Paul Pogba

Hell of a lot of revisionism going on in this thread. He's gone from world class to overrated on these pages... and it has nothing to do with this match.
He's not coming here? Well, fuck him then. We'll move on. No point moaning about what could have been.

We have the best damn manager in the world, have signed a couple of belting players to add to our already impressive squad, and we'll sign more soon.
No need to concern ourselves with that lot across the road. We're better than that. And we've STILL got a better team than them, Pogba or not.

We should be going into the new season with optimism. Because we're going to be exceptional under Pep. Not a doubt in my mind.

Exactly, it's not like Kroos has done anything this game to make him stand out but he's still worth 50 million pound more than Pogba because we're linked with him now... rightttt.

This 100%
Even when we had lee Bradbury or Gerry creaney I could give a toss what they were up to or who they were signing .
Just Kevin keegan style loved it when they lost

Because he's the most sought after midfielder in the world right now and probably the best player around that's attainable. We can do what the rags do and pretend we didn't want him anyway and that he's crap and overrated but that's just wrong. It will be similar to letting Chelsea get Hazard or when RVP went to United, only this time there's every reason to believe there's something we could actually do about it as you have to imagine he'd prefer City over United.

Dont you think if we wanted him, we would be after him? Don,t you believe Pep doesn,t want him, is that your issue?

Some right softarses on here to be honest, how many times have we posted ragcafe and its flapping threads, when were linked to a player, and we go and return the favour.
Is pogba better than elbows mata and the like, of course he is by a country mile but Christ lads he ain't fuckin messi and he ain't all that full stop, we should be revelling in the fact that a lad they had on their books is about to cost then circa 200 million of their hard borrowed cash, think about it fellas, 200 mill spunked up the wall and he's missed the last two or three seasons where he could of had a team built around him and the rag twats would have 200 mill to spunk elsewhere, rejoice boys it's a monumental fuck up and surely the costliest mistake in football ever.

THIS!

If they are gonna pay such sums to get a player back like that then let them pay. I would be unhappy if they got Kroos but i have no truck with them willing to simply pay whatever camp Pogba demands. If they got Kroos it would show their prestige is restored, atm it is a cash only deal with them and a chance of cl next year. Buying pogba would demonstrate what i already know, they can juggle finances pretty well and would not speak to much of their allure as a top club.
 
It's more than a bit disingenuous that some people are questioning his ability now that he's being closely linked with United. The mooted transfer fee is hugely inflated, of course, but his talent is not in any doubt. He's an exceptional player who would greatly improve any team.

I think FFP isn't dead (especially considering the knock on effect his huge wasge demands would have on what other players would start asking for) and we have a lot of rebuilding to do within a huge but not unlimited budget. Of course Pogba would make us better but that would be blowing a huge wedge. Maybe the thinking is Kroos and two new fullbacks will make us even better.

I don't think anyone's doubting his ability, just discussing his weakness if he's played in a MF 2, it leaves him exposed and out of his comfort zone.

I think Pep would prefer Kroos than Pogba if you offered both for the same price.

Both are incredible, but Kroos is the most pep player currently playing, he's the perfect player for him.

And having the conductor in the team familiar with Guardiolas tactics could shave months off our "adapting" period next season.

Yeah, I agree with that mate. I was referring to some of the more hyperbolic criticisms in the thread!
