Think Juventus are much more likely to agree to sell Pogba than Bonucci. They wouldn't want to break up the Buffon - Barzagli - Bonucci - Chiellini back four.
 
I have a feeling that Matic could be our back up plan if we fail to get Pogba or Matuidi.
As I've been so pedantically expressing in other threads; Pogba and Matuidi is not the same type of player; the former is attacking and latter is more defensively oriented. Matic is certainly not attacking oriented, either. So it doesn't make sense that it's Matic/Matuidi or Pogba, if you catch my drift.

Probably the best defence in the world.
 
I reckon he is the Plan B in case we cant get Pogba.

He's got absolutely nothing to do with a pursuit of Pogba. What was clear yesterday from the press conference was the positions he identified as "fundamental". If it's not going to be Pogba, then it will be another central midfielder - not a winger.
 
No point in getting draxler. He's no where near a finished product, inconsistent and needs to be humbled/patient. We already have two wing prospects, we really don't another one that share similar mental attributes.
 
If we are truly after Pogba and he is willing to come, we need to close the deal fast. I can't see Juve selling Pogba and Bonnuci in the same window and if they get the money from Pogba first, they might block the other one which would work great for us as we get our player and City is denied theirs.. Potentially..

Provided we are really after him and he wants to come..

United are likely waving a world record fee at Juventus, city is waving the same amount David Luiz went for 2 years ago. I think Juventus may lean towards that world record

I know what you are saying and I agree, But at this moment in time it is still unclear whether it is in fact Pogba or Matuidi we are actually in for. Different media reporting contrasting stories.
 
So, we got POTY Ligue 1, POTY Bundesliga. We got someone from La Liga, though not POTY, who was POTY in Serie A last year?

edit: SO, Player of the year Serie A is for the calendar year, awarded in December. Last winner was Tevez :lol:
 
Why? They play in different positions.

So your plan A is to sign a midfielder and your plan B is to sign a Winger, makes sense...

Had it in my head that Draxler played CAM for some reason oops :)
