Matuidi along with Kante are both Mourinho "type" players

Mourinho is a brilliant manager - would have been my choice if we hadnt got Pep.
I guess he's not going for Matic then

Where did you here Pep wanted him though ?

The press asked him when he was at Bayern whether he wanted Pogba at City and he point blank just said something like, as long as the club are willing to sign him.

Can't quite remember exactly what he said, but it was along those lines.

Matuidi would fit mourinhos system better than Pogba

Pogba would be limited in the 2

United will seemingly play Rooney as a 10 as they've signed the walking nose

Pogba will prefer Real imo

I remember thinking how Pogba would fit our system last summer. I wanted him because he's shiny and new but no matter how I tried to fit him in, he was a problem. I know, a player like Pogba being a problem!

But you try fitting him into our system and see how it goes. Midfield 2? Pointless, too good. So, the only thing you can do to utilise his strengths is a mid 3 in a 4-2-3-1. We've got Kev. Who would you rather have in that position?

Agree mate, Pogba isn't a patch on Kev in the no10 role

I think at the moment it is 50/50. Balague seems to think that Madrid have abandoned the race due to the astronomical fees.

I do think Pogba is really pushing for the Madrid move, but his agent Mino Raiola is really pushing for Man Utd due to the 25 million he will earn from this deal. I really do feel that agents ruin the game, they aren't putting their clients best interests at heart, they are putti their best interests at heart. It isn't Mino Raiola that will be living in Manchester and playing for United in the europa league, that is Pogba. He needs to make a decision for himself, this is a career defining move and to be perfectly honest, will he ever win a champions league with Man Utd? I doubt it. Bale who turned down Utd for Madrid has won 2. Proof is in the pudding.

If Utd do get Pogba though, it will be a fantastic signing and will spell danger for city and the rest of the premier league. The day we finished in 4th place was the day we all laughed out loud, but I think in a way Utd finished 5th could prove to be a blessing in disguise. They aren't resting on their laurels in the market, they are takig very aggressive approach and are paying whatever it takes to get back up to the top again. I feel that because we have champions league, we are resting on our laurels and thinking that because we have pep and champions league we don't have to pay over the odds. Had we of finished in 5th place, we might have done the same and whipped out the chequebook and been more ruthless because we don't have anything else to offer for players.

The fact is, if you don't pay the big bucks nowadays, you won't get the player. Real Madrid with all their history and prestige have had to overpay for years, it is no different with any other side. I wish City had the same drive in the market as our rivals are showing because if we did, we would absolutely PISS the league.

Raiola is a real cancer to football.

I really don't see how Pogba would choose United over Madrid, other than for the attraction of playing under Mourinho. Even if Madrid fails to bid, I can't see how Pogba would drop Juventus, a club who has more potential to win the CL than United - a club that dropped him in the first place.

The difference between 4th and 5th is when you're 5th, you can throw all the money you want, doesn't mean the player's gonna sign for you. We are paying over the odds - 40m-50m for John Stones doesn't sound like "over the odds"?

I'll be the first then.

I wanted him before the Euro's thought he'd be the young Yaya etc etc

After watching the Euro's this lad is not a patch on Yaya in his prime and I've not been that impressed.

He's a good player but not top drawer and certainly not £100m, anyone who thinks he is has been caught up with the fan boy hype and needs to have a word with themselves as I have now done with myself.
