Praise the Lord, Pogba is no Devil

[article=http://www.101greatgoals.com/blog/juventus-president-agnelli-admits-club-may-be-forced-to-sell-arsenal-target-pogba-in-the-event-of-huge-bid-guardian/]The Guardian produce quotes from Juve President today, speaking at the Leaders in Football conference on behalf of Serie A, with Agnelli admitting Juve would have to consider selling should a high bid be made for former Manchester United prodigy Paul Pogba.

Juventus are said to be close to agreeing fresh terms with Pogba, but president Agnelli admits if a huge bid came in they would not be able to keep hold of him, having reportedly turned down a bid from Arsenal in the summer.

“If I was to judge it from a footballers’ point of view, Italy is no longer the final destination but a transit destination.

“I am trying to think what will be of us in two or three years’ time if we get a massive offer for one of the best talents we have today, Pogba, the French 20-year-old.

“Would we be able to retain him? I don’t know. I don’t think at the moment we have the strength to retain such a player.

“Look at what happened to Milan. They had to give away Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva to pay the cheques.

“At the end of the day you can be attractive, but you also need to have the economic strength.”[/article]

Let's go all in for this lad then. He is going to be one of the best players in the world.

He is already amazing and quite unique too.

Plus it would be one in the eye for ManUre and, as an added bonus, just might make Ginsoak's head explode.

See you later Kristian. 😉

He would be incredible.

Pipe dream though

Why a pipe dream? LFC's stock is on the rise again. As usual I know fuck all about this guy but I'm liking everyone popping boners in his general direction (if you'll excuse the metaphor) 🙂

I couldn't see him going for us over Juve unless we got back into the CL. I think he's the type of signing that could get us at that level though

If we make top 4, I'd offer Juve 40 million for him and our 'central midfield' problems are done.

Did you go to the commoli school in the art of negotiating or something? He hasnt done enough to warrant that price.

He's the tits this lad - I remember posting that we should make a big play for him when he was still at Utd.

Viera mk II

He's ace. If we get into the CL then he's a possibility. If not there isnt a chance in hell.

According to reports in France he could be on his way to PSG.
If he does leave we should sign Matuidi

Matuidi's a good shout, but I'd be surprised if PSG were to sell him.

Dont know if he's signed a new contract yet, but his current one expires next summer.

Doesn't look like it, but I wouldn't be surprised to see an extension.

Apparently his agent is Mino Raiola, so it could be a challenge to agree terms.
