I am absolutely delighted with the transfers (impending) so far. Bailly looks promising whilst Zlatan is a legend and Mkhitaryan is one of the best attackers in world football.
I would also be incredibly pleased with Pogba if we were to sign him.
However, I think a valuable business lesson needs to be learned if we are to sign him for £100 million.
We need to learn from RM in the way that they insert buy back clauses into a large proportion of their leaving young players contracts - Morata for example. Barcelona have also done this and it's an excellent way to develop your talent and buy it back at good value.
I would of liked to have seen this structure with Morrison, Pogba and others.

Would that be the same pogba who waltzed off on a free for nominal compensation. Bit hard to put buy back clauses in.

I don't think the circumstances under which pogba left were favorable for any sort of buy back clause.

Fresh,
How exactly could we put a buy back clause into the contract of a player who left on a free at the end of his contract?

Lol gds.

Could do it with Pogba as he wasn't sold. And we won't be signing Pogba. Don't worry about that, not going to happen.

The only lesson that needed to be learnt from the pogba affair was that you're either in the pockets of the agents or you are not.
