Debt never came into FFP, everyone knows it was all a farce drawn up by The Rags Confederation of Europe (Trafford Rags, Bavarian Rags, Madrid Rags etc.) to stave off new money. It was all about "not spending beyond your means" which is farcical in itself as it completely fails to acknowledge debt. Their income vs. expenditure allows them to spend that much under the rules of FFP, but I'm not even sure EUFA care for FFP now as they completely failed in their aims. UEFA 0 - 1 Manchester City F.C.

Surely the fact we can't compete for Pogba, because our budget is restricted by FFP means the reverse of your last line?
 
This thread is spectacular.

If Pogba goes across town why don't we just give them the title and have a concert series on Saturdays or something, instead of bothering with competitive football. Maybe meet up and talk about needlepoint... make a plan for how to build a new team and stage a comeback when Pogba retires in 2027. I'll bake cookies.

Or take all the money7 you'd spend on season tickets etc and everyone goes to Europe. Marseille maybe?
 
Seriously, there's no shame in saying he'd be a drastic improvement on their midfield and therefore I hope he doesn't go there. Doesn't mean I'm flapping, it's just common sense.

Interesting how much the general consensus has changed since we distanced ourselves from him.

Maureen will coach all the flair out of him before he knows it but yes he would improve them
 
So; that's Pogba, Aubameyang and Laporte (all alleged targets for us) that, for whatever reason, we haven't managed to close out deals for. The window isn't exactly turning out how I was hoping. So far. Still hopeful we can bring in another couple of new faces before the start of the season.

Perfectly fair. Great player, great signing for them if they pull it off.

There are a lot of people in this thread not as adept at keeping their shit together as you, though. The number of folks laying down their swords and accusing our own club of failing to bolster the ranks is high comedy. Not sure if it's a new thing or if the same people were freaking out when Chelsea signed Hernan Crespo, but it seems like a really stressful way to navigate life.
 
Last year when we missed out on Pogba we got Delph.

Let's hope we have a better plan B in place because a good but injury prone Gundogan isn't enough on his own to improve our aging midfield.
 
I believe City pulled out, his agent has brought in the Rags to get the best deal out of RM - Just can't see him going there.

If he does then yes he will probably improve them but when I've seen him play he is very unpredictable - moments of brilliance - sometimes tries to hard gives away possession .

Although they would e paying absolute top level money he isn't anywhere near a Ronaldo / messi etc.

I still believe we will be better which would rub it in even more if the rags can't win the league spending 100 mill on players
 
If he does end up at the Meccano set, will that put the rumoured deal for Kroos in jeopardy then? If RM don't get Pogba, they're hardly likely to let Kroos go.

I guess some people who were understandably excited when it looked like (and were told by a couple of respected posters) he would sign for us now feel a bit let down. I'm not going to pretend I wasn't disappointed but he's not a player we need.
 
Young up and coming French star wants to play for French legend and icon of France.
It's a no brainer really.
Also why would you swap playing in the champions league for the Europa league?
Again it's a no brainer.
All the rags on here are creaming their pants as they think the deal is done.
Could "we didn't want him anyway " please make your way to the pogba thread please!!
 
Surely the main issue with the possibility of United getting Pogba is the implications on a deal for Kroos?
