At least 8/9 better midfielders in the world right now
Yeah because they are so fecking desperate for money right? And this even after the President/owner came out and said Verrati is intransferable.
Really, like who?
That's a good question because the 'central midfield' position is one that is lacking in top talent these days. So maybe I'd still include Pogba even now. But is he worth 120m? No.
As I mentioned before, I was basing him on name value. I've seen a lot more of him this season than I had at that point. I still might include him, because there aren't many CMs in the world that are class and he has a lot of potential (as mentioned by myself previously in this thread.) It shouldn't be a surprise that a talent United value at over 100m could be seen as being one of the best in the world in his positions.
He has no idea as he hasn't seen him barring euros and a bit of Cl.
PSG would laugh their bollocks off at that offer.
Oh god not this again. It's moot because even if Veratti and Modric are better than Pogba (which they are) we're not getting them. It's a stupid debate.
What's going on now? Yes, no? United or Real?
It's a bit depressing to think this saga could drag on for another month.
As much as I agree Pogba is overrated on here and am a long way from arsed if we spend £100m on him or not, this just isn't true.
I know
I agree with @The Purist although admittedly, I have watched far more of Sanchez than Pogba. I still think Pogba improves virtually every midfield in the world though if he is used in the right way.
Pretty much. And as I admitted before, I'd be excited if Pogba was coming to Arsenal.
I think the main miscommunication here is me telling people that he is not worth the price United have paid and that he isn't the finished article. I don't think any players are worth 120m, bar maybe Messi, Neymar and, at a push, Luis Suarez.
8/9 is a stretch maybe but 6 most probably: Kroos, Verratti, Modric, Busquets, Koke, Iniesta. I don't think we can get either of them, so Pogba is our best bet.
Iniesta
Busquets
Kroos
Modric
Vidal
Koke
Verratti
Rakatic
Kante
Heck, I might even put Fernandinho, Marchisio, Fabregas, Cazorla ahead of him
Busquets better than Pogba? LOL
Now I've heard it all.
Now I've heard it all.
Sorry, but that's just irrational..
PSG would NEVER sell Verratti - he's the most promising CM talent in the world (even a notch ahead of Pogba I think). So there's absolutely no chance of getting him any time soon.
However, as I've posted a few days back there're certain option to address multiple positions with the Pogba money:
About 30m for Matuidi
20-25m for Fabinho
40-50m for a RW/#10 (Mahrez, Yannick Ferreira Carrasco etc.)
10-25m for a decent CB (Mustafi is reportedly up for sale for 25m) or if we would just go for a back-up we might go for Williams from Swansea
Just a quick example and I would really like to see us signing Pogba. I simply can't see it happening and it wouldn't be the end of the world if we don't land him, though.
There are about dozen bullshit sources every day, hard to keep up with whatever is accurate. I'm sticking to Di Marzio for now.
Fernandinho and Kante better than Pogba?! LOL
So he's in the top 10 midfielders in the world when he's just turned 23 for you? I'm trying to think of who...so far I have this and some might be debatable.
Modric - 30
Kroos - 26
Vidal - 29
Verratti - 23
Iniesta - 32
Pogba - 23
He's clearly an exceptional talent along with Verratti to be at this level at 23 years old. No idea why you think he's being overrated. I would be ecstatic if we managed to sign him
It's a joke.
I maintain that he's not worth 120million. But it was fun to wind the muppets up in their hour of worry.
It's not so much winding up as clearly exposing yourself as a bitter gooner with a chip on your shoulder about anything United.
The sheer pomposity of your posts, claiming no one here watches him play and we're over-rating him was too easy an invitation to do a simple Pogba search against you. Lo and behold the first post I see. Apologies, but it got a few lols and further exposed you as a fairly terrible poster with questionable reasons for being on this forum.
Carry on though. Watching you dig further is entertaining.
In a nutshell:
Zidane said this morning in training that he loves Pogba and would always welcome a world class player like him at Real Madrid.
Italian sources (the good ones) are still saying we're closest to signing him and it should still get done.
Shite sources like Pilib De Brun and Tancredi Huge Schnozzle are covering themselves by saying "he could go to Real Madrid, he could go to Man Utd"
Marca and AS have reported more of their pro-Real Madrid bile which is not even worth posting.
This transfer isn't as closer or further away than it was yesterday or the day before.
Hope that helps
I still want him, because he's good. I don't care about the price. But some people think he's our saviour
I definitely won't. If Pogba is still a Juve player by the time he returns form holiday, I reckon we will drop out.
I'm still convinced he's coming here soon.
Truly impressive that you've seen him play so much that you can rate him higher but can't spell his name.
Busquets walks into any side at the moment. I don't think same can be said for Pogba at Real for example.
Busquets is the best DM and has been for a while.
Applause.
That's fair enough, I guess.
Well, you're right. But what about Saul? He's pretty good, too.
Yeah but Juventus aren't "doing overtime"..... they're doing sweet f all.
Before you guys say something and i don't know how much truth is in there,but a guy in twitter said Italian and Spanish papers will run that Pogba is joining Madrid story in their tomorrow newspaper exclusive edition.
Oh sorry for spelling his name phonetically as I don't read his name when he is playing, I hear the commentators saying it
I think this one is just about wrapped up fella's! Soon he will be bringing his loud hair and eccentric outfits to Old Trafford so that we can win the league! Cheers!
Your probably right, theres probably a few I have missed
Stoppppp...you're turning me into a Transfer Racist...
This is a pure windup at this stage. Knowing tomorrows papers at 6:30 in the evening is ridiculous.
This is as bad as rumours abound..
