Jem but you still forget the wages it takes to lure those world class players.You talk about transfer fees but wages is just as important when balancing the budget.Say we go after 3 wc players,their wages would cost 3x more than the cost we have to bare with Pogba's new contract.So we have to think in that aspect too.
Realistically with that money,i see us doing a Napoli-esque market by overpaying for one world class player and get a few good to very good players.If that were to be the case,then id rather stay how we are,build on it by bringing some quality winger in,maybe two which probably can be financed through fringe and co-owned player sales.

All in all, the best outcome is if Pogba stays with us. It's by no means an easy task to acquire top players anyway, regardless of how much money we would get for him. Transfer fees are high these days, and so are wages, as you pointed out. I just thought that we were destined to lose Pogba very soon, so I was trying to find positive aspects about it (however uncertain they may be). I still carry the belief that Marotta & co. would be able to increase the overall quality of the squad were we to sell him for an incredible amount of money, but it's by no means a given.
Keeping Pogba is all in all the best solution. I've just been resigned to losing him, I guess. And to prevent myself from being so disappointed about it, I've remembered the Zidane-scenario and how we came out on top in the end, hoping that we could do something similar with the sale of Pogba. But if I could choose, I would keep Pogba.
