What type of midfielder do you want though? If you want the incisive midfield maestro then those players don't come into the equation.Over Modric, Kroos, Iniesta, Busquets? Not so sure about that. And that's if you have three midfielders.
hey guys tell me that this is happening, how close were we to Gaitan or Snejder or Vidal, it wasn't never that close was it? I'd be broken man if this doesn't happen...

This is happening! Do you need someone to hold you as well? And feck Gaitan but we were pretty close to the other two deals happening as well.hey guys tell me that this is happening, how close were we to Gaitan or Snejder or Vidal, it wasn't never that close was it?

you've said enough to get me goinghttp://sport.ilmessaggero.it/calcio...d_de_laurentiis_minaccia_higuain-1866238.html
essentially they seem to be saying Raiola was mediating the deal last night in a phone conference and the deal is around 125m euros. Can someone translate better than google please.
definitelyBiggest cm signing since who? Keane?

not sure about box to box, but I don't think there is any young mid available with his kind of technique, power, and size. he's the perfect balance between strength and technical ability.Question. Who right now is a better box to box midfielder than him right now?
That's all important regarding Pogba in this article, plus they are mentioning his wages will be 13 million per year on a 5 year contract and 20% of the fee provision for Raiola. The rest is info on Micki and Ibra and their interest in Higuain.http://sport.ilmessaggero.it/calcio...d_de_laurentiis_minaccia_higuain-1866238.html

him leaving was so sad.... to me was sadder than Ronaldo, I may shed a tear when he gets his official debutI'm so glad I can go back to gushing over him like I did when he was here. All those hours watching him at youth level aren't going to waste after all.
Seems so. This thread jumped 70 pages while I was away.You have missed a legendary day at caf, my friend.
Still have sweat-incuded nightmares of "done dealio"This is definitely at a further level already than where we got with Vidal and Sneijder for sure,
I think Sneidjer hinged on agent fees as well or was it his wages? But reliable journos called that a done deal as well.This is definitely at a further level already than where we got with Vidal and Sneijder for sure,
the white board and Juventuz forum wars made it for me. it's a cafe classicThis is definitely at a further level already than where we got with Vidal and Sneijder for sure,
you can't put a buyback clause in if you don't sell them.still way too much money. I don't understand why we would ever let go of a player with as much potential without a guaranteed buy back/first option clause like Barcelona and Real Madrid do. We are such amateurs when it comes to buying/selling players. 90% of our squad depreciate by double as soon as they join us.
I have to say out Real Madrid'ing Real Madrid is one of my favourite aspects of this transfer. Huge statement and a big middle finger to the rest of Europe about our power.

how gracious of the cnutsDid you not hear? They're letting him have us. (Because they can't afford him).
Forget Juventus, no one has been involved in such a rich deal before. More than 95m in profit. Feck me what a deal!Juventus had never been involved in such a rich deal before. For Mino this will be a hatrick, after he managed to sort a deal for Ibra (15m for 1 season with an option to sign him for a second season) and Mkhitaryan for 31.5m (10m per season for 5 seasons)
We drove his contract down to the last 12 months and then frantically started negotiating. On top of that we refused to pay what he asked AND played Park and Rafael ahead of him in midfield.still way too much money.

Meant to edit but deleted post instead. will repost.
@Massive Spanner i get that. But we SHOULD have just sold him if he wanted to leave to get more playing time
Did you not hear? They're letting him have us. (Because they can't afford him).
Come on, all he's done is is say "it's done" as soon as it becomes blatantly obviously we were going to sign Mourinho/Pogba.Btw @Acquire Me is now a legendary Caf ITK, he doubled down on Pogba, good lad!!!
get in!!!http://sport.ilmessaggero.it/calcio...d_de_laurentiis_minaccia_higuain-1866238.html
Mino's hardwork had produced fruit. Pogba’s transfer deal between Juventus and United which was engineering by the Italo-Dutch agent is close to be confirmed (unless Real surprises everybody). Juventus had known of United’s interest for Pogba for quite some time now who had been offered 13m of euros for the next 5 years + bonus and is close to agree in selling the player for 125m euros. The deal may have been fast-tracked in the past night, thanks to a telephone call from the agent who will net 20% of the deal. Such clause was part of a deal done during Pogba’s transfer to Juventus in 2012 and which only costed Juventus 5m euros. Juventus had never been involved in such a rich deal before. For Mino this will be a hatrick, after he managed to sort a deal for Ibra (15m for 1 season with an option to sign him for a second season) and Mkhitaryan for 31.5m (10m per season for 5 seasons)
