If he's thay desperate to stay at Madrid, he can stay at Juve and go to them eventually. Juve aren't pushing him out like AdM at Madrid.It's a bit worrying to me that all the reports say things like: "is prepared to return". Makes it seem like he's just about ready to accept a transfer because it's a lot of money, but couldn't really care less and wanted to be at Madrid. Like Di Maria....

The main difference is that di maria had already reached the pinnacle of his career. His move to utd was a step down and he knew it. He came to utd as we were the only option.
Pogba wants to go to madrid, if he comes here he has to prove to madrid he's with it. Not much difference to ronaldo when he came to us and i think that worked out pretty well.
It's arrogant to think players should only join us that don't want to go to a better side (of which there are a few). By doing so we will only get players that have either no ambition to play for the best teams in the world or ones that will never be able to. I don't want either at United.
We need to buy these players at this point in their careers. When they have something to prove. It's what happens when/if these players do move on. Have they helped us get to a position where we can attract the best alongside the madrds and barcas of the world? Or do they leave and we replace them with substandard replacements like we did after ronaldo or liverpool did after Suarez
Unfortunately in certain markets of players and specific conditions we are, Madrid's main attraction to Pogba is Zidane's presence there and we all know that Zidane won't last three seasons there. Besides the wages we are offering him will price him out of any move like it has done with Rooney and De Gea.We ain't Madrids feeder club and I don't think the club think that way. We should focus on where we'll be in 3 years time as a club...Di Maria understood we weren't in the Champions League. Even when we signed him, LVG didn't really back him and we were quite happy for him to go.

I agree but I think we are closer to glory or consistently competing for things than people think because we now have a better manager, have kept De Gea, have added goals and creativity to the side, improved the defence and players like Martial and Rashford have gotten more established. He is arguably the signing that will complete our midfield and then Mourinho will get to culling and replacing the undesirables in the squad. In fact I think Mourinho is the most important signing we could have made and the evidence suggests that there has been no fecking around in the market - he has identified the players we needed and they have been swiftly signed leaving us with the most difficult of them all, taking Pogba from a 4 time Sirie A winner and perennial CL contender.Yeah i'm not too concerned. I think we're in a good position but what will put us in a great one - is to get back to winning. I would agree, we don't know what role Zidane will play at Madrid in 3 years time. We should just get Scholes to work with Pogba. It's easy to forget we beat a very good Juve team in 99 - with Zidane in the team

22 year old Swedish center back who broke into the Benfica team last year.Never even heard of him.
If you think players don't use us as a stepping stone to get to Madrid then you're fecking delusional.
We're not as big a draw as they or Barça are.
Some players prefer the Spanish giants over us - that's an undisputed fact.
However, we're certainly not seen as a stepping stone to get to Madrid just because it seemed that way with Ronaldo.
Every player prefers the Spanish giants over us.
How many defensive midfielders do they need?
OK, I did a quick google search and it said defensive midfielder and a defender. I thought he is primarily a defensive mid.He's a centre-back.
Ye, central defender. Did ok at the EURO's. Was great as a right back when the kids won the U21 EURO's. Didn't watch him at Benfica last season but he broke in to the starting eleven and was reportedly very good. What i can already tell is that he has an excellent mentality, works hard and doesn't seem to have any nerves. No idea if he's ready for the PL but the signs are promising.OK, I did a quick google search and it said defensive midfielder and a defender. I thought he is primarily a defensive mid.

I know not much about this Gomes dude, but i hope you sign him just to piss off Real Madrid.
