Price of 100m euro is not correct. Today his value is closer to 30m euro.
Pogba available for €100M to interested parties

I agree. Think there are a lot of better midfielders out there.
I think I would have a go at that price, despite thinking he is over rated.
Nobody is gonna offer €100M for him. Maybe PSG, but I can't see anyone else doing it.
I think City will go for Gundongan in the summer, superior player, cheaper and Guardiola should know him well after 3 years in Germany.

Regardless of who creates the feeling of rivalry, some matches have different feeling to them. Dortmund's rivalry with Bayern could easily be based on their recent success. It might be because social media and the internet were no factors some years ago. It might be the group of people around me in my early days of watching football, that was more sensitive to these things. I am not going to deny that what i am saying is at best an opinion based on subjective observation. You raise good points that show my observation is more motivated by wishful thinking and nostalgia than fact.
lol, yeaaaahhh
No one bar maybe PSG would even think of paying that for him.
So you think Schneiderlin is worth about £10m more than Pogba?
No, I think Schneiderlin is worth about €15m.
Schneiderlin would have been worth that about 5-10 years ago.
As ravi says, you're living in the past. Especially when it comes to United.

And equipped with far more football intelligence, which is very important for executing Pep's complex game plans. Pogba would be a great Real or Chelsea player, though.

Unless real / Barca get involved
The one that got away...
feck he's good. The move he makes at about 82,83 mins on the sideline to retain the ball is phenomenal.
Criminal that we let him slip.

He does those quite often but he hasn't been as good this season.
Bad first half, really bad. But very, very good in the second!
he's great one on one and on the ball. about 30-40 million great. not 100. it looks like Bale is going to get sold. now that's a far more exciting prospect in my book.
Pogba seems to lack hunger and so, even with all his skill, the price seems insane, but it would actually be a good signing.
First of all, he turns 23 in March. So, if you get him for 5 years and sell him at 28, you might not even lose a penny with transfer fees probably not slowing down anytime soon.
Second, you don't end up with the opportunity cost of buying someone like Anderson or Fellaini for about 1/3rd the cost and letting them futz around for 3-4 seasons providing little.
Third, he'd perfectly fit our front 6, which currently has the following likely starters over the next few seasons:
---------------Martial------------
Memphis--Herrera--CM----RW
-----------Schneiderlin---------
Get Pogba and a star at RW and we can probably get by with our promising youth and a couple not so expensive depth signings at striker and CM that selling Fellaini and Rooney should pay for just fine.

People still think we can buy him back??
I think Bale is a very good player, perhaps best suited to the English game best. I'd be happy to see Bale here and 50-70m is realistic.
That said, I think Pogba at his age is already phenomenal and will be a great player for years to come. The fees are ridiculous for every player now, so whether it be 100 or 120 it's the going rate, as mad as that sounds.
He's won't come back to United though. Shame.
It makes sense. It's what Real Madrid does. For example, they bought Ronaldo for a big amount of money. But they started recovering the money with shirt sales, also they will sell him for 50m+
The problem is when we buy players around 30 because it's difficult to sell them. Pogba would be a good choice like Verrati. Unfortunately, I think they will end up at Barca, Madrid or even City. So our best bet could be someone like Gundogan.
To follow Conte to Chelsea?
Yes, but I think Madrid, City, Barca, PSG and Bayern could also try to sign him in the summer. Something that I read:
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich already looks to be working on an £85million deal to sign Paul Pogba.
The Juventus midfielder could be reunited with his old manager Conte at Stamford Bridge if Chelsea can beat other top clubs to his signature.
Juventus and France midfielder Paul Pogba
'He told me [before leaving Manchester United for Juventus]: "With me, there's no youth, it's the best who plays. If you think you can establish yourself here, come, and we'll see if you're able to do it, show us what you can do." He pushed me, he struck where it was needed to convince me. I like being given challenges like that. I like indirect provocation. That's my goal: to be the best in my position, then the best in Europe and then the world.'

100 - 120 million euros is not "the going rate". To think that it is, not only sounds mad, it actually IS mad.
You could get better players - Veratti, Gundogan - for less.
It will be very soon.
Bale for 80 odd would have been seen as madness only 4 years ago.
When the TV money kicks in in July watch the prices go mad again.
Been slightly disappointed with him in the CL though. He wasn't one of the star performers for Juve last season and in 13/14 Juve didn't get out of the group stage.
€100m sounds about right for a player his age, profile and ability in today's market. Martial's final fee could quite easily and will most probably reach €80m (anyone disagreeing, please search up the leaked contract for the deal). I'd argue that Pogba is more proven currently and already has a lot more experience. If we get the chance to buy him, then we should go for it, he would be the perfect player to build our midfield around. Rentao Sanches is reportedly going for €60m or around that mark to us, why is Pogba's fee so overpriced in comparison?
It was a huge mistake to allow him to leave but it's one that we can rectify. I don't see many other players better suited to the premier league, especially not at his age.

Gundogan pre-injury I might agree with you.
Verratti has bags of potential but for me has been quiet in a few PSG games I have watched, Pogba granted has had a bad 1st half to the season but for me offers better consistency and a higher development curve.
I might be proven wrong here but Sanches really shouldn't be sold for that much. Torres and Niguez have buy out clauses that are half that
If it's the "going rate" - or if it will be in the summer - then how come so many very talented players can be signed for a fraction of the 100 - 120m euros range? FFS ... the entire Spurs first XI hasn't cost much more than that.
You cite Bale, but Bale was a much more exceptional talent than Pogba has shown to be so far. Any club that spends 120m euros on Pogba will have far more money than sense.
There is a shortage of talent and the PL is awash with money.
As of next season, PL teams are going to see huge increases in their revenues.
This will be reflected in transfer fees, which would already see a player of Pogba''s profile go for 100m Euros.
I expect to see Pogba at either City, Chelsea or Real next season.
But there isn't a shortage of talent: there's a shortage of clubs that have excellent scouting, player recruitment and youth-player development systems ... and this is coupled with an excess of clubs with lots of sugar-daddy/other money that are fixated on 'galactico'/big-name/big money signings as the route to success.
Ok, but why not buy him in USD then? Since the fx rate is more favourable every day...
Don't rate him and don't want him.
It really is mad. 100m is still a huge risk. Basically i would say only players that are almost guaranteed to not just be a success but also be consistent match winners are worth that much. Suarez was a great investment at 65m. He had already proven to be a match winner time and again carrying Liverpool for seasons. There was very little doubt he would be a hit. You could say the same about Bale. Neymar for me was a big risk as he had not played in Europe. He turned out to be a great purchase but Barcelona would have really felt the financial pain had he flopped. Ronaldo is Ronaldo, worth every penny. It's still a huge risk paying big sums like that even with the 50% increase in tv money. If the player does not measure upto expectations that is a lot of money down the toilet.
I like Pogba but I prefer Verrati. Also for that money we could sign Barkley and Gundogan. However, I think we are going to end up buying Renato Sanches for a lot of money.
I would take Pogba over Verratti, as I prefer that kind of player
