Prove it. You just seem to go around spouting baseless negativity.
It's more a sense of logic, that and my preference of not reading ramblings of the stupid, living in denial for 160+ pages.

Makes me laugh a little when you get a player like this who hasn't don’t anything of real note yet talking up his preferred destination being Madrid.

If people didn’t like Pogba then I reckon they will despise this kid. At least Pogba talked about Madrid when he had won something.

I’ve been excited to see Camavinga develop but if he’s this outspoken about other clubs already perhaps it’s better we concentrate on players with their feet on the ground and who want to be here.
Outspoken? Where are all these outspoken quotes then? The only quotes I see from him some time ago he speaks of beinng flattered at being linked to clubs "Like Real Madrid and Bayern"...."But hasnt decenided with his family his next move". So its a pretyt basic speakign of being flattered, hardly outspoken and he hasnt even said he wants to go to Madrid as he hasnt decided....it isnt purely his wish to play in Spain from those quotes.

And why do we have to compare every player to Pogba? ALl the interviews I have seen of Camavinga and those around him, he comes across very much as a humble, driven, down to earth and mature young man....not a flash, social media chasing fame type at all, so your comparison is in my opinion completely wrong, laughably so.

He may well want to go to Spain, but its just online rumours saying so at the moment, nothing more

I’m just mentioning the narrative that has been said all along that he prefers Madrid. Imo he’s far from the finished article and not currently the level required for Madrid (yet, because he’s super talented and will keep improving.)

In my opinion that comes from him or his agent but we will see. No need to be so defensive over a player who doesn’t even play for us.

If he's humble we should stay well away. We've enough nobodies in the squad.

Im not being defensive of the player, I just felt the need to respond to your post as it was absolute twaddle based purely on internet rumours, especially the "if you dont like Pogba, you will hate this guy" or words to that effect...like wtf is that all about?

I would agree with you on him not being ready for Madrid until recently as bar Varane they have always pretty much signed ready made stars. But look at the last few years and they have signed a few young players such as Viniscus and Rodrygo who Camavinga is more experienced than at the times they signed. And its not a narrative that has been mentioned all along, I already stated his only quote mentioned being flattered by links to clubs like Madird AND Bayern but he HASNT decided what his next move would be...how does that show he wants to go to Madrid all along, it doesnt, your just talking rubbish

Well look how butthurt people get about Pogba and how they’ve turned on him largely because he’s talked up Madrid once or twice and his agent does the same.

‘Apparently’ this kid is doing that, or his agent has, before he’s even established himself at a top club in a decent league.

Maybe he hasn’t done that but it’s certainly been the narrative so far in most articles. So, you should get the drift of my point.

Yet again with the defensiveness, relax Eduardo’s Dad.

:lol:

Yeah, he'd never reach Pogba's level if he was quiet and humble. He'd have to settle for the level of guys like Scholes, Kante, Xavi, Iniesta, Makelele...

You evoke logic and then immediately say you don't want to be forced to read the ramblings in here? Amusing your logic alludes you as to the best course of action to take in order to avoid that happening :cool: But I digress...

Camavinga dream aint dead just yet, sign the cnut Ed

no one has the knowledge to know for certain apart from the player himself

You guys must liked being burned over and over.

If the guys first choice is Madrid, same as it was Pogba's before we re-signed him, why on earth do you think a) he will come here out of preference and b) he would be at the level you are expecting him to be.

This club should only be signing players who want to be here 100%, which is where we have failed time and again under woodward, who just throws crazy wages & contracts at people to secure a big name, who puts in very little effort or enthusiasm as they wait for next transfer.

I would normally agree but this guy could be amazing and say in 2 - 3 years, he’s improved so much that real made an approach. That would mean he’s a) played very well for us and b) no doubt we’d make a big profit on him.

I trust the club to make the right call on him. I think we’ve gone back to the SAF days where we seem to be vetting the personality of players more (I.e. the ones who really want to be here) instead of being starstruck by the marquee names like we were with ADM and Sanchez.

Dybala really didn’t want to be here and would only move if we paid him stupid money so we passed on him.

We don't need another player who isn't fully committed to play for us and dream to play elsewhere. Have had enough of D Maria, Pogba etc.

Caf is cropping that image terribly. Romano commented on a livestream saying "Camavinga next?"

What position is his best? Is he more box to box or a CDM? Haven't seen much of him at all.
He was deployed as more of a traditional CM the season just past where he wasn't as impressive iirc. I think his best position is as a DM or a 'destroyer' CM in the mould of Kante. He's all action. His best attribute is his ability to recover possession imo.

Deepthroating information to Howard Nurse.
where do you see it happening based on the players already at the club and the monies spent on sancho and varane when concluded?
I’d say there are currently question marks around James, Donny, Matic and Lingard not to mention Bailly, Axel, Williams, Dalot and the GKs. There are plenty of places we can raise funds (the price is 30m euros apparently) without selling Pogba.

Thank you! Yeah sounds good. Although we could do with a more "Matic" type player that dictates the tempo too.

I'm surprised this train is still going at a steady pace.

No big rumours that things are progressing and the player is apparently not keen.

Ye na, I wouldn't classify Camavinga as a Matic type, he's more all action. That being said, he's ridiculously talented and very good on the ball, still developing as a player too. He could probably still very much decide the type of player he wants to become.

excellent choice....

definitely not a matic type as matic is never been once known for having any sort of pace or mobility....that's the one really impressive thing about the young lad is his ability to cover ground but still possessing the tactical understanding of playing that pivot role

Yeah, he is a bit of strange combination. He has all the attributes of an all action player, someone that you would see play like a box to box but he is best used as a CDM in charge of destroying opposing attacks and start the transition. I have been tempted to compare him to a young Vidal or at least the player that I seem to remember he was at Leverkusen.
