Can't wait till we play Basel, I'm excited to see Xherdan Shaqiri play. I think maybe him and G??tze could be real quality signings in January / Summer. I think both are creative minded midfielders who are young and United quality.

Sparty ON

Rumour in the sun has Pogba potentially going on loan to Burnley.

Now the transfer window has shut and the reason not to buy was that "Pogba was pushing for a first team place" how will all those who justified not buying a CM feel if he goes on loan?

I think that might be a big if but it would raise some questions if he did go

You are wrong, the reason we never signed Sneijder had nothing to do with Pogba's progression, it was because he wouldn't lower his ridiculous wage demands. SAF never said that Pogba will do the job of Sneijder this season. It was a reporter that asked SAF whether or not bringing in Sneijder would slow down the progression of youth players such as Pogba and SAF went along with it. SAF never once said that Pogba will play a big part of this season. It was the 'Headlines' that said that.

Pogba was never going to be a regular in the team this season and SAF never once said he would. You are reading the headlines instead of what SAF actually said. For starters it would be Cleverley's development slowed down, not Pogba's. Time to wise up lads.

Ferguson said: "The young boy Pogba is showing great promise.

"We are quite positive about him. If we hold him back, what is going to happen? He will leave in a couple of years' time when his contract has finished.

"We have to give him the opportunity to see how he will do in the first team. He has great ability. He has the physique and athleticism."
i would be surprised if he went out on loan i think he will get a few games and if he takes his chance who knows

Firstly, you are wrong! At what point did I mention Sneijder? If you remember I actually said weeks ago I was concerned at his age and preferred a younger option.
Let me be clearer for you as I know in your position you have a lot of posts to read and respond to.
We have an obvious problem in midfield and we have not addressed it. There is a clear indication from SAF that we didnt buy anyone because it would hinder Pogba's progression. Yet Pogba has not even been on the bench or made a substitute appearance. We will see if he goes out on loan, if he does, that should again prompt questions why we didnt stengthen in summer. On that, there remains a real concern the decision not to strengthen had nothing to do with Pogba as he will come through in a year or two anyway if he is good enough when Carrick and Giggs will move on and Fletcher makes way. Also dont tell me there would be no room for him because you are an exponent of squad rotation. We also should consider something you and many others have not even thought about, Pogba may not make it. He looks good to me and most on here but there have been many who looked good yet never took that final step or faltered with the full glare at our club. I think he will make it but it is still to be seen.
Most know we should have improved our midfield and actually having seen Pogba in the youth and reserves would rather see him get 10 or 15 mins than watch Fletcher or Carrick come on again. Wait until Gibson is fit again and SAF has to play him to try and get some money for him in January.

Wish people would stop raving about Kagawa, he's toilet! I couldn't think of a worse person to try and sign.
