Rumoured Paul Pogba

[Ryan Fong 2,776]

Stupid that they bought him in 2009 for less than 2% of what theyre now paying.

Even more stupid that Juve might not take it. United and Juve I dunno who is more stupid.

I hope he stays in juve.

This transfer is not about the player's quality, rather who has the biggest genitalia is the biggest team.

Several media now saying done deal for £112,000,000.

Fucking bonkers

But it's alright because it's United.

Pog will be great for PR and selling shirts but I reckon N'Golo would be BETTER FOR US with a Conte attitude.

What can he provide?

Usually players going for that amount are goal scorers, game changers. There is only 5 players in the world that are worth close to that.

Just dunno what he'll do that someone like  Kante can't..someone enlighten me

Aside from shirts being sold like bread in the morning...not that much I suppose. His long range shooting has given him some stunning goals, but god knows how often those come by, and some moments of brilliance. But lately, and it was the euros that people saw it, he showed that he just isn't as good as people make him out to be.

 

He is a great player and all but tbh I would never, ever pay that much for him. Ridiculous amount of cash.

The official Adidas store in Paris was selling Dybala #10 Juventus shirts. Seems like a good indication Pogba is leaving.

Funny how United lost momentum on this one. Even if he signs for them after all, the impact won't be as strong as it was supposed to in terms of image, because a lot of people are already bored and over this topic.

The biggest football transfer ever on the eve of the start of the season. The hype train will go through the roof if that happens. Media will go wild, every paper will be covered in Pogba here, Pogba there stories, everyone wants a piece. Annoying for the rest of the league, but that's how things are. Sunday would be a good opportunity, community shield and Pogba in the stands who'll be shown time and time again, doesn't get any bigger than this, what a statement that would be.

Careful, you almost sound like a Man United fan here.

I think it's a very good transfer, would have loved Pogba here. Becoming the club who bought the most expensive player in the history of the game so far will lead to a huge media coverage, fact. Some people think he's not worth it, so i posted the video above. Nothing more to see here.

If he'd never scored a few long shots for the Vines that circulate on Twitter....things would be different. The entire future landscape of football and the cash involved would at least change more slowly, instead of the stupid fees we're about to get used to for 2-3 years until something happens like a transfer fee cap. Take away his 1.5 to maybe 3 long shot goals per season and what you've got is an Essien or Ballack but who can't defend nor go KABLOW and shoot from 35 yards and consistently have it go in. 

So then what is it he offers? It's never properly answered. Is it physical strength,/presence? In Serie A I can understand that being an asset, but over here it's expected of most players. So essentially it seems he's made out of... the ability to not be pushed off the ball, + the standard central midfielder qualities found in an abundance of players.

His former asset will no longer be an asset here. So. He's a standard central midfielder with qualities found in an abundance of players. Can we agree?
