I suspect that the only way we're going to be able to get Pogba is if Oscar goes the other way. Juventus have already expressed interest in acquiring Oscar, and without a player-swap being part of the deal, the transfer fee we would have to pay is just too high. Pogba's arrival would mean an inevitable switch to a 4-3-3, with Pogba slotting-in alongside Matic and Fabregas in the midfield three. Given that he isn't a winger, Oscar is probably the odd-man-out in this scenario (more so than Cuadrado), and I feel that it's highly unlikely that he will be be content with starting most games on the bench.

I think the fact that we have several players that they're interested in gives us a huge advantage, but I think City will be so desperate that they'd still probably blow us out of the water in terms of wages they'll offer him.

Let's hope the lure of London, actually playing for a top manager unlike at City, and being in a midfield with Cesc and Matic is enough to convince him.

looking at the big picture. e.g. what it would cost us not only in transfer fee and salary. but subsequent players who would end up leaving either in a package deal or because their path to the 1st team would be blocked..say for example..Oscar leaving in a package deal and RLC leaving eventually and possibly other Midfielders. possible changing of base formation to try and fit him in.

I`m not as pro this transfer as most.

Hard to let Oscar go, but if it means Pogba in I'm fine with it! Often Juventus play with WB, so Cuadrado would suit them. Oscar and Cuadrado for Pogba would be perfect.

Griezmann or Sterling(no more than 40£m) in too would be amazing.

Maybe change from 4231 to 433? (Matic, Song holding). (Cesc, Pogba, Ramires and RLC as midfielders). (Willian, Hazard, Sterling or Griezmann and Traore). (Costa, Falcao, Traore and Solanke)

I'm hoping Cuadrado still has a shining reputation in Serie A. Throw him in as make-weight in the deal. Salah will go to Fiorentina. Why would Cuadrado and Salah both go to Juve and compete for the same position?

As for Oscar, I still believe he will have strong seasons for Chelsea in his prime. Would not sell him
