oldportblue 547 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I wish we finished all business until now. Because we still need 2 or 3 new players. And I hate when new players come to the team when new season has started because it's harder for them to integrate to the team fast. Meanwhile Jose got everything he needs and he will have full team training together. This is what he did when we won the title. Got Cesc, Costa, Courtois and filipe luis quick. yeah that is true, doing business early is always a great plus for the team but remember, this is his mourinho's first season at united after they've been shit for a while... also i'm not certain a 35yr old zlatan will be THAT amazing for them, i'm kind of glad they got him and not someone like higuain for example. Also, conte imo is a top 3 manager in the world at the moment and i'm sure he is discussing/building our team with the board as we speak, trying to get players in... if we gets the players he wants by the end of summer, i believe that even if we will be a bit late on other teams like utd (in terms of team building), our lack of european football will greatly help conte in terms of having extra time during weekdays to tinker and make the team click (something no other major rival will have except us)... having all week to prep for our premier league/cup games should be a great asset to conte i think Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif 6,006 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Excited for him to turn out a very good but not great player. So much hype going into him being the next great icon of football. I'm smirking. I'm doubtful he'll make the waves Yaya Toure made for City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nadavTKL 1,787 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 The thing is that United's central midfield wouldnt be too great even with Pogba. Playing Pogba next to Schneiderlin in 4-2-3-1 will not be good enough, Schneiderlin isnt a top player for me. And off course Carrick and Schweinsteiger arent good enough anymore. The only midfield with some potential will be Pogba-Schneiderlin-Herera with Martial-Zlatan-Mkhitaryan, in a 4-3-3. Will Mou play this way? i dont know. But, getting Pogba is a huge accomplishment for their club, really sends out a massage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Gino 377 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 When this club was in the hunt for him, majority seemed all in. If he signs for the red bastards he's overrated and all hype. That's football for ya ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDA 9,949 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 For once I am going to say, Thank fuck we haven't ended up going in for a top player. That kind of money just isnmt justifiable! Pogba is brilliant but he isn't anywhere near Rinaldo\Messi or Bales level! The Euros proved that! Like it or not.. United are defo back in the title race this season!

I mean it when I say I would rather have an in form Kante in our team than the Paul Pogba I saw playing for his country in a tournement his home nation was hosting! There is no denying Pogbas potential, he could potentially become a footballing great but 100 million plus... No thanks! Also the prices that are floating around for other players such as Morata and others are just ridiculous! The market has reached new heights of stupidity!

Yeah...don't think anyone else is going for a 100 million signing this window. At the same time, I hope we don't pay anywhere close to a fee of even 60 mill for someone like Lukaku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think Pogba is like the next best thing out there ... For current generation the benchmark for "THE" next best thing would be Messis, Ronaldos, Augueros, Mullers and he doesnt come anywhere near to it ... Yes, he has potentials but I find him as someone who is over hype by the media (i might be wrong in the future). Also with every coming season we will see the prices of the "next Best thing" players reach insane level ... because there are huge amount of money being pumped into the Premier league and everyone wants to have a piece of it.

Leif 6,006 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 If we were serious about being the best team again, not just one of the best teams who gets top 4 every season, we'd try and bring Conte's previous identity to this team as much as possible, and go all out for both Pogba & Morata after freeing up funds from sales of some players. Selling Costa & Remy would give us enough to sign Morata. So that'd essentially be a trade with 0 pennies lost, for a player who'd demand less wages. (Costa 50m to Atletico, Remy 15m-19m to the Bundesliga.) As for Pogba, we'd free up a standard 50m transfer budget that'd otherwise be spent on the likes of that Swedish defender from Benfica or the guy from Napoli, and find the other 50m from selling Matic & Courtois (there are so many other goalkeepers near enough to his level.) Looking at the current market, Matic gets you 35m, Courtois around 35m-50m. There you go. Costa, Remy, Matic & Courtois out. Pogba & Morata in. It truly can be that simple. A team with Pogba & Morata who're familiar with Conte is a lot more powerful than Courtois and scrapping the latter. Begovic is good enough to start, and I believe once this season is up we could offer a 1-year contract to Buffon who'd want to play under Conte, and have him compete with Begovic. If we wanted to start taking the piss, Cuadrado, Pasalic (even though I'm a fan) & Marin being sold would be another 40-50m to put towards someone like Pogba. We're honestly run by monkeys, because we have *assets worth a lot of money* that we are not using. It's like owning 20 mansions and not understanding you could sell a few to bloat your bank balance giving you the place you *really* want. I'd reinforce our defence the following season, or pick someone up cheap this season. I believe with the amount of control we'd have in midfield with both Pogba & Kante giving the ball to Oscar, we'd rarely have to call our defence into action. In my alternate universe, we end up indeed selling Matic to United after they miss out on Pogba due to Abramovich stunting on Mourinho. I would also put Azpi back in position because i'm crazy.
