Are you in Norway?, how come you are a 'ITK'?I dont know. Probably it will only be more than 4 If anyone leave. Thats pretty much what Mourinho said in the presser, so not much news.

No one has ever outbid them like this before. It is a rather satisfying feeling.
If you take the fact that covers the top 5 leagues in Europe, those stats are pretty damn impressive. ...
Say what? His average ranking across those 8 stats is 68th.
Isn't Di Marzio' English speaking mouth piece (Amoyal) saying he thinks he is more likely to stay at Juve than go to United or Real.
Yes because his pass accuracy was 254th lol. Nice try though. He's in the top 50, and even top 25 for the important ones. The fact that he came 254th in one of them shows that these results are out of at least 254 midfilders.Say what? His average ranking across those 8 stats is 68th.

Aw man feed me some more.It would be really strange if an agreement is not reached. Last thing I was told is that an agreement is close.
Now is the time to be right. Hopefully Juventus thinks that kind of money is unreal and is too happy to sell right now.It would be really strange if an agreement is not reached. Last thing I was told is that an agreement is close.
Aw man feed me some more.
He's definitely overrated. He isn't even in the top 10 midfielders in the world. But I still want him 100 million is a lot but its not my money, and he has the potential to become a complete all rounder. If Mourinho wants him, I want him
Bastion is still a top midfielder when on form, i'm surprised so many on here have pretty much written him off.Top 10 maybe harsh but there are a few better than him. Modric, Kroos and Iniesta easily and although this will be controversial I still think Bastian when fit is right up there.
He told me to tell United fans, "not to expect too much of him as a result of the massive transfer fees quoted and that he needs time to develop and mature."What else did he say to you when you spoke to him yesterday?
It's his own personal opinion, been saying a bid hasn't been officially launched and he doesn't see why juve would want to sell him.Isn't Di Marzio' English speaking mouth piece (Amoyal) saying he thinks he is more likely to stay at Juve than go to United or Real.

I get the feeling the people looking at this and saying 'he's overrated' are thinking these stats are only for the Italian legue.

]How about without the joint 254th ball possession
What makes you think we'll sell him for less? he is nothing like di maria and I think he'll be a huge star in the PL. When Madrid come for him in the future, we'll take a player plus cash.100m is my objection , because it's a temporary spend he'll most likely leave in 2-3 yrs , anleka redux , and for less than half.
What the hell???Totally he is towing a caravan but his class is just out there for me. Best midfielder (when fit) in the premiership for me.
Exactly, stats don't tell you the whole story and mean little really oither than a guidline. How many of his assists were important assists, how many of his goals were match winning/match turning goals, how many of his tackles were huge potential goal stopping tackles, same with all the stats.]
For someone who made the FifaPro11 and is regarded top 3 CM by that metric, I found these stats kind of moody. He stands out in dribbling and assists. It may not be so easy dribbling like this when under high pressure in England but who knows...
He is overrated partly because of his streaky brilliance and immense potential plus his overall persona. His age, potential and marketability all matter though. And certainly, if he fails, whether he was bought for 60 million or 100 will not matter much. Likewise if he succeeds. As I said before, incredibly difficult to justify 100 million plus for a player who isn't an out and out forward simply because it's much harder to measure other impact areas. But anyone disappointed with this if it happens has got be thinking too much..
Time to rewatch this
Like you ever wanted him to signGetting fecking boring now! He's either gonna sign or he ain't. Hate when these things drag on. Better not be a Berbatov/Fellaini/Falcao last minute thing! I would just say sod you and move on. The first three signings were easy as they all WANTED to join United. If he's holding out for Real, feck him!
Getting boring? This has just started mate. This thread has great potential to break page record and end up with one of the greatest transfer disappointments ever.Getting fecking boring now!

He's still in the Euro's, this was never going to be completed until the Euros are over. The earliest this transfer will be sorted is next week some time but even that maybe optimistic.Getting fecking boring now! He's either gonna sign or he ain't. Hate when these things drag on.

He is seriously overrated, but still the only midfield talent I would take over him today is Veratti, who is impossible to sign.
Would much rather have Kroos for £60m and Kante for his release clause though (the two of them, not just one), that would take us to about £80-85m or so. Still some money left as compared to the Poggers deal.
Lucas Moura for me, i was gutted beyond imagine when we fecked that up because of stupid agent fees. Yes Moura hasn't fulfilled his potential so far but at the time, i really thought he was taylormade for our team (wing play was huge in our game at that time).Getting boring?

madnessSky Italia now reporting that Juventus are going to reject the 120 million euros.
Now it begins....
The last thing everybody wants is for this stupid transfer to drag out even if we do successfully sign him. Looking like that's exactly about to happen. Why can't everything just be easy?madness
To be fair, it was a bit stupd by us to go in so high as our starting offer.Sky Italia now reporting that Juventus are going to reject the 120 million euros.
Now it begins....
we won't offer more than 120. If they reject that, then move on I say.The last thing everybody wants is for this stupid transfer to drag out even if we do successfully sign him. Looking like that's exactly about to happen. Why can't everything just be easy?
lol.1 year from now:
- Guillem, what do you think about the weather?
- Look, guy, Pogba wanted to join Real Madrid, ok?
