Juventus General Manager admits they probably can't keep Pogba in the Summer because they can't compete with the wages likely to be offered by other Clubs. Assuming Messi stays, which he probably will, this will be the transfer of the summer. If Real want him they may blow everyone out of the water. Surely they won't go for Reus and Pogba?! If not there'll be an almighty fight between City the rags possibly Chelsea and Bayern. There's no one for one replacement for Yaya but he comes closest to it. If Pogba is in our future the future is bright. Sorry but Barkley doesn't come close.

That's right. Bang on.

I hate the way he looks. But he can plays the footy

Cheers

I would love to see Pogba at City, a much better bet than an injury prone Barkley. We have the financial power to do this, but are we allowed to use it and remain within the FFP regulations? The Rags would hate it if he landed at City.

Whisky nose basically said good riddance when he pissed off to Juventus. He wasn't getting enough first team game time it seemed. Ferguson's still a director so that won't help the scum's chances. We might have to sell one or two to help get him; Jovetic for instance and he's wanted by Juve.

It is an absolute must that he is signed. I will be absolutely livid if somebody else gets him. Time for the board to pull their finger out and grow a set of stones for the first time since 2011.

Yep put simply he is an absolute must for City

I'm sure Gill will insert an unknown clause in the FFP framework to ensure we fail, after submitting our accounts.

Can actually see a P/E with Jovetic going the other way and a big bunch of cash being something Juve would consider.

Fingers crossed.

It pisses me off that we didn't just sign the rag prick when we were linked to him when he left them.

With regards to the rags 100% he won't be going back there. I know for a fact he was pissed off with the way he was treated and didn't like that the club just backed Ferguson.

Juventus star Paul Pogba has explained why he chose to leave Manchester United but has admitted he still loves the club.

Much to the dismay of United fans, the 21-year-old has developed into one of the top young players in the game since departing Old Trafford in 2012.

Pogba played a major role in helping Juve clinch their third successive Scudetto last season, scoring seven goals and setting up seven more in 36 Serie A appearances for the Bianconeri.

“I'm impatient,” Pogba said in the latest FourFourTwo magazine about leaving United. 'It was the feeling I had. The coach (Sir Alex Ferguson) had faith in me but didn't put me on.

“He said that I was too young. He said "your time will come" but it never did. It didn't come. But it does not mean I will speak ill of Manchester United. I love the club.”

Pogba recently signed a contract extension with the Turin giants until June 2019, and Juve general director Giuseppe Marotta says the club have no need to sell the player, who has been linked with a return to United.

"What was a promising player has become a reality,” Marotta told Sky Italia. "Every European club is watching him and have been in contact with us.

"We, however, want to have a strong team made up of champions. We have an important player in Pogba and we don't have a need to sell him."

The midfielder scored a sensational volley to help Juve beat Napoli 3-1 in Naples on Sunday and increase his tally to four goals in 15 Serie A appearances.

Pogba’s agent, Mino Raiola, is adamant his player is one of the most valuable in the world and believes he will only continue to improve.

"Is Pogba's price tag around 80million euros (£66million)? He is one of the most expensive players on the market," Raiola told Italian radio station RAI.

"Considering his age, he has room for improvement and he is among the best. Of course, the asking price always depends on eventual buyers."

If Reus is off to Real (as seems to be the case according to most reports) then Pogba must be our No.1 transfer target

Isco could be surplus.

Pogba wouldn't class as homegrown as he was at them lot 35 months not the 36 months he needed to be.

I could also see Kolorov in the part exchange as well as Jovetic.

I know his cousin. Well tried though matey.

That Agent is a tosspot. He's Ibrahimovic's Agent too and is a grade 1 arsehole. That will be a factor.

On the plus side, in Jovetic and Kolarov we have things Juve want so that helps.

I recall him saying he knew his days were numbered at the swamp when Rafeal played in CM ahead of him.

This player is a must. We need a driving force in centre midfield someone who'll dominate the big games.

£35m plus Jovetic seems the right figure for me

He will go to Madrid.

Ahh well Barkley and Isco it is then.

You'll be waiting a long time for Isco. Unless Pellegrini and Begeristein leave he won't be coming here.

He's apparently Persona non grata with those two, having given his word and then gone back on it.
