I think Bastian only joined us because of LVG. I cant see him remaining without him especially if he ends up Pogba's reserve. Blind may be sold to make space for a real CB. Matuidi, Schneiderlin, Pogba, Carrick, Herrera and Fellaini should be enough for the rear CMs
Agree with this.
 


But the journalists are probably just referring to the reports coming out of France a couple of days ago.

I would like to think that the journos who fly around the world with the team would be more up to date than that.
 
I doubt anything will happen till:

A: We get back in the UK.
B: Juve confirm Higuain.

However if there's no definite movement by the end of next week I can see this transfer not happening.
 
are we there yet? are we there yet?.... when will we get there

See that's just posting for posting's sake. I realise there's some desire here to break the Vidal record but let's try to make it as organic as we can.

I can assure you that if they had more up to date news that it was "done and dusted" they'd be falling over themselves to report it.

Remember, Paddy probably doesn't follow Twitter or the Caf so this would have been news to him.
 
When do we get back from tour and what other pre season friendlies do we play after Galatasary?
 
Okay, here's a question.

We are preparing a World Record Transfer Fee (WRTF) for Pogba.
For me, a WRTF signing should mean that the club become instant favourites to win the title. I feel that this is not the case with Pogba.
So, my question: if you were Jose and Woodward stated that we have unlimited funds and that we must break the WRTF this Summer. Which (attainable) player would you ask to be signed?
Remember, this has to be a realistic signing, so Neymar (who has just signed a new contract) cannot be included).
Real weren't favourites even after signing Bale or Ronaldo. infact they have only won one league title since signing Ronaldo .
 
When do we get back from tour and what other pre season friendlies do we play after Galatasary?

After Galatasaray we have Rooney's testimonial against Everton, and the Community Shield against Leicester
 
The press conference was outside though, pitch side.

It was not planned to be outside, circumstances forced it.

Anyway, Crerand is not saying that it is done, he is just wondering if it is really done why the transfer has not been announced yet
 
Pogba alone won't solve our problems. He is used to having top players around him. Even if you take Pogba out of Juventus. They still have a better centre midfield than us.

Carrick/Schweinsteiger - Old/no legs injury prone. Herrera/Schneiderlin are promising but are no where near top level yet.

I think for Pogba to do well. We would need Kroos/Matuidi also. You could argue that buying Kroos & Matuidi is better option.

Pogba is not a Luka Modric the type of player that will dictate play he is someone who needs to be as forward as possible to be effective.

If you look at the players Pogba had around (Pirlo, Vidal & Marchisio) him in the 4 years he has been a Juventus and look at what they have no now compared to our current Central midfield the gulf is huge.

Pjanić was my number no.1 target this summer. Disappointed we didn't move for him.

Not saying I would not sign Pogba I still would but I think he needs a proper partner to truly thrive. We have too many squad/peripheral players, that extend beyond just the midfield.

I don't see the likes of Young, Lingard, Jones, Rojo, Valencia & Memphis setting the world alight for us. We know what most of them are capable of few of them should have been shipped years ago.

Schneiderlin, Herrera and Pogba make for a good midfield imo with Pogba being the more advanced of the 3. (Don't think we'll see that for a while as Rooney/Mata won't feature and we all know Rooney will be playing for a while at least)
 
Jose also has the option to play with a midfield 3 of TFM, Schneiderlin and Pogba which I think would be very balanced should Jose have enough trust in TFM.
 
@Acquire Me is still convinced this is done, and that is good enough for me... until the next time Madrid get mentioned and I lose my shit again.
 
With Ed arriving in China then I would think that the deal has been finalised. It's all about waiting on juve now to announce Higuain. There's not a chance they would be happy to keep Pogba now after all the negotiations and €100m+ on the table. The offer alone they will not get again from any team.
He's ours and it's just a matter of time before we make the announcement.
 
People are fecking idiots. There is nothing in the Crerand interview, I've seen it. Stop clinging onto it.
 
Paddy Crerand is an idiot who should keep his mouth shut, remember his stand up row that LVG was categorically definitely not getting sacked? He went less than 24 hours later
 
Anyone seen pictures of Ed Woodward in China?

The look on Ed Woodward face looks like a man that just bought a brand new car.

The Pogba deal is done now.

Wasnt he aready gone by then? I remember Paddy was giving some radio host shit because of (truthful) reports that's Van Gaal had been asked to leave? Paddy really needs to pick his battles more wisely.

What have Schneiderlin or Herrera done to suggest they are good enough?
 
Both clubs will discuss about it, but a buyout clause leads to free agency while a release clause is just a transfer fee set by contract.
Why would Napoli, who've been very vocal about not selling to Juve, agree to make the payment easier for them?
 
hes not even an elite midfielder, cant believe people have written 589 pages, for this, in amost every big transfer page for a big name player, I`ve only commented 2-3 times, and that just to tell people that the deal is not happening, and these twitter ITK are full of shit, and make a living out of lying

You're clearly in the know about nothing.
 
Guardian reported juve have rejected 92mil. So that's 84m and 92m rejected. i feel once we hit that 100m pound mark, hes ours.
Yeah, let's just chuck money at problems..... like Madrid do and we laugh at them.

Heavens forbid we see if Jose is as good as he thinks he is and can make decent players into a team?

What was he expected to say? confirm rumours and say 'yep, he's off lads, lets rejoice!'. It's called sticking up for your manager, something some of our own fans could learn from. the journo was out of order for pressing the issue less than 24 hrs after we'd won the cup.
