Paul Pogba (106 Viewers)

Are you guys forgetting that we gave Tevez the #10 and he stayed for all of two years? It doesn't mean Pogba will stay at all. A wage increase of 3m may mean more to him than a shirt number

it is apparent to me that this move means that any move for draxler and gotze are more or less dead in the water

Draxler was never going to take the 10.

Pogba asked for the 10.

 

[DeviAngel]

Well better let Pogba play the TQ than spending 30m on Draxler.

With the money get LB and CM.

Draxler was never going to take the 10.

Pogba asked for the 10.

Yeah, i'll follow Salvo here

Do some of you seriously have a problem with this?

With the departure of Tevez and Pirlo, Pogba is now THE talent and THE player to watch. Even if we do get Gotze, Draxler or some other young talent, it's Pogba that deserves this number the most.

This obviously true, just analyzing the timing of it and the spin and marketing it will have. Also as even a CM the number fits him. But if fit him a month ago too when we gave out the numbers to players and started selling the shirts.

All those suckers who bought Pogba #6

I don't have a problem with it, but it is almost like saying we won't buy a number 10 in terms of tactics.

he asked for the 10 thats shows intention of being here and desire to take the responsibility

such a @Lion thing to say

We'll see about that. It could also stroke the astronomical ego of the man with gold in his hair

 

[Xperd]

Why are people so sure that this move means he'll stay long term ?
Pogba is not stupid to reject 2x his current wage thrown at him.
The club has already hinted at that.
I just don't see him staying beyond next year.Will be genuinely taken by surprise if it happens.

In fact the club should provide refunds

 

[Hust]

But next season with all the money from his sale

Man I'm getting desperate, I tried to be an optimist, but the dark side is to strong...

Try harder.

I think there may be a disconnect between the notion of a #10 type player and one who actually wears that number.

To wear the #10 for Juventus doesn't necessarily mean that the player has to be a fantasista type. To me, it means more to the character of the player that is willing to take that responsibility of what the number means more than anything else. Is Pogba your prototypical #10? No, but neither was Tevez. I honestly believe that it has to do more with what the player believes he is capable of , being a leader on the pitch.

Gozte and to a lesser extent, Draxler have a playing style that may suit what the notion of a #10 should be, but that doesn't mean that one or the other are now totally out of the picture either, because neither one of them would have received it anyway.


If this is something that Pogba truly asked for, then I can't see how anyone could do anything but applaud this young man for being so willing to take this on his shoulders.


I stated several times in the past few weeks that I really feel that he believes that the squad is being built around him, and I think that he enjoys that. Is it better to be the 4th or 5th most recognizable player on Barcelona or Real Madrid, or the undisputed #1 player on Juventus?

That is something that only he can decide on.

I doubt they will, just like they won't refund those who bought season tickets the day before Vidal was sold

He asked and got given the Number 10 shirt to shut deluded people like you up and sweep under the carpet the fact that no top Trequartista is joining.

As if anyone is going to be such an utter cunt to do that

He would probably ask for a refund.
