Seen a lot on the twitterverse that a lot of United fans are saying they got the better deal out of Pogba then we have from Stones and Sterling?
They've got an extremely good player for a big transfer fee, but on the terms of who got the better deal?
Well, Stones and Sterling are two players we've never had, two players we desperately needed to strengthen that position, and two players we don't currently own with that amount of potential, so a combined total of £91.5M (potentially rising to a combined total of £99M based on add ons), then you think fair enough it's a big investment on two players for strengthening your squad.
Now as for Pogba, he's obviously been the name on everyone's radar, he's excelled at Juventus and made people take notice so you'd think £89M was unavoidable? However this was a player united allowed to leave for £800,000, a player who felt at the time he was ready for team action, but instead they brought Scholes out of retirement and pushed Pogba back into the reserves....
"Paul Scholes had retired, Darren Fletcher was injured. There was no one left to play in midfield. And I was training and I was beginning to get better bit by bit and the coach never stopped telling me, 'You're this far'.
"And I didn't understand. This far away from what? Playing? From having some playing time? From getting on the field? Or what?
"And there was Rafael in midfield and I was disgusted. I was disgusted and I didn't get on either."
Now they've resigned a player who showed this potential 5 years ago for £89M, money they could have easily avoided to spend... so to say they got the better deal is a stretch depending on which way you look at it.... ability wise yes they got the better player for the position he plays in, but for overall what it's cost them for one player, a player which they already owned 5 years ago? It's debatable.
