It would be funny if people will act surprised if we sold him. :lol:
I won't be surprised for sure, I think it was/is just a matter of time when it comes to his departure. But I will be disappointed, simply because Pogba is great.

And I really, really wonder how would we re-invest the money, because just one wrong move and it might be a disaster.

I just don't think it really makes sense to sell him. If we do we really can't buy too many players which can help improve the team overall.

For example if we sold Pogba who could we buy? IF Sanchez were a possible target he would go for sure around 30m so that would leave us with 40 if we sold Pogba for 70. So with the remaining 40 we would need another cm unless we decided to move asa to his natural position and focus on getting a lb/lwb. Then we would need around 2 wingers at least if we wanted to switch to a wing base formation.

Firstly, I don't know why would Barca sell Sanchez for only 30mln. Secondly, I highly doubt any team would not want to rape us financially for players, because we got those 70mln. Meaning: we should sell Pogba for a player + cash without a doubt.

My suggestion is this. Pogba will have his contract 'till 2018. He will get 4.5/5 mill euro per season. After that he will stay for one or two seasons and after that we will probably part ways. Main reason will be his salary because he is 21 years old and with every new contract his salary will have to raise. So in one point Juventus will be unable to match his wanted wages. Of course the financial situation might change a lot but still I can't see us being able to pay the money a 26 years old Pogba would expect - 10 -12 mill euro at least a season. :)

People are freaking out for no reason. It is good business to delay contract extensions until after the WC. Pogba has nothing to gain by leaving right now. He's still developing and gets to play nearly every game.

Pogba leaving is only half the problem, the other half is that we're setting a message to everyone else (europe and our own players) that we're no longer big enough to keep hold of our best players, which will open up the floodgates for other players to leave. If we sell Pogba, who is to say we will keep hold of Vidal?

I guess it won't be so bad if he went to Real Madrid, heck even Man Utd were forced to sell their best players when they came knocking, however if we sell him to a team like PSG then that is a clear message to everyone that we're selling club.

Pogba has crazy potential for his age no doubt it, in hindsight I cannot see us doing anything worth while with the £50 million, unless we try and hackle good talent that is not being used at one of the bigger clubs such as Barcelona or Real Madrid

If he wants to leave so be it, I'm kinda pissed at him, so if he leaves I hope he ruins his career. I think he is a little bit too cocky, and he is lucky that he is at Juve where we don't encourage or appreciate that behavior, I'm pretty much sure that if he leaves he will get in trouble really soon.

Not a single player who left Juve, who forced his way out, did I not want his career to be ruined, including Zidane.

What makes you think anything would be different for him if he leaves for PSG?
This is a fair question but also a legit one, with regards to his development. It can really go either way. Juve and PsG are built very differently, from the ground up. Juve are built more like a team and play as a unit while PsG are fragmented pieces of prima donna playing together. Pogba at PeG will have a lot more competition, especially with people that are of a similar age. He will also be in an environment which won't focus as much on him comparatively, and most importantly, things will be a lot more political in the dressing room.

All of those things combined don't necessarily give you enough room to express your best football. My personal feeling is, Pogba will get a lot more attention in France, in a manner that can distract him and since he's an impressionable age, it could also make him a big of a modern day football arrogant prick of a player. For eg. I see Cavani struggling more because the forward line is not built around him like it was at Napoli. He's still a hell of a player though. Pogba will face some of these problems, either individually, or collectively, and that can have some bearing on his ability as a top rung footballer. Needless to say though, if he asks to leave, I won't wish him well at all.

Well for me he is exception, and it's not that I want him to ruin his career, I'm almost sure that he will, that's my prediction, my gut feeling, we will see. The reason why I'm disappointed is that we put him under the spotlight, no matter how you put it we contributed to his growth end exposure. He is only 21 yrs old, he have at least a decade of top flight football in front of him and he already plays for one of best and most popular club in the world. That greed (how I see it) is something that disgust me. I understood Zidane's reasons and they were valid, and even though It broke my heart, I had no hard feelings towards him.

Before anyone jumps to this post, this is just piece of my mind and how I feel, so don't take it to serious :D

A much bigger salary is nothing?

And he will walk into the starting 11 of any team, why is he only a starter at Juve?
