I've said before I wonder if we're staying well clear UNTIL someone agrees a fee.
Got the impression we were all over this last summer, but Juve kept moving the goalposts on the fee.
Pep said at the City Live event: "the players have to be here to give something to the club, not just for what they can take out of the club". I would have liked Pogba but lets be honest, he'd choose Real/Barca/any club who pays him £300k a week.Baffling that we are not in for him. Seems as though their the only ones in the race

Imagine his pay rate in his late 20s like 500K a week :OPep said at the City Live event: "the players have to be here to give something to the club, not just for what they can take out of the club".

When the deal is worth upwards of £150mill it's not that baffling!
Yes but surely the aim should be to secure 1 "crack" player per season like MP said last season. We haven't done that so far although I am happy with who we have signed.

In fairness, most players who are talented enough will do the same if it's an option.Pep said at the City Live event: "the players have to be here to give something to the club, not just for what they can take out of the club".

How have Arsenal done well this off season?Personally, I think United like us Arsenal and Leicester have done well this off season. The addition of Zlatan, Mhkt, and Baieley covers Striker, Winger and defense. Adding Pogba will have given them an group addition reminiscent of what our Soriano claimed teams need to do every year to stay competitive. It may not work out for them as Zlatan can breakdown and Bailey is a bit of a risk. But it very well could. That is a good squad they have over there. And I expect them to compete for the title.
If they add Pogba, I think that takes them to one of the favorites to win the league.

I am not sure rags have " a lot of ground to make up" on us, we were ahead of them only on goal difference last season. If it had not been for our flying start, 5 wins in first 5 games, we would have finished mid-table. We should not underestimate them next season, with Mourinho they will have a lot of self belief. They have bought better than us so far and they look most likely to get Pogba.Pogba MIGHT make the rags favorites...if every other team stops signing players.
United have a lot of ground to make up, meanwhile I don't see Pep and some of the other competitors making do with what they've hauled in so far.
Kept their star players and Added Xhaka. All they need now is a Striker to Challenge Giroud. I think they'll get that in Lukaku or Lacazzette.How have Arsenal done well this off season?
If pogba signs for United, they will be favourites for the title.
I don't think United have that much ground to make up on anyone. We were basically tied on points. So we were equally as poor. We both had major injuries, and coaches who fans thought were poor.Pogba MIGHT make the rags favorites...if every other team stops signing players.

They will be better than last season,but no guarantee's the three players they have signed will be a success in the league,many a good player has failed to adjust to the demands of the premier league out of the three it's the fella from Dortmund who will be their key player for me,but the rags will be there challenging for the league..I am not sure rags have " a lot of ground to make up" on us, we were ahead of them only on goal difference last season.

Not in a million years mate. Pogba IF IF IF!!!! he goes, will not turn the other 10 players in to world beaters. Quite a lot said the same when di maria signed! how did that pan out?If pogba signs for United, they will be favourites for the title.
