Cruel Summer? - The Summer Transfer Rumor thread

I was disappointed to see him go away from the 4-3-1-2 (4-1-2-1-2) he utilized a few times. Our team as presently constituted has good players to fill that formation:

-----------------------------BUFFON---------------------

LICHT----BARZAGLI--CHIELLO----CACERES/OGBONNA

---------------------------PIRLO----------------------------------

------------VIDAL---------------------------MARCHISIO

-------------------------POGBA------------------------------

-------LLORENTE------------------TEVEZ----------------

 

^ That would be amazing! especially in CL

 

I didn't think of it. He had used it before, and he went away from it for whatever reason.

 

Well, you could also add Padoin to the mix which would give you two central MF options off the bench.

 

i think he changed cuz of the forwards and pogba wasnt as good yet and we didnt have enough depth in defense as we do now (ogbonna, caceres, peluso...)

 

Who?

 

i heard latest on Pogba's renewal is Raiola wants a minimum buy out clause ?

does that mean he's trying to set a price someone can just pay and get him?? this would be foolish if we do, we should not set a price, rather let the potential buyers go as high as the sky.

if zidane was worth 70 mil over 10 years ago, with todays money and inflated prices and how much younger Pogba is (zidane was what 26/27 when we sold him?) his price tag should be at least double that. I still stand with not selling Pogba for any price, but if we do, it better be an all time record of 150 mil or something. That would be the only way we would be able to profit out of this.

 

there u go. more reasons his price tag should A LOT higher...he's barely 21


ideally we should keep him 3 more years and we can STILL sell him for even more $ cuz by then he would achieve more championships, maybe do good with france in world cup and who know ballon d'or ? that would be our rebuilding money when our current players are old

 

Here we go.....everyone can calm down

Juventus chief executive Beppe Marotta believes that Paul Pogba could remain with the club for years to come, amid claims that talks with Paris Saint Germain have started.

Pogba's future is constantly in question with a host of Europe's top clubs believed to be chasing the French midfield starlet.

And reports in Italy have claimed that Juve president Andrea Agnelli has met with PSG counterpart Nasser Al Khelaifi in recent days.

But Juve have never wavered from their stance that Pogba will sign a new deal with them, and Agnelli himself has stated his belief that the club cannot sell the player.

Asked about Pogba after Juve's win over Fiorentina on Sunday, Marotta said: "Pogba is a player of immense value.

"From our side there is the pride to have him and we have had relationships with anyone. He grew here and I think this is his ideal habitat.

"He could remain as a Bianconeri player for many years."

Pogba's agent, Mino Raiola, dismissed the speculation linking the former Manchester United youngster with a summer move.

"Jewels are not for sale, except if the player asks to leave," Raiola told Radio Dee Jay, adding that a new deal was not really on their agenda either.

"Renewal? Why? He has a big contract with Juventus," he said, with Pogba still having two years left on his current contract.

"Nobody has called me and I know nothing about a negotiation with PSG. And the same is for Real Madrid and Barcelona.

"It's clear, it's like if tomorrow someone would want to sell the Mona Lisa, it's not that we would have a problem in finding a place. But, I repeat, nobody spoke with me, and we are concentrated about Juventus.

"I'm still convinced that Pogba made the right choice in going to Juve."

 

I forgot that we also own Simone Zaza, another striker who is doing relatively well.

 

RVP out for season, proving once again how shrewd Beppe was not to throw money at the world's second-most fragile striker. (Or the MOST fragile one.) Lot of idiot fans were calling for Juve to buy Rossi, buy RVP. Thank goodness actual thinking adults run the club's transfer dealings.

 

Other than his long, long record of having such injuries, you're right, it would have been totally unpredictable.

 

This is just dumb. Last year, RVP scored 30 goals in 48 appearances. This season, 17 in 25. In his eight seasons at Arsenal, only twice did he fail to appear in less than 30 games; meanwhile he bagged 132 goals. The guy has been one of the best strikers in the world for a decade. He has some history of injury; however, he is more than worth it when you look at his contribution on the pitch.

 

So Immobile is the top scorer in the league as of today. He's worth about 12m I would say but he's 24 years old. Bring him back or sell him? I'm thinking he could be sold for as much as 15m, is Juve going to shell out 6-8m?
