And the attitude of most people was that we would never let go of our deadweight for free as well, like I claimed. We would get decent prices for them. That was the attitude of most people. It was never gonna happen.

The question we should ask ourselves is, would we notice? We got Piqué, Mascherano and Mathieu still.
so why would we be buying them if they ain't good enough
are we desperate to fill in the numbers despite the quality of players filling them?
Juve doesnt want to sell. Marotta has said he is not for sale. They are a rich club and can demand a great price if they want to. People will get disappointed thinking he is available for a resonable fee, just like when they claimed we would actually get money for our player sales. Totally deluded.

Being right about Barça's dead weight is quite easy, it's been like that for years now. You're not the only one who knew this would happen. But Pogba for 200m, not counting his wages, looks really unlikely. The whole package might get to that because he'll get insane wages, but not his fee.

Who knows, maybe one of them will blossom and become a great CB?

Exactly what ive been saying.
Our midfield is not that great. Iniesta is the best there is, but the rest are just subpar, or decent (Rakitic)
We have alot of midfielders, but the quality is not really there, and LaMasia isnt providing.
We already lost out on Gündogan, one of 3 that could imrove our midfield, and out of Pogba and Veratti, only Pogba is available.
If we loose out on him aswell, were screwed for a long time in strengthening our midfield.
The main reason were doing ok is becouse of our out of this world attack and Messi.
The starting 4 defenders are good, but the bench is really bad.
Our midfield after iniesta is quite mediocre and severly lack creativity.
We have been doing that a big part of this season.
Messi, since our midifled lacks the creativiy aspect, forces Messi down the field to be the playmaker.
This harms our attack since we basicly play 4-4-2 with only Neymar and Suarez in attack.
Imo, if anything, we might want to consider starting playing Messi in AM together with Iniesta and get another RW attacker.
hah, look at what people thought a few months ago in here. Some people thought we could almost double our transfer budget by getting rid of our deadweight and then buy Pogba and Marquinhos on the cheap (80m+40m).
Pogba is the most marketable footballer for years, chased by all the top dogs, has a decade worth of commercial value for a club that signs him, the money pouring into football every year (the value of clubs is increasing 20% per year) ensures a club could recoup 100m VERY easily if they sign him, and yet people believe he'll be cheaper than Bale. It shows a complete lack of understanding IMO.

We will use those 8M to pay out the contract of Douglas and Vermaelen so they can go on a free transfer.
Total income: 0m.

Many people are always hoping for miracles. But pogba's fee won't be 200m because of his wages. That would make him an impossible signing. Huge wages and a 200m fee is unreasonable. Unless, of course, if he starts scoring like Messi or Suarez, on top of everything else.
He won't be cheaper than Bale, but around his value.

The club, obviously, because that was what the rumour you translate to truth states.
Of course, it wont be 200m straight up, it will be lots of incentives and installments but there is zero chance the total price will be the same as Bale or Neymar (who had only a year left on his contract as well), that I am 100% sure of. The money in today's football and in the coming years ensures this is complete fantasy.
