No way we should sell him.
We hear all the time about our team being good but lacking that Messi/Ronaldo to take us to the top level. Pogba could very well be that player, why sell him to have to buy another one? He may not develop into a ballon d'or winner but there is a good chance he will.
Plus if you look at all the revenue comparisons recently, we lack in commercial income. This is the sort of player to help with this, he is a huge asset commercially. Everyday I pass a billboard for European football, and it is Pogba on the front of that billboard. If he can continue his progression he can help put us on the map internationally.
I don't think we will keep him forever, but there is no rush to cash in yet. Especially as he doesn't seem in any huge rush to move and we can get more out of him.

The good Dr. Cron.
Figures it's him. I like that we can basically sell out our stadium regardless of the match. It's better than playing 75% of our Serie A matches in a half empty stadium.
Does anyone know if our stadium seating can be expanded if we decide we want a bigger capacity 5 years from now?

How has his value peaked? With Euro 2016 coming, there is absolutely no way we should sell him this summer, or before that tournament starts. After the tournament is the very earliest we should even consider selling him. If he puts in a good performance there his value will skyrocket even further and there will be a bidding war. He'll also probably be looking for massive exposure and massive salary at that point so selling him could start to look a little more appealing.
Selling him this summer coming off an injury, with Euros a year away, would be the most retarded thing our management could do. We need minor reinforcements this summer for our last year with Tevez and make a serious push for CL again.
We don't need to replace Pirlo. Marchisio is a beast in that role. Our midfield is set. We need a CAM to either take Pereyra's place there, or to compete with Pereyra there. We have Asamoah at LB, and if he slides back into the middle, our midfield is even more beastly in terms of depth.
This summer, the only positions that absolutely needs reinforcing are possibly RB (promising young player for rotation with Licht), CAM (so we have other options there than just Pereyra), and Forward (assuming we sell Llorente). We can easily do this without selling Pogba.

When guys like ronaldo, Zidane etc went for those massive fee's it was because they dominated on the pitch in a way Pogba has not done and probably won't do.
I love Pogba and he's an amazing footballer but he's not a 100m euro footballer.
