Paul Pogba

Hamzah is right imo.
Juventus is a better club and got a better squad than PSG at the moment.

future results will be the judge of that, i guess. But I don't take issue with the claim (albeit totally exaggerated in the first instance) so much as with the arguments.

Juventus is a selling club. PSG is not. Thats something Pogba has to take into consideration.

 

[Barcaman]

In the future everything is possible. Clubs like psg, chelsea or city can be sold any moment or simply become a forgotten toy depending on one person's whim.

"Massive" was a poor choice of words. In terms of history there is a huge gulf, in current playing level they are quite similar, but I think juventus are slightly better, they have proven they can reach a final. I'm sure psg are capable of this but juventus have actually done it.

Ain't it grand that Pogba wants 12 mil. net. Noone is touching the subject of greediness of the youngster.

So if I understand it correct, ManCity and PSG can't afford Pogba this summer due to the FFP (http://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/psg-city-seguiran-sin-ser-una-amenaza-para-barca-4316215)?

So we're the front-runners to sign him now, this should help Barca in the salary-negotiation with Pogba himself to lower his wage-demands.

How much are Modrić and Kroos earning btw.? And to that players that proved everything already

Both are on 5,5 net. Though, I don't know where you heard the the 12 million Pogba wants are net?

 

[Barcaman]

It's everywhere. I think even presidential candidates said so

You can't blame the kid for sensing that lots of rich clubs are after him and he can play them for fools. The real subject here is our apparent stupidity. Pogba is a bright prospect with lots of weaponry in his arsenal, but is definitely not worth 12m net, nor an 80-90m transfer fee.

I would only take part in this transfer saga so as to maximize the cost for City/PSG/Chelsea that will eventually sign him.

But I get your point, if this had been another player, then accusations of greed would be all over the internet. I think it's down to PC.

Footballing standard, pretty similar, juventus are slightly better.

Juventus play in a better league and are a more prestigious club. I'd call that a step down.

Do you think players (unless homegrown) care one iota about history/prestige/league's history etc? No, only we discussing here really care about such things. The vast, vast majority of players only care about the size of wages, they will just pick the highest bidder.

 

[Catalan Fan]

Report from Italian press sayin Barca have agreed a fee of £64 for Pogba.

I thought Platini said UEFA is going to relax FFP a bit? No?
