This is different though. Pogba was a player lost, not a player Ferguson consciously wanted to sell. They just didn't do enough to keep him. I am talking about the right time to make a conscious choice to sell players and both Ferguson and Wenger have done this very well. Not perfect, but players like Van Nistlerooy, Henry, Adebayor (attitude not age related). Selling while there is still value. This is most likely our last chance to get an 8 figure fee for Yaya and use the freed wages on a player(s) to build a new cycle. We'll still have plenty of veterans. Yaya is a quality but declining player who even at his very peak was exposed in the high tempo European games. Just remember Gundogan and Bender making him look second rate. We face the possibility of having the most expensive squad player in history if his deterioration accelerates and we're stuck with him until 2017. Or worse, feeling obligated to play him when he declines because of his wages and reputation.

just fancied a change. been thinking about it for a while.A bit off topic, but what's with everyone changing usernames?
It seems like new forum, new usernames, similar to the same way everyone has a new haircut on the first day of high school.
Or are you sick of being stalked by the haters of 'he who's name shall not be mentioned' for fear of sending BM into meltdown? Lol :-)

Kompany and Zabs were crap as well. As was Hart the year before.
Let's get rid of all our best players and keep all the ones who aren't good enough :)
Difference being that they all tried at least and didn't look as if they were on strike on the pitch. They also didnt't have this absolute arsehole of an agent spouting shit in the media nonstop. And last but not least they aren't 32 either

If we're being totally honest, the loathsome jock **** was pretty good at winning trophies as well.Ferguson sold Pogba and brought Scholes out of retirement. He kept Rio around long after his use by date. All he was good at was getting rid of players who challenged his ego or authority.
Keeping Toure is an inspired move IMO and will make it more likely that we will land Pogba.

I think we've seen the best of Yaya, 13/14 season. No doubt he's a cracking player when he can be bothered.
My problem with him is, those games are too few and far between. I'd like him to stay and put the effort in
we saw 13/14. But then i'm an idealist, but can't see that happening.
