Yes.Let's say this is true, do we really want a player for which we were his third choice?

It could also set a precedent. Great players want to play alongside other great players and under great managers. It feels like we are back on the right trajectory.Agreed, we've already shown that we mean business come next season but signing Pogba on top of all that would be a massive statement and a feckin icing factory on the cake. If a lot of the other big clubs were/are after him and he signs for us, that would mean a lot. That wasn't apparenly the case with Di Maria (who wanted to go to PSG) or Zlatan (who is a short term luxury signing).
Bit before your time isn't itVidal was on his way until you piped up & now this? thanks a bunch!
Well, yes, if the person you're arguing with had only ever seen that one game of football.
Well @El Zoido ask yourself this, would you still go home & have sex with Megan Fox if you were her third choice that night?Let's say this is true, do we really want a player for which we were his third choice?

Nope, anyone who has watched Pogba regulaty over the last 2 seasons will know there is not a team in the world that he would not get into.Well, yes, if the person you're arguing with had only ever seen that one game of football.
Toure at City is very comparable to Pogba, in my opinion.Comparing Yaya to Pogba
Toure was a benchwarmer at Barca on his peak. Pogba has twice the talent. Typical English to overrate premier league based players.
That said, Pogba still has lots to learn.
Fair enough. We'll have Isco then....Do they?
Could they not play this:
Bale-------Benzema--------Ronaldo
-------------Pogba------------------
------Kroos-------Modric-----------
I suppose Casemiro was an important player for them though. But could be rotated in for the big games.
Well that was daft.Nope, I have been a lurker for a long while.
I remember those weeks of anticipation and hopefull Muppetry, I was hanging to your every word, waiting for an update
He wouldn't get into Real Madrid's team.Nope, anyone who has watched Pogba regulaty over the last 2 seasons will know there is not a team in the world that he would not get into.
Casmerio/ KroosHe wouldn't get into Real Madrid's team.
Both Kroos and Modric are better than Pogba so there is no way he would get in the team ahead of one of those two.Casmerio
Pogba Kroos/Mordic
They're different. And they can play together, too.Both Kroos and Modric are better than Pogba so there is no way he would get in the team ahead of one of those two.
How do you know he doesn't want to come here?I see Keys tweeting that he's heard we have got Pogba. I don't know, why spend that much on someone who doesn't even want to come here?, it will just be a circus every year with Madrid and Barca after him.
Yeah on Fifa.They're different. And they can play together, too.
Pogba offers a lot more then Kroos, Kroos is a better corner kick taker and playing through balls and that's about it, Pogba is a lot quicker, stronger, dribbling and much better at finishing and tacklingBoth Kroos and Modric are better than Pogba so there is no way he would get in the team ahead of one of those two.
He probably chooses Madrid and Barca because of the level they're currently at. CL Finals, La Liga, etc.I see Keys tweeting that he's heard we have got Pogba.

If the money is right they will come whether we're the 5th best team in England or the 15th best. How long he would stay is another matter but I could live with the headlines about us fighting off Real Madrid and Barcelona every Summer. It would show we're a big club again.How do you know he doesn't want to come here?
But for £100mil you really want someone who is going to be here for years and fight for the cause, does that sound like Pogba?He probably chooses Madrid and Barca because of the level they're currently at. CL Finals, La Liga, etc.
With Mourinho, and the signings he's brought so far, I'm hoping that we can get back to that level, meaning they'd be little reason for players wanting to leave us.
Would be fatal to go in with that thinking, because each of those 3 outgoing players would need replacing.If we can sell Mata, Fellaini and Young for a combined fee of £50m then that may cushion the blow slightly when paying £100m.
I think they can, and they have shown that in the past. Wouldn't always work against top teams, but in La Liga, that's only against Barcelona and Athletico.Yeah on Fifa.
SAF did win the PL that season in all fairness but lost Pogba.£100m on a player we let go for free. We are a laughing stock.
Don't think they would.Would be fatal to go in with that thinking, because each of those 3 outgoing players would need replacing.
Yeah if it were Liverpool spending £100m on a world class player I'd be laughing my arse off. Sure, he'd improve their team considerably, but their owners would be £100m poorer, which is the important thing.£100m on a player we let go for free. We are a laughing stock.
If he feels there's a cause fighting for, then yes. Players are motivated by success. If we are successful, and I believe we will be in the next few years, then if he were to come, I don't see why he would want to leave if we were challenging for all the major trophies.But for £100mil you really want someone who is going to be here for years and fight for the cause, does that sound like Pogba?
Support another club then. You people need to get your heads right. The fact that opposition fans laugh at us is because they're concerned. People laugh at us regardless of what we do. We're the biggest club in the world and 100m on a player who was let go for free, under different circumstances, under different staff and different management doesn't mean shit. We're a different club now then we were at that time. Signing a player who has potential to be one of the world's best players is always welcome at the world's biggest club, regardless of past relationships.£100m on a player we let go for free. We are a laughing stock.
There is no room for such emotion if we're to get back to becoming a top team again. Nobody will be laughing if he bullies the league into submission.£100m on a player we let go for free. We are a laughing stock.
You clearly have no idea what you are talking about if you think that's all that Kroos offers. He is excellent at dictating the tempo of a game and he is a much better passer of the ball. Pogba is not even close to Kroos's level. He may get there though, as he is still young.Pogba offers a lot more then Kroos, Kroos is a better corner kick taker and playing through balls and that's about it, Pogba is a lot quicker, stronger, dribbling and much better at finishing and tackling
Then what fee would we get if Real/Barca wanted him?£100m for Pogba? nah. He'll probably get up and leave in 3 seasons too.
You need a defensive midfielder.I think they can, and they have shown that in the past. Wouldn't always work against top teams, but in La Liga, that's only against Barcelona and Athletico.
The partnership would be very similar to what Germany have been playing with Kroos and Khedira. Kroos playing deep and controlling the game, with Khedira giving them the legs in midfield like Modric does, plus more.
what? Kroos isn't a top 10 player. Pogba is.You clearly have no idea what you are talking about if you think that's all that Kroos offers. He is excellent at dictating the tempo of a game and he is a much better passer of the ball. Pogba is not even close to Kroos's level. He may get there though, as he is still young.
