Madrid may well take Pogba if they actually try since everyone knows uncle Flo has deep pockets and Pogba will easily choose RM over ManU

 

[cobby]

Madrid have pulled out of deal and pogba knows that juve will sell him to highest bidder , ed Woodward is crazy guy he ain't David Gill or neither our manager is sir Alex these two never spent crazy money and went after alternatives .Madrid can't spend more than ronaldo fee , or else ronaldo will have another breakdown he hasn't gone past the whole bale transfer fiasco.
Yes in past Madrid got bale despite Utd offering more money but that was Spurs , juve is big club they will only let him leave to highest bidder

imagine a club like man Utd without cl football breaking transfer records of Bpl and world , first Di Maria and now pogba , while Liverpool scrapping players from pound shop

Zidane has already said this >

[FONT=&quot]The Real Madrid coach, Zinedine Zidane, has said he is an [/FONT]

admirer of the Manchester United target Paul Pogba[FONT=&quot] but insists his own squad is “difficult to improve”.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]“I am happy with the squad I have got and it’s difficult to improve on it,” Zidane said. “Do I like Pogba? Of course, he’s a very good player and every club wants the best players but right now he’s at Juve and we have a large squad already.
[/FONT][FONT=&quot]“There are still lots of players yet to join up with the squad and with the Euros going on we couldn’t do anything. We have three games coming up and that’s the focus at the moment.”[/FONT]

So I am not too concerned regarding pogba going to Madrid

Also since Riaola flew to US today , where pogba is on vacation , I think this saga is coming to an end this weekend

Juventus has gone completely crazy. 94m for Higuain!! That's the kinda money you get Suarez or Ronaldo for not a fucking serial chokejob

its that pogba money man...burning a hole in their pocket

It just doesn't sink in. We got Suarez, Luis fucking Suarez, for less than that

Unfortunately not one of the player of Suarez's potential is available right now. Higuain scored 30 odd goals in the Serie A last season but that alone cannot justify the 94mil price tag.

On the other hand what Real Madrid are asking for Morata is crazy as well considering the fact that he only scored like 7 goals last season.

The market has gone bonkers.

If i remember correctly watford rejected a 38 mil bid for ighalo from a chinese club and they rate troy deeney at 40 mil :tv:

 

[cobby]

Market gone bonkers cause of China entering the business they are throwing away crazy money , plus English Clubs have crazy money cause of TV deals

Juve shuld have gone for Lewandoski that guy is better than gonzalo

Except Bayern don't need the money and would never sell him

 

[Behrox]

It's official boys, Juve gone loco. Signed Higuain for 94m triggering his release clause. Joke of the decade if not the century.

Not really. He set a record for most goals scored in Serie A in a single season. Unfortunately, the striker market is really, really limited. Why else do you think Arsenal haven't managed to sign a striker yet? The simple fact is that all of the top strikers are already at the biggest clubs (I mean the TOP 5 clubs in the world). I doubt Juventus would have managed to sign Suarez, Benzema, Lewandowski and so on for a similar fee or even managed to convince them to sign for them.

There may not be big name strikers, but there are certainly better strikers than Highline especially for the absolutely ridiculous price. Lacazette, Gameiro, etc from just the top of my head

Gameiro and Lacazette are not better strikers than Higuain. They are on the same level as Giroud. 20-25 goals a season strikers. The strikers I consider better than Higuain are Benzema, Lewandowski, Suarez, Aguero, Zlatan and Aubameyang. None of these strikers are cheaper than Higuain or willing to move to Napoli though. Hence, Napoli went for the best available option and they might have overpaid a little but in today's market, you can't get a striker of Higuain's level for a cheaper price. Just look at Everton holding out for 75 million euros for Lukaku who is nowhere near as good as Higuain.

Higuain went to Juventus from Napoli, not to Napoli. Gamerio has a better overall game than Higuain, as does Lacazette and IMO both compliment their current striker Dybala better than Higuain.

Good job nitpicking. Anyway, if you think both Gameiro and Lacazette have a better game than Higuain, you clearly need to watch more Serie A. Higuain is far above both of those players and has been since his Madrid days. Higuain is a serial bottler but Lacazette isn't really better at handling the nerves either. He has yet to score against any of the top 5 teams in the Ligue 1. Both Gameiro and Lacazette are pacy players who are great at running behind the defenses. Higuain is much better aerially and at hold-up play. He's also got good technique, certainly better than Lacazette. He's also a far more deadly goalscorer than either Lacazette or Gameiro.

Well to each his own. I'm not saying Higuain is a bad player, but for the price he's, to put it bluntly, not worth it IMO

Its happening

 

[Behrox]

Its happening

This deal if it happens along with the Higuain one really shows the level of inflation in the transfer market. Most of it can be attributed to the sugar daddies and the sheikhs
