What a player
Does lucky scout rate him? 
I wouldn't be so sure. They cannot afford both Mbappé and Camavinga if we are to believe the journos about their transfer targets. As rich and big a club as they are, they cannot outbid or outspend the state owned clubs like PSG. The pandemic has hit the Spanish economy very hard and the international TV rights deal they have is not that expansive.
They need strikers more than midfielders right now, so if they're going to go all in on one player, it has to be a striker. They are very undermanned there
Sell Pogba and buy this kid.
Madrid didnt buy anybody this summer and got Bale + James off their wage bill... this is the same club who broke the world transfer record 5 times in a row (Figo, Zidane, Kaka, Ronaldo, Bale)
Mbappes contract expires in 2022 and so does camavinga's
I don't think affording them will be a major issue for Madrid if the players want to move there
Just Pogba?
Asking the important questionsDoes lucky scout rate him?
What happened to trigger the bump?
Not a bad point but you have to remember they're rebuilding their stadium in a big way right now. They don't have lots of liquidity. Of course they could buy a huge name, but maybe not two in the same window. Plus, together with Bayern they've been vocal about not paying huge agent fees, at a time when super agents have become more visible and powerful than ever.
A real shame that there is no crowd
Incredible player, should go for over 100M.
Surprised we didn't go for him this summer.
France have some insanely good teenagers coming through in all positions.
Surely the muppet dream in a year or two
Is there a different camera angle for his goal?
Decent, I remember seeing highlights of his debut on here at 16 where he ran the show in midfield against PSG. Looks a decent prospect.
He's one of the most complete players at a young age I've ever seen.
How can somebody look so experienced and have game knowledge at 16/17 years old? it's crazy.

Why, Our manager thinks that McTominay is a good player. Whereas Camavinga would of course cement a starting spot in our team from day one
If Madrid come calling in the summer sell them Pogba and get this guy.
Camavinga is apparently better than Pogba, so I wouldn’t hesitate
Tbh it wouldn't be the worst idea tactically i reckon, but the reputation damage of selling a world class player to another team could be bigger than previous seasons.
The Pog attracts best of next gen French kids who idolise him so rather than selling Pog to accommodate Camvinga, use the Pog to attract him instead

Ole spent about 10years playing with Keane and Scholes and you don`t think he could see the difference between an average player and a truly good one? Doesn`t make an awful lot of sense?
World class ? He has world class qualities but overall he just isn't at the moment
McTominay is a good player.
We can't even get the English Muppet dream who wanted to sign for us so this one is quite the stretch.
He apparently doesn’t, if he continues to play bad performers despite their awful performances. We can see with our own eyes that he is usually very stubborn in his team selections - that’s how it was during the last season at least (same goes for his tactics/system - sticks to one model even if it doesn’t work)
By the same logic, a place in the upper half of the league table is a “good place”.

Ole was put in charge and 5 minutes later Fellaini was fecked off out the door.
It's easy to forget just how many players have been given the boot by Solskjaer, even in this crappy window, 5 have been shifted, even if only a loan deal, Solskjaer has made it clear that they aren't part of the future here...(Sanchez-Perreira-Smalling-Romero-Dalot)
For the first half of last season we had two available cm`s Scott and Fred, as soon as he had other options Scott was on the bench. Ole rarely plays him these days because he clearly doesn`t think he is anything special.
Ole has to work with what he`s got, and the back up options are not fantastic so he is often forced to play his first choice players despite them being tired and or out of form. Sorry for going off topic.
If your applying logic then equating McTominay and 'the upper half of the table.' is both illogical and absurd.
There's no money. Nothing left in the tank. They can't even rely on help from the State as of now.
Hazard was a huge outlay. Not to forget the actually very expensive outlay on young Brazilians which have gone under the radar.
He is breaking century-long records with France, but it's not by accident or just talent, I think the kid eats and breathes football, prepares meticulously, and just puts a ton of work into his craft. There's natural talent, which he has in abundance, but I think there's also an extreme professionalism going on which is helping him learn and read the game. It's crazy to say, but I think he's already indispensable to France's midfield. I don't think he's ever getting out of the squad unless he gets hurt.
The only issue I have for him is he’s not quite found his “role” yet, he’s very rounded but they might have more specialists. No doubt though he’s the future.
Wouldn’t be so sure of that. Probably just sell their training ground again. They will be spunking money again in no time.
Sell Pogba as soon as possible, and get this kid
Theyre expecting a 200m loss next season and are counting every penny to make up for it.
I think you're right in that it could be an issue, big or small. It's going to be the Pogba dilemma all over again.
