Are Manchester United fans so unhappy cause they will be the Europa League next season? Paying over the odds for Pogba shoud cheer them up
 
Gone a bit quiet on the Subotic front, sounds like he's scouting around the premier league clubs, which if that's the case I'd say our chances are slim.

Negredo the latest name linked which I wouldn't mind.

From Spain: Mendes makes Mourinho ‘favourite’ to sign La Liga star for Man United

Andre Gomes
A realisation (maybe a delusion, time will tell) at Valencia that Andre Gomes could go for more than €60m has changed things. Rather than approaching the situation with a heavy heart, local Valencia newspaper Super Deporte now seem rather excited.

Super Deporte explain that Valencia’s standpoint is now: €65m for Andre Gomes or he’s going nowhere.

The Spanish club would have to give Benfica, who they bought the player from, some of the transfer fee and that’s pushed things even higher.

Manchester United are held aloft as the team at the front of the queue. Jose Mourinho is named as ‘favourite’ to sign Gomes, because of the manager’s relationship with agent Jorge Mendes.

Super Deporte don’t think Manchester United recruitment already this window would rule Gomes out, and they say the club could strike at any time.

Barcelona, Real Madrid, Chelsea and Juventus are also linked, but, unsurprisingly, none of them are keen on paying the asking price.
 
I honestly don't want Pogba, its too much money for someone who isn't worth it.

Nowadays I don't think it is. The agent fee is more of a concern, but that plays a big part now.

It will all depend on how he does, assuming we get him, if he's amazing then nobody will care what he cost. If he's rubbish then it won't be such good news.
 
At the end of the day Manchester United are a business, as such they wouldn't be spending €120m on a player if they didn't think they could then turn that into profits.
 
Kante + Kroos for example

I'm not convinced we are strong enough at RB either, id like to get someone like Fabinho there.

Kante isn't the same sort of player and what makes you think we can get Kroos? Kroos is more of a passer but he's not particularly like Pogba either. He's also 3 years older.

It's really not as simple as saying I want X player instead, many top players simply won't be sold, Pogba is at a club who do sell, for the right price.

using transfermarkt

Julian Draxler £20.40Mil
Alexandre Lacazette £25.50Mil
Mauro Icardi £27.20Mil

Firstly, they'd probably all cost more, and I'd rather have Pogba than them.
