clutching at straws

Deal not dead but clearly stones has to put some pressure on the board.... Enquiring about garay is just about covering our asses if theis move doesnt happen and at the same time telling stones that we do have other choices

Yes because we are clearly choosing not to sign stones....

I understand we can but before this news came out we seemed to be very very conservative with our money because of the ffp regulations and we weren't willing to blow a big chunk of our budget on one player. The poor start seems to have ruffled a few feathers, thankfully.

I think its a mixture of things. He probably is fed up with trying to follow FFP when know one else is and after the terrible start he and RA have said "fuck it". Also Pogba would be the perfect CM for us and he could be potentially be the best CM for the next decade. Another reason could be that he think next summer he will cost more due to more clubs being able to buy him. Jose clearly rates him and said as much after the world cup last year.

And i had a dream i was sleeping with Jennifer lawerence .....both unlikely to ever happen....

Hasn't he just said what was already know? which is we have made a bid for him?

Was it ever explained why he wasn't in the squad yesterday?

But they can refuse, whatever we can realistically offer now they will still be able to get if not more next summer. His price is only going to go up especially when barca lose there ban.

Why would juve sell? they dont need the money. Pogba's price isnt going to go down, why wouldnt they keep him till next summer and let every top club in the world have a bidding war. Even if they got £80m now they are only going to replace him with someone worse. Also they got a nice big cheque for getting into the champs league final and the money will be more useful next summer to balance the books. Anyway i really really hope i'm wrong and we do somehow get him but i can't see how we could.

the fire is that we clearly desperately want him but unfortunately there is a huge bucket of water next to it which the owners of juve are holding

It happened quickly but di mazio did report a few days in advanced. Also a deal with pogba involved is a whole different ball game.

Huh? denying what? a couple of twitter rumours??

Haha .... looking forward to this thread later when Di mazio shits all over these rumours again

Come on guys, its not going to happen. One of the only reliable sources out there has clearly and repeatedly said they will not sell in this window. Stop getting your hopes up it will just be harder to accept when it doesn't go through.

And who would start ahead of him?

I think Jose has got the line up spot on!! Cant wait to see pedro

Its likely to be the pic from a few weeks ago. He often comes to london to visit his brother

Di mazio shits on sky sports

No, clearly we have made a late bid but it wont happen.

I feel the same especially after seeing championship sides spend £10m on championship players

people seem to have forgotten that he personally rejected us and barca

why do people think Cuadrado is a good bargaining chip? we are desperate to get rid of him and he is there 3rd 4th choice. Its a completely separate deal. Juve have already sold a number of key members of there team. They aren't going to sell another this late in the window. They have clearly said he is not for sale to both us and barca. No chance its happening

"according to reports" they are just re reporting what the sun said. nothing new

Can i have whatever you're smoking please?!
