No thanks to Pogba. We simply can’t make such a risky signing.

There’s an old saying in Texas, gotta go big, or don’t go at all.

We can't afford Pogba anyway and not in a million years will be consider downgrading to us

If Pogba wanted to come here it'd be a no-brainer. You can't pass up opportunities like that, even if I think we would be unlikely to get much more out of him than United have.

He's not going for something that as best is a sideways Premier League move though. He's moving to reinvigorate his career and save his legacy as a player, which means there are only 3-4 clubs in the world he'll go to. Milan might not be an outlandish option either, not with Zlatan there.

I have a gut feeling that he will end up going back to Turin.

(with Dybala possibly going the other way)

With Modric damn near 40, Madrid would be a logical destination

Hope that Dybala swap doesn't happen , he would be ace for United

Dybala would not move the needle the way this kid Fernandes did. He will just cause formation headaches. Dybala is definitely a striker your team does not want to get

Is that re him as a player/style or the baggage he brings?

He’s a decent guy. As a player. He’s really good. But you’ll struggle to place him and forwards together. He doesn’t quite have the attributes to be the perfect 9, 10 or winger. So he ends being this weird tweener. He’s probably best in an old fashioned 442 with a big man like Giroud

Dybala would be great for us as a number 10 IMO. He has lost his way a little under Pirlo but guy's talent has never been in question. We need someone like him badly.

Pogba is a hard no. A lot of mediocre players are capable of playing well here and there. Only quality players are able to sustain a high level of performances over time. As for Pogba, he has never shown he's able to play well for a sustained period of time. He's a complete waste of time and money. Laughably overrated.

By the way just how right was I about Griezmann - guy was ridiculously hyped up on here

Credit where credit is due. You've never rated Griezmann and were always anti-even-consider-signing-him.

Rumours of a Xhaka-Eriksen loan swap deal.

Xhaka is tailor made for Serie A.

Hard pass. Arteta and edu can bugger off if thats the type of short sighted deals they're bringing to the table
