I dont think that the fee is the issue I think its the wages we cant give him. We dont need the money but Pogba might decide he does then we are in a real bad place. I just think we keep him for 4 years minimum if he wants to stay and then hes 25 and the offer would have only go up and we could have progressed in europe under him
Well I think we could improve his deal somewhat. Maybe he would be satisfied making the same as Tevez. We could afford to give him that or a bit more. We always seem to have some stragglers on wages who are not vital to the team. Like Giovinco and Pepe this year... or players like Iaquinta in the past.
Its just a matter of trimming the fat and moving the money to keep the vital parts of the team. Giovinco for example was totally surplus going into this season. We could have easily sold him last summer and just given his spot in the team to Berardi who is on much lower wages.
Pogba has gone from a potential world beater to a leader in our team and one of our best players. We can't lose him. If we do lose him we would need to buy at least 3 top players I feel to make up for his absence
