I think Pogba will end up at PSG. It suits their model (sign players on a free transfer with high wages). They will need a 'big' signing to appease fans when Mbappe leaves this summer.
There are numerous reasons why Pogba wouldn't end up at Barca, Madrid, Juve, and I don't see any big Premier League teams interested either. So where else does he go?
He either stays put or goes to PSG.

Two clinical goal scorers being signed. Our attack just got alot more scary for other teams
Spot on. If you think of the changes we had to make this weekend and then imagine Alvarez and Haaland starting and Jesus and Sterling being on the bench instead. Instantly it's a much better squad and much better prospects. It means Foden and Grealish can play more creative roles rather than in wider areas if needed as well.
The lack of pace in our midfield is always a bit of a concern when we start to look leggy. Bernardo works his socks off but he's not quick and when he's tired, as he was on Saturday, it is difficult for him to play that central role. Rodri can barely run at all. Gundogan can't either. De Bruyne can but you want him with less defensive responsibility and using his energy to drive forwards. Phil and Jack can cover the ground and could easily play more of a box to box role.
Bellingham is the man I'd love to see us sign though. Get him in as a replacement for Ferny and let him play a box to box role.
Pep likes a guy that switches off and stops running as soon as he gets even a little bit fed up? Pep likes a guy with zero tactical discipline but a giant, fuck off ego instead?Pep likes Pogba right? That's the only worry that city might say no but Pep might say yes.
I doubt it. Any praise Pep has offered Pogba during his second stint at United is purely Pep being Pep. Just as he’d say Accrington Stanley is a ‘tough, tough opponent’ if we played them.
Not a fucking prayer Pep wants Pogba anywhere near this squad. None.

I remain sceptical about Alvarez and whether we'll see much of him next year.
I know he'll be with the first team but so are the kids and they rarely get game time. I hope I'm wrong in this matter.
It's a huge step up from the Argentine League though.

If he's a replacement for Fernandinho won't he be signed to play as our 6, rather than box-to-box?Bellingham is the man I'd love to see us sign though. Get him in as a replacement for Ferny and let him play a box to box role.

If Bellingham comes it won't be this summer and it won't be as Fernadinho's replacement. My guess is it would be next summer to replace Gundogan.Spot on.

I thought this lad was more attacking than defensive but then I thought the same of Dinho before he came.
I think we'd have to break the British record with 2 years left on his contract so it's probably going to be a number of clubs bidding when he has one year left in 2024.If Bellingham comes it won't be this summer and it won't be as Fernadinho's replacement.

Jack of all sort of thing playing in a 343 - depends on the pairing in the middle.I thought this lad was more attacking than defensive but then I thought the same of Dinho before he came.

Going off what Tolm has said the lad wants to come here. Having quite a few england lads (especially Foden), hopefully having Halland and of course Pep will all be a factor.I think we'd have to break the British record with 2 years left on his contract so it's probably going to be a number of clubs bidding when he has one year left in 2024.
The lad looks like the perfect replacement for Gundo as long as the bidding doesn't go to high

Technical, Mobile and decent positional sense, Just has to move side to side instead of up and down. :)A more out and out 6 might be better suited but then this is pep we're talking about
Obviously wouldn't complain with Bellingham but I wonder what the price difference would be between him and Pedri- reckon it could be worth possibly splashing a bit more on Pedri if it's possible although obviously Barca would put up a huge fight and would be unlikely despite them desperately needing cash

Pedri will never leave Barcelona voluntarily. He and his family are all absolute fanatics, his dad has run one of their supporters clubs in Tenerife for yearsObviously wouldn't complain with Bellingham but I wonder what the price difference would be between him and Pedri- reckon it could be worth possibly splashing a bit more on Pedri if it's possible although obviously Barca would put up a huge fight and would be unlikely despite them desperately needing cash
