Bring him back, David. £10m is definitely above fair market value.

Criminal that Man U let a youth product like that walk. Agreed, they should absolutely buy him back.

seems not to be an immediate thing. plus, they still have sorted out Pirlo's future. no chance they lose both in the same offseason.

also, I doubt pogba would want to come back to ManU, though a new manager would help there some (on the other hand, he's not excellent a thrilling option for transfer targets)

It was mostly tongue-in-cheek. Although, I think that it'd be hilarious for them to make a huge bid to try to bring him back.

Didn't sound immediate to me, either. However, it did sound like an "offer we can't refuse" sort of thing. United may as well try to overpay for Pogba. It's not like they had a realistic transfer policy this past offseason.

Agreed. He would look good at Leeds. Bring back some of that poise they lost with Swaggrass.

It'd be a great signing for Leeds. He'd set you all up perfectly for failure again.

Are you tarded?


10m is a joke, it would have to be a substantial offer with pirlo leaving.

Substantial.

No shite. Like 1/4 of my posts are serious.

Did you not follow United's activity during the previous transfer window?

I think the deal with Pogba and Juve is that his agent is currently negotiating a new contract.

The reason Juve would listen to offers would be their reluctance to pay him more €3 to 4 million net a season through 2017.

If someone lured Pogba with a considerably higher salary, I think a transfer fee of around €50 million could see him move.

Pogba is worth a 50 million price tag. I think he's a once in a generation type player. I hope Arsenal go after him.

I completely agree about his talent. He's as spectacularly complete of a midfielder as you could design.

The only concern with Pogba would be his motivation. Last year, he was brilliant for Juve but so far this season I think he's been "hotdogging" it to the detriment of the team.

In the last few matches I've seen, Pogba's been consistently ignoring obvious plays to attempt one potentially dazzling low percentage shot or pass after another.

It's reminded me somewhat of the made for youtube attempts Balotelli would try and have Mancini subbing him off a minute later. Many of Pogba's teammates' frustration with it seemed quite palpable against AC Milan.

Conte's emotionally charged, blue collar, no stars ethic has worked well for Juve the past couple of seasons. This summer a popular bet was whether it would be Pogba or Tevez to first rock that boat. Seems Pogba's off to a better start but it could be something he quickly gets past as well.

Yeah it's no surprise Pogba is a bit petulant. But if there is anyone in world football that can control a young player's ego it's Wenger.
