I love how Barca are interested in every player but are also unwilling to spend any money to get them, as well as being unable to register anyone.

Could you imagine if the Spanish government finally got tired of financially supporting this circus?

They'll go crying to every club.. get them to lower fees.. ask players to reduce wages.. and magically La Liga will let them register everyone when the transfer window ends.

Yes. As explained, Bayern may sell us an injury dud. Bastian fit our profile perfectly. Charming. Leader. Dynamic combative ball playing midfielder. However, when he came he's past it.
Don't think it is true for Goretzka. But I would like to know his injury record.

What is the most important quality that Utd should be looking for in a player?

I think this

1) Not injury prone
2) Not injury prone
3) Not injury prone

I just kills the momentum of the team when players are out injured all the time. If Utd sign a midfielder I hope it is someone who will be available for every game.

I asked Arsenal if the know of Tammy Abraham. They are but no one thinks they are in advanced negotiations. I then asked some dudes at Chesea. They havnt heard of any advanced negotiations....YET. But it might change any minute. Keep watching this thread.

He's the absolute best at hedging his bets.

And how is Goretzka leaving on a free after refusing to sign a new deal remotely similar?

Since it's PSG, who paid 70M euros for Achraf, then they should pay about 80/100 for Pogba.
Pogba being in the last year of his contract has to be taken into account. He's also 28 and lets be honest, he hasn't been world class consistently for United at all. He's shown glimpses of being great, often prolonged for 1-2 months, but never really more than that.

I think it's a good deal as I think we should cash in and move on. I do like him as a player, but we can't risk losing him on a free again

Maybe, but despite what you said, 50M euros is still cheap, i would say it should be closer to 70M euros, that's his current market value, we are also paying 55/60M euros for Varane who's the same age as Pogba and same contractual situation.

If we sold Pogba I’d want 2 midfielders to replace him. Can’t be having Fred start every week.

If we got €70 million I’d sell him, no indication he is going to extend his stay here.
Sell him even for half - he's not staying, he wants to go, we are nothing but an insurance for him. It's either we have the uncertainty for another year and he goes for free, or we get some solid value now and it can contribute 50% toward another big signing.

Genuinely I think VDB was brought in last year with anticipation of Pogba leaving this year. I don't have any reports to hand now but I do remember reading articles that said he's very much a signing for the following season but we just acted swiftly because Spurs were making a move for him. Given how little game time he got, and also by how subsequent reports suggested VDB nor Ole are worried by that, I think it's all by design.

Whether VDB will take to the role he's given is another matter, of course.

So 55/60 would be ok then?

Pogba will probably demand more wages than Varane though

Bayern can decide to sell now, no? Not worth keeping and giving him the bumper contract. The tweet mentioned concern over him being injury prone.

I’m still unsure about signing Camavinga. He seems to have his heart set on a move to Spain and specifically Madrid. Don’t want to sign him and then he’s potentially forcing his way out a couple years down the line, a player like that you want as a mainstay in the team for years to come and someone you can build the midfield around.

Love the fact Chutney is back. Transfer window isn't the same without him.

The number of time I've read this whenever we are linked to a new player is only second to he's using us for a new contract like Ramos.
