Bertus. What did I tell you earlier today.
Don't know what happened, but he's been such a negative Nancy of late.
The only way we stand a chance of competing for players like Pogba, Laporte, etc. is if:
a) The club refuses to sell this summer. I could see Athletic holding out for the buyout and Laporte hasn't been nearly good enough this year to justify 42M + taxes. And Juventus will holdout for a sum in the region of a world record ~90M euros+ for Pogba, I guarantee it.
b) We manage to strike an agreement for a deal with the club and make a pre-contract with the player, with their club's consent. Both of these would go in to effect the winter transfer window. We'd probably end up having to pay a higher transfer fee and give better terms to the player, for this to work out though.
