Powell will be bought in as our next box to box hope. Not sure if we get any compensation for Pogba.

this is fucking bullshit. makes absolutely no sense to me - letting go of a talented young player who plays in the exact position the first team is severely lacking in. we'll play park there next season instead. fuck this shit.

Lured away again like we did from Le Havre, we can hardly complain.

The future is local lads like Tunnicliffe, Keane bros etc who will hang around alot longer when they aren't immediately in the first team.

Discount Morrison as he has real psychological issues that need addressing.

Juventus general director Giuseppe Marotta has confirmed the Serie A giants are on the brink of signing teenage midfielder Paul Pogba from Manchester United.

"We have lured him away from Manchester United," he told Corriere dello Sport.

"We respected the rules. Pogba, for his own reasons, didn't intend to renew.

"We informed the club and we are now waiting for an answer. Talks are well advanced."

Merde?

what's the french for 'in the future only god knows'

So he's happy, and not off to Milan

Pogba's chief ambition

Paul Pogba is driven by one goal - to become a first-team regular at United.

The promising midfielder has had a taste of senior action in the Carling Cup and admits he is hungry for more chances to impress Sir Alex. After returning to top form in the Reserves' 4-0 win against Liverpool, the youngster has his eyes firmly fixed on stepping up a level again in 2012.

"It's very good [here]," he told MUTV. "I'm getting in the first team and I enjoy it a lot. I have to carry on and try to play more games.

"[My debut at] Leeds was a great feeling. I played away, in a derby as well, and came on for Ryan Giggs. I thought: 'Okay, now is a good chance to prove myself and to show them what I can do'. We won that game and it was a very good feeling.

"I told myself I've just tasted it, now I want to eat it - I want all the cake now! I want to play, work hard and do my best to get in the first-team squad."

Pogba aspires to making a real mark at Old Trafford, following in the footsteps of many of his fellow countrymen - such as Eric Cantona, Fabien Barthez and Patrice Evra.

"I think you grow up a lot at United," he admitted. "I came from France. I'm here and I know what I want to do. I just want to be a first-team player, a great player here and that's it. I want to play with the first team."

I really hope he does - wld inject some excitement in our gareth gates midfield

Fergie hints Pogba might start against Palace

tbf if he can't even get a start in the carling cup ahead of park in cm what's the point

Fergus is turning into a joke - 25 years is getting to him. He is so stubborn it is untrue - we are hanging on by a thread to Shitty. The midfield simply cannot get shitter - when bench material is good, all it will ever be is good but when they are shit, they are turd. Give this cunt a game - has to be better than the current off form bench squad. I think fletcher, park, cazza are good when on form, occasionally excellent but will always be limited - but when they are off form, boy are they wank.

Wenger is great at creating top midfielders... the only problem is they don't win anything

tbf he would do well at Arsenal. Wenger is excellent at bringing through young players. SAF used to be.

Double Post.

Well if the Mail and Talksport say it then it must be true.

It's not getting the games Fergie suggested he would be, so if he leaves it's the club's fault...

mail on sunday

Talkshite claimed Hamburg were after him. I'm sure a few clubs will be chasing his signature. He will leave if we don't pull our fingers out and get him to sign a new contract.

Where did you read that?

wanted by city and arsenal apparently

free to talk to em come jan
