People keep saying we could get X amount of world class players for the price of Pogba but no one ever lists these world class players we could buy.

I brought out comparison to point out the absurdity of your comparison.
Anyway, we're getting off-topic.
but then you are comparing the players or then whats the relevance of the post? If i said wow 1 Kante is the cost of 4 tom Cleverleys what would u take from that ?
Just in recent years you've seen fantastic, top quality players like Costa, Sanchez, Hazard, Özil, De Bruyne, etc make high profile transfers for a fraction of what Pogba will cost. Is he really that much better than those players?
Have all that believe he'll just be off to Madrid in 3 years if he's any good explained how Real, who are struggling to pay the 100m Juve are asking now, will just stump up heaven knows what we'll be demanding given out outlay?
He'll be on new deals every 2 years to protect our investment I imagine, and unless he agitates, his value will be ridiculous and I doubt any could afford him from outside PL or Paris.

Costa isn't world class, Sanchez was unwanted at Barca, Hazard came from a seller club French team, Ozil was unwanted, De Bruyne was half the price from a team that accepted they had no option but to sell. Not to add, none of those players are "world class", whilst most of them occupy positions we don't need, none of them are a proper CM, nor are they half as marketable as Pogba.
No champions league and last few average seasons, that's what we are paying for.
Who gives a feck if we pay over the odds for a player of Pogba's quality. Madrid didn't seem to care much when they splashed £85M on Bale and look where he is now. Pogba is an excellent player and he's only 23. His potential is crazy.
Actually, a player like Pogba has much more value than those who you name. That's the true. And I'm a big fan of Eden.
I got a conspiracy theory:
It's all a massive revenge plot engineered by Real Madrid in retaliation for the fax incident. Pogba is avenging his treatment by Fergie. We are all played to believe that we got him only for Madrid to unveil him on deadline day. His agent and Juve are all on board too. We are being trolled.
Joking, please don't take seriously.

I disagree with Sanchez and Hazard not being world class (maybe when they were sold they weren't world class), even though Hazard had a down year. Agree with the fact that other circumstances contributed to their respective transfer fees.
Except you have with your wum attempt. Pogba is 10 times the player Kante is.
Pulling off a pimpass move like this could be the defining moment of Woodward's tenure at the club. Historic parallels with the defeat of the Spanish Armada at Gravelines.
You cannot compare the prices without giving off the impression you are comparing the player. We paid roughly the same price for Schneiderlin last summer as you have for Kante this summer. Pogba isn't the same type of player as either of them, in fact he is fully capable of being a mixture of both, on top of being a huge attacking threat. You have to pay big for that kind of player in todays market, no two ways about it. If nobody else will cough £100+ million for him and we can afford to do so, we'd be utterly daft to give up the opportunity.
Still not saying this will definitely happen, mind you.
And the same opposistion fans who come in here to tell us how stupid United are for paying such a crazy fee for a player are most likely the same ones who told us we were stupid for paying 36 million for Martial. I trust Mourinho's judgement on Pogba.
By that time they won't have the Zidane factor either as he'll probably have been sacked.
I can't wait for the first journalist tweet tomorrow morning "Yes Man Utd are interested in Pogba. But still no bid. Juventus don't want to sell him" 
I am a poster of the right forum.You talk alot of sense for a Juve fan
It wasn't a WUM attempt at all and Pogba isn't 10 times the player Kante is. He wouldn't have looked utterly hopeless playing in that France side this summer if he was.
He may have 10 times the talent and ceiling but that's not the same thing.
Why do you want to compare your business with United's?So Pogba is worth roughly 4 N'Golo Kante's?
Seriously, rival fans seem to care about the price FAR more than most Utd fans I've seen. Obviously that's their perogative but it's a bit weird to me.
Never mind that "Pogba = Kante x4 WTF" is simpleton logic anyhoo
Yea three years in football is a long time. We could be in much healthier situation then. Also we could potentially have different owners. Heard a few dits that Glazers are looking to cash in 2/3 years time.
And the irony was it was a Chelsea fan saying it, a fecking Chelsea fan lol.
By the way, Juve turned down a 90mil Euro offer from Chelsea last summer so put that in your pipe and smoke it Chelsea fan.
Visit a real Juve forum such as La Vecchia Signora and you will see they are sensible as well. They are not having a meltdown about this, but are not too fond of paying €90m+ on Higuain.You talk alot of sense for a Juve fan
Read my posts again. I'm not criticizing United for spending the money, I'm questioning whether the player himself is actually worth it.
If you can afford it, spend it. I'm just saying I think he's overrated.
Of course it was a wum attempt, a poor one as well, complete with the stupid
smiliel.Woah there. I mean, do you really believe that? Even two world class players is a stretch... Suarez went for between 60-75mil GBP and that was two years ago. De Bruyne and Martial will potentially cost that much each having been purchased last year, neither of whom were considered world class at the point of sale.
One International tournament is an utterly hopeless way to judge a talent after a long season of football, and that doesn't only go for players, but managers too.
While Leicester Citys Kante is worldclass amirite?
Well I know you're not criticizing United, but my posts didn't assume you were. It was just a weird way of saying you think Pogba is overrated, which is not really an outlandish opinion. I think most people will call someone out if they make a post as inane as that one though!
As others have said the marketing aspect has to be considered as well. As is the statement that we can outmuscle Real financially, that's important for sponsorship deals. I trust Mourinho and Woodward to make a deal that makes sense.
What a statement of a signing to go with the three we have already got.
I expect we will sell a few and add at least 1 or 2 more.
Fair play to Mourinho/Woody/Glazers for investing like this.

Yeah and Kante was amazing sitting on the bench.
The overrating of Kante is ridiculous. He had a great season last year. But let's see what he does next season. He's nowhere near as good as Pogba.
Chelsea fans this time last year were raving about how Matic is one of the best CMs last year. So let's wait and see. Going from Leicester to Chelsea is a big step up in expectations.
You seem to be taking this really seriously, man. Are you okay? Your blood seems like it's boiling. Like you're taking it personally.
I don't think it's that outlandish to compare his price with those other top class players if that's the post you're talking about. I don't for example think Pogba will be any better in the PL than De Bruyne was in his fantastic season last year. I don think he'll run away with the Player of the Year trophy and carry a team to the title like Hazard did.
Once Rooney leaves in the next two years we'll need a new face for our sponsorships and marketing. Ibra is only here for a season and Pogba can definitely fill that void.
We could get 3 'world class' players for €140 million? I'd like to know who they are! Moving this summer!
and too buying from arguably top 5 clubs in the world right now...
And you seem to be talking absolute bollocks but what can you expect from a fan of plastic flag FC.
Don't wum and people won't call you out on it.
Never said Kante was better than Pogba. I suggested that it was crazy that Pogba is worth £80m more.
Pogba is one of the most marketable players in the world, he's also one of the best in the world in his position and the future belongs to him. We'll all soon forget is price tag when he's banging them in from thirty five yards and dabbing like a king! Get it done whatever the price!
