PEA is joining PSG not Monaco. It's not a bad deal if they win the CL. They won't care about his re sale value then.
Yes, PSG, it was typo. Monaco won't spend much this season, after Rybolovlev was caught in Panama Papers.

I was shocked when you said Monaco lol. I know they aren't exactly big spenders but scout very wisely. A shame that there squad will be broken up.![]()
So everyone though Jose over paid for him one year ago, now Neymar goes for £200m, Coutinho at around £90-100M, Dembele £120M, if he was to be sold this year, he would have probably cost about £150M, how much changes in just one year.
It's OK, the market is crazy now.
Is he worth? Not only Pogba, no player, not even Messi, CR is worth that money. But, it's an inflated market these days. 38 years back Trevor Francis was bought for 1mn, then the top clubs annual gross revenue was less than 10mn, most PL (1st Division) Clubs would struggle to spend that amount for entire seasonal transfer - now days there are many Clubs that has a gross annual earnings of more than 250mn - it's just inflation. Maradona would have been sold for a quarter billion at least, if there was a buyer.
Did MU made a mistake in that purchase? No, absolutely not. In football (or any sports), there is an exponential price for exceptional talents. At the end of the day, it's a matter of if the player improves the starting XI significantly or not. It doesn't work that instead of 1 Pogba, you buy 10 Henderson & financially that's a better business. Suarez kept Brenda in his job for 2 years - I am sure now Liverpool would like to spend double of his selling price, if he was 26 now & willing to come. The best ever transfer business to me was Juventus in 2000 - they spent 35mn for a 23 years old GK, which that time was criticised by everyone (Naughty people said that Agneli family were washing their black money) - in return, Juve got one of the all time best ever for almost 2 decades between their posts.
It's a tremendous buy, at 23, Pogba is destined to win the Ballon De Oorr. SAF made the biggest mistake of his life by allowing this kid to leave. It was a mistake because he was the player of U20 WC, after the year he left. A 6'3" power dynamo with the ball skill of a Latin player & ambidextrous shooting skill like a forward is unique. He is like Patrick Vierra, Yaya Yaya & Cantona in one package. It's sad for me as Liverpool fan, that we could have got this kid for 29mn in 2014, as a replacement of SteveG, but Brenda didn't have the balls, neither the name to attract such a mercurial talent.
Joking apart, that was a massive, massive mistake by SAF - 100mn is obnoxious money - I take half out. Sir Alex, sold a 18 years old kid without giving proper chance for 800K & his club bought him back for 50mn, 5 years later - that a massive, massive mistake. Had that not been Sir Alex, by now every media would have shredded him to pieces.
Football world is dominated by sponsors & business houses - otherwise for 2014-15 season, what he did for Juve in Seria A & CL, was good enough for a realistic shot for Ballon De Oorr. He has already won the Golden Ball in U20 WC.
Also, he is just 23 - already is one of the best player in his position. He is not a forward - box to box mid-fielder. Players like him matures with a bit of age as speed is not their best asset. For a forward, 23 to 29 is probably best age, for Pogba that's between 25 to 32. At his age, Zizu had just debuted for France (was playing for Bourdoux) - Pirolo, Yaya, Scholes, Keene, Lothar Mathius or even Platini hardly made names at 23 - this kid is dominating his position. Deschamps played him at more defensive position & paid with the Euro, JoMou would play him as the advanced CM of a double pivot 4231 or at centre of diamond 442 with Rooney & Ibra in front & Mata (or his replacement Makhterian) & Martial at wide wings - just see how he runs riot in English football, which is much more open than Seria A.
Can anyone see the glimpses now? Mou absolutely robbed Juve.

By the way, heard that he is practicing Muslim - great to know, though not sure how it's like living a practicing Muslim, when you earn $ half a million/week at 23!!!!!
