Agree regarding Welbeck but not Pogba. The kid has proved some of the ability that people knew he had. He would add a lot of quality into our play. Why should we 'just move on'? Not sure what the thinking is. A midfield trio of Di Maria Carrick and Pogba would be quality.

If Welbeck improves and becomes a super player at Arsenal, we should sign him too, IMHO. Pogba has shown a lot of promise, he's a good player and if we want him, we'll sign him back. Chelsea signed Matic after selling him cheaply.
Personally, I think Pogba is just teasing to get a good contract. Juve are not exactly a big selling point at the moment and knowing his agent, he's already hawking his client to multiple clubs. These sort of interviews help him to be on the spotlight.
With this man as his agent, it's more likely his contract will be run down and he'd leave for cheap to PSG or Real in return for a hefty sum of money for the agent.
We love you too, Pogba.
Van Gaal loves him too.
"Pogba is in a category of his own. Paul's physically strong, very fast and technically superb," he explained.
"I don't know many players with all these qualities.
"He's the type of player who could fit in any team in the world."

He actually eats the clients that dont obey him, by all accounts.

I'd agree, although there's not a lot to suggest with Welbeck right now that he's going to be all that much better at Arsenal than he was here, and he was deemed surplus to requirements here. Pogba may be teasing for a big contract, but if that contract is offered elsewhere, he probably won't hesitate to take it. Unfortunately, Real Madrid strikes me as the most likely destination for him.
You can bet your house that Pogba and the Italian mafia agent are going to use our interest in him as a way to get a bigger deal at Madrid or City. If he comes to England then City will offer Juve Yaya Toure, Jovetic and crazy wages to land him. But perhaps he'll fancy Madrid. I think they are the only two clubs that he will consider signing for....would love to see him here though.....but Sneiderlin and Strootman in the summer are much more realistic for us now

Raiola will surely want him back at United for obscene amount of money. Nothing else can make him bigger, nothing else has the potential to be the bigger story, the bigger success, the bigger $$ for everyone involved.
You're the last thing we think about at night and the first thing we think about in the morning, Paul xx
I agree with that, as much as we hate it, Pogba is already one of the top midfielders in the world everything he does just oozes class and hes still an absolute baby. He's an absolute guarantee to be one of the best players in the world for a long time provided he doesnt get a career ending injury.
Will he finally move to top league to prove he is one of the most overrated players in the world?
Pogba has everything in his locker to be the best in the world. As a Juve supporter I have watched quite a lot of him.
He has been our best player in a lot of games this season carrying us at times on his own.
Then there are the games where he is just trying too hard and trying really tough passes when there is a much simpler option on and losing possession unnecessarily.
He will go for close to 100 million when he inevitably leaves us I believe, he will be worth every penny of it though as I'm sure he will be the best in the world at some point in his career.

Also he's skilled in 5-3-2.
Can he play wing back?
Pogba Finally he is coming home. A Mancunian through and through
Finally he is coming home. A Mancunian through and throughAm I the only one who doesn't think he'll go to City?
You don't say you love United if you plan to move to City in 6 months, do you?

I'm worried more about Juve's board and their hard negotiation stance as always.
Good point.
We'll have to grab their leftback too. Whoever that is.
Michael Owen and Alan Smith came to United. Of course he would go to City. It's a job.
He's the kind of midfielder United badly need.
Just not sure about his character.
Just not sure about his character.
Owen wasn't professing his love for Liverpool before he came here. Alan Smith I'll give you, but he'd just been relegated iirc.
Owen and Smith were both in desperate situations, kind of. One didn't have a club and jumped at the chance of any to club being interested and one had the choice of championship or champions. Obvious choices in both cases.
Pogba won't be desperate, he'll have his pick. Whoever offers the most is where he ends up, imo.
I'm not sure Pogba is the midfielder we need. Schneiderlin/Vidal/Strootman should be the targets, players who give their all!
That's my point.
Just keep spending money 'til we're alright again, f*ck it.
C'mon. I thought we had already moved over him!
We had. We're back now. You break up with an ex, you think you've done the better thing, but the ex becomes hotter in her new relationship. After a few years she professes her love for you and her current relationship is on the rocks. Who wouldn't want someone like that back?
Actually, that analogy makes Pogba sound like a slut.
I think he'll fo for half that, and that would be a good transfer fee. I think he's very good, but 100M? Nah.
EDIT: unless you're talking in former Italian lira?
Based on reputation, 35-50 million I reckon. Noone spends 80-100 million on a central midfielder.
Would he qualify as home grown / trained at club if he moved back here?
If yes I'd definitely bring him back here for 50m! Hell even if he isn't i'd bring him back here. Mistake corrected!

£50m anyway. Ronaldo/Bale money goes on Ronaldo and Bale type players and goal scorers from a non striker position. As good as he is and his potential we should snatch him up now, his value will only rise the better he gets,until he's 24-25 anyway.
If he's saying this now, he's looking for a better contract or looking to get away. Either way, we need to be on it.
He's far too young and too good to leave alone. And he has unfinished business here.

Didn't he sign one last year?
I'm not sure for definite, but I think it'd be unlikely. Doubt a player can qualify if they leave a club and then return in the future, but it's a good question nevertheless.
He literally signed one a few months ago. Allegri has said that he won't be going this month but he doesn't know what will happen in the summer. Everything points to him leaving then and I think we will be in with a shout.
Nope, the rule states the player has to have been here for 3 entire seasons/36 months. He was three months away from having that status and so didn't fulfill either condition. Wouldn't change my mind on any potential transfer though.
He certainly is homegrown at club for Man Utd at Football Manager 2015.
But will that work? with demands from his existing club and agent.
