I've missed you, Monco. 
Good to see you back.
Good to see you back.
I've missed you too, buddy. I was actually lurking around the past few months, even wanted to post something a couple of times, but that dolphin craze shit was at its peak at the time, so I decided to get the fuck out of here and return later. It seems like the situation is under control now, so I'll probably stay here for a while.
A great article with interesting info on Pogba

“My objective was always to play games,” he said. “Alex Ferguson told me my time was going to come. But it never came. Serie A provides a schooling in football, above all from a tactical point of view. A central midfielder educated in Italy can aspire to become the best in the world in his position. I told myself: 'Paul, Italy is the best place for you to show how good you can be.’ And then Juve, one of the biggest clubs in the world, contacted me.
“I’m still a nobody. What have I achieved in my career? Nothing, nothing at all. I look around at Juve and see Andrea Pirlo, Gianluigi Buffon, and I’m learning from true champions.
“Those two players have won everything, and yet they keep competing, even in training. Pirlo, Claudio Marchisio and Arturo Vidal are my reference points. At each training session I try and learn something new from those guys. I try and take on Claudio’s technique, or Arturo’s aggression, or the brilliant passing abilities of Andrea.”
Grande Paul.
Oh how I wish you were here back then to see the fight I had to put up, being what seemed like the lone voice of dissent in regards to that transfer.

The player offered a different version of events, his priority apparently less financial – the contract on offer in Turin was considerably more than anything proposed at Old Trafford – and more about an education.
