Maybe but it hasn't been publicised that much over here.
Porto have two great young centre backs in Diogo Queiros and Diogo Leite but their route into the team is blocked by a couple of mid-30s centre backs.
I can understand being 33 that Koscielny would like to leave, he's been there for many years now. Probably had his fill of London.
There’s ways to do it though. Refusing to go on tour is beyond scummy. I’d give him jail time.
I like Steve Bruce as a manager.
Hardly any manager in history can sustain success for a prolonged period of time. That's just the way football management works. Maintaining a competitive spirit in the dressing room without losing respect is almost impossible for years at a time.
Brucey, like just about every other good manager, comes into a club and then lifts it. It's unfair to judge him solely by the way he leaves.
You should judge him by the lift he provides, the players he signs and the state of the club after he's gone. On those scores, he's really very decent. His eye for underrated talent is as good as you'll find in the bottom half of the PL. I'd expect him to discover at least a couple of players that end up in the top 6 at some point in their careers.

Basically doing what a lot of our fans would have us believe Pogba is
First Griezmann,then Neymar, now Kos, it's the summer of AWOL players it seems
Yeah, because our midfield is so stacked with talent already, right?Probably BS anyway, but I don't want Savic for 50 million euros, let alone 100 million.
Most of these stories are BS, but he'd be a great replacement for Fellaini. We'd have a midfielder who can be used as a target man in desperate situations again.
Did Ornstein transmit that by telegraph?
If the owner is Mike Ashley, manager is Steve Bruce and you have to live in Tyneside, I'd probably consider buggering off to join the French legion or something.
Savic done nothing on international or European stage at 24 and is worth £90m???? Hahahahaha. Yeah get real. He's worth about £50m tops.
Don't even think the 74m bid is genuine. That would make him one of the most expensive CM's ever and he's nowhere near that good.

Yes, no doubt about that. I am not happy with Pogba. That said, Ole says his very professional and I guess he actually is.
FDoes anyone know if this guy reliable please?
He isn't.
Last year everyone wanted us to spend 100m on him. One average season doesnt make him bad!Probably BS anyway, but I don't want Savic for 50 million euros, let alone 100 million.
If we are keeping Pogba, we need a totally different CM to Savic.
Thanks
Someone please just give us some good news on some transfers to us.
Thought Real had no money left. Seems now SSN, they are going for Neymar
Probably realised if its between Neymar and Pogba there is a clear winner in terms of true game changers.
He appears to have the ear of a lot of sources. Some of them will tell him the truth at any given time. Others will tell him fibs for nefarious reasons.
I certainly wouldn't discount anything he says. He's often the first to report things that other media picks up later on.
He's reliable in the sense that he doesn't make shit up. But there's only so much he can do about his sources wanting to spread disinformation.
I don't know what people expect from Twitter. Nobody is ever going to be 100% correct because the situation is constantly changing on the ground. They can only report what they're told. All we can do is try to sift out the ones who create total fiction.
Thanks for that
. Nice to know that he doesn't just make up crap for the sake of it, which is very reassuring.I know we think Marcotti is a bit of a tit, but still:
Err, noncommittal

So he's doing what Rooney did? Rooney was right when he went down this route, is Pogba?

Most likely no one is willing to pay what we want.
It was really odd that Moyes decided to buy him from us. Went on to play a good number of games that season too.
Judging by our window thus far, not sure how he's going to be reassured, unless you call giving him a big fat new contract reassurance.
Apart from he isn't doing any such thing this is just a nice bit of PR spin in case he doesn't get sold.
Madrid and barca will be that skint soon, @Fridge chutney will soon be posting tweets about them.
Bingo

If that had been the reason in the first place he would have said so and instantly be lauded by 100% of the fanbase.
I think it is looking likely he's going nowhere this summer now, so would make sense he'd want to backtrack.
I would most likely question the club's ambition if I was in Pogba's seat, especially the mess we've been in the past few years in mind. You can call Pogba overrated or underrated, the bottom line is he is a wanted man by clubs who have the quality to win trophies consistently, and he is currently in a club who have had a rebuilding project for 6 years and gotten nowhere. He has every right to be concerned about his career.
