Juventus still wouldn't get near the CL trophy with or without Pogba and Bonucci. They always bottle it in the final.

How many have they won in their history? 2 isn't it? When was the last time? 1996? I bet most the kids on Juventuzzz wasn't even born when it happened.

Being the big club in Serie A these days is like being a boss in a company where he or she works alone. It really doesn't mean much.

Most players with ambition look to leave Serie A these days unless they are Italian and prefer to stay at home.
 
Have to admit I LOVE insider info from people who get to work and be close to people who know info. Of course people making stuff up is pretty annoying but I think here on the CAF it makes little sense to make things up and spin that you somehow know infomation that you dont as youll get found out and banned. Keep them coming I say its great fun.

As for my own inside info (not to do with Pogba) an old friend who ive known for well over 10 years (im 28) well her mum works at Arsenal and actually does all the accounts and sorts out contracts for players. Im always asking her for information but unlike some others she is absolutely tight lipped. Wont say a peep much to my frustration.

Weird to know I could be a genuine ITK for Arsenal, shame she wont chat and shame I dont give a toss about Arsenal.

Well, despite having never mentioned it prior, I am totally ITK on this one.

It turns out Rooney and I both frequent the house of a certain lady.

She asked him about it the other day and his response was that it's a 'near done-dealio', 'tell the muppets to get their cocks out' and to keep our 'eyes on the skies'. Cryptic terms, but sound positive.
 
Fashionably late ;)

But seriously is there anything concrete here?
Di Marzio, the journalistic God said we have an agreement in principle with Pogba and Ballbag, the journalistic sour cnut said we have outbid Madrid and that he is United bound.

Oh ok, the same Ballbag that said we had Torres in the bag? Still, I'll choose to throw logic out and go half Muppet...
 
Well you're late to the party.

I don't see why you should be spared from having to trawl through the pages of Muppetry and get us to do the hard work for you to get the juicy bits...

You must suffer like we all have!! :smirk:
 
Kroos isn't leaving Real Madrid.
Kante isn't better than Pogba.
Iniesta is old, and not leaving Barcelona.
Modric is getting on, and not leaving Real Madrid.
Koke isn't leaving Atletico.
Verratti won't leave PSG, we simply cannot afford him.
Busquets isn't going to leave Barcelona.
Vidal just arrived at Bayern and won't leave.
Alaba won't leave, and is unproven as a midfielder.
Rakitic isn't better than Pogba.

Any other realistic alternatives that are better than Pogba?

But Kante is the flavour of the season. Why don't you like Kante? Surely you're a big Kante not to like Kante
 
I'm just going to keep checking this thread through the day multiple times till a decision is made one way or another and not say anything more about possibility of getting or not getting the said player..

Just going to be neutral about both possibilities. That way it would either be a great surprise or I can move on mostly unscathed.. After, Sneijder, Thiago, Fabregas, Vidal I don't want to get invested into one more of this saga completely..

I hope it happens.. But I don't want to get in to the yes or no camp yet.. It's better that way..
 
This is a serious football forum and you people quote Balague. Honestly, I can't wrap my head around that.The guy is a clown.
 
I have been deliberately avoiding this thread for some time now..but am getting pulled in ever so slowly..cannot go full muppet...yet
 
Looks like there's been a big sale on salt this summer.

First we had Dortmund being incredibly petty putting in a dig about Mkhitaryan playing in Europa and now Guillem Balague throws in a Europa cheap shot. Seems they're disgusted Champions League is not the ultimate draw. Funny that both Dortmund and Juve have been playing in the Europa recently.
 
Balague is clearly wumming United fans even if what he says is true, so can we just ignore him and not bring up his nonsense in this thread again? He hasn't called anything right out of the blue.
 
Poor @Random Task. he was just a week too early with his ITK text messages about failed medicals. He and his mates would have had a ball in this thread now.

Redknapp: "I would pick Dele Alli over Pogba"
The sooner English football is rid of wilfully thick gonks like Redknapp the better.
 
I have at least these 10 in front of him (in no particular order):

Kroos
Kante
Iniesta
Modric
Koke
Verratti
Busquets
Rakatic
Vidal
Alaba

All this list shows is that Pogba is the best midfielder in the world right now. Only Veratti comes close - the rest are not as complete/are defensive midfielders. And Iniesta is past his prime.
 
Saw this on Juventuz :

Wow...you guys are a different level of stupid. Your club is playing in Europa league ffs, a continental cup nobody gives a damn about.

Thinking you can sign anyone just because you signed Mourinho (no club wanted him anyway), Bailly (who the $#@! is he...another Depay??), Micky (Another kagawa on the last year of his contract) and Ibra (a 35 year old who had no chance of signing for a TOP club and is just looking for a final paycheck like LVG) is a level of retardness only EPL fans are capable off.

Juventus are one of the top teams in Europe right now and likely to be one of the protagonists in this years CL.

You guys were knocked out of the CL in the group stage last year deservedly and then proceeded to finish below $#@!ing Leicester and Spurs, while your current manager managed to choke even more and make previous years champions look like relegation candidates.

You have currently 1 world class player who wouldn't have been there if Madrid weren't chumps of the highest order. We, on the other hand, have one of the world's best defence and midfield and players who want to stay here and win something.

Swallow the truth fagcafe. JUVE ARE A MUCH MORE RELEVANT CLUB THAN MANURE RIGHT NOW AND YOU ARE JUST CARICATURES OF LIVERPOOL WITH DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR.

Your club is reduced to just a means players and agents use to get a new contract. Pogba will be another one of your Vidal, Ramos, Muller saga. No player serious about his long term career would join your $#@!hole team and you will be rejected like you have been getting rejected all these past years.

:lol:
 
Don't think Rakitic is in front of him. Alaba also as a CM not yet - probably in the future he can grow into the role, but not yet.

I won't put Kante on that list as well. Vidal is not at his Juve level(which was indeed better). The rest I agree.

For me Modric and Busquets are the best midfielders right now, followed by Verratti, Kroos, Iniesta. Then Koke/Pogba bracket.
Kante isn't better than Pogba. No way.
Alaba? No way.

Hasn't Vidal also been a bit subdued for Bayern?

Wouldn't Pobga, at least, be on par with Koke?
Kroos isn't leaving Real Madrid.
Kante isn't better than Pogba.
Iniesta is old, and not leaving Barcelona.
Modric is getting on, and not leaving Real Madrid.
Koke isn't leaving Atletico.
Verratti won't leave PSG, we simply cannot afford him.
Busquets isn't going to leave Barcelona.
Vidal just arrived at Bayern and won't leave.
Alaba won't leave, and is unproven as a midfielder.
Rakitic isn't better than Pogba.

I'm actually not saying we shouldn't buy him, I'm just pointing out that there are better players.
Neither Kante nor Koke nor Alaba (:lol:) are better midfielders. You are talking out of your arse.

First and foremost, I was pushing it a bit with Alaba, I just wanted to get to the 10 players better than him stage. I'm not backing down from those top 9 though. All are at least as good as Pogba at the moment (if not better). Like I said before though, Pogba is not worth 100 million, but he could end up being valued at more than 100 million by us in a few years (with performances on the pitch, and various sponsorship deals e.t.c.)

That is rich coming from a fan of a club who ended in the series battery because of bribery

Kroos
Kante
Iniesta
Modric
Koke
Verratti
Busquets
Rakatic
Vidal
Alaba

To be honest, retrospectively looking at that list, I could see an argument for Pogba being better than some of them (Alaba, Vidal and possibly Rakatic). He's not worth 100 million. But he has the potential to be worth 150 million (with inflation).

Kante is not better than Pogba, different types of players and Pogba if he reaches his potential has a higher ceiling than what Kante can achieve relative to his position. Furthermore Kante is at his or close to his peak right now, Pogba is nowhere near his at the moment.

Rakitic is not better than Pogba for me, he is a good player and a better CM than Pogba but again pound for pound, relative to their position he is not a better player.

Alaba is the worst midfielder on that list and is nowhere near Pogba's level as a midfielder.
