That's how they operate. Fabregas, Coutinho - you name it.
Atleast Madrid are pretty upfront about these things.
There's no way that offer was made with any expectations of us excepting it, literally only done to rock the boat and destabilise Pogba's position at the club. Classic Barca tactics.
we should do Shaw + Darmian + Jones + Rojo + 20m for O. Dembele
We are fecked.
He WILL push to leave...
Barca have until the end of August to make transfers too right?We are fecked.
He WILL push to leave...
Knock down fee ? He is not going below 150m atleast for the next 2 yearsYep, this is all building up towards trying to get him for a knock-down fee next summer.

I don't think you'll sell him though. He's not just a player, he's a huge asset commercially. Surely your board will realise how much they lose by letting him go.
Gomes is a good looking lad.Of course they do. His face is used in practically all our advertising he's our poster boy, the cash cow, every level of the club knows how valuable he is to us on and off the pitch.
Offer more money in wages to Pogba than Barcelona could afford, and withold larger bid offers from Barcelona because we aren't Liverpool and don't need the money as much as they do.
Yeah if they are gonna give us a player that will have to replace pogba which they can't. Do see this deal happening in this day when we can credibly ask for 200m plusNot sure they can do it, which might be why they are trying to cobble a cash plus player deal. If somebody is going to do that offer better players than you have.
We have all the power, and are not in any sort of position where we need to sell. It's just not happening.
I mean you got 150m for coutinho so we could realistically hold out for 200m plus which they can't afford. These offers are very clearly just games to get him to force a move. Even coutinho couldn't do that thoI'm not sure there are wages you could offer Pogba that Barca couldnt match, I mean just check how much they pay their best players.
Also Coutinho was not sold because we needed money. It was because he made it clear he wanted to leave and was refusing to play. If Pogba would do the same I'd be shocked if you didnt want rid.
When you said they shouldnt be messing with a big club like United I genuinely thought you had something in mind. The reality is that at any club if the player is unsettled or wants away (we'll see with Pogba but a bid only comes in if a player is interested) then it becomes unfeasible to keep him around.
We have all the power...
He has just won the world cup, we are shit, he has fallen out with the manager (who is a busted flush) and one of the best teams in the world want him. Oh and his agent is infamous for moving players.
If he wants to go he will, him and his agent will pull every trick the the book.
Oh well, we have McTominay.
I would not be selling Pogba, you build your team round him. Also don't agree with Jamie Redknapp much, but he is right that Jose took easy option picking Valencia as captain, when it should be Pogba.

What a terrible offer.
Maybe they throw in a roll of Pringles next to up their bid?

Pogba and Martial for Willian and Bakayoko?
