Rabiot is literally the definition of practically worthless. So he wouldn't help Juve afford Pogba.
Paul Pogba / turned down United offer of 300k as “nothing”
- Thread starter MyOnlySolskjaer
- Start date
To be fair no one should be giving that "story" the time of day.
If Bruno gets injured what is our midfield? We can't sell Pogba without bringing in a another creative midfielder. Yes we have DVB, but isn't the goal to play two attacking midfielders? We clearly need a massive midfield overhaul and should be selling a couple while bringing in a DM and an attacking creative player. Donny would clearly need to fight for his place with the new attacking midfielder. Question is who?
Sancho could be a rotation option there.
Wouldn't take him for VDB either.
And I'm someone who doesn't think VDB will have a use here either over his career.
If it was up to me I'd risk keeping Pogba another year and try sell VDB Matic Andreas and Lingard to get a DM.
Yeah, he has played some games like that
Yeah, i agree
Would keep VDB rather than swapping him for Rabiot. Don't want family melodrama at United.
so DVB--Sancho
Mctominay
then who plays rw for us?
You guys can't be serious. The bottom line is we need to sign two starting midfielders (since we already needed a DM) before we can think about selling Pogba.
I don't think we will get Haaland either to be honest. On top of the buyout, Mino will probably want 35m for his pocket and i'd bet they will demand at least 400k p/w. I just don't see United paying that.
City might pay it and if Real miss out on Mbappe, i think they will figure out a way to come up with that money.
As for pogba....i think he is going to be a domino that when his transfer to PSG happens, you'll see United make two more big signings before the end of the window. This will of course occur after the Varane deal and Sancho deal have been announced.
It'll be over very soon.
Stats are from whoscored.
I never said we should keep him, nor he is so important to us. Not really. His weakness has always been his inconsistency for us, and took too many risky decision at the back.
But just as matter of factly he is also the most well rounded midfielder around, when he is on form. This is something we can't replace with another midfielder, but we could still find replacement with Sancho filling creativity hole together with a new DM to share his role.

Then we have nothing and we are shit.
The penny will drop with many when he’s gone unfortunately.
Yeah I agree on that, splitting Pogba (midfielder-winger hybrid) into two players is a very good move which I hope we complete this summer.
I don't think he's well rounded, more like he can do everything when on form but it's a moot point as it doesn't happen very often.
Van ”Der“ Beek
But we already have Sancho, who will replace Pogba-the-winger (notice Pogba almost never plays in AM role for us).
Pogba-the-midfielder is average player who doesn't need to be replaced because firstly we need a DM (as you mentioned). It would be great to upgrade on Fred as well but surely all of that is not happening in one summer.
He hasn't played there since Bruno came but he did play there before that and was very good, e.g. in Oles first months.
He is inconsistent but he has been one of our better attackers over the last few years, without him it does pose the question regarding our attack. If Sancho doesn't bed in right away or say Bruno goes out of from again we don't really have to much in the way of options.
For me Buendia for £35m would've been a great option as he's super talented.
Good.
I'm all for signing new attackers, but IMO this shouldn't be our priority right now. With Bruno, Sancho, van de Beek, Lingard and Mata (obvious question marks over the last 3) I think we're pretty covered. Like I said before, we have far bigger issues in midfield and defence than in AM position.
Could somebody count the times we had the "Pogba out" stories since he came back to United?
Cometh the hour cometh the stories.
It's like fecking groundhog day.
Every fecking transfer window.
I know it's mostly bullshit clickbait but still, can't remember we ever had a player linked with going out of the club on so many occasions.

Quite the wish list, Kimmich would be fantastic
Ronaldo.
I will never forget Pogba just staring. De gea should also follow him. You cant trust him to defend a full 90. Its best we just move on.
I was actually laughing because of De gea then seeing Pogba just staring and hoping it doesnt end up a goal made me sad. He just cant be trusted over the season. Im not mad if he stays because we need the creativity but if he can leave for a good amount then Im all for it.
For good, hopefully indeed.
Journalists always like to embellish these stories and make it seem like some romantic spy thriller, when in reality it was probably Paul just randomly asking Mino if he can get a move to Madrid and Mino sort of nodding slightly because his mouth was filled with chips.
This is the end (finally)
He will have to go down as one of the most despised players in our history, twice he and his agent has screwed the club over and shown no respect towards us, he's worse than Tevez.
I hope he stays. We are better with him than without.
Im tired of this constant team rebuilding.Lets just add to the team and give it a go for the season.

Because the flip side is having to make that change this season when we are already looking to bed in 2 players (hopefully)
but you'd have to do the same thing next season when pogba leaves on a free so let him go now and bring in guys instead of waiting a year to bed them into the club
we need to down a marker this season especially with Liverpool ageing up top, spudz wiht a new manager and arsenal a joke.
City, Chelsea and Leicester are investing wisely and heavily so we can't just sit around and wait until 2022 to make moves.
Pogba's ridiculously talented and a joy to watch when he's on form...but I'd happily sell him for £50m if it meant we could go out and buy a two-way number 8 ala Saul, Aouar or Camavinga and a 6 in Rice, Neves or Locatelli (or similar players, those are just the ones we've been linked with most)
Any combo of those would give us much more balanced midfield options.

I don’t like him as a person or a player but it’s a depressing thought to see him leave before the likes of Lingard and Andreas. Who, if we did manage to sell, would probably raise the same amount of cash (combined) as what we’d get for Pogba.
Ball knowledge of this website is in the gutter. Hell certain posters have even claimed he has already been replaced by Sancho with their chests.
these views are not to be taken seriously
I think it would be best all round if PSG bought him from us for £50m. He's a wonderful talent but looking at the direction Solskjaer has taken with the signing of Fernandes, it would be in the best interests of both the club and player if we sold him IMO, and invested the money on someone who would be a better fit as both a #6 and a #8, offensively aswell as defensively.
