:p

Yeah. I mean, I definitely have a tendency to overrate our players, and underrate others. It's fun to bash other teams top players and laugh when they fail. Part of being a fan I suppose.

However, I did say to @Hist multiple times that I would love Higuain here, and think he would do even better in this environment, over the course of the last 1.5 seasons. Didn't stop me from bashing him and laughing when he choked, but I could still recognize even so, what an amazing player he is.

The Morata > Higuain stuff was always trolling. And emotions speaking while watching him score in CL.

I still think Pogba was the "best-performing" CM in football over the last 2-3 months of the season... but there is a difference between saying that, and saying he's the best CM in football. One 2-3 month spell at the top doesn't make him the best, especially after the trash Euros he had, even if he was played out of position. He's definitely top 5-6 CMs in football already, which is damn impressive for a 23 year old.
:D

:boh:

Maybe nothing is done,they are trolling the papers...
Nah he is gone and we are in the mid of a media circus to appease adidas.

meaning the player will be sold and it's just a fight who announce it first.

fecker
yes. Is done dealio most likely because I dont think juventus would take part in this just to have some fun with adidas at the expense of the fans.

I'm amused by the amount of hate Pogba has been getting from some members recently. :D

Straight from love to hate :disagree:
Deserves all the flack. Tormenting fans to promote an adidas campaign about his transfer was a low blow.

Yeah, I think he's gone. If everything was a lie, he would still be promoted by our team, which he now isn't.
Juventus is ignoring all pogba related. I dont know who was the bigh fish behind all of this, but this guys have huge power to toy with everyone this way

Ok so not sure if anybody noticed all of these clues in adidas marketing campaign, but I'll just state them here.

- Obviously, Raiola tweeted out that there is no agreement, lot's of blah blah blah. [video=twitter;756087499546591233]https://twitter.com/MinoRaiola/status/756087499546591233[/video]

- Adidas respond buy uploading a video where pogba has 3 stars shaved in his head, and a big Blah over the Man U logo.



- Pogba today uploaded and Instagram picture with the caption "Focus", and Adidas then says in Juve's tweet that they are "Focused" on adding new trophies. Also to be noted that the commentator in the juve ad can be heard saying in Italian if Pogba is worth all of this money.

We also need to remember how out of place he was when he din't have Marchisio playing alongside him. Pure crap in some games.

This is not coping mechanism , this is just plain truth. Pogba had an unreal 2-3 month period during the fag end of the season but he was mostly hit and miss before.

He doesn't have the consistency of other WC experienced mid fielders yet to be called the best. It's ridiculous. Basically people falling for talent and hype.

Heck he hasn't even had a season as good as Dybala had in his entire Juve spell.

It was no surprise to see him flop in the EURO's really because he was receiving a lot of unwarranted hype and still is. He is not that good yet. He doesn't influence games the same way other top midfielders do consistently.

I've always wanted to say this. What we will lose in Pogba is his marketability and his future potential but for now, we should be absolutely fine. People think he's Cristiano of midfielders or something ffs. Even Cristiano was light years ahead of him in consistency at the same age.
:agree:

Cristiano led ManU to a CL title and won the Ballon d'Or at 23. Scored 42 goals that season. 8 goals in 11 CL games.

Pogba, meanwhile was injured for our entire CL Final run in 2015... Played like shit for France at Euros. And has only ever shone in Serie A so far... and apart from the final 2-3 months of this past season has never been close to being our best player. He was never even a top 3 player on our team before this season.

How can he already be the best CM in football because of one single stretch this year, when we were already out of the CL and had already played the 2nd and 3rd placed teams in the league. FFS, over the course of this past season he wasn't even our best player... Dybala. I'd place Bonucci over him in terms of best players of last season too.

I don't $#@!ing care. We are talking about our key player and biggest marketing asset vs a guy who we just signed. You guys make it seem like we just signed the 2nd coming of Zidane or something ffs! All those goals he scored resulted in his country and club winning numerous titles, right? He was the main man @ Napoli last season. That much is true. I'd argue that Hamsik was more important for them the season before that, and he was never the focal point at Madrid. Granted he scores a lot, he is not a top tier superstar, whereas Pogba has the potential to be.
Marketing asset. There it is again. Nothing makes a club more marketable than winning the most watched games in the world playing entertaining football.

We have Dybala who's younger, more handsome and more humble than Pogba. He reminds me of Del Piero. Who is a big reason a lot of fans fell in love with Juve. Del Piero didn't need to individualize himself by being flash on social media, his feet always did the talking. Pirlo is another good example this.

Juve haven't had a strike partnership like this since Trezeguet and Del Piero. Think about all we achieved without two truly world class strikers. Then factor in that Pjanic had similar numbers to Pogba last season and that we might add another great midfielder. I understand the gripe with Higuain to a degree but how can you really believe that he will let us down in such a great team? He definitely didn't lose Napoli the scudetto last season and Pogba probably didn't win Juve the scudetto last season.

This team would easily beat Man United with or without Pogba.
Don't even want to think what we'd do with our starting XI....
