Agreed if psg are interested he will go there nowhere else

The very same Paris that fell victim to a large scale terrorist attack just a few months ago and continues to remain on high alert regarding further incidents? That's unfair. Those attacks could happen anywhere and nevermind the fact that the chances of being caught up in such an attack are very very small.

Disagree. PSG can offer him a lot but I wouldn't be shocked to hear pogba saying how much he would like to play under Guardiola. It's a reoccurring theme.

If people are going to use Manchester ' s shit weather as a reason for going elsewhere then the current high state of alert in France is a rather valid point. Despite Tevez declaring our restaurants are awful he must have been dining at McDonald's because we have some great eateries too. Anyone would think we live in caves up here. |

Now now. I know you missed out on pep but I guess Jose will do.
I'm more than happy with plan B though. |

I'm not convinced we were ever even in for him tbh, it looks like the plan to go to City had been going on for some time.
i have no problem to say that he was probably chelseas first choice, the same with man u |

This is a different period of time with us, José is very different from Sir Alex, and plus it is not as if we couldn't afford to bring him back, if we wanted to get him, we could.
You would think after seeing your team lose out to other clubs on players over the years you would tone down the arrogance. Time for a reality check. Man Utd are not the club that every player wants to play for. |

"if we wanted to get him we could" I think man U is the very last place pogba will go. Uniteds transfer record in recent years is hardly stellar. A spend of well over a quarter billion in a few years and what sort of players did they attract? Hardly AAA. |

. http://www.espnfc.co.uk/story/2811128/paul-pogba-keen-to-work-under-future-man-city-boss-guardiola Btw I don't think the transfer will happen, the fees being talked about from Juve camp are supposedly beyond ridiculous. |

I don't think Codeblue is in any position to lecture on "arrogance" after her comments about Everton and John Stones last summer.
And as for Kobashi, I know you like to rubbish all talk that links anyone with Liverpool or whoever it is you're supporting this week, but the same doesn't neccessarily apply to other clubs. |

Bayern and dortmund come out swinging
http://www.skysports.com/football/ne...to-real-madrid http://www.manchestereveningnews.co....-city-11400947 Man Utd definitely have the wealth to compete with anyone else just a lot more competition now. Remember di Maria only signed cos PSG were held back by FFP. |

With so many of the big teams coming off poor seasons and with new managers installed, I'm sure some ridiculous fees will be thrown about this summer so I don't see a £50 million+ bid for Pogba being out of the question for City, especially if he has a good tournament at the Euros.

I think it will be £70 mil + for Pogba. Huge amount but his only 24.

I think that's absolutely crazy money for him but there will be a gap in the City midfield assuming that Toure is moved on, which he should be.

I think it's 5 minimum. Could be more like 7 or 8.
