But @Acquire Me has never said he was ITK. Just sharing the info from his friend in a marketing department who is involved in a business with the club. He only said the deal was "done" bar technicalities on July 11th, both parties agreed to make a deal happen. I don't get the witch hunt here. I do hope we move on.
That's exactly what claiming to be ITK is.
 
Sports Witness reporting we're still going to fight Real for Gomes after Pogba. We're just bullying them now :lol:
Would love it, so you thought we were signing Pogba cause you dint want to? Well here is a a feck you on your face!.

I dont think it's a witch hunt, some of us are skeptics because of the exact reason Rado_N said. Maybe he's legit but he has full right to be skeptical and think he's a bullshitter like the rest
 
Vidal is excellent but doesn't possess Pogba's dribbling ability or strength in the air. Pogba has all the tools to be the best all-rounder in the game. Shame about the hair.
But Pogba dosent her the rigor or defensive prowess like Vidal does though.
 
he wasn't though. he was pretty early, but not the first
Pretty sure he was. He didn't beat around the bush, said we will definitely sign him 100%. Nobody else stuck their neck on the line like that.
 
There was a video posted about 1 year back.
It was where Vidal ran half the length of the pitch and he was seriously huffing and puffing. I thought that he was going to need an oxygen mask.
It was for Juventus. He was chasing a striker who was clearly more energetic and faster than Vidal.
After Vidal blew a gasket, Evra looked at Vdal, as if to say, "WTF!"

After seeing that video, I felt that Vidal wouldn't be athletic enough perform at the highest level in the EPL. I had visions of Vidal chasing Vardy around the pitch, but not actually being able to get anywhere near him.

Pogba is certainly more athletic and more suited to the EPL (IMO).
Really? Wen I watch Vidal I see the opposite. A very energetic and rough middy on both ends of the pitch for club and country.

My point was that @Acquire Me is not directly involved in this deal. He shared what his friend told him. It was true for Mourinho, Zlatan and now Pogba. July 11th I remember that Juventus stance was to not sell and everyone was laughing at us. So... Anyway, I get your point, hopefully you understand mine.
 
Can we seriously not have another long discussion about ITK's in this thread? Its ridiculous having to sort through all of the irrelevant posts to find actual information and discussion regarding Pogba. When is the ITK thread going to be made? Let them all have a little party in there. :)
 
That report in relation to Gomes is most likely not true, it's probably a briefing to get Madrid to pay up as they're stalling on what Valencia want.
 
Really? I know he tries to get the ball back but when he does he ends up fouling

There was a stat posted earlier in the thread that Pogba wins the ball back in the final third more than any other player in Europe. Or he's in the top 3, something like that.

I think that's fair. Pogba is a decent ball winner but Vidal is superb at hunting the opponent down. To get the best from Pogba we'll want him driving forward from a midfield three.

They know its bullshit. There is no way we are dropping another £35-40m on a player we dont need in a position we are going to be well stocked in.

In all seriousness, it's about time we've started living up to our biggest club in England reputation in the market. I'd be delighted if we became the new Bayern and just get shit done efficiently.

I believe the video is of Torino fullback Bruno Gomes when he ran across the pitch(sick goal) before scoring a screamer. Gomes was already full speed when approaching Vidal, so Vidal had no chance to hit his speed before being already miles behind him. He should have taken a booking. Not saying he shouldn't have done better, but if that is the video in question, that doesn't give Vidal a fair chance.

we need to start buying from our local rivals now.

I think we are definitely improving. Teams were after Schneiderlin last summer and we got that quick and out of the blue and the same this year with Pogba. Going forward we will be getting more and more efficient.
 
FYI Sport Witness never make claims on their own, all they do is translate/promote stuff from other sources.

Yea I know, it came from Super Desporte or something. A Valencia paper anyway.

Yea, may well not be.

I've said a few times though that I certainly think Jose likes him. The very first reports around December/January of Mourinho coming were all 'he is coming in the summer and bringing Andre Gomes with him'. Was a bit of a random name to keep putting in the reports I thought. Being Portuguese, and looking at the calibrate of clubs chasing him this summer, it's clear he is considered quite a big deal within the game, and Jose, being a compatriot may have got in there early and planned to make him part of his project.
 
fun and jokes aside, surely we are well stocked in CM after this signing :lol:

Things can change quickly to be fair. The departures haven't started yet. Gomes and Pogba infront of a defensive midfielder will be something. Gomes is capable of more defensive stuff than he showed in France I believe, although possibly still a bit too open.

Didnt see Gomes name on the board though.:D In fairness we wont be getting him. We need to move along way too many players to fit in just one more player.
