The reality of the last 7 years are simply the club has flirted with a top 4 position, a few decent cup runs winning 3 out of 4 finals in 7 years and the loyalists amongst quoting the 2 community shield wins as 2 of the 5 trophies the club has won in that period. For the record our average position is 4.8 in the PL during that period!
Our transfer policy has been woeful, scattergun, throw money at it, find a fading Superstar who may come good like RVP did under Sir Alex but the reality is most of our new recruits do not understand the club and join soley for money.
Pogba does but is far too inconsistent and certainly No Ronaldo for us not to consider £150M transfer Fee(Plus make them throw in Marcelo), it makes complete sense however we can not let De Gea and Rashford go as well so sign the other 2 up on fat new contracts and sell Pogba.
Hear me out for a moment, £200M+200M(Pogba, Sanchez, Darmian, Rojo, Baily, Herrera, Mata, Valencia) and resetting the wage bill structure with probably only D De Gea on £350k per week allows the club to rethink it's strategy while probably playing Europa League Football and allowing more of our youth like Greenwood, Angel, Taith and Axel to develop as much as it pains me to say!
Now armed with £400M Transfer Budget and hopefully having learned lessons from our previous mistakes we can buy PL proven footbballers who are obtainably, young British players who understand the size of the club and know that part of United's DNA is to always play youth and give youth a Chance and then 1 or 2 of the very best World Class players in their position.
Therefore we could sell or release 7 players and bring in the following 8;
T Audeweireld - PL proven/30 - £25M
W Bissaka - PL Proven/British/20 - £40M
K Koulibaly - Elite in Position/ 27 - £90M
Marcelo - Fading but LB Back up/ 31 - Free
A Dacoure - PL proven / 26 - £40M
D Rice - PL Proven /British/ 19 - £50M
C Eriksen - PL Proven/Elite/ 27 - £75M
(Only has 1 year left on contract, wages are less than 100k per week obtainable!)
J Sancho - Elite / British/ 19 - £80M
Of course something like this is never going to happen but I do believe if 6 players from this list or similar calibre of player were to be signed most people would be more than ok with Pogba being Sold!
