Man City Survives FIFA Penalty Transfer Sanctions.
Manchester City survived the ban on the transfer of FIFA players after only receiving a fine of 315 thousand pounds. With this payment of a fine, Manchester City will have the freedom to recruit the players they need in the mid-season window in January.

it is quite difficult for a club to sell players who are loved by many fans to bring in new players, I hope this season the transfer of Juventus is final and there is no need to bring in more players. but for next year I hope Pogba will become a Juventus player.

Well Everyone needs him if they can sell other players.

In real Barca or Juve, he will be better than actual players so he will be needed on every team.

For example neither Messi is needed at Real but if he will go he will play and they sell another one, even hazard for him

In fact,  let's be honest,  just a few clubs can afford him right now.
Real and Barcelona already spent a lot and can't buy new players,  Juve don't need him and if he don't want to go to China and retire there,  he have no choice but to stay in ManU.

This is a false statement.

In Italy, we have a new law for workers from other countries, where they need to pay taxes only on 50% of the salary.

For a faster understanding

Pogba now takes € 17.071.600,00, if Juventus wants to pay him the same amount he will cost "only" 17+25%(17)= 21.25m with taxes (same as DeLigt 12+25%(12)=16)

Dybala for example now takes 7.5m with the full taxes, that's mean 7.5+7=14.5 with taxes, not os big difference.

Again the problem is to sell other players before trying to take him.

I think Pogba needs 1 more season to be able to move from Manchester United and join Juventus or Real Madrid, the health of the club financially to buy him will have a bad impact because the price is too expensive and the fees are quite expensive.

After seeing yesterday's match for UEFA Champions league round 3 between Ajax and PAOK, I think that van der Beek needs to get a transfer to another club.
This player has a lot of skills and he is talented.
I wonder why he didn't get any offer from big clubs during the transfer window.

He will stay in ManUTD for sure. Real Madrid hasn't enough money for Pogba's transfer. I mean, they must sell because of FFP, but they have so "expensive" players, which no one wants to buy. Juventus can't buy Pogba and can't give them a salary as they have in ManU. At the moment, United does not need to sell them, also they need to have a big star in the club to keep the reputation and satisfied sponsors (just marketing potential). You can remember the last few signings. Di Maria, Falcao, Ibrahimovic, Sanchez, Mourinho etc ...

That is a good formation but I don't see it working with this Barcelona line up. At least 2 from 3 attacking midfielders have to help in defensive phase and I believe only Griezman would do that. In modern football I don't think any team or formation can cover up for more than 2 players. Add to that the fact that Alba will also be in the opponents half all the time and you have a problem. Barca needs that left attacking mid/winger, position which would probably fall to Neymar to cover for Alba and that will simply not happen.

That's the beauty of 4-2-3-1 IMO, despite imposing more defensive responsibilities on the team generally, 2 players in defensive midfield position would likely cover up the tracks, Busquet and De Jong would do, the only vulnerability I see is that the 3 Attacking Midfielders would have more work load as well and the striker could get isolated upfront more often than not.

Never look at Bookmakers odds.

Never.

The odds are based on bets from people, the value is adjusted on the volume of bets on one bet to permit the booke to pay players.

For example on the Guardiola Saga at Juventus here in Italy we had one week with Guardiola at 1.1 and the following with Sarri at 1.1 even one week with Mou near 1.5.

It only depends where people bet, the more they bet on one side (cause they listen to rumors) more the bet will go down.



We have 2 lines of thinking here.

1 They can still have Pogba (or Neymar) if they can sell Dybala for cash to PSG or other.

From Dybala they can get 70M, they also want to sell Matuidi to PSG for 15-20m. They "only" need to add 50M€ to be even on the market.

(idk how others team can spend how much they want without the financial fairplay, it seems to be active only in Italy, Barca is at -100M for now and RMadrid at -188)

2 The market for Juventus for new players is over, we got an "insider rumor today" where ManU is very pissed with Juventus and Raiola for the tentative of a deal for Pogba, they are pissed for the Lukaku-Dybala thing and for the missed deal with Mandzukic.
For Mandzukic was done in the evening for around 15M €, the following morning Mario called them and said No Thankyou.

For these reasons, they seem unlikely open to selling Pogba at Juventus.


Beside the point 2, we have other rumors for Real Madrid here in Italy.
They can maybe offer 160M € for Pogba.

Well, this can mean only 1 thing, they call themselves out from Neymar (I think they cannot take both of them).


My personal thought about Pogba.

He wants Juventus, he wants to leave from ManU but I'm not sure if Juventus can pay the operation, they can but they need to sell before.

He is doing on Instagram the same (reversed) things he was doing when he was on Juventus before leaving for Manchester.
Back in days, he started posting photo stories and videos about him wearing rec cloths, now look at his Instagram and he is doing the same thing posting white an black things.

Those are the latest 2 stories now deleted.



And a lot more on the last 2 months








Pogba will cost around 150M€ (Juventus is even this market session, Real is at -188 and if they take Pogba they will go ~ -340M).

If Pogba will come to Juventus they need to sell Pjanic ~70m or EmreCan ~50m.

Pogba will cost for Juventus a salary of 12+25(12) 15M/y with taxes

If Pogba will go to Real they will go at ~340 and they need to sell at least ISCO ~80m Mordric ~20 and maybe one more.

Pogba will cost for Real a salary of 12+~12 24M/y with taxes


So if they want they theoretically give to him 19M/y to spend 24M (with taxes) as Real.

What do I think?

He wants Juve, Juve can economically have him if they sell Dybala, ManU can Hate Juve for what happened with Dybala.
Man U have not a top player replacement.

And he will stay at ManU.

Where is Neymar?
Neymar Always the hottest topic in the 2019 summer transfer window. Neymar was previously rumored to Juventus, Real Madrid and back again to Barcelona. And now Barcelona is getting serious about bringing Neymar to the transfer market this summer by sending club representatives to fly to Paris. This is really very confusing, where is Neymar anchored?

That line up looks frightening at first glance but who will help the defense? That is perfect line up for breaking scared opponents but someone like Atletico Madrid, a team which can defend and be dangerous on counter attacks would tear them apart. There is way to much finesse in that team and way too little real fighters.

That means Barcelona is heading for another "fantastic four" era ? It is to be seen if Messi will play behind Suarez and Griezmann on the right or vice versa. I'll be expecting Valverde to deploy a 4-2-1-3 or 4-2-3-1 formation, but either ways, I think Barcelona possession game could reduce a bit, and it's probably going to be a more attack-minded approach.

Lol...  Only an idiot would think Griezmann wouldn't be played.  But what does Barca getting Neymar mean for him?  Right wing?  What was he used as during friendlies?

And on Pogba, heh...  It would sure be dumb keeping a highly paid but unhappy player downing tools too.

Spot on. It will be a huge loss if they sell Pogba, especially with Lukaku already gone.

They'll need Pogba if they want to stay competitive and get a Champions League spot for next year. It would be a blunder if they weaken their attacking power after they tried to fix their defensive side.

Not much, I mean, Barcelona didn't spend €120M to have him on the bench...right? If the Neymar deal goes through, I believe the lineup will be something like:

        --Suarez--
Neymar-Messi-Griezmann

(that's a scary lineup)With Dembelé as the main sub rotating one of them every week.

Some bookies (bet365, skybet) no longer have Pogba on their sites, some others have Pogba to Juve @2.58 and above.

@coinlocket$ probably has more info about this transfer saga, but IMO I think Pogba will stay in Manchester, why would Ed Woodward and Solskjaer want to sell Pogba now that the transfer window is closed? They'd have to pretty damn stupid to weaken the squad by selling him :/

^  Hmmm...  What does that mean for Antoine Griezmann?  It looks like it's gonna cut Barca's odds at the CL if the transfer does happen.

Edit:  And what are the chances Juve gets Pogba?

And Bayern just made it official: https://twitter.com/FCBayern/status/1161200610689081344

Good signing for them, they have way too many youngters, about time they signed someone with experience.

Guy in the picture is definitely Eric Abidal (Barcelona's director of football), look at his head lol 

Btw, Neymar to Barcelona /odds/ @1.38...I think it's happening! And Coutinho (part of the swap deal + cash) to PSG /odds/ @2.50 

I agree. Bayern has made its cycle with the current players.
If they need to target high goals such as Champions League they need to sign new talents for their first team.
Also some experienced players would be vital. Bale would be a good addition but this transfer is only in rumors stage.
