Good. Then maybe you should stick to that point rather than talking about how money is wasted, when we could have gone for many other players, especially the ones our rivals bought. And especially when you are not comparing with players in the same position. Why would you want us to go after Sane when we need a midfielder?

Sorry if already reported but Sky News have just said Pogba released from his obligations with Juve and doesn't need to return to Turin at the weekend.
Di Marzio explained it last night. A £100m deal has a lot of small details and all are under scrutiny. The last details were/are being finalised before everything's handed to Juventus to sign. Then it really will be a "done deal".
Not really, we're talking about the actual transfer of Pogba, to my eyes you're the only one throwing up hypotheticals.
.....And seconds later you say you'd rather have Kroos, you're either on the wind up or a full blown dumbass. Also who the feck is more dynamic, pacier or all action than Pogba and available?
100% agree. Though becareful you will probably be slated for being negative and attention seeking.
Something still doesn't add up to me on this, I am fully expecting to hear something today, all this stuff about paperwork being signed is BS, at the moment I genuinely believe there is no deal.
He's been repeating the same crap for weeks now. He's said he doesn't like Pogba because of his hair, and that he'd rather have Matuidi instead of him. The guy isn't worth talking to but every time people bite.
And why the feck should anyone put so much stock in what you think? On a forum where opinions are the driving force of discussion, it would be wise of you to listen to what others say. You argue like a pompous child.
Em. I was reply to another poster who listed out those signings. Is reply to other people in a discussion forum not allowed now
.Link?
How is this type of crap allowed? I've a differing opinion, I made a joke about Pogba's hair ages ago. I don't like Pogba's style of midfielder. I'd prefer other options. I like Kante, Matuidi. I like Kroos. I don't like Pogba. And just coz of that I get this kind of crap every time I get involved in the conversation.
Forget available, I can't really think of any apart from maybe Modric, available or not. He's on the wum.
We already know your opinion. Move on...
While not being over enamoured with the fee - that description is almost exactly what he is. He isn't a metronomic passer, nor incredibly skilful - what he is is a player who can pick the ball up, run with it, score and create, as well as put his foot in if needs be. He is dynamic, he is "all action", he's physical and he's quick - that's exactly why Mourinho thinks he can be the fulcrum of our team.
Do we need sane? no, do we need pogba? oh yes, that powerful driving midfielder is exactly what we need, we have the wide boys, the forwards, but we need a CM, we probably need pogba and another 2, especially if herrera and morgan don't work out. I would like to see morgan, herrera and pogba in a midfield 3, but at the end of the day pogba is exactly what we need, and its a jose mourinho signing which makes it a must signing. Jose Mourinho asked for 4 specialist players, and Pogba is one of those players
Serie A begins two or three weeks after Premier League, Juventus have only got back to training a few days ago.
I agree, he's going to be in the middle of the most expensive transfer ever and if all that prevents us from signing him is that he doesn't want his holiday cut short by 3 or 4 days, I honestly don't like it. He won't have the chance to play in any of the friendlies or Community Shield, he will probably not make his debut until September.
Didn't see that post, but you can't say only one of our signings is a bit of a punt when you speak so well of other teams signings.
That's what people called you out on.
Anyway, back to Pogba.
Not skilful? He has amazing skill, touch and close control. Rarely see it in a cm of his ilk (ie, combining it with a big body, power and pace).
Have Juve officially said that or just 'sky sources'?
Rio probably knows as much as our current players. Only the manager and our board would have a better idea about the deal than him.
I think he's more physical than 'all action'. Relies on his phsyique rather than dynamism.
Would you stop, I'd be surprised if the man even has 50 top flight appearances to his name and I don't think he speaks a word of fackin English.
Give him time to adapt, people have expectations that he's going to be like a prime vidic right from the off.

You did say that those 3 would have been perfect signings rather than Pogba. So you are saying these signings will help our team while Pogba wont.
Though I still don't understand why would we go for Sane when we want midfielder.
Then you followed it by
You did proceed to be dismissive of our other signings, referring them to be inferior.
Anyways, if your point is "I dont like Pogba", then it is a personal opinion. Nothing to discuss. If your point is "Pogba is no good for our team", only then we have a discussion.
Say what now?
I'm the only one in the transfer forum throwing up hypotheticals? Okay. Wow. Now there's a mad post if ever I saw one.
The very fact that we got into the conversation about Sane, Kante & Gundongan was because I replied to ANOTHER post I might add.
No I didn't. Show me ONE place where I did that. Jesus wept.
No point signing Pogba now is there? If he's not fit for the start of the season, we will drop point, thus our hope to win the league is effectively over already. There's always next year.
True, but I would argue that the four weeks he's now had are more than enough to recover and avoid being fatigued later in the season. As I've said before I'm not averse to him having an extended break, but 3 weeks is an extended break, and after that I don't see the value. Especially not if it's eating into time when e could be getting into match fitness and settling into the team.
If anything I'd rather give him a week off later in the season to freshen up than have him take it now.
By the way why do players get devalued here and are suddenly seen less than what they'd been regarded as before they join us.
I notice this trend and it's very prominent with our own fans(well at least posters on this board). when a player isn't playing for us he is seen as this top class, world class player but as soon as the same player join us the narrative suddenly changes and people start questioning their qualities. It's already happening with Zlatan and Pogba.
Zlatan was seen as world class when playing for PSG, people were happy with his imminent arrival to us but as soon as he joined doubts started drawing in with some and they started questioning his age and whether he is still top class.
Then you have Pogba who got named in the world best 11, whom beside most people on this forums is seen as world class(I don't even know why we underrated our own players this much). I seriously find this very odd. The same Pogba had he joined city, people would have been labeling world class and moaning about missing on him but since we're the one likely to get him he inexplicably get underrated and here we are wanting other teams players who happen to be injury prone and not even on Pogba level(Gundongan).
Very odd mentality this place has.

Oh I don't think that's the case. I don't blame him for the deal not being done yet (unless he's being awkward about personal terms) I would be amazed if he could speed up negotiations by coming home early. I imagine that stuff is all out of his hands. I just think if he had his heart set on playing PL football that maybe he should be thinking about getting his body ready too. Get back to Europe, get over the jet lag and get some fitness work done. I don't know what is stopping him from doing that.
For those saying how this is boring,having a go at his vocation...wish he went on 3 weeks long vocation in space,that would teach you.
The quote was right above that. Anyways, your quote is below
So the best you could come up about our 3 signings was we have a punt in Miki while all others seem to be full on potential or already very good.
I like how this dude compares our signings to 2 different clubs like we can somehow hover all that talent spending the exact same amounts those clubs spent on the player.
Imagine getting into a bidding war with Chelsea and city. How much is that going to drive up the price of Kante, Gundogan or Sane.

Can't see this anywhere, probably BS.
We seriously need a clapping smilie/emoji/thingy
I'm thinking that guy is definitely wumming in this thread.
I never said inferior though did I? My description is subjective. You don't have to agree with it. But there is no denying Zlatan is 34, Bailly is raw and Mhki is Mhki.
If you are referring to me I most definitely am not wumming. I just am one of the few voices on here who doesn't want Pogba.
what does Mkhi is Mkhi mean exactly?
He hasn't got a strange hair cut, how come you don't like him either.
