I wonder where this site is based. Those posters sound American. Just sayin'.
What's the deal with that?Shout out to Bianconero_Aus for having so much faith in me.
If I was a Juve fan, I'd be thinking long and hard about where my club really stands in the food chain of European powerhouses. Losing your talisman to a club in their worst period in 30+ years, a club that he formerly played for, despite winning your own league five times in a row and basically a guaranteed UCL spot ever year. Juve is a rich club too, let's make that clear. Not United rich, but they just poached the best players of the second and third best teams in the Calcio. When it comes to history, they're arguably just behind Real and Barca. They've produced BDO winners and World Cup stars. Yet all of it somehow wasn't enough to keep Pogba.
Pretty sure we are critising juventuz.com for being hilariously bitter and deluded.Why on Earth are we criticising another forum for glory hunting? Are we all Mancunian on here?
I don't think they'll see much of it considering they spent 74 million Euros on Higuain.If I was a Juve fan I'd be laughing all the way to the bank
It was 90m euros (£75m)I don't think they'll see much of it considering they spent 74 million Euros on Higuain.
Even better!It was 90m euros (£75m)
1. Zidane, if I am not wrong was a WC and a Euro winner when he moved. He was multiple Ballon d'or and FIFA world player of year prior to his transfer to Real. He was one of the biggest, established players going around at that time. His legend was sealed by the time 1998 final was over. Pogba in comparison has achieved nothing. Juve would still walk the league without him. His Euro was uninteresting to say the least and his CL final was hardly anything to write about. He has huge potential, but absolutely no gurantee he will even come close to ZZ by end of his career. I see no reason to compare them at this time, other than being French.1) Zidane was a midfielder who moved clubs at the age of 29, 17 years ago and cost 75 million Euros. Roy Keane used to be our record signing at one point. We had a freaking defender holding our transfer record for a decade. Just because Ronaldo and Suarez are the latest players to have moved for huge money, doesn't mean that it can only be spent on forwards only.
2) I don't know when I will get tired of answering this. The mistake was made four years ago when we let him go. It's done, it's in the past. From this point onwards, we could either sign one of the best young midfielders in the world or let him go to one of our rivals and further increase the gap between them and us.

If they can call us glory hunters, why can't we? There are maximum 2/3 decent posters over there, the rest are proper bellends.Pretty sure we are critising juventuz.com for being hilariously bitter and deluded.
I've seen one post here mentioning glory hunters.
Incredible deal for Juve in general on the whole, but I think it must sting a little to sell him for only €20m more than they bought Higuain for.ahh, strange. If I were a Juve fan, I wouldn't be too worried. They already have a very good team and made the biggest sports business in the world. Probably this was the most profitable business ever done by any club. Get a player for free and sell him back for 100m. How many times has this happened? Also mind that this fee is for a midfielder, which makes it even more astounding. Ronaldo, Bale, Suarez all are forwards/striker. If you take into account transfer fee of a midfielder, this is astronomical. It only somehow makes United look desperate that they had to pay this price for not recognizing their youth potential.
Yeah? well theirs did start in March 2012.2034 pages. They put us to shame.
And they have 20 posts per page, we have 40.Yeah? well theirs did start in March 2012.
Ah good point. They got rinsed with HiguainI don't think they'll see much of it considering they spent 74 million Euros on Higuain.
This!I doubt any of them
A. Are Italian
B. Have ever been to Italy
C. Over the age of 18
Option A: Higuain + £14m.It was 90m euros (£75m)
That is disgusting.One of them just posted a video which basically calls Pogba the n-word.
Cretins.
Unsurprising though, as they've also been calling this place "Fagcafe". Racism and homophobia, all from losing one of their players. They're not the most tolerant bunch.That is disgusting.
Only one post said that. What kind of moral victory are you trying to achieve here?Why on Earth are we criticising another forum for glory hunting? Are we all Mancunian on here?
20 posts per page there but 40 posts here so more posts on the Caf about this saga.2034 pages. They put us to shame.

Thank feck I'm a Manc. I could never picture meself supporting a club outside of me hometown.Why on Earth are we criticising another forum for glory hunting? Are we all Mancunian on here?
Did we take Ronaldo from Madrid on a free then return them to him for 80m pounds? No, we bought him as one of the most expensive teenager and turned him into a world class player. Even till this day we still havent found his replacement in the team in term of ability and stature.Yeah I'm sure this place wasn't bitter or bothered at all towards Madrid in 2009. So much so that any mention of Madrid in connection to a transfer automatically triggers some posters here.
Yeah, because it was totally Juve's fault he left on a free.Did we take Ronaldo from Madrid on a free then return them to him for 80m pounds? No, we bought him as one of the most expensive teenager and turned him into a world class player. Even till this day we still havent found his replacement in the team in term of ability and stature.
Honestly, I don't think it's the fact that they lost Pogba, if they lost him to Madrid or Barca or Bayern, I doubt they'd be anywhere near as upset. They might even be quite happy having replaced him well.Its ok. The hate is the proof of how badly it hurts to lose Pogba. Don't believe the fools that tell you that they are ok with this.
Option A: Higuain + £14m.
Option B: Pogba.
Know which I'd pick.
