A hypothetical question to the 156 of you who voted 'no' on the poll.

If I had £100M and knew that whichever player I would bid this amount of money for, would end up at Manchester United, I would, without doubt, use the lot on Pogba.
Who would you buy?

And none of this "but £100M could get us Verratti and Griezmann" please, cause it fecking couldn't!

If we could sign any player for 100m, who would I pick?

Messi or Neymar, probably. Both would cost more irl so it'd be a bargain too.

They mad they ain't famous
They mad they're still nameless
Their manager in the store tryna try his best
But he just can't seem to get Jose fresh
But we still world famous
Yeah we still world famous

P.S. Beyonce had the greatest video of alll time. OF ALL TIME!
 
Sure Juventus are the best club in Italy, but that is like winning a competition to be the youngest in a retirement home. Its not exactly difficult.
 
Here's something I don't understand here.

Why are we going after a player who's not willing to play for us even to this day? If he prefers to eventually go to Spain, why should we get him as part of our spine only to lose him in a season or two? Why don't we just go after a player who'll want to play for us in the first place rather than go for someone who wants to use us as a stepping stone to Spain?

If we need to get a midfield to become part of the spine of our team, we may as well go for someone who wouldn't break that spine in a season or 2.
 
Hey, Juventuz...

If even Real baulk at the price, you know it's mad.

I just hope they put in some Messi/Neymar-esque buy out clause if we do land him as no doubt Real will come sniffing again when he's tearing it up at United.

Why? United will have CL football next season and one year without playing in the competition is not going to kill him.

Agreed! It would be very short-sighted of a player to turn United down for that reason. Still really irks me, that "must be playing CL football" line but that's the way it is now I guess.

This.

That league is a joke, frankly. What a decline.

Why is anyone talking about their fecking forun fans anyways? Who cares.

I explained above. In the second case scenario (i.e. if Madrid don't sign him this summer and he stays at Juve) he could move next summer to his preferred option then. Should he move now to United, he blocks the dream move to La Liga for 4 years at least. Why do this? For more money? But he will get a ot of money to stay for another year at Juve too and he could get a lot of money next summer when he eventually moves. Next year he will have more options to choose from.

In other words, the options are not Madrid or United. Staying at Juve for another season is a very good option for him.

Well if he ultimately wants to play for Madrid then he can feck off! Don't want him if that's the case.

I understand why you would say any of those, but why pick a player in a position we're actually well stocked in? Of course both of them would be an upgrade, but is it in the attacking line we really need this upgrade?
Pogba is, at least in my book, arguably the best in the world in his position, and it's excatctly that position I would want us to strengthen. And on top of that he's only 23 years old!
 
they are quite deluded to think the Premier League is the best league still, or that it is even better than Serie A. it was the best at some point, between 05 and 10, but clearly not anymore. this Juventus would walk over any team from that league if they met, and thats not because they would be tired of playing Stoke City the weekend before. teams have no structure, they play some crazily stupid brand of football, their tactical level is that of a Serie C club. they keep attracting great international players due to having the most money, but they still fail miserably in Europe each year. La Liga is clearly the strongest league currently, followed by Serie A and BL, only then comes EPL and Ligue 1. those are facts and as soon as they accept it, they will live happier lives

Last Five Years:
Juventus: 2011-12: N/A; Serie A best: Quarter-Finals (EPL best: WINNERS)
Juventus: 2012-13: Quarter-Finals (EPL best: Round of 16)
Juventus: 2013-14: Group Stages (EPL best: Semi-Finals)
Juventus: 2014-15: Final (EPL best: Round of 16)
Juventus: 2015-16: Round of 16 (EPL best: Semi-Finals)

EPL 3-2 Serie A.

Men lie, women lie, but numbers never lie.

EPL has outperformed Serie-A in Champions League. I don't get how they can talk big. Step your game up, Juventuz.

If Real Madrid where in for Mkhitaryan, Bailly or Zlatan the chances are that they would like to play for Real. DDG wants to play for them. If you asked most players in the world they would want to play for them. So you are saying we shouldn't sign and players that want to play for them so just buy average one that will never have the ability to?
 
I'm weary of Pogba.

Serie A is soooo shit, man. It makes Mohammed Salah look like a quality player, when he was dross at Chelsea. And Cuadrado? He couldn't do shit.

Look how shit Pogba looks outside that shit League at the Euros. Bang average. Even the Welsh Xavi outperformed him. Not to mention Lionel Alli.
 
Jesus, could we tone it down what some other forum is saying? Why would anyone give a toss what some scandinavian Juve fan has to say about us.

Not all kids ”choose” their league; favourite players in WC/Euros, family background, players from your own nation, random moments in football history etc. can make a difference in becoming a fan of a club and/or league.
 
dont know why they are being so pissy. They could buy another ten league titles with what we are offering.
 
Juventus is a great team tbf. In world football, they are a team that many people know. They remind me a lot of Rosenborg in Norway.
 
Now you see why Pogba is not a 100m player. He just can't dominate and take the game onto him. He floats around, a pass there, a pass here, but he's not really "in" the game and putting his mark down...

Edit: watch him now score a screamer from 40 yards

Aye. If he's a 100mill player in todays climate, whats a 25 year old Messi worth? 300mill?

Yeh but he'll be playing with Schweinsteiger not against him.
 
Wouldn't Pogba be a lot easier to get than Kroos? The former has history and ties to the club and area whilst the latter has history and ties with the head of our nearest enemy.

It's not Pogba, it's France. When Griezmann can't play a simple 5 yard pass how is Pogba supposed to dominate a game? You'll notice the aforementioned Griezmnann, Payet etc all are playing absolute shit at the moment too.

Equally that Ronaldo looks shit too, just goes to show how weak that Spanish league is :)

Ozil
Loris
Koschielny
Giroud
Payet

National competitions are not that high a level. Watch the champions league to see how good we are.

Griezmann can't influence Pogba's display. I watch him today and he's not taking enough influence or responsibility. This has always been my main issue with him

You miss my point, how do you 'dominate' a game when no one else in the team can do anything right? What's he supposed to do so with the ball exactly? What he is supposed to when no one seems capable of passing it to him?
 
Only a real game changer and ridiculously good goal scorer should be worth anything like that amount, Pogba is fantastic at times but he's neither of those really, still want him though but shame it can't be for a bit less.
 
Pogba looks good because of Serie A. He's average at best.

My feelings exactly. I want him here but he's worth nowhere close to that amount and it's not just because of money, it's because he isn't as good as he's made out to be. I'd also add CMs that absolutely run games to that list btw. The Modrics of this world.
