Paul Pogba

Juventus player Paul Pogba (22) told Messi at the Ballon d'Or gala on Monday that he wants to play with him at Barcelona. [md]

Let him go to the EPL ! Top clubs actually can afford him and that little shit of an agent isn't known to favor the lower offer.

I'd also be the happiest if he went to some EPL club. He's too much of a risk for me to want him in Barca or RM. He could turn out to be godlike for Barca or shit for us.

Or shit for us. There is no room for him, unless we plan to ship out S.Roberto in the summer.

Don't get your hopes up. Plus, they won't sell him for anything less than 100m, which we can't afford, not to mention his salary demand.

The French midfielder is focused on Juventus at the moment, but says wants to be better than Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in the future

Paul Pogba has denied he wants to join Barcelona, but spoke of his desire to one day surpass Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Juventus midfielder was named in the 2015 FIFPro World XI after helping the Serie A outfit win the Scudetto, Coppa Italia, and reach the Champions League final.

Pogba was present in Zurich on Monday as Messi won a record fifth Ballon d'Or crown, finishing in front of Real Madrid's Ronaldo.

The 22-year-old said a goal of his is to finish ahead of the two in the future, but claimed he's never said he wanted to sign for Barca.


"I've never said that," he told reporters in Zurich. "Right now I am playing with Juventus."

On his lofty ambitions, he continued: "Maybe one day I can be among the three finalists. My biggest goal is to win the Ballon d'Or, but there are a lot of other candidates.

"I used to watch Messi and Ronaldo on TV and played with them on the Playstation - now I am close to them.

"But my objective is not just to be close to them, I want to be better than them one day. It is all about putting in the work. I have to keep working hard and maybe I will get there."

 

[Barcaman]

I bet he thinks he's rightfully in that "best 11" too.

 

[MaxY]

Well his ego seems worse than Cristiano's. He's "close" to Ronaldo and Messi? How arrogant can you get..

 

[serghei]

He wants to be better than Messi. Funniest thing I've read in the new year so far.

 

[bastardo]

The quote is more of him saying that he WANTS to get better. Seriously, people here hate him as if he has a history of biting or headbutting people.

Yeah, I am not a fan of Pogba's (not yet at least) at all but I don't see anything wrong with what he said above. Challenging yourself to be better and trying to catch up with the best should be applauded.

As to "I am close to them", I think something was probably lost in translation. I think he was saying that in the sense that he is playing on the same pitch with/against Messi and Ronaldo and other great players instead of watching them on TV and playing them in video games. Nothing wrong with that.

I also want to be better than Messi

But there's hope for Pogba of course, on Instagram.

Don't see anything wrong with "the ballon d'or is my biggest goal ? "

Come on, the kid is fucked up. He will never be a disciplined midfielder like rakitic or as good as iniesta is linking up and moving forward.

 

[Barcaman]

He has best haircuts though

Isn't it every player individual biggest goal?

No he won't be as disciplined as Raki, not his job and why not play him to his strenghts? It's like someone would say "Messi will never be as disciplined as Henrik Larsson". And comparing him to Iniesta, the best CM/AM of the last 10 years, is also unfair.
Anyway, I just don't get the hate towards Pogba. Kid is ambitous and has crazy talent. Would he be a fit in Barca? Not sure. Does he have a scumbag agent? Yes. Will he cost shitloads of moneyz. Most probably.
