About Chelsea and #Pogba. José Mourinho is a fan but he is not the priority. He wants 2/3 players for this price + young Blues. #CFC

[Muzchap 8,966]

Good let other clubs pay over the odds for ordinary players.

I'm not saying he's a bad player - but I just don't see him here

[supporter 3,088]

Presently Pogba is beyond our reach. We can not fight for a player valued at 100 million euros against Real Madrid, Barcelona, PSG, City ...

With 100 million we can sign Koke, Griezmann and Imbula / Kondogbia. (100 million euros = 75 million pounds).

And we can not mortgage our project only by a player of 100 million euros which will involve the signing of the summer (over all summer even August as Real Madrid usually do).

This kind of signings that make so much noise are perfect for Real Madrid, but not for us. Our philosophy is different.

I would try the signing Pogba trying to convince him due to our project before June. But this would have to happen before June 1.

Although it is also true than a signing as Pogba can give us a giant leap in quality .... But while Real Madrid, Barcelona, City or PSG are distracted with him, we can sign other big players in the market. I think it is not our war ...

Regards.

Actually at the moment we're more than capable to match them if we want to. But, yes, that is very unlikely we will do it. Better splash on someone like Sterling or Griezmann or tempting Dortmund to sell Reus. Bale will cost as ridiculous, if not more, as Pogba.

[Mechromancer 262]

Well, Cech + Drogba = 200k per week. And looks like they are out, ¿right?

[cchuka 99]

Definitely not happening,

hopefully RLC proves just as capable

About @F8Piraux - He's a Chelsea fan from France, but needs to be said that im not sure how much of a transfer journalist is he, cant remember him reporting something valuble. I wouldnt read too much into it.

He also said (after the last tweet) - "Chelsea can make the same work with Eden Hazard and win the race in the final sprint. #Pogba has lot of respect for Mourinho."

But the idea of Mou prefers to get more players for 80-100 euros seems reasonable.

supporter, getting Koke, Griezmann and Imbula/Kondogbia for 100 euros? im not sure you can sign even Koke and Griezmann for that amount. we already know Koke has a 60m bay-out. The reports about Griezmann few weeks ago said its 30m euors, and now other reports say its 60. Maybe with Luis we can pay less than 100m euros for both. But as i said earlier i cant see us getting both, one of them will be asked to stay and probably will. I guess Koke.

[Mechromancer 262]

Yeah, pretty much that too. I don't see it. The Griezmann + Koke trade, i mean.

More news. This time from French radio station RMC:

RMC Sport revealed on March 18 exclusively, Nasser Al-Khelaifi met Pogba & Raiola in Monaco with Olivier Letang, assistant team manager #PSG

Both parties [Mino Raiola/PSG] have already discussed the technical conditions for arrival of Pogba (RMC) #PSG #Juve

The figures published in Italy in recent days regarding the contractual offer of #PSG to Pogba (EUR 15 million) are wrong. (RMC) #Juve

#PSG ​​orally offered a contract to the tune of €11m/year, which would place Pogba alongside David Luiz & Thiago Silva at wage level. (RMC)

During this meeting, Pogba has made clear that he had a keen interest in #PSG. For now, Paris has not yet sent an offer to Turin. (RMC)

Although #PSG sent a request for information to #Juve to know what price they'd be willing to start discussions for Pogba. Now waiting (RMC)

Strong advantage for #PSG in their bid for Pogba is the player's agent Mino Raiola favours Paris in comparison to others (RMC) #Juve

For #FCB, President Bartomeu has made Pogba his priority for re-election. Sporting Director Braida met Mino Raiola in Monaco. (RMC) #Juve

#FCB have already made concrete their interest in Pogba to #Juve; and Braida met Raiola in Monaco to discuss contract terms (RMC)

#FCB Director Braida also spoke with Marotta, sports director of #Juve & offered €70m plus bonus option of loan for Pogba till 2016. (RMC)

The loan till 2016 option plus €70m fee by #FCB is favourable to #Juve and is being strongly considered by Pogba's clan in Turin. (RMC)

For #RMCF, on Tuesday, Raiola met with Florentino Perez at Real Madrid's hotel in Turin, during the semi-final of the CL for Pogba. (RMC)

Zinedine Zidane has made multiple phone calls to Raiola and has already contacted several times Pogba in recent months. (RMC) #Juve #RMCF

Only problem, not the least, Pogba's agent Mino Raiola does not favor at all the trail of Real Madrid. (RMC) #Juve #RMCF

For sporting reasons, the midfield at Real is well supplied, but Raiola also has personal reasons for avoiding Pogba to #RMCF (RMC) #Juve

Relationships are cold between Real Madrid and Mino Raiola, where influencing advisor Jorge Mendes reigns supreme. (RMC) #Juve #RMCF

Txiki Begiristain, sports director of #MCFC made ​​an offer to #Juve for Pogba to the tune of €80m+a player AND €14m/year salary. (RMC)

RMC Sport has placed PSG, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester City (in order) as favourites to sign Paul Pogba this summer. (RMC)

My first question from all this, is how CIty has the money (FFP wise) to pay so much in wages and fee? do they just dont care or Chelsea care too much?

[ChelseaFC12 134]

I dun't see Atleti selling two of their most prized assets in a single transfer window... imo.

[Laugh1ngMan 393]

people saying it would be better to buy several players instead of investing into one world class player sound like Tottenham/Liverpool fans after the sale of Bale/Suarez.

If you want to have a world class team, you will eventually have to break the bank and buy world class players

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Well, thats your opinion. I think we do need a dominant and technical CM, and Pogba fits that role, and can contribute in more areas.

Of course we could use a dominant CM, any team in the world could be improved by Pogba. But I think I can objectively say that we need a right winger and a CB much more than we need a central midfielder. CM is probably the only place we have top class starting players in Cesc and Matic and very good backup options in Mikel and Ramires, and even some very exciting youngsters in Ake and RLC.

[Pizy 18,888]

Really is sounding less and less likely we'll sign him. Or that our interest was ever even concrete.

My guess is PSG.

We'll agree to disagree, i think a partner for Cesc and Matic, someone who could help in some of Cesc duties and give us an option to create possesion, is more important than an RW. Dont think the team is able to be dominant enough in the more difficulte games, and i dont think Mikel and Ramires are good partners in the big games.

Laugh1ngMan,

No one said we need to buy servel "good" players instead of spending so much on Pogba, people think you could sign two world class players for that amount and they could be right.

[BlueSunshine 672]

If Pogba goes to PSG, we should try to buy from them that cunt Verratti. He is the perfect midfielder for us.
