Valverde or betancur on paper. Sadly game isn't played on paper and no guarantee either would really want to be here
Realistic swap deals for Pogba?
- Thread starter jamesjimmybyrondean
- Start date
Dybala surely? He'd solve our RW problem and can invest the Sancho money on a DM and CB
De Ligt and/or Dybala.
Nobody. Sell him for cash and get a player you actually want.
He would solve feck all. He's not a right winger and would create just as many tactical issues as Pogba did.
Issue is his contract, we almost signed him in 2018/19 Summer for a Lukaku swap had it not been for his outrageous demands. Maybe things have changed since then though.
Indeed.
Kroos from Real
Demiral and Rabiot from Juve

Would probably be another Di Maria.
We find Argentines problematic for whatever reason.
Only de Ligt.

I wonder if PSG would be a likely option too? They are French team afterall and they could afford him.
Morten gams pedersen, nani, ji sung park
Ronaldo/De Ligt from Juve
Odegaard from Madrid
Cash from PSG which we can use to buy Grealish

Replacing Pogba with Rabiot would be the dumbest move ever. Why would we want another spoiled entilted brat?
Sell for cash
Damn didn't know he repped Gravenberch too.
Lionel... nvm
Haaland
Ok I am dreaming.
Ok I am dreaming.
That would be a dream.
Yeah he would be my dream CDM signing without any doubt, the other guy I would put forward but obviously in a straight cash deal would be Saul Niguez but hard to believe Atletico have the cash
Now that’s got me wondering.You guys really think this will be the end of our dealings with Raiola?
If the ridiculous soap opera that’s surrounded Pogba in his time at United was the norm with all his players at all their clubs, then it’s likely that he’d soon run out of people prepared to deal with him. This doesn’t appear to be so. One hears of isolated incidents (Zlatan and a chair) but even pragmatic clubs like Dortmund have been happy to take on high-profile Raiola clients.
So, has he manufactured the painful drama in order to raise the profile of a player who isn’t all that? Or is he just trolling Woodward because he can?
Bentancur + some cash would be ideal.
He's not started many games in Serie A under Pirlo, so they might be open to that.
Pogba, Martial and Matic for Harry Kane
As if Jose wants him back
. That would have ended with fisticuffs within weeksHes not going to stay in England, so if we are talking swap deals i'd say PSG, Real or Juve are the only realistic destinations
Casemiro or Marquinhos would no doubt strengthen us massively in a swap deal, but i doubt neither Real nor PSG are that daft
How much is he realistically worth now?
Do people proposing Ronaldo knows that he's gonna be 36 in 2 months ?
What would we do with an overpaid 36 years old ?
Seeing as Pogba would go to Madrid, Barça, PSG and Juve only, i'd say probably Varane, Odegaard + some cash, Verrati.

Wouldn't mind this. Juve has alot of midfielders and play with only two central midfielders so they wouldn't be hurt replacing Bentancur with someone of Pogba's quality
to be fair that pereira that plays for west brom looks a better player then most of our CM options
As a swap deal surely Dembele from Barca seems logical choice, we need a RW we are linked with him, both valued at roughly the same amount, both would see it as a win in each scenario,
Gundogan or Rodri?
Agree with this. This would be Mata all over again. Isn't he best suited as a false 9 or 10?
Agree. If he can overcome his injuries, he could turn into a brilliant signing.
You do realize he's just picked up another hamstring injury ?
Nope. That does not bode well for him, then. It's been a recurring theme with him, hasn't it?
Yep. I wouldn't go near him.
Messi? Why not! Let’s do this!
A swap deal for Dybala may be our best and only viable option if the plan is to sell in January. After the latest public fiasco keeping Pogba till the summer is not an option. It`ll be a disaster for the club`s PR and the dressing room morale as Raiola`s antics will continue till then. Madrid and Barca ships have sailed for Pogba, PSG probably an outside shot but they have no serious need for him, leaving Juve as the only viable option. Problem is they`re feeling the COVID pinch and their wage bill is very high factoring in Ronaldo`s wages(plus the likes of De Ligt, Dybala etc) so they`d have to sell a big name on high wages first to afford Pogba
Ronaldo obviously going nowhere but Dybala like Pogba in need of a fresh start, 27 years old, 1/1/2 years left on his and unlikely to have many if any takers in January likely ruling out any chance of Juve affording a fee AND wages for Pogba.
That leaves them and us with the only option of a straight swap between the two if nobody pays us anything for Pogba or Juve for Dybala to enable them to afford Pogba. Dybala isn`t quite a stylistic fit but he could be a solid option as a false 9 with Rashford and Greenwood either side

I think it’s safe to say that after Pogba we won’t be dealing with Mino again.....
I'd take Bentancur
Are you secretly a lonely United physio?
said it seems the most logical and realistic choice, never said i would do it,
