If we'd managed to keep him, this thread would probably now be about the inevitability of him leaving for somewhere like Madrid this summer.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

Pretty sure thats an old quote just dug up from the media to take a dig at United. I read that interview before like a year ago.
That story is about a year old. Rehashed crap. The media is getting worse.
I think City have a good shot at getting him. With Yaya Toure leaving they'll be desperate to land Pogba and will throw a fortune at both Juve and the player.
Are you talking about Buffon's bit here? Because that's not a year old. It was earlier today/last night.
Ye i read that quote last year.
You'd think that if he's willing to go to City then United and Chelsea would have a great chance too. Chelsea have the location and the team whereas despite League positions United look to be on a similar footing with City currently and can be said to have a younger more promising squad. I also don't believe Pogba holds it against us as a club more so than has a grip with Fergie.
Its old.
Juve are desperate for him to remain in Turin and team-mate Buffon admits he cannot understand why Pogba was allowed to leave United in the first place.
"Pogba is one of those players who leaves you speechless," Buffon told TV show Tiki Taka.
"When he came we didn't know him but after only three or four training sessions we were impressed by his enormous qualities.
"My team-mates and me looked at each other as to say 'Are they blind in Manchester?' (to let him go away)."
Stemmed from this article at the start of 2014.
A lot of Pogba comments about Man Utd are old rehashed comments.
I stand corrected. It's odd, as F365 had it all over their front page, and a quick Google showed SkySports reporting it earlier today, Yahoo news etc.
Oh well.
You seem to be fixating on Mata and Herrera too much here. Fair enough Smalling is another example. There are plenty of players that love United at the club and I don't think Pogba has the same connection. Obvioulsy if Pogba returns, it shows that he likes United but my point is he won't return, showing he doesn't have the same love as other players.
What is the relevance of re-earthing these old comments by Pirlo and Buffon? Someone is trying to pull something in the background. I reckon he will be off this summer.
You're quite right I'm sure it would be. To be honest I'd be happier if that was the case because we could sell him for £60 million plus rather than leave for nothing.
Pogba's only had good things to say about us.
Fixating on players you brought up? simply pointing out the flaw in your logic, I did not bring them into the thread.
Go google some of the comments Pogba has made about United since leaving. Then you'll have a better understanding of how he feels about the club. Not what you think he feels.
I'll start you off....
“I love Man United,” he revealed. “I learned a lot there and they make me improve, and give me something to come here and play for Juventus.
“I thank Man United every day because I learned there, training with big players, which gave me experience to come here and get used to playing alongside big players like [Andrea] Pirlo, Arturo Vidal, [Claudio] Marchisio and [Gianluigi] Buffon.”
He also said he would never speak ill of us.
This is the hard reality of the situation.
October 09 to July 12 so not the required 36 months
Expect this thread to grow by a good chunk of pages tonight.
Carragher talking sense on the topic on Sky right now.

What are you on about???? THE PLAYERS AREN'T IMPORTANT!.....I simply mentioned two players who seem to love it at United. Throw Smalling in there, Jones, Shaw...whoever ya want.
He also had some not so flattering comments about Fergie.
So hows about ya lose the attitude and keep your opinions to yourself if ya can't be civil. You're the one that replied to my comment in the first place if ya haven't forgotten.
What's he saying?
He was asked in a leading way whether United would regret the way they handled the situation and he basically said it's not that simple, the player was making demands above his station and that you gave to have policies in these situations and giving in can have a knock-on effect on other players etc.
Said LVG would undoubtedly love to have him as part of his squad, but that it's easy to say with hindsight and you can't just say it was a mistake.
Poor auld Fergie. The Moyes debacle and Pogba's rise to prominence (especially the way so many people put the blame on him for not appreciating what he had) must be bugging the shit out of him.
Loved watching him develop in our youth team. Gutted when it became clear he was leaving.
Have seen lots of quotes but nothing direct from his mouth so I cant judge how he feels about us as a club with any accuracy. However if he does come back to our city but as a blue he will have to put up with a lot of shit off of the pitch, thats for sure. He only needs to ask Tevez what that is like. Not vey nice at all.
Whatever happens he's just a another player and United will still be great along time after Paul Pogba is forgotten.

Been quiet tonight
Aye, he's not (yet) worth the figures being quoted.
But saying that, he might just pop up with a spectacular.

He is in most top matches.
Have to agree. He's not really able to get involved.
Have to say he looks to have all the tools but looks a bit hit and miss. I think it would be unwise for a City or similar to blow their budget on him. He'd be under huge pressure to perform.
Pogba is worth 2p. Everytime I see him play I think what's the hype? A hit and miss player - City welcome to him.
Been awful tonight.
Yeah, he'd thrive in Yaya's best role IMO - behind the striker. But yeah, he's a tad too inconsistent if you consider they're talking about world record transfer fees (or in that range).
Get in. 1-1.
Just as I slag him off, he sorta gets involved in their goal
Mind - still think he's hit and miss.
Mind - still think he's hit and miss.
dreams do come true...i hope.
It's crazy to draw conclusions from a rusty performance returning from injury against one of the best sides in Europe.
I've watched him a few times and I've never really seen him do anything in terms of running a game that I'd expect for £60 or £70 million.
That being said, I don't watch Juve or France fanatically so I'm not going to make snap judgments and others rate him highly so fair enough. For that kind of transfer fee though he'll be expected to be the star man most weeks.

Class Fellaini-esque assist.
That's what we need. Two Fellainis. One far post, the other near post. Unstoppable.
