I hope you remember I changed my mind when it came to light his buyout clause is only £50m now and not £65m for another 2 years.
I do remember your absolute denial of Pogba going to the rags though last summer.
Also Milne joined a club and manager who agreed to play him CM, only a managerial change meant going to LB so unless you think Pep is heading somewhere I don't think it will wash.
Wonder if we could get players cheaper than both. Like say Ricardo Perreira or Benjy Henrichs. That would be something.I think it's time we all got our priorities straight... our whole back line is pretty much getting replaced next year, talk of Mbappe et al is fanciful (imo).. signings like that point towards the mythical messi money stashed away in professor plumbs boardroom... also, Fabinho will be cheaper than walker!!!
And folks don't think Pellegrino was a good manager :-)In 2013 the very same DoF bought Negredo, Navas, Fernandinho and Demichelis. All settled very quickly, all did well in their debut seasons, and all contributed massively to a league cup double.

We should also not buy too much into this segmented view of our squad. When the defense is weak, is often as much because the offense can't hold possession well or press well once we lose possession.
We can replace our backline and still have the same problem if the fwd and mids don't get the system.
Keeper and fullbacks I say. Then reevaluate from the top.
You didnt said that Fabinho is done mate ?
Fabinho has told his suitors he isn't interested in being played as a FB. United have told him via Mendes that he'll be Carrick's replacement and Pogba's partner in that midfield. I think he's going there mate unless we suddenly have a change of heart and promise him he'll only be a CM.
Or understanding of the fact that they play two different positions.
Jesus Christ. At this rate, rag cnuts are going to have the transfer window that we dreamt about. B. Silva, Fabinho and Griezmann (potentially) in one window would be huge.
I asked because of Billy post on him mate. Hope your source is right !Yeah was talking about Keepers in my last post

Well that is as conflicting as it gets, as I've been told that spot (CM) at the rags is already sewn up, nailed even, so if he is going there then it's a strange twist.... the strength of the coach will be at play this summer, personally, even though it's Mendez in the advisory role, it's fabinhos dad who pulls the strings (apparently)...
We'll see I guess!

I remember your backtrack, however, i think you'll find I kept my mouth shut on pogba after hearing to the contrary in June, billy was the 1st to tell me pre euros and that was that once the info was checked...
Now come on Dom, if you think James moved because he was promised cm then you're buying the greedy little ****s motives. There are no such things drawn in to contracts, only dollar signs!
Who are they getting in CM?
No trick, I'm sure Pep could point to Lahm and Alaba to show how his fullbacks aren't just fullbacks, but integral to the whole team including the midfield.The rags will offer him just as much money to play in his preferred position, I don't know why you think he's going to be fooled into playing a position he doesn't want to, or even that Pep would consider tricking a player into the squad on false pretences which seems to be what you're advocating.
I'm still waiting on this link @domalino

Resigning cleverly Zidane...'its the United way (:
