Take our trash and give us your treasure, nice move City
If City get him then we must go for someone better and in my opinion that would be Veratti.
I've got a funny feeling that we'll end up getting him.
1. Woodward would love to get such a coup and to stop him going to Spain.
2. While some say it's embarrassing for us to bring him back, it wasn't Woodward and Van Gaal's "mistake". Making amends is a big plus.
3. Van Gaal is a known admirer, singing his praises at the World Cup. He's probably the ultimate upgrade on Fellaini. Same physique and presence with added football.

If City get Pogba, we'd better have our eyes on Verratti and Schneiderlin.
I'd be shocked if we weren't interested in signing Pogba. I know Van Gaal wants to wait till the season is over but this may need to be another 'forced' move if we really want him
I've actually been thinking about this aswell. It wouldn't surprise me at all if van Gaal went for him. We need power in midfield as currently only Rooney and Fellaini offer this, Woodward loves his big name signings and van Gaal might have a plan to develop Pogba further.
Van Gaal won't care that he's a youth player who left, he might even just see it as a bonus as he already knows the club.
Then I hope we find someone better as a reply.
Di Maria + some cash?
For the prices talked about I would much rather 2 of the following 3... Scheiderlin, Xhaka, Gundogan...
just me though I guess...

Schneiderlin and Pogba would be the perfect blend.
6: Carrick, Schneiderlin, Blind
8: Herrera, Pogba, Schneiderlin
10: Pogba, Di Maria, Mata, Fellaini
That would be us sorted for the next 5 years. Champions league potential.
Unfortunately I think he'll end up at one of the big boys in Spain.
Would have thought Real will be strengthening their centre midfield since it took one injury to Modric to result in Ramos playing there. Khedira and Illaramendi probably both out the door as well. Pogba would fit their galactico policy as well since I can't see them signing another high profile attacking player this summer.
Or he might be inclined to stay at Juve for 1 more year before heading to Barcelona. They're midfield may also need an injection with Xavi and Iniesta not getting any younger.

Hard to see PSG letting Verratti go but there are inquiries apparently:

We could learn a thing or two from Juventus on how to pimp out a player. There's an international public auction going on for this guy.
It's mostly to do with his talent and agent that have drove the price up.
If he goes to barce or real then who cares, we were never going to get him. But his agent has been patient and seems intent on him moving this summer and it looks like its between english clubs mostly.
We're the richest english club with the most history, if he comes here it should be to us.

I was just having a browse through a Juve forum. There's a surprising amount of hope on there that he'll stay. Most of it seems to be revolving around his missus being from Turin.
Same with any fan forum to be honest, everyone's very protective over their star players. It is something a lot of people are guilty of overlooking to be fair, including me, there is every chance Pogba is happy in Turin and stays there this summer. A league title, again, and CL semi-finalists with every chance of reaching the final, it's not beyond the realms of possibility Juventus give him a payrise and he agrees to stay another year or two.
If he is available we have to bring him to Old Tafford, simple as that.
I read somewhere that the club would only go for him if he himself showed interest in the move, and that will never happen with all the options he have.
Could of course be bullsh*t, but i think that is the right approach to it.

Man City hold talks with Pogba according to Sky Italia.

I am I the only one who does not care if he come to us or goes to City or who ever he wants?
I wouldn't really be bothered if he went to Spain. Would hate it if he ended up at another English club though. Especially city.
I only want players at the club that really want to play for us like Mata and Herrera for example.
again , I dont really care, yeah he is a good player , but I not convinced he will be good in the PL.
SAF obviously saw something he did not like about him
I think it was his antics that annoyed Fergie more than anything. I have no doubt that he rated him highly all the same.
I have no doubt he did rate him highly, but there is this gut feeling I have that if we spend a shed load of money on him , it will be wasted.
I am more than happy to be proved wrong.
Plenty dont want him, he is trouble.
I agree, that is my other worry, we already know he is trouble do we want him and possible causing tension in the dressing room.
He's not coming back to us. He'll either go to City or Real, I don't think PSG can afford him under FFP. I think we'll end up with Gundogan instead.
The issue is he wants to play for Barca or Madrid. If he goes to an English club or PSG he will start planning his next move, constant stories in the papers....thats what he did with Juve. He is a menace.
Did he said that ?
Its been in a lot of the articles planted by his agent.
Don't know where u guys are getting this "trouble" from. He has never said he wants to leave Juve and always was very respectful of the club when talking to the media.
He has been very professional for us and I don't have one bad thing to say about him since he joined us.

comments in here are hilarious. id bet good money that he's going nowhere.
He'll go on to be the new Toure for them and their fans will rub it in our faces
