People could have said the same about Matic.

Anyway i dont think we will sign him. IF he leaves Juve then i think he will go to Madrid.

 
I'd love to see him line up in Blue, he is a remarkable player and it would certainly rile the red half of Manchester.

Benzema has supposedly started calling for him to go to Real and if he were to go it would open up the possibility of JM favourite Sami Khedira leaving. On top of that amongst his listed heroes is one Real Zidane.

So Pogba to Real and Khedira to the Bridge?

 
He's a beast and would sort out our midfield and we would dominate ,price is heavy but he's WC and 23 he would be a core of the team for many years

think I'll cry if all that happens.

 
It's brilliant that we were made fun of for swapping Luiz for Matic and resigning him for 20 mil and Utd have released pogba and are looking at buying him for 60 mil. Good business there Fergie.

 
If we wanted (or more specifically were prepared to pay for) Pogba we wouldn't have bought Fabregas.

 
Hahahahaha the DailyMail ......

You'd have to say that given Cesc signing and inevitable Costa signing the likelihood of Pogba given the asking price is close to zero. Great player no doubt but can't see it happening.

 
Could be because Juve are asking a fortune and you don't pay fortunes for people who don't score lots of goals.

He is good but we could could get a player who is maybe 5-10% less of a player for half the cost.

thats not a very good argument

those 5-10% are very hard to find and thats why those 5-10% are so expensive. not just in football, but in literally every market

Sure in the right position they are gold. A striker who is slightly more effective is worth the money. Central midfielder, not so much. 

Consider the difference between Vidal for example and Pogba, 40m v 60m. Are we saying that Pogba would make that much more of a difference to the team that we would forgo the purchase of a 20m player and Vidal for him?

Or in the case of Fabregas, would we take the equivalent of Fabregas plus Willian or Hazard, instead of Pogba. I'd suggest we would.

Value isn't there.

Intersting point, and one I argued when we signed essien, as we already has parker. My argument then was that Essien might be better but is he 24 million better. In hindsight I was right and wrong. If not for his injuries he would still be dominating the centre mid position.

So to pose you an interesting question, the year is 1998, you have the option of Zidane for 50 million (then a fortune) or Nedved for 30 million. Both stunning players but Zidane maybe an all time top 5 player, nedved one of the best of his generation. What do you do?

 
Both great players. Question is what I would do with the other 20m. You can consider for example we bought Jimmy and Eidur for that around the same time. But that is all with hindsight. 

On Essien and Parker, I couldn't agree more. I certainly felt at the time we should have kept Tiago and Parker and invested elsewhere. I advocated the same with Cahill when we signed Luiz (not knowing of course we would eventually get both).

Arguably the opportunity cost is more important now than it was in both those cases. If you are going to spend 60m on a player in the FFP era then you better be sure he is going to be a world beater, and you better be sure he is worth not only 60m better than what you have, but also 20-30m better than anything else you can get. I'd argue that Pogba isn't even the best midfielder at Juventus, so how anyone could justify spending 60m on him I've no idea. 

 
Dunno how on earth he managed to sign himself. I tried it.. a tad too expensive for me....
