It sounds like a stunt to get attention. No way in hell is anyone going to pay that for him. He is good but Jesus H Christ he aint 64m good.
Pogba would be a fool to leave Juve. He is in probably the best team he can be in to learn his trade right now at Juve and playing in Serie A.
If only Utd had kept him and got rid of Welbeck, if only........
We can just sell Welbeck for 64m instead. No, 20m? 13m? free transfer? Anyone?
It wasn't a case of keeping him at United, he was out of contract and wanted to leave.
Yes there was the situation of him being ****ed off at not being given guarantees of playing time but when has United ever bowed down to kids that make demands?

I think SAF got this one wrong (not the gaurenteed playing time but playing him so few times before the situation arose in the first place)
Yes the Italian league is a lot slower in general than the EPL, but ever since the beginning of last season he looked a quality player over there.
Teh one thing SAF did get right about him is he has always come across as a little too big for his boots (for this stage of his career) and he was very much like that at Utd too.
Yeah I agree completely but I would prefer it like this that be held over a barrel becasue he wants more money/playing time, you go down that route and it's a rocky road.
He should have been given lots of opportunities but if he has the attitude of "I should be guaranteed playing time" then he can do one.
From what I heard he was annoyed that Scholes came out of retirement and basically took the place promised to him.
Exactly
LOL
PS only came out of retirement for 1/2 a season didnt he? It wasnt a year and a half was it? (Unless Im mis-remembering Pogba had already left for Italy before PS 1/2 season off before coming out of retirement). So while its funny I cant see how that could have worked.

Pogba is first team at a title winning side, he walked into their first team and is still only 20 now. Bale went for 80+mil at 24. In general as young players play a lot they improve quite a bit over 20-23years old, considering he's only been getting first team games for a year and already looks incredibly impressive, I'm not sure why you're all laughing at 64million.
He's already one of the better central midfielders in europe and he's 20, where will he be at 24, at 28? Potential is a huge amount of value and considering what he's showing at 20 he's one of the highest potential players in Europe currently. 64mil isn't cheap and it sounds relatively high but Hazard went for a huge amount and he's already 23. He's VERY good and has improved even further in the past year. But he also came from a relatively non competitive side with weaker financials, not from a top club. If Hazard was 23 and leaving well, Spurs, he would likely have been bought for a fee closer to that of Bale's.
On top of all this, he could be the face of French football, the next Vieira and for the next 15 years. To have potentially the best French player at a french club has huge value for a team like PSG. Same way Utd pay Rooney more than he's worth on the pitch alone, I don't think anything but an English team would offer Rooney anywhere near that much, likewise Pogba has more value to a team like PSG than any other team.
Either way, I don't think 64 mil is as ridiculous as you all think.
Griezman to Utd, they absolutely should get him, I'd love him at Arsenal(alongside a better front man) probably playing wide left or as part of a front two. Depends on price though, his goal scoring rate went through the roof this year and his value likely will have as well. They sold a player to Real for almost 40mil last summer, he was ridiculously overpriced and I have no idea why Real bought him for that much, very good player and a lot of room to improve but still a silly price for a player from a club with no money. IF anyone can get Griezman for less than 20mil it's a complete no brainer, at 30mil for the potential it's risky and for 40mil I'd wait to make sure he can repeat this seasons form.
Alves isn't particularly great and there has been talk of him leaving for ages. Puyol leaving, valdes leaving, top players leave top clubs quite consistently over time, top players want to prove themselves elsewhere. Or simply the money can be better elsewhere. With what Neymar is on, Messi is soon to be on, even Barca don't have the budget to splash 250k a week on Alves. He's really only had one epic season with Barca. Over time since Guardiola took over their counter attacking, Alves bombing forwards style has changed. Alves is considerably less involved and less useful when they pass it back and forth infront of the opposition box for half an hour before shooting.
Richards, great player, still great potential, unfortunate with injuries. He's got a huge build and might just be injury prone throughout his career, his injuries have meant rarely getting a run to be considered first team and when he has, he's gotten injured again. I'd have him at Arsenal but could probably do with being at a lower table club to make sure he gets games for a couple years.

Scholes came back for 1.5 seasons.
SAF made the decision to play a CM partnership of Rafael and Park in the 2-3 defeat against Blackburn while Pogba sat on the bench unused. The next month Scholes was brought back from retirement.
Pogba left at the end of that season and I can kind of understand why.
psg want Ronnie and pogba in the summer. the money they could get for ronnie would mean they could buy suarez and have some change left.
From 50m to 20m.
What is up with this Mario leaving news?

What on earth would we do with Lallana? Doesn't he basically play the same position we're already trying to cram about 6 other people?
Shaw alone is going to cost that much.
Probably, yeah.
