Criminally overrated and overpriced player, who wouldn't even improve our team much. Hopefully he stays at United and has another mediocre season under Mourinho.

Ditto. I'm so fucking confused by the reactions here. The WC hype is really getting to people here. He's so inconsistent for United and his positioning issues are absolutely enormous. Do you guys United? Their midfield gets overrun almost all the time and he's big reason for it, the guy makes no attempts to press or cut off passing lanes. He's a terrible box to box midfielder and if we want him as an AM, Coutinho fits that role anyways. It's a useless transfer.

I'll admit he had an amazing WC performance but let's remember, WC football is of lower quality and much slower than league football; he was also in pretty much the most stacked team talent wise in the entire tournament. Don't buy into the WC. I'd at least wait until he replicates it in the EPL.

United cant afford to trigger any of our big name players and its a 2 way thing, the player has to want to leave

If we wanted to we actually could fund it, plus doesn't have to be this summe but more about any future stars you have.. Doesn't matter, PSG and City kept their best players from other sides I doubt we will sell either him or DDG unless a ridiculous bid comes through especially this late.

well to be clear, i don't think theres any chance of Pogba coming to Barca, 0% this summer. our board making a ridiculous bid is more about our board being clowns than trying to offend United, they probably really believe this is a fair offer knowing Barto and his goons. PSG didn't buy Neymar as revenge for us chasing Verratti, iirc they were working on the deal way before the summer, the only delay was Neyney waiting for his loyalty bonus :lol:

I feel like Pogba would be a toxic personality in our locker room, don't really want him.

what makes you say that? I see him as a non-serious happy looking guy. Plus he's a huge admirer of Messi and I'm sure he'll behave as Neymar did. Raiola is the guy who's going to make our club toxic

Don't want him anywhere near our club.

Look at what is happening...that player is under a long term contract but his slimy agent is going behind the club's back and trying to broker deals for the player.

Remind you of anyone?

Stay as far away from guy as possible.

Our board are not being clowns, they're trying to take advantage of a great opportunity.
They've masted the dark arts of this business and we shall no longer be toyed with anymore.

You say there is a 0% chance, I say wait and see. :tito:

On a serious note though, we are on the cusp of having a complete overhaul of our midfield in the coming seasons. Arthur, Alena, and Riqui are all up and coming at practically the exact same time, we should at least give this new generation a chance to prosper before we splash this kind of money on a player we may or may not actually need.

Thats what I don't want, another Neymar, dab machine, its all about him, too much of a superstar, how can someone like Roberto be a captain to him? Of course I cannot know how he actually is but thats the vibe I get from him.

agree with this. I want quality in midfield (which i believe we have now) but i also want to see EV giving our youngsters a chance Puig and Alena etc. Vidal was probably Valverdes request, maybe this Pogba stuff is another smokescreen. an N'zonzi type as a sub for Busi would be a good move

Another Neymar you say. In that case what is the worst that can happen? You Win a treble with him then sell him for 200 mil?

What a stupid offer. If they are going to swap a player it should be Raki. Keeping Raki and getting Pogba makes no sense. Too many starters will affect youngsters playing time. I don't mind Raki+ money for Pogba but then this will be difficult cuz we don't know if Raki wants such a move. United high wages might tempt Raki.
