The guy is a fraud now tbh

Man U fans worship him though particularly the ones from RatCafe

Real back in it for Pogba?

true i'm glad we're tackling our aging problem but still seems like an unnecessary buy.

Has anyone actually seen this Gomes lad play? can't say i have so i don't what the reasons why everyone seems to think he's bang average

If Real make a big sale in the next few weeks, I think he'll go there.

Imagine City funding Pogba deal by buying Kroos off them

he seemed to of had an average euro's? and meh second half of the season

but he's still young i think that's why his transfer fee is so high, more for the potential

He didn't look particularly good at all for Portugal. Didn't stand out one bit. But I don't get paid to scout players, so maybe he'll turn out great. Can't remember him playing well for Valencia, only remember Parejo from this past season.

Don't want to judge people on international tournaments tbh, they rarely translate to a whole season and the ones who perform usually follow it up by being nobodies the whole season.

it's hard to judge a player in valencia last season as-well.
the whole team was going through some crazy sht with managers etc.

Yeah, agreed. Horrid year for them.

In other news Barca being in money troubles was once again complete bollocks

Well i never

Btw why did Barcastuff twitter account get suspended ?

don't know, all i know is they initially got suspended for playing a clip of messi scoring in the copa america and univision television got them suspended, after that other shit i don't understand happened something about being hacked

the person running the twitter gave up in the end.

so Gameiro is going to sign for Atletico Madrid

Interesting

also if you guys do end up paying 94m for Higuain it makes our Pogba deal look like peanuts

Higuain was a far far better and bigger player than Pogba last season

True. We haven't actually seen a lot of him, as he couldn't get into the Portgual NT first 11

Judging people for one NT tournament is bad. But judging him for not even cracking the starting XI in the first place is justifiable imo.

Fair enough lol, I haven't seen any of him so I wondered.

Barca needed someone like him though. Their midfield gets found out when MSN doesn't perform. At least he can transit faster than busquets, Iniesta and Rakitic lol

Higuain POTY, Paul Pogba a distant second

Disagee, Higuain is barely 6 ft tall

Paul Pogba is no Felipe Anderson that's for sure.

Yeah I'm sure he's good.

I didn't like him at all for Portugal the couple of games I saw him, thought he was weak and ineffective, and Portugal's coach appeared to agree as he benched him after couple of games.

But again, there's no reason to assue he#s not very good.

He did begin the tournament as a starter but then was eventually displaced. I read, like Pogba, he was played somewhat out of position. I watched all of Portugal's games, as a lifetime fan, and when he featured he showed flashes of decent skill offensively. He had some decent dribbles and through balls and he can actually cross the ball. But he doesn't involve himself in the game as much as he probably should and despite an impressive build he seems like a soft player.

He reminds me of a young Marchisio when he was playing out wide at the start of his Juventus career, similar skill set

Honestly, I'm really glad we didn't sign him. Marca was reporting we were very close to signing him and I got really scared.

I'm sure he must be talented enough, otherwise, he wouldn't have attracted all these big clubs (if rumors are to be believed). But I'm glad we didn't sign him.

This all goes to show that nobody knows anything and that all these news outlets are just printing lies for clicks.

If you make one, two or even three inaccurate transfer predictions, I can let it slide. But if you keep on doing it constantly, you'll lose your credibility as far as I'm concered.

Seriously who's reliable now? I can't think of anybody.
