Your points are valid. But you might have to look at the Pogba deal from a commercial angle. He is a big draw for Adidas, the kit maker for United and his commercial appeal will increase further with his return to United.

I am fine with City paying 47.5 M quids to Everton and Westham paying 20M for Ayew that was acquired on a free transfer from Marsielle. This is because those fees were paid to a fellow EPL team.

What do you have to say about United paying about 26M pounds for Mkhitaryan who was the best player in the Bundesliga last season (even though he was in the last year of his contract)? No one is praising Mou and Woodward for the deal in a transfer window that a 1 season player such as Leroy Sane was acquired for 37M quids.

City are even more irritating when you think about how theyve been throwing maga money upandan.

Mangala and Sterling cost almost 100m between them alone.

Too much money in EPL mehn.

Exactly. Pogba will never score such huge goals like Bale, so judging him with that is unfair, but using midfield criteria like assists, interceptions, tackles or passes, will be a better benchmark.

But in all, we overpaid for that ninja.

Agreed. I dint even want him signed b4 sef. But he's here now. And he cost us £89 mill. We'll just ve to deal with it. That's just how the market is right now. Abi shey no be Watford reject £30-something mill for Ighalo??

But a sininging that is not even up to 24 hrs and some people don dey claim it doesn't maje sense.

Pogba is what we really need to be honest, our game on Sunday shows why

MrDojo:


Bro, are u saying suarez is not worth the T.Fee barca paid for him ....

Bale had 2 PFA's and a young PFA award....is that not enough..mind you the guy was still 23/24 ( already the best player twice in EPL ) and an attack-minded player....from the above stats of 104 assists N goals....in 100+ app the guy merit the T.Fee IMO....

Madrid can ver fork out the 89m for pogba simple becuz it won't be a wise investment on their part.....

Kudos to manure tho...you have the money get the player....

This clown must be an arsenal fan.

Diademk07. You keep pushing this harrop fella,are you his manager?

Pogba in numbers.
He is really lacking in the things that make up a mildfileder.

Lmao... Mangala and Sterling deals were super outrageous! Both might not be starters this season.

What's your opinion about Chelsea coughing up 75M pounds for Lukaku... aka Mr. Jambody merchant..

124 shots for only 8 goals.

13 shots per goal?

True. Now he's here I pray he comes good for the sake of the club and to prevent the attack of haters if things should go south.

But TBH, looking at the current transfer madness, Pogba's deal ain't too much. I'm saying this coz if Cr7, Bale or people like Neymar and or top stars moved in this current madness, none will cost less than 120million pounds. It's crazy mehn.

I won't mind us getting another good DM coz I doubt only Pogba can solve our midfield conundrum. But let's see how it pans out.

Check last page. Lukaku is not worth 75m...

Then again, if Martial can cost 50m, then maybe I need to re-evaluate my stance

55 tackles seriously
42 key passes

When N'golo is averaging 170+

eph12:

And you're not going to allow Pogba justify his fee first before calling out the dogs?

Or you saying only attackers are allowed to cost much?

Thank you o. Asides the fact that Messi and C.Ro are not of this world, that is the kind of reasoning that has made no outfield player since Cannavaro win the Balon D' Or. And dats how it ll continue for a while. Coz after those two, it ll probably be between Neymar and Bale.

SIRcumalot:
Diademk07.
You keep pushing this harrop fella,are you his manager?

Manager ke?

The reality is the lad is good, better than Perreira. I watched one of his performance vs City youth team and he stood out as the best on the pitch with his visionary passes,dribbling and awareness. Not only that, the team went to shite as soon as he got injured and was subbed out.

He and Poole were the only players that impressed me in that match because it was Poole who was blocking out everything out after everything went to shite as soon as Harrop left the pitch. Furthermore, Poole composure and passing looked good in that match.

And the match played by the reserves few wks ago, I didn't watch the match but from what I saw he lifted the team spirit as soon he came on by scoring 2 spectacular goals, one of the goal was a winning goal that overturned the match from 1-1 to 2-1.

Pogba is goal record is excellent for an AM already and he's already far ahead of his growth curve than Bale was when Madrid signed him.


In reality Pogba is already a world class player but he has the potential to be even better, and it's no susprise most folks are always guilty of overrating him, while others underrate him. The latter is more prevalent these days.

At 23, he has already made an appearance on the world best XI. Bale has never come close to that level of achievement in his entire career and he's already 27. Bale isn't that good sef
We overpaid for Pogba no doubt but a player is only worth what you can spend on him, especially in this market. People should make peace with the price and stop coming up with crazy expectations and demands from him. He's not responsible for the price.

To put things into perspective, they said the previous world record Bale's fee was only justifiable for attackers like Ronaldo etc that score so many goals. But in 3 seasons at Madrid, Bale's average goal per season is actually less than 20 goals. I prove this on some other thread. He certainly hasn't justified the fee, so what people are claiming now is simply revionism.

He was the highest rated player in the Italian league last season by Whoscored.

That alone is enough for me and Elampiro.

That aside he really need to improve, what I see there is not enough

From the look of things, both Manchester Derbies promises to be the highest rated matches of this season.

Who's had a better Summer between the two Manchester Clubs?!

Chai. Someone buy this man a truck load of Origin for making so much sense.
There are some people here that ll kill us bcoz Boateng made Euro TOTT and has won a World Cup with no significant individual achievements.(Anyways, story for anoda day)

Yet there are other people that think with all Pogba has achieved at 23, 89mill is too much for him considering the huge potentials he has to be even better.

SMH

7th in dribbling? Lol!

The same serie A where the lot of Shaqiri, Cudraudo, Jovetic, Lamela and that former Arsenal's Ivory coast player et al dey dance around the slowness of the league? Na Pogba con be 7th?

Epl go show am?

lordfalcao:

For 89m.

Last summer I was crying out for Pogba at Chelsea myself, but when the bidding reportedly went to 65m I began to pipe low cos I knew that boy was/is certainly not worth the price, especially given the position he is going to play at United.

SIRcumalot:

he was still one of our best performer last season.
na big disservice we dey do our self if we no test am there.

Abegi, the only good thing about Blind last season was that he was fit. He actually cost us the West Ham match that should have given us a top four finish. Gaal should have played Jones or Mensah against the tall hammers forwards.

stop worrying yourself and go pay everton the 75million they are asking for lukaku.
and just be happy that Leicester sold you Kante for relatively small money.

Oasis007:

Raumdeuter, who has no excuse not to win the league now?

Pep- 149m

Jose- 145m

Wow, if some people can give themselves 1% of the expectation they are setting on someone who is already a definition of success, and is in no way aware nor bothered by the existence of some BSs idly written about him, then we will have a lot of successful people around us.

Brexit made Pogba more costly for us.

He's likely to say that; Pep is new to the League, why Mourinho is already a part and parcel of EPL!
