If that is true, what a piece of shit neymar is. After pushing himself out of barca, he now wants to leave psg after just one season?

Honestly wouldn't mind Pogba leaving for the right price though. Especially at 150M pounds.
The only player I deem irreplaceable in our squad is DDG.

When you consider a replacement would cost us minimum 80m without them being the same quality it just doesn't seem worth it for us.
The thing is, even if some value Pogba as 150m player, he doesn't perform like one for us. More like a player half that price.
True at times. At others he looks fully worth the 150m. The problem is at others he looks worth about 30m.
You'd hope as he matures he'll add that consistency. He's around the same age as Jesse, and is just as inconsistent.
To be fair to him the whole team can be at times though.
Probably fair. But the factors that decide a footballer’s price, however daft they seem at times, aren’t always football related. Pogba is incredibly marketable. Overpaying is going to be required if we are to sell.
That's the point, 150m player should perform week in week out, not when they are arsed. And at 25, I'm not sure I can hope he matures since he should have by now.True at times. At others he looks fully worth the 150m. The problem is at others he looks worth about 30m.

And I agree about the team, but the way I look at it, that's why you have world class players, they should lead from the front really.
Hmm I will disagree on that. I don't think we would need to replace a superstar with another superstar. And I'm sure there are gems out there worth less than 80m who are capable of doing what Pogba can do.
I agree, the club seems to have bought it in the market side of things. But there will come a time when we have to stop and take a look at ourselves, we gloat about handshakes, hairstyles, promotional videos, how much money we make from the brand THAT WAS CREATED BASED ON SUCCESS, and all that while we tolerate mediocre performances and attitudes.
The idea of selling Pogba is ridiculous. Have some fecking patience. And it isn’t even as if he doesn’t give us plenty of good games anyway. The idea that he should be sold at 25 because his very good games (which are better than everyone else’s good games by the way) don’t happen every week is ridiculous. He’s a young player, who is showing his extraordinary capabilities often enough to be persisted with.
We shouldn’t have bothered trying to buy him back until he was 27 if this is how people think. Despite all our championing, what it will be saying is hat we are NOT he place for talented young players to come to after all.
The idea of selling Pogba is ridiculous, but I only said I'm fine with it, if he is ''unsettled'' and wants to leave. If he does and we are offered 150m I wouldn't blink and eye, this club is bigger than any player and no one should be kept if he doesn't want to wear the colors.
The main problem with this is most of our players don't perform to their price tag, that says more about the team as a whole than the individual.
So even if we replace him with another, we may have the same issue anyway.
Well that is fair, but the post I responded to was justifying his sale due to his performances, not his happiness. If he wants to stay, we certainly shouldn’t be the idiots actively trying to push him out.
That was more to the regard of the transfer fee and the fee we might need to replace his performances. What I meant was, he isn't performing like a 150m player, if we get that amount we can replace him with a player that would offer similar contribution/maybe fit even better to the manager for less money. If he wants to stay anybody trying to push him out, should walk away first, by that I mean Jose.
Please Jose.
I rate Pogba that highly that I consider when he plays well and like he should do, he lifts the team to another level. I know it's unfair pressure but we all want him to be the leader of this bunch, maybe that''s why we are all so harsh on him.
Replacing him is not something I would like to see, I want him to stay and based on talent and what he can offer I'm not sure there are many who could offer more.
Typical Chelsea of late signing.
Midtable defender at best for me. Won't be shedding a tear over whoever signs him once it's not us.
Meunier linked to Juve in Belgian papers. We could do worse than him.
If we must sell Martial, this guy should be the number one name on the list to replace him. I'd rather Tony stayed though, I love the man.
He plays as a right winger? Martials future should have no bearing on him. If he's good enough then we should sign him, our right flank is quite embarrassing.
Would love us to keep Martial and buy Bailey, our counter attack could be lightening. Unfortunately, the links a while ago were Bailey to Chelsea, which I could see happening. I think they'll offload William this summer and sign someone younger.
So instead of signing the younger one, we might just go and sign another ex- Jose established player?
He means from the perspective that Martial's only real chance of a regular place in the starting XI is on the right while Sanchez has got the left tied down so when Martial is sold it makes sense to sign Bailey as he fits our weakest place in the front line.
It definitely wouldn't surprise me tbh, Jose has always been a big fan of Willian. Personally I wouldn't mind Willian, I think he's a consistent performer and would do exactly what Jose wants. Would also allow us to bed Chong, Gomes etc in over the next few seasons also.

Looks like this is what is going to happen
Didn't work out too badly when Chelsea got Bakayoko and we got Matic?
That's a shame, would have been great for our counter attack. But buying Bailey would've meant the end of Martial, as trying to give Martial, Rashford and Bailey enough minutes would've been a tough task. We need to focus on getting the best out of Alexis on the RW, hopefully Chong will get cup games next season too.
He's two footed and can go either way. Also, if Martial leaves, it'll leave the LW spot free for Sanchez, though it doesn't look like it'll make a difference, it's his either way.
I am not really going on about his quality, he is good. It is the age, that he is 29, 30 in August. We are signing for the here and now, then yet again him and Matic will need replacing. Instead of building for the future.
I just hope he is going to go younger at fullback otherwise if Pogba and Martial go this team is going to get rather elderly.
Willian strikes me as one of those brazilians like cafu, ze Roberto who play on into their mid thirties.
I'd be happy with Willian for attack, he's more consistent than Bailey - while at the same time fullbacks are the key to improve our wing play.
I see where you're coming from.
I think Jose prefers those dependable players over the ones who could blow hot and cold. Even Fergie was like that to an extent. 7/10 consistently rather than a player who could be a 9/10 one week, and a 5/10 the next.
That's generally why he favoured Valencia over Nani.
Italy would be nice to go to but I think they can do better than me.
