Can never have too many Eevees
Nah, he's still the same inconsistent player as when he arrived.Another player we destroyed

Hopefully we can get 50 million. It's a far cry from what I would have myself demanded we demand for the player, say, even half a year ago. And this may be very knee jerk on my part. But considering our financial situation post Covid and Pogba's weaknesses, I think it's time to cash in, even of the cash isn't enormous.His dream club would offer something like 30m + Jovic
I'm actually worried about it. And he's generally been one of the United players I enjoy watching. But the idea of tying ourselves into a huge financial outlay on a player who as talented as he is, isn't fitting in and is creating tactical headaches, doesn't make sense.I'm willing to sell at this point, I'm not excited about extending his contact.
No one offered anything like that though otherwise he would have been sold. If we got offered anything over 50 mill now we should bite their hand off. I think we will offer a stupid contract, but he will turn it downWas just thinking the other day. If we sold Pogba for £100-£150m last summer.
Already signed:
Fernandes £50
DVB £40m
Just 3 CDM’s that have gone to other clubs that would arguably improve what we have:
Partey £42m
Höjbjerg £15m
Allan £20m
depending on how much we got for Pogba we could easily have signed the two that we signed plus anyone one of the 3 CDM’s and been in profit or broken even and come out of it with a better overall and more committed midfield.
He deffo was more creative and it helped for sure having much better players around him. It raised his game.I never thought he was consistent Juventus. His performances were massively overhyped because he would bang in a 30 yarder
Sanchez was the most disastrous financial signing we ever made but Pogba has been the most disappointing. As you say though, at least Sanchez didn't waste a spot on the pitch many times unlike Pogba who's been a complete waste for 4 years and will most likely continue to be so for another year or so.Perez has never wanted him. I suspect he goes to Juve on a free in 20 months or we manage to offload to PSG next summer.
Either way its the most disappointing United signing ever.
At least Sanchez was only here briefly, Pogba will be 5 or 6 years
Same here. Always liked the player as he's such a fun player to watch. But with Bruno and hopefully VDB I think we could have two attack minded midfielders who fit us and don't create a tactical headache either. As gifted as Pogba is, and his ability is twice either of those two, he needs the team built around him and we can't afford to now spend that much just to tailor make a team for him and possibly have to remove Bruno etc in the process. At the end of the day he's not a real CM and we need those to win the middle of the park.I think we need to accept that he isn't the player we need right now and he also doesn't want to be at the club.
I'd ship him out in January. It's the first time I've thought this, big fan of Pogba but it's just not worked out and is a distraction.
Agree with this, pogba is a player with great ability but at this point he's just not fitting into the team. With bruno and VDB, we have the role of a creative no. 10 covered.Same here.

So yes, I think it's time to part ways and strengthen the rest of the team and be better for it.
My worry is that we'll hand him a mega contract extension.I don't think we have much choice now. I doubt he'll sign a new deal and it would be a disaster to let an unmotivated Pogba stay and leave on a free - he'll be useless.
Knowing this club though I wouldn't put it past us. We'll probably reject £50m because we want £52.5 or some shit.
grealish is more influential in games. I’m really not sure what Pogba adds to the team.£50 million I feel would be good business.
I’d use that to get Grealish, a proper player.
Next summer he has one year left on his deal, Juve and Real will come in but it won't be anywhere near what we paid. Id say £45+10/15m in add ons would be fair.Question is, who would buy?
£50m wouldn't even buy you one of his calves.£50 million I feel would be good business.

Use Thiago transfer fee as a guide, and also factor in that football economy is even worse in December or next summer.£50m wouldn't even buy you one of his calves.
I doubt they are interested, and not for that price. Will be a lot lower.Next summer he has one year left on his deal, Juve and Real will come in but it won't be anywhere near what we paid. Id say £45+10/15m in add ons would be fair.
I highly doubt he's close to some city players.He is on big wages, highest outfield in the league probably, and is very valuable asset, and we are better without him in many games. We were probably robbed of the chance of 100m this summer but if we have to sell to buy big as this summer's muted spending suggests then it is surely worth the debate
......Too many fans have no clue about the nuances of the game and only understand players who leg it around all game and 'put a shift in'.
Typical mentality of many fans of english football. And why technically gift players often get criminally undervalued in english football.
There's a lot of subtly going on in Pogba's game and he's bloody brilliant.
Didn't take long. So much for me not understanding the nuances of the game. At least you're up to speed anywayI think we need to accept that he isn't the player we need right now and he also doesn't want to be at the club.
