On the discussion about the fee, a player is worth what a club is willing to pay its as simple as that. You cant equate footballing ability with his value there is too many variables. Is he actually worth this much as a player? no fecking way obviously, we DESPERATELY need a player like him, have a lot of money, the market is massively grossly inflated, there was other clubs and Juve dont want to sell. He would also be massive as a world record fee marketing tool and Woodward knows this.

I remember the same discussion about the insane fees with Martial too and you lot was having a right go, yet said almost nothing when Bayern did the same thing with Sanches, i get the feeling there is some of that involved here too.

Edit: £35 million fecking pound for Moussa Sissoko. Tells you all you need to know about the market.

That's true [MENTION=19985]Marchisio8[/MENTION] but Juve bought Pirlo, Vidal, Pogba.. all on cheap. Juve will find a solid replacement.
Besides, Pogba is overrated anyway, you'll be fine.

Its a strange time we live in, when a midfielder will be the most expensive player in the world. Before, only forwards and strikers would go for the very highest bids. There are exceptions ofc, like Kaka, but he was still more of a attacker than midfielder, in a sense.

Moussa actually had a better Euro than Pogba

Zidane hold the record for 8 years.

Good job you dont rate a player on a tournament then isn't it. I remember one good game from him too maybe im wrong. He did feck all for a relegated Newcastle all season so no wonder he had the energy to run about, he would have been a £10m player akin to someone like Shelvey which is the point.

Last night his barber posted a picture of him changing his hair 'to suit his new colours at Manchester United', the media went mental, and then the image was quickly deleted.

Wut? The barber tweet I saw just said something along the lines of changing the colors to match his new team. It didn't say anything about Man Utd.
