Oscar 441 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Well if he goes to Barca we should try and buy Rakitic, simple as that. Just a pointless buy from Barca really. Rakitic-Busquets-Iniesta is a world class midfield and has the right balance more than anything. Iniesta will leave or be a bench player like Xavi in a year or 2.

OneMoSalah 8,887 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Iniesta will leave or be a bench player like Xavi in a year or 2. Iniesta is still one of the best midfield players in the world, behave would you? Dropping Iniesta for Pogba is like getting rid of a Ferrari for a Fiat. Pogba is a good player but the difference between him and Iniesta is night and day. Dropping Rakitic for Pogba too would be insane considering how adept Rakitic is defensively as well as offensively, he gives that team so much balance.

Iniesta was terrible. (Maybe old age or Enrique's tactics).Yea, he had some good games, but overall, his play dropped quite a bit. Difference is that Pogba is a better player than Iniesta is right now and significantly younger. Pogba-rakiticSergio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonsFinest 692 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Rather get Bale??? Bale is a winger and Pogba is a CM, no comparison thereNever compared the two in position, what are you on about? My idea is that that money can be spunk on Bale and would be a better addition as we need a RM more than a CM? Do you even try to think outside a box or just quote anything you don't like?

Pogba-rakiticSergio Sure Iniesta was terrible last season... maybe it was old age or Enriques tactics (doubt it his tactics won the treble)...Iniesta was not terrible last season, he plays a bit deeper and hes still able to go forward, hes still world class, Barca's best MF player and easily better than Pogba.

OneMoSalah 8,887 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Tbh, Pogba would replace Iniesta long term.Iniesta can still play in that team for a few more years yet though. I don't think hes past it and hes starting to play a bit more like Xavi, doesn't make as many dribbles as he once did and touches the ball a lot more.If Pogba goes there he might replace Rakitic more than anybody but his defensive side would need to improve so much because you see what Rakitic has given Barca this year in terms of tackles and interceptions as well as interchanging with Busquets, holding his position at times as he used to also play as a 6 at Basel and in Germany. Still think the only team where he should go is probably PSG or here if we do go to a 3 man midfield but I don't think going to Real, Barca, City or United makes any sense now.

I just can't see Pogba replacing Rakitic because they're entirely different as players. They want to phase Iniesta out, and Pogba is a very nice replacement for him if he fulfills his huge potential.

So it would only make sense for Pogba to take his place. For Pogba to take Iniesta's role, where he has more of an influence regarding control of the game and tempo would make no sense.

Hybrid Angel 2,130 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I think Barca should sign Verratti as Iniesta's long-term replacement not Pogba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMS 382 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Hi friend!Pogba will be filthy rich anyway. Signing for City, United, PSG, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern ... staying at Juventus. Whatever he does, Pogba is going to have so much money that he could not spend even in three lives.But Pogba have to choose, or stay with his agent and a multimillion dollar contract to have a few million more (as has happened to Ibra), or signing for a serious club with a team and project consolidated and fight every year to win Champions League.People like Raiola should not exist in the world of football. Football is not just business.Regards.Thank you. He will be rich and very quickly forgotten if he doesn't win trophies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Could well be pogba. But i guess he wont come here as we surely would have sent him a private jet for a 80m move. Also there are no direct flights from Turin to Manchester... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
