True.Italian accounting is something else.
In the Pjanic-Arthur swap both clubs - Juventus and Barcelona posted the transaction as a profit. It s explained on youtube.

You read.my mindPerhaps @Clermontois knows the feeling?
id be happy to set that bar very reasonable. We need to start a new chapter. This window has probably decided his future, we wont be near a title challenge for a few yearsI would absolutely consider selling him if the price was right, I don't think he is any way absolutely integral to our midfield and selling him would allow us to sign players in multiple positions of need, I think as others have said before he is pretty luxury. There aren't many times i've been wowed by his dominance on the pitch, like at all.
Me too, and Ive taken more than enough stick from the Paul Pogba Fan Club.I'm surprised it took this long for the majority of the caf to see this
I've been banging on about this for seasons on end and got shut down with "but he's our best player" drivel.
Only really shown it in the derby two years ago in my opinionOur only 'world class' player apparently.
Still waiting on the world class player to turn up
Funny. Talk to those people close to you and it will be clear what Paul and I have been up to.Perhaps @Clermontois knows the feeling?
So true.....LolOur only 'world class' player apparently.

he played as a left sided central midfielder in juventus and also in midfield for france in the world cup. So he can play other than a number 10. but i agree with you, he is slow and recently have been losing the ball a lot when building an attack. From the game donny has played, he seems to be a more mobile player with more creativity.he is defensively bad .. and teams have targeted him .. the only place he can play is number 10 ..
So we need a better player on the midfield .. more mobile.. more defensively strong .. so I think it is time to sell
Well give him a mega contract as soon as he has a run of good formhe is defensively bad .. and teams have targeted him .. the only place he can play is number 10 ..

But what you are asking here is for another midfielder to do all the legwork for him and that simply does not work like that in modern football and certainly not for a midfielder. Besides, the differences between a 433 that everyone claims is the system he needs and 4231 that we play are very minor. The difference is that in the latter the most advanced midfielder plays a bit further ahead of the other two, but Bruno does a fair bit of defensive work as well so its not like Pogba and his partner are stranded in there alone.No way is that possible. He is played in the wrong system and that's probably why he's been failing at United. I know he's still not showing the signs of a player worth around 90 mil but he's a player like Bruno who likes to be part of the attacking midfield in opening up defenses but instead he's played deep by all the managers who have been at this club and Ole. It is sad that we haven't had a decent Defensive midfielder since Carrick who could sit behind the attacking midfielders and clean up effectively behind them. I do not consider Matic anymore because he's lost his pace and quickness he had under Conte in their title winning season. We need somebody like Saul, Rice or Camavinga to allow attacking midfielders to go up and attack the opponent midfielders. Pogba needs to play as an 8 alongside Bruno and as part of the front 5 with a defensive midfielder (6) sticking close and in-between the center halves. Only then will VDB able to swap for either Bruno or Pogba and assume the attacking role. Mctominay can play the DM role for now but he's too young and go out of position and he cannot pick a pass like the above mentioned or Busquets or even Fabinho. We need a center half, defensive midfielder and a proper right winger and only then we will have a decent first XI and then we should go around looking for backups. There is a lot of work ahead and I for one sadly feel that Ole will not be at the wheel for long. I'm a huge fan of his and I want him to resign before the Glazers and Woodward make a case out of it and sack him. Spineless idiots holding this club back from a long time and it's showing and will show immensely this season. Let's not pin this on Pogba along for those who feel Pogba is useless, I think he's been useless too but I don't blame just him.
So true.....Lol
Took a lot of heat a few months ago when I said he might not be as good as he thinks he is. World-class players drive their team on. Have not seen much driving by Pogba when he was injury-free and fit.
Won't get a penny over 50 million if we put him up for sale unless we can hoodwink PSG.
Saul is what Mourinho & Ole expect Pogba to become but in reality not the case. He’s perfect for United midfield and probably best candidate to replace Pogba. Unfortunately, I’ll find it hard to believe for Atl Madrid to sell Saúl easily when they were the one who gave him that 9 years contract. Surely it’s because they think of him as long term player who won’t leave the club and the player himself love to be in the club.Personally think Saul would be much better suited to playing with Bruno, Donny, fred and Mctominay as a unit than Pogba being shoehorned into this deep lying playmaker role. Bring much more balance, urgency and tenacity which will compliment our group of midfielders.
I must apologise, I got carried away when Pogba was out of the team and again over rated his qualities. It really frustrates me because there is so much he can do.Oh how the tide has turned on this thread. Guess I wasn't talking rubbish then eh guys?
Sooner he goes the better. Rather have a less talented player who gives his all and covers every blade of grass each week than this fraud who just goes through the motions.
Juve want both Pogba and Demebele so say the media. Good luck with that guys
While I concur he hasn't been the guy we thought he was going to be all the time, the guy was let down by the team also. Investment was needed in two windows and we opted not to do so for whatever reason.
In fairness with Pogba, he haas seen it all at our club and he could feel let down a number of times. But it is true: he's not the best fit for United, he's not playing on a consistent and high level. If he's sold I would prioritize getting someone who can actually give us what we expect from Pogba + a Matic replacement, hopefully Fred grows even more into the team.
Honestly can't believe there are fans that think we should sell Pogba. He's our only truly world-class player(or so i'm told often enough!)
We should if he doesn't extend his contract. Otherwise no, I would love to have him in our squad. He is still a top player. If he leaves, Aouar would be a good replacement.
If we had a proper manager , he would not be starting him. His lack of control in midfield is shocking.I must apologise, I got carried away when Pogba was out of the team and again over rated his qualities. It really frustrates me because there is so much he can do.
However; he is always the problem and until we get rid of him, we wont be allowed to build a proper team that is functional. Pogba loses the midfield battle every time.
Agreed, especially when you have Martial, Greenwood, Rashford who are young and will be inconsistent too.He's a class player when he's on it, the things he can do, the influence he can have is fantastic, but truth be told, when he's not on it, you'd be better off having someone slightly less talented that gives closer to 100 percent every game.
