So it didn't happen, who would've thought...

Kept checking the news, right up until the end. Sigh.

If we really made an offer in the region of 70m and Juventus rejected it then it is not a very smart move from them, to be honest. Pogba isn't worth this kind of money and once Barca come calling, he will submit a transfer request and leave for far less, probably something like 30-40m. 

 

On that note, having seen him play against Roma, Udinese and Barcelona I have to say I expected a lot more. If Vidal was available at 30m we should have gone for him before Bayern got him!

Breaking news: #Pogba negotiations fell through at the last minute but this deal will definitely go ahead in January #cfc #Chelsea

 

They guy can't even type his own name correctly when creating a twitter account, so how should he be able to get things right like transfer deals, which don't involve him at all?

Maksimov, that isn't actually his account. It's a fake one under his name. Still as farcical, however.

Also it is entirely possible one of our own has been somewhat 'creative' in their regurgitation of the tweet.

A few are running with he rejected to come here after Juventus accepted a fee.

He can jog on

Think he would improve the side, but the money juve and he wants? Forget it

I think its perfectly reasonable to want 100m euro for him given how much teams have spent recently on lesser players. Its the money he wants that is ridiculous.

Serious question, how many players in the world are on 300k pounds a week? Id guess 2

Cause then him and Neymar couldn't coordinate hairstyles as effectively.

Because Barcelona are more balanced, the better side, more successful ( in recent times ), their fans don't attack you in your car and their board doesn't sell you for the next flavour of the month. I don't like Barcelona but there are far more positives in joining them then there is in joining Real Madrid.

He won't go to Madrid as I hear he prefers the service you get with Italian waiters.

Neither really need him.

I mean Barca have Turan to come in soon to go with Iniesta, Rakitic and Busquets. Then you have the younger ones coming through!

Madrid are well stocked in that area too.

Pogba won't care. There's an allure about playing for them, Real and Bayern that no other club can match. They look really good on your footballing C.V it appears.

Thats what I figure. Nearly everyone wants to play for Madrid. Dont get how Barca is a forgone conclusion.

Not that i'd complain if we try to sign Pogba in Jan/next summer, but if RLC has a good season i'd hope we go for the Italian Dennis Wise instead (Verratti).

I wouldn't rule out PSG yet, they have all the $ in the world to pay, and they would love arguably the biggest name in French football right now to play for them.

Probably a better quality player than Wise but I agree.

But did he score a f**king great goal in the San Siro?
