Rumoured Paul Pogba

[Laugh1ngMan 393]

so not only does juventus let one of their stars go, but at the same time they make sure one of their rivals get stronger again. Makes sense.

Btw, how would City afford Pogba with FFP after already spending quit some money on Bony

[mikeholiday 209]

Is he playing against Madrid?

[didierforever 7,349]

If Pellegrini got sacked, I could see City sign Pogba. I'm not sure how they deal with FFP though.

Also heard that Pogba handed in transfer request from some crap newspaper. Don't know if that is true or not.

like they have been dealing with FFP so far. buy players like bony for 30mil, give a fine of 50mil to uefa, lather, rince, repeat.

Surely the punishment will be more heavy this time? Transfer ban perhaps? It would be lame if it is the same.

uefa loves lame. specially when they get a fine of 50mil, by which they can fill their own coffers, why should they care about transfer bans.

If he would have dived when he was being pulled back he would have got a penalty.

No doubt in my mind Jose would turn him into the best midfielder on the planet.

I genuinely chuckled at this

Fiorentina, Milan, Sampdoria...etc. might be upset about it, but I really doubt Juve board has any thoughts at all about what Inter or any of the other teams fighting for EL qualification are currently doing....Not that I'm saying that those Sky Italia rumors are true..

so overrated 70 mil for this, no thanks city can have him i rather RLC!!!

lol he assisted the goal that got them through the final. not worth 70m but def not overrated.

oh please hardly a assist he just headed the ball back in the box area, which was logical because he was much taller than the RM player who was againtst him (i gorgot who it was). Didn't even know that ball will be at Morata's feet and mercy! Juventus goal was pure luck but overall they deserve to be in the Final!

[OneMoSalah 8,886]

Based on that game, never really did anything of great note other than a knock down for Morata. He tried a few flicks and that first half that didn't come off, see what I mean, when they come off they look good but when they don't they just needlessly give possession away. Not worth 40m never mind 70 or more.

[nadavTKL 1,787]

I just cant stay consistent in my opinion about him. Every time im not seeing him for a while, im following the hype, enthusiastic about his potential and think about what he'll bring to Chelsea, but every time i see him my opinion changes.

So thats my verdict - Big talent, not a world class player right now by any means. Need to grow and i dont think Juventus and Seria A is the place for him to grow.

so after judging koke off one match against RM, people are now judging pogba on one match against RM.. guess we never learn...

anyways, this is a useless thread now. will end up at RM itself after all they went trophyless this season and would want to make their normal "marquee" signing. pogba fits the bill perfectly. he will end up at RM.

Its really not the case for me at least, I never seen a great game by Pogba. And its not about having a "Great game", i never seen him play and thought "thats a wc midfielder right there". Koke isnt one either imo.

I think both have some serious improving to do in their overall game. Non of them is a 'must signing' for me, but i would be happy with both.

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

He is a great player but not WORTH 80M, max imo is like 40m for age and potential. Anyone signing him will be like signing a Bale/Cavani...etc players who will play decent enough to not be labeled a flop but never truly felt justifying their fee. 80m midfield is basically a Lampard/Gerrard/Pirlo combined type, players who can run constantly and get at least double figure in both goals and assists every season.
