Pogba's agent Raiola has openly said that Pogba is looking to move on. I hope we get the other deal done quickly before we sell Pogba/Lukaku and getting rinsed by other selling clubs for their players.
Jimenez couldn't even buy a start at Benfica and yet he had 13 goals and 8 assists last season for Wolves, including 6 goals 3 assists vs top 6 sides. Portuguese league is at a good level and the step up isn't as massive as it seems.
Exactly this, although it worries me that we'd be going into next season with Matic as our only identified holding midfielder.
Pogba is off anyway. Milenkovic Savic to take his place, and Fernandes to come in also.
He's absolutely shit.
He’d fit in well with our other midfielders then.
Today is weekend, though. Don't we always have to wait til Monday for stock market to open and stuffs?
Thought the same thing myself when I heard Ole wanted all his transfers done by the time the tour started. Think Woody should have got them in now to give Ole time to get them used to his methods, to give him a better chance tio succeed but it looks like Woody has fecked him over.
Really hope that you are right on this
We announced awb last Saturday. We've done it before too
This would be fantastic from my point of view. I’d say the club has played the window very well if this happened.
I love live flight trackingCheck the ITK thread it was all going down there.
That a worse midfield than we had last season by far. If Pogba goes 3cms is the only acceptable option.
Hopefully. I think his workrate is being under valued. It looks as though Ole wants more energy and intensity in our game, and having an attacking midfielder willing to run himself into the ground can only be a good thing.
From the admittedly very limited time I've seen him play, yes in a sense. Though I'd say his dribbling ability isn't quite up there and he's a wee bit more selfish. Those with better knowledge of Bruno feel free to tell me I'm wrong!
Not really.
Sounds positive. A blend of creativity and dynamism would be a welcome change from the unsavoury mix of plodders and prima donnas we've become accustomed to these last few miserable years.
Now that would be nice. I still have my old Euro 2000 Portugal top with his name on the back.
A plane landed at roughly that time, yes.
Christian hardly ever defended when he was at Ajax so I have to assume that improved in his time with Spurs
In terms of selfishness, in the scale of 1 to Rashford, how selfish is he?
I’d say a 7. But again as a caveat I’ll say my knowledge of the player is limited. He seems to be a player that wants to force the issue and has complete confidence in his own abilities. He’ll take the occasional shot that’ll go sailing over the bar when there are better options available, bringing a collective groan from the fans, but he’s certainly no Jonjo Shelvey.
