Paul Pogba | Undergoing Medical | Helping out the Laundry Ladies
- Thread starter KM
- Start date
Basically by acting swiftly we've got a great chance in defeating Royal Madrid.
Ok. So let's assume - for the sake of argument - that Kante and Payet combined are as good as one Pogba and maybe even cost less (no and no). Umm, but they take up two spots in the 11! I'd much rather pay more for the single player who ensures I get a second physical player I can play!
This is the primary reason why I don't understand people who say "but for that price we could buy 2 or 3 players or 675 infant footballers from Africa". You can't have more than 11 players on the pitch which is why the best players command a premium. They do a job alone that it would take more than one ordinary / good players to do and free up spots for others.
That's what I thought - I was just being polite
IMO it is more likely that Matuidi is the "fourth target" - a practical, needed and achievable target like the other three, and then Pogba is one of those "if a special player becomes potentially available then you have to try and sign him regardless"
How can you say that when in his first season he led the assist chart with Fabregas? He certainly showed he was good enough for the league, it was just horrible man management and lack of mental strength that made his performance suffer toward the end of the season.
If Pogba does the same as Di Maria, I will be excited only if he can continue that performance throughout the season. I believe Pogba is the right player we need to strengthen our team and compete for the title because he will greatly strength an important area of our midfield and is also capable of producing magical moment. The alternative to not getting Pogba in our current squad is either Fellaini, Blind, Herrera or Schweinstiger. Although these are not the worst option, they are not the standard that will give us that competitive advantage that you see with other top teams. These players are a tier or two below the top tier of midfield.
Either way, I do not believe you need a top tier midfield to gain success. It just gives you an advantage as I mentioned before. We can still attain success with the midfield players listed as the alternative.
I am lost for words ... bale is not a top 10 attacker? Easily in the top 5 for me.
We don't need quantity at this point, we need quality.
Ballbag pisses me off the way he talks like he was in the room when these discussions were going on, he talks like Madrids shit don't stink but if it's really true he wants Madrid then we shouldn't go near him because we'll be fighting to keep him again in a couple of years.
I think with MH as our amc we dont really need to spend 100m on a midfielder right away. I wont be dissapointed tonget pogba but i would not be desperate to spend 100m on him. Kante is a great player, adds energy and protection. Wpuld allow ander to push up more
If what Balague says is true then do we really want a player who doesn't even want to play for us?? especially for a world record fee.?? ADM comes to mind straight away. Regardless of Pogba's potential, I would prefer a player who is willing to give everything for the club, not just for a 300k salary.
I am not saying I won't be pleased if we sign him, but we could do a hell of a lot with 100m.

Yeh I know Rooneh will be playing number 10 sorry I was just too lazy to illustrate properly.
-----------Rooney-----------
-Schniderlin------Pogba----
I think that is Mourinhos aim personally and I think that has a nice balanced blend to it.
Yes or no to Buyout clause if Pogba signs to avoid a De Gea fiasco?
Priced out Real Madrid, never thought I'd see this day
This sounds like your typical Real release, 'He wants us but its travesty he can't come' or 'Pogba is being sent to Manchester against his wishes'.
Expect Blatter to come out soon complaining about Pogba being treated like a slave.
Preferring Real/Barca and not wanting to play for us are two very different things. If he joins us then he obviously wants to play for us (he isn't going to be forced out of Juventus after all)
I think it will be an astronomical fee.
I can see it being €120m but i am sure a quarter of it will be add-ons.
I think we are going to make him the highest paid player in the league. He would be nuts to turn us down, and with all their big earners, Real would be foolish to push the boat out and match us here.
PogON.

No, it's a matter of pride, if we get back to title wins, (which I firmly expect under Mourinho in the next couple of years) more players will want to stay than leave a club of our size even for real and barca.
Big claim..
He is saying that Pogba met Mourinho in London 6 months ago, and also claims that he never really wanted to leave the club in the first place.
However when asked if he's only willing to come back because Real can't afford the fee, he said 'he doesn't know'
So why do they talk in Monaco instead of Turin? Man, I happen to check that thread compulsively every bloody second, as if I would expect an update, when in fact, nothing is supposed to happen until the Euro is finished. Yes I am a muppet but what can I say? This keeps me awake even when I am travelling to the other side of the world!
Priced out Real Madrid/Spainish Government, never thought I'd see this day
EFA
Is that not why we spent on MH and got in Ibra. We really lack a player like roy keane. Dont need another game changer, too many can be negative too.
I would expect to spend 100m on a attacker not pogba. Pogba gets you goals in 20% of games, hardly a game changer. I wont be dissapointed to sign him he is a good player but i would be concerned spending that much money on him.
Exactly. Its come straight from Real, who are trying to get a slashed price. Juve will not accept anything but a matching, or damn near, of our offer.
I think it's different pogba has admitted he still loves the club.He grew up with players on are team from the academy I think he would still give his heart as soul for the team if we got him, also pogba has a great attitude on the other hand Di Maria is a whining little girl.
So back to my point, he not consistent wont change the game is he worth 100m??
I would rather spend that on Griezman
Woody is in monaco i think.
Ronaldo wanted to leave from 2006. Did you feel it in his performances?
Don't worry the Government will step in to save the day for them again
so new title change thenHaha hes changed his tune hasn't he
This.
Especially as the PL continues to pull away from the other leagues, in terms of reach, prestige and competition.
I get what you mean, but honestly, few players have attachment to their clubs nowadays. Out of our current players, I don't think many would stay if Barca/Real came calling and we had no say in the matter. The English players probably, but not many others. The only way to change that is to get United back to the very top.
If u spend 100m on a player, thats a position guarenteed. You spend 30m on kante u have a squad player. Would allow fosu to have more game time.
I really like Greizman but after signing Mhiki and Zlatan and we have Martial we have more of a need for a CM. I don't think he is worth 100m however I couldn't care less we need a top CM and he is one.
The EUROs are happening in France, everyone is likely to be there especially with the final being this weekend.
That was different, We laid down the foundations for him to become world class which he obviously appreciated. Bringing in a player who would rather play for another club is entirely different.
Just a thought, but Kroos is absolutely incredible and would cost half the price. Letting Pogba go to Madrid would hopefully open the door for Kroos to come to Utd. I know most of you prefer Pogba, but if you have been watching the Euros then you will appreciate how good Kroos is.
Riola just bought a zillion dollar home there with his new found wealth.
Griezmann isn't available he just signed a new contract.
