Rumoured Paul Pogba

[mediator 2,026]

44.5m release clause is in Koke contract, so he is cheaper then Pogba.

44.5 + 40% tax if we activate the clause, so we have to deal with atletico ==> 62.3 M

I think convincing the player would be harder than convincing Atleti. That's his home and his love.

We already have a large Spanish contingent in Azpi, Cesc, Costa and Pedro. It might be easier this year...worth a shot! More conceivable than getting Pogba I think anyway.

In that case they can have 44.4 + Cuadrado! Hire me Roman!

How hard is it to tell a team you will pay them 70m + give them Cuardado for Pogba? That shouldn't take 9 days. Why?

Perhaps this is what mourinho was referring to when he said ""You can say ‘Why didn’t we do our business before the start of the pre-season?’ like we did last year but it's not because we don’t want to, it's because it’s not possible."So, in this moment, we are a bit limited"

My theory is that we contacted Juventus months ago and they made it clear Pogba is not available this summer and we didn't want to settle for a secondary choice. After the City result, in a bid to appease the fans and see if Juventus have had a change of heart, we made this bid that's being reported.

Modric over Pogba for me - I know he's knocking on a bit, but that money for Pogba is insane...

Modric won't leave Madrid (especially since he'll be mentoring Kovacic)

I dont agree with the "appease the fans" part but everything else might be correct, especially the part about not settling for a secondary option. I dont think we're trying any other midfielder if its not Pogba or Koke.

Mourinho IMO wants to complete his first XI "for good", its either a player who will complete the midfiled or nothing. Players like Witsel and even Nainggolan and Moutinho cannot be this player in the long term.

Plus, we have no idea if those player will come for a squad role.

Now that we have Pedro for RW, and probably we wont get Pogba, i hope Mourinho is going to trust either Oscar or Willian for the #10 role.

You dont need Pogba when you have Ramires, who is the better footballer.

We went too late with the bid. Should juve still have Vidal and plenty of time to bring replacement, Pogba hadnt switch to #10 and commit himself, maybe he would be ours now...

[xPetrCechx 13,570]

So in fact, some sources said we agreed a deal and some sources said our bid was rejected...

Chelsea woke up finally.

Haven't seen much of Pogba.I know he's good physically.But what about his tactical awareness,passing range?

I doubt its the first time we try to do something with Pogba this summer. Even if it is, its not only about Chelsea, Barca couldnt find a deal for January or next summer, and City as well.

The difference between Pogba and Vidal is that Vidal wanted to leave. According to Marotta and Pogba, he's ok with another season in Juve.

The key for any deal with Pogba is to make him ask to leave Juventus. Marotta always said it, they dont keep unhappy players.
