Transfer Rumours The Summer Transfer Rumour Thread 2016

Didn't think he was any worse than Muller.

 

Man Utd will always have the biggest global fanbase unless they drop off a cliff. Liverpool are still in the elite global brands despite not being any good for years and years. (decade(s))

Man Utd could have Adkins as manager and the Barnet reserves playing for a decade and they would still be in the top few giant clubs in world football.

 

So would many of us United fans mate, believe me

 

Really? Why? He's arguably the best midfielder in the world.

 

Very arguably

 

He's a world class player and he will become the best player in the world IMO.

 

Long way to go to

 

He isn't worth the money they are paying.

 

He is in today's market. He's young and he's a superb player.

 

It's the fee that is the main issue, whilst Pogba obviously has qualities, he isn't a proper game changer like a Messi/Ronaldo/Suarez type. I'm sure he will be come one of the best in the world, but at the moment he is too inconsistent and floats in and out of games too much.

 

Not really, £60M max.

 

What Joey said

He is a very good player for his age, is he worth anything like £100m, no.
Is there players as good or better out there who can do the same job a lot cheaper, yes.

Pogba may become one of the best in the world as he is still young enough to improve, if that is the case he may be worth the fee (in a couple of years time). I would have preferred at this point that we had bought Kante (if he can do it for more than one season).
Jose has stated that he has given the club 3 choices for each of the 4 positions he wanted to strengthen, so far he has filled 3 of these positions with people off his list, I hope he gets to fill the fourth position from his list also as he says he is happy with any of the choices.

 

Serious question, have you ever seen him control/dictate a game from start to finish?

 

Even in today's market £100m is still a world record fee and for that you expect the best player in the world or at least very close. Pogba is worth about half of what people are talking about. He is relatively young so could get even better but not in the same price bracket as Suarez, Bale, Neymar. Will be good to see him in the premier league though.

 

Pelle was a dancer apparently and chose football

 

No apparently about it. He was a very good dancer and won competitions. He was first taught by his older sister after she needed a partner to practice with. He very nearly did choose to carry on with dancing, but football was his first love.

 

Thus me alluding to that.

There are exceptions to the rule of course JWP being another.

 

Having watched every Juventus match bar two (I think) in all competitions last season, I have seen Pogba control games from start to finish, yes. Some games he is just unplayable and can take on 3 players at once. He dances through the opposition's midfield like it's not there and pulls away with a Yaya Toure-esque stride. Is he worth £100m now? Not a chance, but you take a risk with this sort of player, with his talent and experience, at his age. If he was on the market for £50m then 10 clubs could easily be trying to sign him. There is immaturity in his game and in his decision making at times but he's still only 23.

 

Watford allegedly interested in Boufal. Maybe that's the big club he was waiting for.

 

Got to have a soft spot for a player who turned down a contract at ManU when young and will now cost them an arm and a leg.
