[michalcfc 69]

hypothetical question. If both players became available but you could only have one at their current valuation i,e Reus for 22m and Pogba for 55m plus. Who would you rather we sign.

Reus, only because I've seen him play a lot more than I have seen Pogba.

I prefer Pogba, because he is still 21 and HG.

After that we could buy Reus, because we still have one non HG quota

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.

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

I like Koke more too. Killer on set pieces, good workrate, young. Pogba is a tad overrated

Pogba admits he loves Manchester United

Speaking to FourFourTwo about his final months at Old Trafford, Pogba admitted: "I’m impatient. It was the feeling that I had.

"The coach had faith in me, but didn’t put me on.

"He said that I was too young. He said: ‘Your time will come'.

“It didn’t come. But it doesn’t mean I will speak ill of Manchester United. I love the club.”

fingers crossed man utd don't put a bid in for him

matic-pogba

the mid of matic-cesc has come into question a couple of times this season already. also, we have some quality in depth in the AM position but absolutely no depth for DMs/CMs.

Whole heartedly agree. Fabregas would be unreal in that central attacking midfield slot as well.

This is what i had in mind as well. Simply put, Pogba fulfils a more crucial role.

[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...

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.

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.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

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.
