I just wanted to post in the hippest thread on the Caf.
Has he signed yet, then?
Has he signed yet, then?
It's too late now but in May-early June, I would have gone for Kovacic and Krychowiak or Pjanic and Krychowiak.It's a thin difference. Kroos wasn't for sale and perhaps dont want to come here. Even if he wants to he wont come cheap and it'll be another pogba fee.
It's not that simple of who we want, but who wants us who we can afford and whose available
Bayern turned down a "world record" bid for Müller, so I guess they would knock back 120 for Kroos too.For £120m?
Good jaysus.
Don't need Damien for that. You can find it under thread tools above to the right of the first post on the page.
He isn't playing for Bayern.Bayern turned down a "world record" bid for Müller, so I guess they would knock back 120 for Kroos too.
And the top 5 in midfield that's attainable with 120m still consists pogba.A lot of players could become available for this kind of fee
I'm not complaining. I'm just offering an alternative view.And the top 5 in midfield that's attainable with 120m still consists pogba.
Stop complaining, it's pogba instead of kroos. It's not like it's allen instead of kroos.
Be positive for a change
He plays for Madrid though.Bayern turned down a "world record" bid for Müller, so I guess they would knock back 120 for Kroos too.
Kovacic kruchoowoworjr or pjanic aren't as good as pogba. They're not ready yet. What's wrong with buying a better player, a more proven player?It's too late now but in May-early June, I would have gone for Kovacic and Krychowiak or Pjanic and Krychowiak.
Same. Having watched Kroos regularly for Real Madrid, I can say he's been very inconsistent. Some games he looks the world class player he's supposed to be but other games he can barely get anything right.I'd take Pogba over Kroos.
Well the deal is on a very late stage it's too late for alternatives selection.I'm not complaining. I'm just offering an alternative view.
He isn't playing for Bayern.
feck my buttered assHe plays for Madrid though.
I personally would prefer Pogba.
Imagine how fecking amazing our attack would look right now with Di Maria on the right, Martial on the left and our 3-4 summer signings playing as well.Well said. I would say the last time we signed a proper world class player who was good enough to play for any top side in the world was Di Maria. It's easy to forget him because he was underwhelming and left on a bad note but there's no denying he was a world class player when we signed him.
Three years younger too.Pogba is so much better than Kroos and that's without even thinking about the fact that pogba is much more of a midfielder that we need compared to Kroos.
For £120m I could see them accepting and signing Pogba who is 3 years younger, just as good (or very close) and have money left over. What awful business that would beFor £120m?
I must have missed something, they were banging on about £120M on Talkshite earlier too.For £120m?
No. Kroos and Verratti are in a league of their own as far as young midfielders are concerned. I am looking forward to seeing what Pogba can do but let's not inflate his achievements.Pogba is so much better than Kroos and that's without even thinking about the fact that pogba is much more of a midfielder that we need compared to Kroos.
Wow, that makes for depressing reading. Sad thing is they probably feel they've achieved something!

You round up to £100m then convert it to €120m and convert back to £120mI must have missed something, they were banging on about £120M on Talkshite earlier too.
When did the fee go up from £93M (€110M) to £120M?
Most probably. Madrid already have their knickers in a twist, no chance they'd sell him to us.For £120m?
That's Brexit for you! LolYou round up to £100m then convert it to €120m and convert back to £120m
Thought soYou round up to £100m then convert it to €120m and convert back to £120m
Kroos is 26. Not sure he's in the "young midfielder" bracket anymore.No. Kroos and Verratti are in a league of their own as far as young midfielders are concerned. I am looking forward to seeing what Pogba can do but let's not inflate his achievements.
Ha, fair enough. I always think of him as a young midfielder, but you're right.Kroos is 26. Not sure he's in the "young midfielder" bracket anymore.
This. In a nutshell.It's a nice saga this one, for me, because he's not someone I'm personally that desperate for us to sign, but he is clearly a stunningly good player who it would be great to watch in a United shirt. So if we get him, great, I'll be chuffed. If we don't, we'll just have saved £100m+. And Herrera will get more game time (fanboi4eva etc).
Of course he is, he's younger than that kid Lallana.Kroos is 26. Not sure he's in the "young midfielder" bracket anymore.
You see that's the problem that I have with you, you can't understand that debatting doesn't mean that I'm unhappy, I like Pogba and I'm glad that we are after him but it doesn't mean that I can't look at other options and wonder if the team can be improved with a different transfer window.Kovacic kruchoowoworjr or pjanic aren't as good as pogba. They're not ready yet. What's wrong with buying a better player, a more proven player?
Seriously. We're buying a world's best midfielder (top 5 at least), why cant you be happy for a change?
You're one of those who complains that we're replacing ronaldo with valencia aren't you?
Kroos will be 27 next season. Hardly young.No. Kroos and Verratti are in a league of their own as far as young midfielders are concerned. I am looking forward to seeing what Pogba can do but let's not inflate his achievements.

Herrera is crap.

Never.Herrera is crap. People need to realise.
That's the figure I keep hearing and reading. Who knows at this point?I must have missed something, they were banging on about £120M on Talkshite earlier too.
When did the fee go up from £93M (€110M) to £120M?
Yeah that's right. Muppets are very sensitive from June to end of August.Because my shit doesn't conform to the group think going on here, the herd mentality of all the guys talking about getting their cocks out and jizzing themselves over Paul Pogba? Yeah. You're right. My views on this transfer are very annoying for folks like that.
