well, just need to work quick.
The fact that some players clearly needed to be offloaded and we have unrealistic valuation for players is a big problem. Happened with Rojo, where clubs were willing to buy but we had stupid valuation for him. In the end he went for a free.
God that would be an awful downgrade.
I reckon Pogba signs his contract now.
Always said Pogba wants to see a team that competes and wins. He hasn't really had that since he resigned.
With Amad going on loan it stands to reason first teamers will have been disappointed with these signings of potential when the first team need addressing.
Rooney did similar when he wanted assurances. With City and liverpool being how they are and no real progress on the trophy front I can understand why a player might look to go elsewhere in which could be the last big contract of his career.
The signings this season are a statement of intent imo and I can see Pogba staying.

I think Pogba will probably sign a new contract now but I also think the decision should be made to revert him back into CM alongside Matic, Fred or McT. I know it’s not his preferred position but needs must and we need him sitting behind whatever lethal combo of Ronaldo, Cavani, Sancho, Rashford or Greenwood is on the pitch. We’ve got so many top forwards now, we really should be trying to get as many of them on the pitch at the same time with Pogba providing the ammo.
