It's the typical Pep Guardiolaism, he turned De Bruyne and David Silva, natural AMs, to CMs, still fairly attacking roles. Just start from deeper position. Martinez is in that similar school of thought in NT, tho De Bruynes best game was when they benched Mertens and played him just behind Lukaku instead. He could start attacks much more and scored too.

That deeper position is no issue per se, but it is when he's playing in a two man midfield with Witsel next to him.

With Man City he plays a much more protected role.

There's no midfielder I want more then him. Except Modric.

Modric has two years left at the very most. Pogba has another 7 in which he'll be a monster.

If we get Pogba and Ronaldo in the same summer, we will win the CL. No doubt whatsoever about that.

Didnt Hazard have a meh season though?
Hazard is about much more than stats though and he's been playing in a team that's no good for him for years now.

If he joins Real Madrid he'll absolutely explode the way he did at this World Cup. Our best player by far.

Lol @ the recompra. MU broke transfer record back then, they bowed to our demands that much; why would they implement such a stupid clause? Think about it.

Pogba is unrealistic and always was, let it go :)

If we get Pogba, I'd be very concerned we sell Dybala.

Assuming Mandzukic gets any meaningful playing time: Costa or Dybala is on the bench if we play a 4-3-3. If we play a 4-2-3-1? Well are we going to play with Pjanic, Pogba as DMs...defensively suspect to say the least.

It won't be easy finding the right formation. Dybala and CR7 seems like a weird mix, as does Pogba with CR7. With Pjanic it could work if you put a Vidal type next to the two of them.

Dybala risks being sacrificed I agree.

Hazard is just so quick and fast. i remember towards the end of the Brazil game, he picked up a ball and started running towards their goal. some Brazilian defender (Marcelo i think) was trying to catch and foul him but couldnt, and Hazard got away. he was faster with the ball than Marcelo without. add to that his technique and everything else and you can see why hes so dangerous whenever hes on the ball

please dont make Wittl wear his avatar, hes gonna jinx it this time :scared:

Yeah, Hazard is absolutely mental. It's going to sound like blasphemy, but I might even like his playing style more than I did Del Piero's (who will forever be my childhood idol).

But Hazard.. the speed is out of this world. I remember first seeing him on Eurosport aged 15 and he was presented as one of the biggest talents in the world. It was obvious then already that he'd make it.

The only logic:
1) Accounting profit & loss. 60M earns Man U a breakeven wrt to an accounting loss
2) Mino insisted it was included (as a part of the deal) and sold it to Man U on the idea that Juventus has a small club mentality - which Mino himself has expressed.
3) Man U themselves doubt Juventus' willingness to 1) pay the required salary (which is 25% higher than Higuain's) and 2) pay 60M (presumably in 1 payment)
4) Man U arrogantly thought that he would never want to return to Juventus because a) the EPL is bigger with more money b) he won everything in Serie A c) they believe they are a bigger club.

If this was the argument - the chances of Juventus taking the recompra would be low. And honestly: it would require a perfect storm:
a) Pogba not happy at United because a) his brand was damaged b) he doesn't see eye to eye with Mourinho
b) Juventus deciding this is a critical opportunity to invest and grow the brand (via Ronaldo)
c) Juventus making the UCL final another time, and getting very close again the following year.

If the recompra was put in: it would require
a) Juventus willing too pay his wage or Pogba taking a cut (the latter would only happen if he was a complete failure)
b) Pogba's desire to leave.
And quite frankly, at the time of the sale: the conditions were that if a recompra like that was activated it would likely be due to Pogba's performance being very disappointing and his value plummeting. What wouldn't have been considered is that: Pogba might prefer Juventus (after all he 'chose' United), his value hasn't imploded, and that Juventus would be willing to pay him his desired wage (or he'd take a pay cut).

Not saying this is the scenario - but that would be the type of condition where United might agree to a clause like this.
