Pato for 3 mil? Watch him flourish and be sold
For 20-30 mill.

I hope so. I'll always root for Pato for some reason. Probably because he was one of the first players I followed as a kid. Damn dude been around for a long time still fairly young as well

Edit: just checked and he's only 26?! wtf..thought he was like 29-30. Wow

it's cause Pato hit the scene outrageously young.

He's one of those sad "what if" players. What if team doctors let him heal properly when he was young? What if his fitness was handled correctly? Would be amazing to see what he would have become today....

 

[EddieDoyers]

Pato gonna flourish as long as he doesn't get injured

 

[Sinner]

Wow, 2-0 already?!

@SquawkaNews: OFFICIAL: Lyon confirm they have rejected Arsenal's €35m bid for Alexandre Lacazette.

How are you gonna try to lowball a bad team for their best player? Never change Arsene

Raiola is back in Italy today and will make contact with Juventus regarding Pogba deal to @Manutd [di marzio]

Hopefully we get some movement today...

@DavidAmoyal: With #Pogba moving closer to #ManchesterUnited #Juventus looks for his replacement: the names http://gianlucadimarzio.com/en/eng/...ventus-looking-for-his-replacement-the-names/

Some journos are saying that Raiola has promised Juve Matuidi if they sell Pogba

 

[jking0821]

Couple points...

A hypothetical moving of Kroos for Pogba would be stupid. Unload a #10.

To dude who asked, Morata was bought back and is in training with RM.

Although they won the CL, it could be argued RM were the 4th best team last year (BM, FCB, Atleti.) Complacency can set in and imo top teams need injections of electricity and life along with healthy competition to prevent it from happening. My gut told me last year that Chelsea needed an injection of something and they wound up being abysmal, and I've been on high alert with RM because I'm worried they can get complacent after the CL win. It's clear the board has been because at this point it's looked like the transfer ban has been in effect.

Agents have say in where there players go. It's naive to thing these money hungry cats can't do that. Saying that Pogba's agent can sway him in one direction isn't saying that he's mind controlling Pogba to do something he doesn't want to do though. It's just obviously extremely beneficial for Raiola to have Pogba go to MU this summer.

appreciate the feedback. I agree with you that they may need something. I put faith in CR. Chelsea didn't have a leader or a talisman like CR. That dude wants to win more than any one ive seen in modern football. But he does get complacent as well.

Had no clue everton were plotting on Witzel. Hopefully Arnautavic (sp?) flourishes. He has so much talent just needs to show it more constantly. But that is shaping up to be a nice team with him, Ross, Lukaku, Witzel, Deulofeu. If Morales can get back to form. I like the team

Hopefully, he takes Adnan on loan as well like it's been rumored

 

[Armada]

So Lyon posted this on twitter...Basically it says they rejected Arsenal's bid (35 mil) for Lacazette.

Although it doesn't say when that bid was rejected.

 

[heggsy]

Didn't West Ham bid more than that last month? How are Arsenal gonna go in with a lower bid than what's already been deemed not enough

 

[Kimchi Papi]

West Ham's bid for Laca was €40m (£31m) ...

Juve away kits looked nice...

 

[techno]

Bid from Arsenal was made earlier in the Summer



We also have Champions League footy where Laca could push for a move where he could cost than what West Ham bid...

 

[Armada]

Oh so it was a bid earlier in the summer that makes more sense. I wish I could sit in on these negotiations sometimes

Fair enough. Weird how it's took them this long to come out and say they rejected it.

They did the same thing for Sanchez. Bid lower than what Liverpool did but they had CL and London in their favor

Both of these transfers would make me so happy

 

[leavemeglazzies]

So Pogba wants to Real instead of United? At least in this case leaving Juve would be a step up and not down.

 

[zeroregret]

So it seems that the Pogba deal has stalled due to Raiola's fee... The nickel and diming continues...

 

[blackmomo]

If man u really want Pogba, they should pay the agents fee.

 

[rolaholic]

Only Spanish papers have been pushing that ,every other report says he's already agreed and Riola's fee is what's holding things up since Juve want Woody to pay the entire 20m+ even though it's in Pogba's contract that they'd pay a certain percentage of the fee if he got sold

The agents fee pushes the total price up to 130-140m :x

Do your thing, Raiola

I don't know much about Raiola but the way this situation shows me that he reminds me of Scott Boras

 

[rolaholic]

The Ari Gold/Rosenhaus of football it seems . Dude has taken up Mendes' spotlight this summer

Now it's just about official

‏@FabrizioRomano: Juventus is now paying Higuain's release clause to Napoli for €90M. Here we go. #transfers

Hopefully this moves things along in terms of Pogba,Juve need to quit being greedy

 

[eiddyfouw]

He's actually a nightmare to deal with from the buying clubs side. From the players side, he's great.....sort of. He'll do anything to ensure you get the largest payday (making sure he's sorted too obviously). He's also known for using the press to drum up the price of players. He'll always be quoted mentioning a player wants out. In a way again it's great for the player because the player can stay silent and go about his business but have his agent look like the tool.

I can't remember the story now, but I'm so sure I remember him reading even signing his players to new clubs without them even really knowing

 

[Kimchi Papi]

I wonder if Pogba sees the club paying money to get a striker regardless of if he stays or not & wants to stay another year to make a run at the CL...

Edit - AS (taken with a grain of salt) is reporting Pogba was to have a United medical this morning but it was cancelled by Raiola & that Pogba will return to training with Juve on Aug 7th.
