    Micki was the best player on the pitch by far. Dynamic and audacious at times.

    Fabinho, eh? I dunno. The last time we bought something from Monaco it didnt turn out too well for us.

    Seriously though, Fabinho looks to be the kind that likes to jump into an offensive play every now and then much like Luke Shaw.

    I also like Fabinho's size. Big boy at 6'2" would play well defending in the box.

    Right back is a definite position of need with the form that Darmian ended the season in. Valencia seems to always exceed expectations but he's just not a natural fullback. Would welcome the signing if nothing more than to push Darmian a little.

    Media outlets in Italy are reporting that United have made a monstrous offer for Pogba. I've seen $100m with bonus of either $24m or $15m.

    There may not be fire, but theres certainly smoke.

    £75 million would be a great deal. Sure tack on the bonus if he meets incentives, works for me.

    First bid for Pogba was supposedly rejected. Reportedly was £87m plus £13m in add-ons.

    Yeah I'm guessing Shadow accidentally put that in dollars instead of euros or pounds. There's no way that Pogba is going for less than £95-100m imo.

    I did. I got lazy and didnt wanna click to the next screen on my phone to put the € sign lol.

    As a side, I'm terrible with conversions. If I ever left the country for a vacation I'm the type that would be broke after 1 day. If I ever go overseas, you're coming with me for just this reason user Sam Elliott. All expenses paid.

    Although Dortmund is further along in their preseason Jones and Rojo sucked big time. Memphis played an atrocious game, can't see a role for him this season. Should be loaned out at the very least.

    That first half was so bad. Looked worse than a MLS game.

    I want to like Memphis so bad and defended him all last year, but woof. He played terrible.

    Yeah unfortunately Memphis is going to need to figure it out quickly or his stay here is going to be cut short. Had high hopes for the kid, especially his freekicks but he can't even seem to put one of those on target. A loan spell wouldn't be the worst thing for him, but with Mou in charge I could see the club just cutting its losses and moving on.

    I knew it was a mistake putting Memphis at striker when I saw the starting xi.

    Mourinho won't be nearly as coddling with him as LVG was. Shame he can't put it together.

    Pogba is not worth £86m says Manchester United legend Scholes
    Paul Scholes believes Paul Pogba is not worth the £86m Manchester United are expected to offer Juventus for him.

    The France midfielder could become the world's most expensive player if he rejoins The Reds as expected this summer. Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri has confirmed the club is in talks with United over the possible transfer of Pogba and United are favourites for his signature.

    Now Scholes has spoken about the 23-year-old's departure from Old Trafford and said he believed he was 'asking for too much money'.

    In an interview with Sport Witness he explained: "He was a very talented young player, I played with him and I knew how good he was. He played for the first team maybe once or twice, but from my understanding he was asking for too much money.

    “For his age, he was asking for far too much money, that too for a player who hasn’t played first team football.

    “Okay, he has gone on to great things. I think certainly there has been a lot of improvement. He needed to improve if he is going to be a player worth £86m.

    “I just don’t think he is worth £86m. For that sort of money, you want someone who is going to score 50 goals a season like Ronaldo or Messi. Pogba is nowhere worth that kind of money yet.”

    He's not worth £86m but that's what it's gonna take to sign him. Pretty much every big name goes for more than they are actually worth. Who cares anyway? £100m is nothing to us.

    Scholes trying his damndest to keep Pogba out of the United starting XI for a 2nd time. Good on him.

    Anytime my ESPNFC alert goes off before 8 AM it's good news.

    Today it tells me that United and Juve have hashed out all the details and Pogba will be taking a physical.

    Finally this saga can come to an end.
