Bad news for us if it happens because surely they won't get both Arda and Pogba? Then I can see City/Chelsea nabbing Pogba.
Barca are still in for him AFAIK. If there is a deal, he will join them next summer, which Juve probably are completely fine with.
Can/Will Barca sign anyone before their elections ?
I couldn't give two shits about some magazine that I will never read. I am talking from my experience as a united fan following the transfer stuff every season. It's not like they have become better at it? It's the same bollocks every season and there is no effort to make it easy for the people who actually read it aka the fans. Transfers have become more secretive? Well, that's your job as a journalist. At least get closer to the source as much as possible but majority of them make the most shittiest predictions(based on their "sources"). It has actually come to a point where, red cafe has evolved more quickly than these so called journalist. We know which tweets to neglect and which ones to take seriously. Same mediocre journalism every season, rinse and repeat. Can't believe they get paid for this crap.

Yeah, Arda being the Iniesta replacement & Pogba the Rakitic? (As harsh as that would be to Ivan). But yeah, it's football, anything can happen. Arda could end up on the bench, or as cover for the wings (if Pedro leaves).
Just think it's a bit overkill. Read interesting comments from Bartomeu saying the coach has identified a midfielder which they're after but he can't name yet (comments along those lines). Obviously comments hot on the heels of Laporta saying if he's elected as president, he'll bring Pigba with him. So Arda could well be the player Bartomeu was referring to.
Maybe @Mitchell Nicholas @Brown Toothpick could shed some light.
Probably. Aulas confirmed they are still waiting for an answer from Marseille for their 10 million euros bid, so I guess Marseille don't want to accept it until a they sign a replacement.
Turan is very versatile, and their coach seems to love those kind of players. If he is indeed the midfielder Luis Enrique wanted, it'll be interesting to see how he fits in their team.
I agree though. He is not really needed.
The very reliable Cat Radio reporting Barça are in advanced negotiations regarding Arda Turan. Club trying to close deal in next few days.
This (interim) board have really crossed the line. How are they chasing and offloading players when the elections are in just 20 days?
Seems like a done deal. It's very weird they are allowed to do this though.
Grim smile
So he plans of sitting on a bench at Barca until Christmas....No shame in that decision really seem as Suarez did same thing last season and turned out amazing in the end.......I always thought Turan played on the right wing..not sure where he fits in at Barca
Fixed that for you
Pretty much. The transfer window has in a sick sort of way become more fun for some fans than the actual season itself.
This has been a very disappointing day when it comes to transfer muppetry. I'm logging off.
Tomorrow, I hope for better. We go again!

What a prized gimp Ogden is looking like now. He is a Daily Star level journalist. He has gone to the dogs since his buddy Moyes left. He jumped on the bandwagon that Schneiderlin was about to do a medical when he obviously hadn't the first clue what was going on and it's come out by Koeman that Woody hasn't even agreed a fee yet. It still will more than likely go through but Ogden is just looking more and more like a Metro level guesser with every article
Can't think of a single journo who has a clue what is going on , what I have also noticed is that not only do the journos covering Arsenal know more but they also don't write frequent pieces trying to prove that they are ITK . On the other hand the ones covering us are clueless but write something pretty much everyday because United obviously sell papers.
It just make no sense. Why wouldn't Madrid pay Ramos the extra 5 or 6 a year he wants? Is it worth blooding in a new CM?
Probably already thinking about life after Ienesta.
Imagine if they also get Pogba
------------------Stegen-----------------
Alves-----Pique------Macherano------Alba
----------------Busquests-----------------
----------Pogba--------Turan-------------
--Neymar-------Messi--------Suarez---
That midfield + attack + keeper can last them for years and years
if they invest in that backline and under a decent coach that team is simply unstopable
How can anyone ever compete with that ?
On his way to United yesterday, to Chelsea earlier today, and now on his way to Barca.
Which is it?
Which is it?
Pogba going to Barca would be so strange. Can't think of many midfielders that would be as unsuitable for them as Pogba is.
Better Barca than City.
Let them pay 80M for him. Most overpriced player in living memory. David Luiz aside.
He's good but I hardly get all the ridiculous hype about him. Scores some cracking long rangers but his overall game has a long way to go.
It was a piss take!
That's alright then
Absolutely! I'm just wondering from Barca's point of view why would they want him.
They want to make a big signing, doesnt matter if he fits the team.

Posted something similar yesterday - maybe just a tad less harsher than you
But yeah, if you gave me the choice of any midfielder for United, I'd probably go with Verratti. The prices and wages for Pogba are mind boggling. He might reach those levels someday but not at the moment.
Happened with Remy and Charlie Austin didn't it?
But I don't get it either, unless the club that passes the player are just happy to take the risk the other club weren't.
Well he belongs to Mendes so shady deals are normal. He's on a year loan with an option to buy next season. Mendes will probably give a discount to Atletico for taking the risk.
Maybe some clubs go the extra mile and do tests on 'extra' things or. Or some clubs are simply more risk averse when deciding what's the pass/fail point. I have no idea really, because I'd have thought that clubs would use the same tests and use standard requirements that players must meet.
I genuinely thought something big was going to happen today. I feel as though our business will be waiting until August. Can't see anything happening now before the tour, and we won't do any business during it.
