Anybody that wants to criticise the Pogba deal in isolation is just hating. Stones that couldn't get ahead of Smalling and Cahill in the National team is about to be bought for 54m. If you want to criticize pogba money and still make sense, then you have to criticise most the major transfers that have happened in recent times. 8 Likes |

PietroRico: Both transfers are crazy. As with most of the transfers in the game. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 11:43am On Aug 09, 2016 |
elampiro: You are right. 1st choice partnership when everyone is fit would likely be Smalling on the left and Bailly on the right with possibly Blind and Jones as the respective subs. I would also like us to try Schneiderlin and Pogba combination in midfield if we are going to go with a 2 man central midfield......the major problem is Schneiderlin's passing inconsistency. Likely Carrick and Fellaini will be the like for like replacements. Herrera is the X factor, we have no one like him in midfield in terms of style......I don't know what Mourinho has in plan for him 1 Like |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SIRcumalot: 1:12pm On Aug 09, 2016 |
elampiro:some guys here have forgotten he didn't impress in that position the fiset time around, but playing a full season as a CB where he contested balls and marked bigger,faster striker may just have helped him out. a few games as a DM again to see how far won't hurt. |

So we got Pogba for £89m in total fees after all; better deal than I expected. What happened to those salty folks screaming £120m and £20m to Raiola his agent? Herrera or Morgan; One of them needs to step up massively and claim a spot in midfield this season; our season might depend on it. If they fail to, then we'll surely have to bring in another high profile midfielder next season. Our midfield has always been a mess. Like I've continuously stated, the signing of a single midfielder (Pogba) won't solve all our issues in the middle but it's a very good start to what we wanna achieve. |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by chrisley024(m): 1:59pm On Aug 09, 2016 |
Left to me, Young should be the 1st name on the sheet for clear out. Don't really know what he does here. Hoping rumours of him to Palace is true |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by GBR1(m): 2:06pm On Aug 09, 2016 |
The 4-4-2 was at the peak of it's popularity in the late 90s and the early beginning of this century but most top teams don't adapt it currently for obvious reasons. Mourinho himself pretty much ended it's use in England when he came along with his 4-3-3 then. But these days he prefers the 4-2-3-1 and there's a good chance we'll adapt that but I hope not. With the exclusion of Rooney, we have more players suited to a midfield 3 and it's best fitted for Pogba, our record signing. A younger Carrick would've been good enough in a midfield 2 or the deepest midfielder in this trio but the older one has lost most of his legs and that makes everything a little more complicated because of our current midfielders, only Carrick has the required skill set to sick back defensively and dictate play. IIRC Jose has done without the use of that kind of midfielder in the past. His first Chelsea team had Essien, Lampard and Makelele who wasn't exactly known for dictating play. There was great synergy between them however which is lacking among our midfielders. As some have stated earlier, United pretty much didn't use to play with such a midfielder in the past but then we hardly lacked steel in midfield. I'm very curious to see what Mourinho will adapt eventually. |

GBR1:hard to believe really, I just hope we're not playing Mago-mago. You know Barcelona tried to fool the public about the actual price of the money they payed for Neymar and they entered wahala. |

Chelseafan1: Bro STFU! Pogba left for free! I repeat again he left for free after running down his contract. So how on earth do you expect a buy back clause to be included in the deal when there was actually no deal. Next time troll with sense abeg. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by GBR1(m): 2:21pm On Aug 09, 2016 |
SIRcumalot:No. Pogba's Mom isn't like Neymar's Dad ![]() I saw a letter by Juventus which disclosed the details of the payment. They would eventually get about €72m after taxes and everything. Raiola must have taken his cut from that money for Juve to get so low. 1 Like |

Lana1: he was paid 20% of the deal by Man United This deal is good news for EPL as a whole cos I believe generally the level of football will be raised akin to the first coming of Mou when the EPL top 4 were performing exceptionally in Europe. Mou and Pep will make EPL great again. The Pogba deal is a clear message to Europe from England by Man Utd. |
