http://www.football-italia.net/91902/new-problem-milan-takeover Berlusconi's selling to the Chinese Enron :lol2::lol2::lol2::lol2:

I can understand Allegri picking the midfield he did today. Sevilla were always going to A) press very hard and B) take it down to the trenches, so it makes sense to opt for a more physical midfield, rather than someone like Hernanes or Pjanic who are more likely to be caught out by the press...

As someone who is Scottish and doesn't support either, I can confirm they're both absolute scum, and The Rangers may actually be worse. Celtic are Inter: (paranoid and scummy) Rangers are Lazio: (racist and scummy) I may be being charitable to Celtic though, since I bet on them to lose 7-0...

Don't forget it was Allegri who wanted Matri at Milan. So really: Beppe steals Tevez from under Milan's noses, and sells them Matri to pay for it. Juve pull further ahead of Milan, partly inspired by Pirlo and Tevez. Milan sack Allegri and loan Matri out. Beppe brings them both to Turin...

Chat Inter get banged.

Great to see someone really pushing to join us, rather than pushing to leave...

I want to give @Cronios props for this mercato. He said he'd be happy if we could sell high and get a top striker, and he was as good as his word. Went from constant criticism of Beppe to defending him, takes a big person to do that on an internet forum. Being totally serious.

Not saying it won't happen, just that the "he wants to stay" quotes weren't made up. I think it's basically on, and PSG are just trying to squeeze an extra few million out of it. I doubt Beppe would give like 3 interviews saying he wanted Matuidi if he wasn't pretty sure it was happening.

Think the quote about him staying was from French media. http://www.footmercato.net/ligue1/transferts/psg-nasser-al-khelaifi-montre-les-crocs-pour-blaise-matuidi_185109 http://rmcsport.bfmtv.com/football/psg-al-khelaifi-annonce-que-matuidi-reste-1029742.html

Benatia + 1st Pjaca installment + Pjanic + 1st Higuain installment = €97m 1st Pogba installment is €52.5m, first Morata installment €15m so we've essentially spent €14.5m. Add in Isla's €4.5m and we've spent €10m this summer. Plenty left for a quality Pogba replacement. In Beppe We Trust. #IBWT

Those are € not £ there's no need for an exchange rate...

That's €105m - development fee, signing on fee, wages, etc. Net profit. The transfer fee is €105m + €5m.

It's on FI: http://www.football-italia.net/88964/pogba-thank-you-juventus

Don't think they'd say €105m plus €5m in the official statement if Raiola's fee was to come off that. It's an official statement and given its a publicly traded company, shareholders might be entitled to to wonder if €52.5m doesn't appear on the balance sheet for this year. It's €110m to us...

Wish him good luck (in that I hope he loses many Champions League finals to us) but I can't help but feel he's made a mistake. If Mourinho plays him in a holding role in his 4-2-3-1 then he'll fail. He's taken a step down. Thank you, Paul. Thank you for the money, Manchester United. Fino...

He's discovered that Manchester United have a release clause, which he will activate to take over the club and then loan Pogba back to us for free. He'll also bring David De Gea as Gigi's backup.

Benatia > Caceres Higuain > Morata Pjanic > Hernanes (assuming he leaves) Replacement midfielder(s) < Pogba Pjaca and Gabigol (assuming he arrives) are unknown quantities, at least to me, but certainly seem to be good prospects. All in all I think the squad will be stronger, depending on who...

If we already knew Pogba was leaving, I'm disappointed we didn't break the bank for Kanté. Doesn't score much, but he'd have given Pjanic a real platform to play.

No problem :lol:

Not going to sit here and claim "oh he's not that good anyway". But if Pogba does go for €120m, I'm not going to complain about it. Got him for free (development fee aside) sold him for €120m. Pjaca, Higuain, Benatia and Pjanic are already here. Haven't seen much of Gabigol, but there...
