If you say it fast enough, you can pretend we signed Ciro Im-MoPlay.

Could play him out right, sending crosses into Lukaku and Jan Kohler.

Dunno about Boatang he looked awful in the world cup seemed to of lost his legs!

Plus look at it this way if he was still playing at top level Bayern wouldn't be selling him!

There is no denying that Woodward is great at getting in the sponsors. I think we could do with somebody to run the on field stuff like signings and managers etc to work alongside Woodward.

pjohnson · 06-08-2018 03:37PM

Jaysus Rashford has joined some company.

Ibrahimovic
Rooney
Van Nistelrooy
Sheringham

the previous incumbents of it!

If only there was an existing position in football whereby somebody with a good football knowledge, good negotiating qualities and who could work with the manager could take up some sort of director position....

We could call it the “football guy who works with manager director” or something like that....

It’s a real shame that no position exists for this role :pac:

They didn't use actually squad numbers back then so didn't count it (or were there squad numbers when Hughes rejoined?)

They're iconic 10s tho, no?

Yes Hughes was number 10 from when they were introduced in 93/94 season.

Don't get the "I'd rather no one than Boateng" posts

There's players I'd rather more, but I'd also rather the money be spent than not, and while I don't know much about the specific player, having a player used to playing for a top level team, at a top level, is better than nothing right now.

It looks, for instance, as if we can get Boateng now and Toby next summer. Boateng would be a short term solution, but a short term solution seems better than none at all.

Again, its a "cutting your nose off to spite your face" mentality.....

It must be so hard to find sponsors for United. The market is what it is. He hasn’t done anything revolutionary.

After our last 2 signings from Bayern, I'd always be wary of signing anyone they're willing to let go.

Ouch!

Not the greatest of sources, but it certainly feels as if the Italian press have started the "PogBack" narrative, and this will play into it....

Would we even profit if we sold him? Suppose the World Cup win boosts his value because his United performances sure as fúck haven't.

I don’t know anything about Savic but if he’s good, Jose wants him, doesn’t want Pogba and united can get a decent fee for Pogba I’m all for it....

The issu is "decent few".

The reports are saying €110m. In the current market, with such little time left, I'd want at least €160m.

I'd also not be massively confident we'd get the required business done either.

Turtwig · 06-08-2018 05:23PM

Demichelis joined city as a short term option. Turned out to be quite good for them in the end. Boateng is better than most other options available. If the club can get him they should.

dor83 · 06-08-2018 05:38PM

If Juve actually want Pogba back Utd should just tell them a straight swap of him and Darmian for Pjanic and Sandro, I think Pjanic is an excellent player and would be an improvement on Pogba(more consistent) and while he is more valuable Sandro for Darmian would make up the difference.

At his best he probably is but how often is he at his best for Utd?

How does that benefit us if he won’t put in the same performances for united?

I don’t care what he did for Juventus or does for France if he won’t put in the same efforts for united.

Funny that Pogba said he didn’t change his haircut to stop distractions and focused on the job at hand for France..... Jose was quoted as saying that his France performances showed he can play brilliant when he has no distractions and focuses on what his team needs.

Let me guess, he needs to play alongside Kante to perform? Or Deshamps makes him feel more loved? Or he played in a slightly different role to the one people were saying he couldn’t do at united?

Eventually bangkok you have to see that Pogbas issues at united and failure to perform at the levels we saw at the WC are not all completely down to external factors beyond Pogbas control. So then what good is it united having a world class player who’s not arsed making it work and will only step it who
When it suits him.

i blame jose.

did you see that "performance" yesterday v Bayern? nothing short of disgraceful. wouldnt be a bit surprised to see leicester turn up to old trafford and beat utd

No he's not, Pjanic is a fantastic player who is in the top tier for his position and while Pogba has the potential to be probably the best player in the world(certainly in his position) he doesn't show it enough for Utd. Over the course of a full season I would much rather have Pjanic in a team than Pogba right now, plus he is one of the best free kick takers around so that is a bonus.
