I'll go for Mbappe. He has the biggest profit in my port (+52p).

We have to be fair to FI. The news feed is automatic, but wrong stories has to be removed manually, so it takes a bit of time.

I got on him very late for MB transfer buzz. He hit +22p the other day, now he's dropped to +19p. I think he's peaked so I'll take the profits today, but not exit the player. Plenty of MB left in him.

@Nally said in Reasons not to sell Pogba:

I appreciate there's a lot of Pogba threads but they're all negative! This latest development isn't necessarily terrible news if you hear me out.

Okay so he wants to leave but he's still under contract until 2022 and he'll cost a hell of a lot of money, he's gone to around 60/40 with the odds to leave with Madrid odds on favourites, how can they afford him? Pogba would bring their spending to around 500 million with him and hazard joining on mega wages. I've seen a lot of players in my years observing bookies transfer odds come back from odds on to leave to eventually stay, 60/40 is by no means a sure thing especially with all the aces United hold.

Pogba is now the odds on favourite to top media madness every single day and at least place every day. The Spanish transfer window doesn't close for a lonnng time on September 2nd (English clubs can still sell to this date) and I can't see this being resolved quickly. Since the Pogba interview broke all the news from reliable-ish sites/sources (via @utdextra twitter) is that United/Ole are adamant in wanting him to stay, hard ball negotiations drag out. Maybe United will want to buy players before selling him, this too could take time.

Now if/when he finally leaves admittedly it won't be good for his price but it won't be Pogba finished as some people suggest. Hazard's move has gone through and he's £4.50, Pogba has over double his all time combined dividend returns and is 26 months younger, I think he'll settle at about £5.50-£6 and still be a media magnet. If he stays I think he'll be at least £8.50 and have earned over £1.25 in dividends throughout the summer (until september). You'd be a fool to instant sell at that price now, I'm holding my few thousand until the bitter/happy end.

I'm keeping him for the reasons you stated. My 402 shares are currently -£1.18 in the red (-£474.36). As you have a few thousand shares, how much are you in the red please?

Before I buy an unknown player, I watch a YouTube skills video. It helps me to make my mind up. But some videos are inconclusive, and nothing remarkable is shown. That's when I know I'm watching an average player.

I think the story might have legs. The big stars won't go to Man U as they're not in the CL and don't currently have the same pull as they once had. Longstaff is the type of young, hungry player OGS wants to start afresh and rebuild.

I bought for MB transfer buzz, but nothing concrete has come up, yet. He's currently minus 2p in the red for me. You got in very early! I'll continue to hold as there's plenty of time before the new season. It seems he might be one of those transfer deadline deals.

I bought yesterday for MB transfer, and now that the transfer is already completed he is -2p in the red for me. But as he is currently only 89p, he is low risk so I'll keep him for the new season and see how he goes. If he is a success he could fly and holders have got in early.

I left a 5-star review September last year, a month after joining.

Erik ten Hag, the Ajax manager is supposed to be one of the candidates Chelsea are looking at, although he is said to be cautious about the job because of the Chelsea transfer ban. They would play great football under him. https://www.goal.com/en-sa/news/chelsea-to-meet-lampard-with-ajax-coach-ten-hag-cautious/dxv05trj8zip1e56mgq6g9hit
