Paul Pogba (114 Viewers)

Neymar is pretty well known around the world, the only question is how he will fare against proper defences


Pogba... I suppose people who followed france -21, man utd, and juve supporters that gave a damn about youngsters when we were linked knew about him.


I'm referring to for example verratti, but then in the attack. Pretty sure no one outside italy xcept dedicated juve fans knew about him before psg signed him

“My goal is to become the best player in the world,” he told L'Equipe. “But to do that I have to work hard. I want to take the place of Pirlo and prove that when he's not there, there's no difference between me and him.”


“My first game was great. Giorgio Chiellini said that I played really well, and so did some of the other players.”

Boss.

Chiello knows his shit.

Seeing the hype we are having around pogba, wich is justified in my opinion,


I wish we'd sign a young forward that would create a simular buzz...


I dont mean to be greedy, i'm just nostalgic to the buzz around young alex del piero

You were around or old enough for that?

 

[deggen10]

Not a big fan of these kinds of comments. I now have the feeling that if Madrid, PSG or someone comes with a big offer, we'll sell.

 

[Klovn]

Because of his comments?

I like that confidence

Every young player should have confidence... but publicly saying you want to send a current player into retirement is not good for team harmony and won't go down well in Italy.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Pirlo's not going to misinterpret his words like you.

 

[Fr3sh]

Man he didn't say that. We all know Pirlo will be around for maybe two more seasons max, the man is just saying that when Pirlo makes way he wants to be as good

 

[Salvatore]

I'm glad he wants to take Pirlo's place.

You should all be glad as well.

I was 8 back then, most people were drooling over the ajax team

Some dudes from the age cathegory above mine followed calcio on satallite dish and were talking about this big talent juve just signed.
I followed it in the scarce media of serie a we had, and the story's they told

Later that year we went to spain for football camp, on the bus we saw couple of video's of games, including 1 of juve. they also had this tape with a number of goals he scored, mostly ranged/fk.

Del Piero
I wish I had the chance of witnessing him at the top of his game. TBH 90% of the reason I love him is because of the man he is, hopefully we'll be blessed with more players that are as classy as him and Buffon

Lol wut?

 

[ALC]

Yeah, he didn't say that. Even though I wish he had. That's what we need. Someone better than Pirlo.

 

[Zacheryah]

he actually said that he wanted to take pirlo's spot when pirlo wasent there , and that no one would notice the diffrence

nothing wrong with desire to be as good as pirlo

 

[Linebreak]

This kid's getting way ahead of himself.

This. It's a good thing to hear.

Yep.
There could be a translation issue but if not, this isn't the kind of thing you say at a team like Juventus. We're not galacticos. Did you ever hear ADP say I'm the greatest Juventino ever or any other of our champions display anything but humility... or say they;re going to take a player's spot who hasn't announced retirement.

Technically, he may already be better than Pirlo* depending on the teams needs, but that's for the coach to decide, especially in Italy.

Personally, I think he's a merc, nothing wrong with that, just I don't think he's long term. More Zlatan, while Marrone is a Conte.
