Quite right, you were too busy playing Rafael instead
If Pogba could play at Right back it may have helped us out.

The day we played Rafael at centre midfield was the day we lost Pogba:/ he's not even a fantastic right back! Although not terrible, how did he earn a place in midfield.
If you are kamikaze enough to play Jones, Fellaini, etc in midfield then surely giving Pogba a game can't have been too much out of scope. Even a second half..

Exactly, the whole thing was bizarre (and entirely down to Fergie) but ultimately it's in the past. If he did stay, maybe he wouldn't be as good as he is today.
Yep, madness.
We've reportedly accepted a £13m bid for Wee Joe Allen from Stoke.
Always felt Allen got a lot of unfair stick and funnily enough it's only been under Klopp, who doesn't want him, that he's managed to change the views of a lot of our supporters.
edit: Should be said that it's not a done deal yet as Swansea want him too and he reportedly favours a return there than Stoke.

lol. i stilll don't think he's the answer to uniteds drab midfield. spending £100m on 3 or 4 midfielders would be a wiser investment. any pl club who spends galactics money is bonkers as there's no need to make such statements. we all know it's a league that a team like leicester can win
and on joe allen, i thought he faired pretty well at the euros tbh

£100m on which 3 or 4 midfielders? Several people keep saying this but fail to list these better players available so cheaply.

Nope, Fergie ****** up. This has been accepted by pretty much everyone. He clearly didn't like Pogba and went to ridiculous lengths to not give him a shot.
ryan mason, nabil bentaleb and tom carroll. yours for £20m!
Everyone's favourite bald journalist now in on it:

They were saying sissoko would be available for 20-30 million. Gotze for 20-30 million.
Drax per for 40 million.
The list does not start and stop with Pogba who offers not enough attacking wise and not enough defensively to do either job. France got into trouble as they were trying to play Pogba but had no idea what to do with him.
Just wait till January or next year, it's not like he's going to get any more expensive and no other clubs are going to buy him for this. Wait for juve to cave in and need finances to restructure and then swoop in.
130 million euros is simply madness.

draxler and gotze are not central midfielders. So Sissoko? Based on one good game for France? Ask Newcastle fans how he was last season.

Tell me, what is Pogba world class at?
The real question is, why do you care? If he works out, everyone will be happy.
If we were at financial risk by buying him then absolutely we shouldn't, but it's no problem at all.
He runs a bit when he feels like it. Definitely worth £30m.

Being a central midfielder, and having the potential to be there for some time.
So you've still named 0 other options, come on?
Destroying Serie A defences?
you could've bought 10 wanyama's! think of the shirt sales. he's got more letters in his name than pogba for a start
it's not our place to come up with replacements just because we think the fee is bonkers, which it is. it is a true reflection of the tv revenue, movements in advertising since bale went for crazy money but bale now seems decent value and suarez seems a bargain.
can pogba live up to those two? if he's not going to bring you goals, what is he going to bring you? silly money imo for a player who isn't going to be a game changer.
