There's more to it than that, wherever Mourinho's been he's always had an aggressive ball winning CDM, Matic, Essien, Makelele to name a few. Matuidi along with Kante foot the bill and are the type of player he's still missing to play his system, Pogba is a luxury player and if Mourinho plays his usual 4-2-3-1 with Zlatan up top and you'd presume he's looking at Rooney being centre of the 3 pushing up to support and play alongside Zlatan, where does that leave Pogba if he signs?

The signings and system Mourinho plays it's a Matuidi/Kante type player he's missing, not Pogba

Which begs the question: Where would Pogba play if he were to join us? KDB is our unanimous no.10 and is much better at that position than Pogba. I'm guessing the midfield 2 with Gundogan then if we were to play 4-2-3-1?

I would take Pogba as my No1 choice from what is available, even though I don't see him as a perfect Guardiola player (we actually have my original No1 choice in that respect: Gundogan).

But I'm not convinced he will ever be at the same level as Yaya, even though I agree, the comparison is not a good one.

So let's compare him to a young Gerrard. Not fit to lace Gerrard's boots imo. 120 mil is ludicrous.

But not as ludicrous as 60 mil for Kroos. Neither is worth half what the rumoured rate is imo but the market is stupid. What a bargain we have with Gundogan.

Completely agree about Gundogan, easily the signing I'm most looking forward to seeing play. With regards to fees thoug; the money talked about is ridiculous but that's not going to change any time soon and I can only see fees continuing to skyrocket.

The Gerrard comparison is a much better one in terms of both players being determined to play Hollywood passes and long range attempts. I think Pogba's a fantastic player - although inconsistent at this stage - and I certainly wouldn't mind having him in the squad. However, I do feel like he'd have less of an impact for us than he would for them down the road.

I think he's a class player. In the £60m bracket IMO. However if he want's Pep, this might be his only chance. Could New York be Pep's destination post Manchester??

Haha, no fucking chance. The MLS is a joke. Why would he take such a backwards step in his career? He'll go to Serie A to someone like Juve or Inter.

This is why I'm not overly fussed with not getting him, where would he fit?

Don't get me wrong, Pogba would be a great asset to any Club but as we know Pep looks at the overall squad/team effect. I think once Gundogan signed it pretty much told us that Pogba would be a non-starter, especially with the ridiculous money involved. I can see Gundogan/Dinho partnership if a 4-2-3-1 system is played which I think is more balanced, I certainly expect to see 3-1-2-1-3 next season at times with Dinho in front of the 3 and able to drop in to make a 4 if needed.

One thing is for sure Pep is very flexible with his systems along with who he's got at his disposal which will be a breath of fresh air to us City fans, the total opposite to Mourinho rigid 4-2-3-1 or at times 4-5-0
 
Real Madrid ended interested according to SSN. If true, that certainly changes things for a few clubs.
 
If Pogba goes to a club who aren't even good enough for the Champions League, then it confirms he isn't as good as the hype.
