So tell me what you think is going on? 120M is too good to refuse to us?
It's not too good in the sense that we need the money. We will be fine without it. It's too good in the sense that Pogba is not worth that much and our management think they can improve the team by selling him and buying other players, Higuain + CM. I agree with them in general, even though I wouldn't spend the money on Higuain.
I think if we really didn't want to accept, he would have agreed to stay, for a bigger wage of course. There has been no indication of anything else. I mean, if he was so keen on moving there, they wouldn't offer him more than double his current wage. This whole thing "we only sell if the player wants to go" is a story for the fans. How do you imagine that happens? Pogba says, "I want to stay" and we refuse all offers, 100m, 120m, 200m, we don't sell. Next year he says, "I want to go" and we transfer list him and wait for the best offer, which is 80m and we sell...
If Pogba demanded a transfer and Marotta is the tooth fairy or sth and always accommodates, why are Manure paying us 120m? That's a lot of money. Why not 80m or 60m? Would we still sell if the highest offer was 60m? I don't think so. So, it turns out that we only sell if he wants to go AND we get what we want.
Bottom line, "we only sell if the player wants to go" is a story for the fans. Like Vidal. Most likely, the management had a falling out with him because of the drinking and car crash, and the attitude, and we decided to sell. But the story is convenient for everyone. The board doesn't get blamed for selling a popular player, while Vidal gets to say how he loves Bayern and his whole life up to now was merely preparation for this moment, and the Bayern fans love it. Much better than "I was happy at Juve, but they kicked me out because I'm a drunkard."
