mediator 2,026 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Paul Pogba counts as a home-grown player in England as he spent three seasons (but not 36 months) at Manchester United during his age 16-21 years.http://www.thehardtackle.com/2014/english-fa-the-issues-of-the-home-grown-rules-and-the-difficulty-of-central-planning/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadavTKL 1,787 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 We got Cesc, and this forum still praying for another player, and then another player... we wont sign Pogba because we dont need him, we have enough options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in NEED of a MC. Cesc will play as a AMF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Cesc, Matic, Ramires, MVG, Tiago(?), Mikel is more than enough for the midfield. It's balanced, buying Pogba is an overkill in the current situation. Unless someone like Oscar (so Cesc is the bonafide #10, but I really believe Mourinho wants Oscar there) or Ramires is off it doesn't make sense.

Also, none of the aforementioned players are at the same level as Pogba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Gino 377 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 From Kroos to now Pogba, the next silly season flavor of the month. If healthy, Marko Van Ginkel could impress this season and with a full season on loan, maybe next year Ruben Loftus-Cheek can make an impact alongside Matic.

Also, none of the aforementioned players are at the same level as Pogba.Until Mikel is off, and until the Tiago transfer doesn't appear to be happening, it won't make sense to me.It's about squad balance and players knowing their roles. Pogba would have to start almost every game, so would Cesc, so would Matic. That means Ramires becomes pretty obsolete, Oscar won't play a lot of games (not going to happen IMO), Willian/Schurrle/Salah will have to fight for that RW spot... As it stands now, it doesn't really make sense.I love Pogba as a player, think he's the next best upcoming CM in the world but it won't happen IMO.

nadavTKL 1,787 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Cesc as a CM next to Matic (and Oscar) means we'll finaly be less a re-active team, we're going to control lots of games even against the big teams. I prefer this a lot more than Matic-Pogba, Pogba is still very young and wont bring the same influence as Cesc imo, and he isnt the playmaker we need next to Matic, we'll still be re-active with him imo cause he doesnt have the skills to "run" the team.So i dont really get the huge fuss about this player even after we got Cesc. Its like people we'll never be satisfied. But actually, im reading this forum for a couple of years and i think you all just too inlove with hugh-black dudes. Seriously.

Miki-Liki 405 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Potential midfield:Pogba - Fabregas (CM) Matić (DM)A fabulous team in FIFA. However, a deal seems highly unlikely. And the price is ridiculous. His contract expires in 2016, if he doesn't extend it, he'll be a bargain next summer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom2013 446 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Real Madrid president said some weeks ago to Cadena Ser that definitely Pogba and Aguero won't play next season in Madrid. If we want him it doesn't seem we are going to have problems with that club... at least this season.I would buy him for any club in the world, but if he comes here I think we should sell Ramires and Mikel or Van Ginkel.

The Rising Sun 711 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 When no one on twitter is claiming their insider knowledge that pogba to chelsea might happen, surely there is no truth or even a rumor with a tinge of possibility here.Twitter folks are the first to start claiming all this ITK type of shit, and if none of them have the balls to even suggest this is happening, i kind of believe them.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Fabregas in terms of work rate and defensive ability offers as much as Mata. He isnt someone who would run whole game and thats why I dont see him as CM. But if that works fine, I think we dont need Pogba. But if Cesc cant work in CM properly, then I am sure we need either Pogba or Vidal. But we definaltey dont need James, Kroos or whoever...Oscar and Cesc are enough for now, unless one gets sold.

nadavTKL 1,787 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Fabregas in terms of work rate and defensive ability offers as much as Mata.You can't be serious. Cesc work rate isn't as good as Koke or Vidal, but it's much better than Mata. Takes seconds in a game to see that. Under pep in Barca he offered pure tactic roles against big teams, he was pressing, things Mata doesn't do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannyfreshh 164 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Pogba looks to be a great player but we don't need him right now. Let's get luis and costa and well be ready to win the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
