I would say he's more Dele Alli than Pogba, if you need a comparison. Great player imho, Lazio will sell for €70-80m too i reckon. He wants out and they've just seen how he plays if unmotivated/sulking. They really have no choice but to sell, and they're actively trying to

Sorry I don't follow, he's like Dele Alli or he's a great player?

Would love him here, one underwhelming season where whole Lazio team was shit doesn't negate how good he is. Not surprised at Caf overreacting with "he's shit" posts like usual though.

If there was no such thing as FFP, then yes. But with FFP in place (as long as it is enforced) then they shouldn't be able to afford the outlay.

Unless they are self generating huge amounts of £.
Or sell players which they would need to especially in midfield

agree 100% . last years summer transfer question was "how could we fit Pogba and SMS into the same team" I would go for dybala too as I think he is quality too just had a tough . both would be good additions

Is this our next Sneijder? I'd take Ndidi over him. We need mobile defensive midfielders alongside a player like Bruno Fernandes if we do get him.

Not true, they will sell Khedira, Benta and If needed, Pjanic as well.
Matuidi,Pogba,Rabiot,Ramsey for 3 midfield positions is not bad.
Pjanic isn't going anywhere and I am not sure the market for Khedira will be strong at this point in his career, they might have to give him a free to a rich Chinese club that will pay for a clearly over the hill player. Benta may have a decent market.

Had a poor season last year, by all accounts left on the bench for parts of it, never impressed me when i watched him, likewise didnt see much when playing for Serbia either.He certainly never stands out.Scores the odd screamer and does the occasional worldly skill but is he the man to step up and take us forward? Im not sure.

Would rather we went for Maddison who has end product in prem league as well as one of Saul Niguez or Ceballos.

However if pogba goes i strongly think our statement signing will be Christian Eriksson.

I was waiting for that. Rashford. James. Longstaff. Bruno!! Perhaps
Banter :lol::lol: seriously though I think we should be looking at a different profile of midfield player than Savic personally, we seem to be missing an excellent defensive 6 if we get someone like Bruno in rather than what Savic would offer. Given our defence is a shambles also... I have zero faith in Matic personally

Khedira is crocked

Keep a clean shit tomorrow, United is my final bus
Just watching his highlights and he looks a different player last year to the one before. Looks like he's bulked up or something as he looks really immobile and most of his highlights were last ditch tackles made after he'd been left behind by a player. He was scoring for fun in 2017 and looked promising.

If we sold Pogba and spent the bulk of his fee on SMS, I'd be livid and furious.

He is nowhere near worth the price tag touted. We should steer clear of him at all costs.

Do you work in football? Are you a scout of some sort? Just curious

Thought this is a good read

Yeah it was a good read. I think it is a good sign that he is willing to work his socks off in a deeper role to help his team and not just look to score and assist for the spotlight. Think he will do well for us in CM and surprise a fair amount of people. The fact that he releases the ball faster than Pogba rather than holding on to it for too long is very important in Ole's style of play which is more direct.

The only option for me is Pogba does leave. He looks to have a similar skill set, is a couple of years younger and would represent a fresh start for us, we should be all over it. Also, he rumoured to be available for £67.5m!? Special player imo.

Apparently he has been pretty good. I was under the impression he had a poor season.

He wasn't quite as good as he was the season before and he had an underwhelming World Cup, which is likely the only time most here have seen him play closely, these factors may be why his rating has taken such a beating. As it's already been stated all of Lazio were somewhat underwhelming last year in general so he wasn't the odd one out.

Last season there were rumours that SMS had everything done and dusted with Juventus for next year which turned the fans against him. He was pretty fatigued after last season (+ because of the WC) and his performance wasn't that great. That fuelled the conspiracy theories that I've already mentioned which saw the fans turning against him. Lets be clear, he's not as great as he showed during his first year in the Serie A. However he's quite a talented lad who would do well with us if we ever buy him. A 60m-70m bid should do the trick.

If we replace Pogba with SMS and Bruno then I'll be happy.

Regardless of my opinion on him, have to say something about Serbian national team. If you basing your opinion about Serbian players on their performances in national team, dont waste your time. Whole thing stinks from top of FA to national team, they are able to turn prime Ronaldo to look like Obertan, corruption in any single way possible, due low standards, agents have free path to push their clients for exposure for future transfers ( R. Petrovic being able to join Blackburn for example ) etc.
