Might get hate for this, but I'd trade Pogba for say, Coutinho + Dembele as of right now. Don't quote me five months from now.
Not even Neymar?Would only do it for players.
Saying that the only players I’d take in world football over him is Messi and Mbappe.
I haven't watched any La Liga all season so this might be total bollocks, but aren't they both really struggling at the moment?Might get hate for this, but I'd trade Pogba for say, Coutinho + Dembele as of right now. Don't quote me five months from now.
Dembele has looked class quite often this season.I haven't watched any La Liga all season so this might be total bollocks, but aren't they both really struggling at the moment?
Well said mateI find people's tendency of doubling down fascinating. Just saying I was wrong and moving on would make people respect you more instead of coming up with ridiculous arguments.
Keane dictated the game....he was an unbelievable footballer, he was the tempo of the game at the highest level. He decided. No one else and for three years, every single performance was world class.Thats a no brainer for me. As talented as Pogba is, Keane was Fergusons most important player imo. Football is so much more than talent on the ball. Not that Keane wasn't talented, he was, but his personality and attitude would ensure, that the whole team gave their all every time leading by example. What's that worth? Perfect captain.
Yeah Bogof. Even in terms of market value Pogba is easily worth north of £100m. In that hypothetical Swap deal Arsenal could have signed him for essentially the £25m fee they paid for Torreria and then sold Pogba on for probably £100m profit at least. Probably more, it would be the biggest no brainer ever.And send Aubameyang, Ozil or whatever other player we would have wanted with him. You know, those buy one, get one free offers.
Coutinho doesn’t work for Barca who are looking for someone more in the mould of Iniesta. Dembele is starting to find his feet with them but you can’t doubt his talent even when he has a bad game. He will be a significant upgrade on our right wing.I haven't watched any La Liga all season so this might be total bollocks, but aren't they both really struggling at the moment?
Better yet, bring us the black box from MH370.An acceptable offer for pogba:
250million in cash
50million per year premium on his marketing rights for the duration of the contract
The man united private plane fuelled and staffed for the duration of the contract
All season tickets for Manchester United fans paid in full by the purchasing club
The script for what happened after the last scene of the sopranos
Conclusive proof on who killed Kennedy
The current real time location of DB cooper
A popcorn machine in my apartment building
Excellent, let’s bring two more left sided forwardsMight get hate for this, but I'd trade Pogba for say, Coutinho + Dembele as of right now. Don't quote me five months from now.

You both want to trade midfielder with forwards?Not even Neymar?
I wouldn’t waste your time Steve, he’s either on a wum or severely pissed.The answer would of course be yes, one of the best midfielders in the world at 25 in exchange for a prospect worth way less is the very definition of a no brainer. Arsenal would think United had lost their fecking minds to even propose that deal.
Honest question mate are you on a wind up?
Between this and the Keane rubbish a few pages back this thread has become a farce.
Fecking hell.I took the opportunity to browse an Arsenal forum to see what the fans thought of Torreira around the middle of December. Judging by the lavish praise he was getting, I'm sure you wouldn't have found many takers there for the swap. I guess, to use a quote from Arsene Wenger, "everyone thinks they have the prettiest wife at home" (he said that when Van Nistlerooy and Henri were being compared).
Coutinho is an attacking midfielder who plays LCM, like Pogba and would be brought in to replace Pogba in this hypothetical scenario.Excellent, let’s bring two more left sided forwards
Coutinho is more of a left sided forward. Dembele's 31. We'd be mad to go for that.Might get hate for this, but I'd trade Pogba for say, Coutinho + Dembele as of right now. Don't quote me five months from now.
Coutinho is more than capable of playing the role Pogba plays for us under Ole. Pogba's starting position might be in the midfield but see his heat maps and he's very much a forward for us.Coutinho is more of a left sided forward. Dembele's 31. We'd be mad to go for that.
Ah I see. Ousmane. He'd be decent on the right.Coutinho is more than capable of playing the role Pogba plays for us under Ole. Pogba's starting position might be in the midfield but see his heat maps and he's very much a forward for us.
And Osumane Dembele not Mousa. What I was saying was, I'd swap Pogba with two Barca players. As of right now.
Saw that one somewhere earlier as well.Saw a claim we were looking to swap Pogba for Douglas Costa and couldn’t imagine the insanity of the claim.
Mbappe?For my pennethworth, there is no price to take him away. When he hits his form, as he is doing, there aren't many people who could replace him. I wouldn't even entertain Neymar plus massive money over Pogba at the moment. He has stated that he is very happy now and you can see that happiness coming into his game and, no money or player, could take his place in my eyes.
I'd turn that down115 million plus Ramos and Modric for Pogba.
That’s a terrible deal in 2019.115 million plus Ramos and Modric for Pogba.
Nah, not for me. Don't get me wrong, at the moment, Mbappe is possibly the worlds most exciting player at the moment but I wouldn't bring him in for Pogba. Now, alongside Pogba would be something incredible but not as a replacement for Pogba.Mbappe?
Agree. Without Mbappe, we still have Pogba+Rashford. Without Pogba, we have no creativity from midfield.Nah, not for me. Don't get me wrong, at the moment, Mbappe is possibly the worlds most exciting player at the moment but I wouldn't bring him in for Pogba. Now, alongside Pogba would be something incredible but not as a replacement for Pogba.
Totally agree with all this. Especially with the part in bold. He was like a one man tank at times.Think many of the younger posters underestimate just how valuable Keane's presence and his drive were. He was a fkin force of nature.
So basically trade one wc mf that's soon to enter his prime for 2 wc but on a decline players that will demand massive wages. That would just be a terrible, terrible deal for us.115 million plus Ramos and Modric for Pogba.
Does sound like a cliché sometimes, but it's true!Totally agree with all this. Especially with the part in bold. He was like a one man tank at times.
