Rumoured Paul Pogba

[Toli 977]

pogba would cost probably like 60-80 m euros..think we would need to sell first before we can buy him and if we want to make further additions. brilliant talent though...

The tag price on Reus makes it too obvious. Quality players like him are worth at least double that amount in today's market. If your question was who would you rather sign regardless of the asking price, it would be much tougher.

It depends on how you look at it. When you consider the injury record of both players, age, homegrown quota and who will likely strenghten the team better (Fabregas is not suited to the CM role imo due to his lack of physical presence, pace and average tactical nous) Matic and Pogba in the middle would make us much more stronger than reus would. It doesn't sound like such an easy and straight forward choice from that perspective.

Meh I'm in the minority I guess, I like Koke more than Pogba.

That's exactly why I said that excluding the price tag makes it tougher.

I agree with you however, I think that the RW position is more of a priority at the moment. If needed, we can move Fabregas higher on the pitch and play Mikel to partner Matic. people on here probably won't agree but John obi can do a fine job protecting the back 4. Jose already did this, and probably will again in the champions league. This current set of AMs don't give us much options offensively. Schurrle is in a terrible form/illness, Ramires is basically Willian and Salah is well.. Salah. It's also worth asking if Cesc would be allowed more freedom than Oscar is, because I don't think he can handle doing the harassing work for too long.

Real Madrid ready 77m bid...and there it goes. We lost.

He could be, but we need Pogba type of player more than we need Koke.

schurrle and salah - atleast 25mil pounds.

thorgan - 8mil pounds

cech - 10mil

bertrand - 8mil pounds (already a clause)

kakuta, marin, mikel and mvg + any academy products like josh,piazon who clearly dont have any future with us. - atleast 15mil pounds (very conservative)

all in all we can easily raise funds in the range of 65-70mil pounds and reinvest it in getting pogba (50mil pounds) and varane (20 mil pounds).

a squad of

GK - courtois. 2nd GK, blackman

Def - JT, varane/inigo martinez/otamendi, GC, iva, azpi, luis, ake, christensen

CM/DM - matic, pogba, rambo, romeu, RLC/baker

AM-cesc, hazard, oscar, willian, moses, boga/traore

strikers - costa, remy, bamford.

In what world is Varane available for 20m?

[We Hate Scouse 10,326]

In what world is Varane available for 20m?

In the world of Football Manager. Yay virtual reality

[Mission 97]

In what world is Varane available for 20m?

He's obviously been playing too much FIFA Career Mode.

I think that football players play where they want to play, not where their teams or their contracts say they have to play.

77m....I'm pretty sure it would be Real who would have lost!

On a team that has no money concerns at all, adding someone like Pogba is 100% a win.

I fucking hate that team more than any other on the planet right now... They have world stars on their fucking bench and still looking to buy more. Pathetic

To an extent, Varane doesn't have that privilege yet.
