Pazzini has released his first words after doing the medical: "I am very happy, I knew all day yesterday and I am very happy."

Teased with the possibility of being the new Inzaghi he said: "we'll see". About his chance of playing on Sunday: "Now I'm doing the medical and then we'll see, however, I'm very happy."

I dunno man but I hope he's very happy LOL

I just don't underatand why City are interested in Sinclair. Hes a decent player but he won't be a regular starter. He'll be Johnson all over again.

Maybe they want him because he'll bitch less about being a bench warmer.

I think half the issue with AJ is his attitude.

He's a positive minded, hard worker and he will be much lighter on the wage bill than Johnson, yet offers about the same quality.

Now watch as Liverpool buys Johnson. =/

Whoa United GAF. Gimme a low down on these Zouma rumours. He's a beast in FM.


Buuuuuut he's not a CM :/

He's a young boy and hes still growing, he's going to be a beast. We're not sure where he's going to end up playing but the boy's got tremendous ability, NQAT.

Frogson.

Does Johnson have an attitude problem? Can't say I've read any stories about that.

Pogba on why he left.

Paul Pogba has revealed why he decided to leave Manchester United for Juventus this summer.

The teenager quit the Old Trafford outfit at the end of his contract in order to team up with the new Italian champions.

“I don't regret anything about my decision,” he told L’Equipe. “I learnt a lot at United, but you have to be part of it to understand my choice. It is a feeling I had with Coach Sir Alex Ferguson.

“The Coach trusted me, but he didn't play me, saying I was too young. He said my time will come but it never did.

“Despite his 25-year career and despite the fact he was the boss, my objective was to play football and I am impatient.

“Now I want to become a regular starter and become one of the best players in the world.

“To achieve that, there is only hard work and I learnt that alongside the great players at Manchester United.”

Pogba, though, may also find it difficult to break into a Juventus midfield which houses Andrea Pirlo, Arturo Vidal, Andrea Pirlo and Kwadwo Asamoah.

“I didn't go to Juve because I knew I would be part of the starting XI,” he continued. “I have no guarantees from them.

“The Coach told me there are a lot of matches to play and he wanted a substitute for Pirlo and Vidal. He didn't tell me you will play X number of matches.”

Pogba also responded to claims made by Ferguson that he lacked respect by turning his back on the Premiership outfit.

“I don't know why he said what he did,” Pogba noted. “A 19-year-old who said no to Ferguson – maybe he took it badly?

“There were things that we failed to agree on.”

Okay, read this instead.

Whenever Mancini is asked about him you get this.

"Adam is a good player but he must work harder for the team."

Every time.

He doesn't track back to defend. And in my eyes he doesn't give 100% for the duration he's on the pitch. If something doesn't go his way he sulks and goes anonymous.

Zouma will sign for City, struggle to break into the first team and then get loaned out to a second division French side.

I knew we should have invested in cloning technology, GODDAMN IT JUVE!!!!!!!!

We call Marchisio 'Andrea Pirlo', because he was free as well.

 

[dc89]

Also on Johnson.

It's not like Mancini didn't believe in him. He was Mancini's first signing (or was Vieira?) and he was handed a new 5 year deal not so long back.

 

[PJX]

That is very mesmerizing.

 

[Wes]

Norwich have signed Sebastian Bassong

Good for Norwich.

 

[dc89]

Bolton are interested in Jay Spearing?

 

[confuziz]

Douglas is probably going to Fulham, Newcastle is still interested but they need to hurry according to the agent of Douglas.

What do you call Quagliarella?

Llorente ;o

Pogba on why he left.

I posted this two pages ago:

Sure, he was great. But how do you know Pogba wouldn't have been just as great? He was never given a chance to prove himself even when we were so utterly desperate for cover in central midfield in the middle of last season. As a young promising player, seeing something like that would definitely be disheartening. And then just a month or two later, we see a veteran 38yo legend come back to occupy the spot on the first team that someone like Pogba would covert. Of course, we'd be lucky to hang on to our youth talents.

We had absolutely nothing to lose by giving Pogba a couple of starts in the middle of last season before Scholes came back. Shit was absolutely dire in our midfield and yet Ferguson didn't deem Pogda deserving of a shot. And Ferguson claims that he had learned his lesson when Pique left.

 

[fadetoblack]

Poooooooogbaaaaaaa

He's amazing. Yeah he won't be "starting 11" (Conte has said he doesn't have an 11 instead he picks whoever is in form) but given the absolute fucking class he's showing in preseason I wouldn't be surprised if he gets 30 games (subs and starts) between Champions, Serie A, and Coppa.

-

Quagliarella is still being shopped to the Milans but has said he'd prefer to stay at Juventus. From where I'm standing, the only good deal out there was a swap for Pazzini and Inter took, frankly, the better deal in Cassano and cash. Now that that option is out of the way, I think we keep Quagliarella on for another year and give him some run outs, see what happens, then sell him a year on when the mercato loosens up a bit and other players become available. Unless we get good money for him now, in which case we sell and keep the money in reserve for Jovetic.

 

[Arnie]

Hmm, his whole demeanor on match day was very reassuring to me. He was relaxed, smiling and confident, the training gear was a good idea. When he was at Chelsea he seemed like an uptight wanker even before things went to shit.

I agree with that, and didn't look to take defeat badly at all, which is something he's perhaps been guilty of at Chelsea.

Another day of transfer muppetry; Sahin should sign for Arsenal today.

A fit Iaquinta

 

[K1LLER7]

A fit Iaquinta

A sad Berbatov

 

[fadetoblack]

Iaquinta is our top striker. BELIEVE.

Edit: Wait, Tottenham need a striker... Iaquinta would fit in well there. He's actually better than decent if he's fit. A big if, but yeah... €2m and he's yours.

 

[Yurt]

A sad Berbatov

Nah, he's pretty happy actually.

A clingy Berbatov?

I wish the PL never lost this man

 

[fadetoblack]

In an ideal world, we'll meet in the Champions League and Pogba will start, setting up a goal and knocking one in himself at Old Trafford.

 

[Salvadora]

Arsenal will not sign a like-for-like replacement for Alex Song - because Arsene Wenger is so convinced Jack Wilshere is on his way back.

Ahhhh fuck sake.
That's from the Mirror btw.

 

[Ushojax]

I told you Diaby and Wilshere would be your 'new signings'.

Is Pogba over 6 ft tall?

Then cross the ball to him for 90 minutes.

 

[fadetoblack]

We non-Yurt-Juve-GAF need to make up for his cheerful demeanour with pure grinta--determination, grit etc. Call it good cop, bad cop.

Pogba will cross the ball to himself and score. That's how good he is.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Nick Powell has just tweeted a picture of his boots. They have "#YKTD" on them.

That's worse than "Welbz".

If jack does come back, he'll get a lot of little injuries like rosicky and TV when they came back, so can only hope Coq will step up

Losing Pog hurts more than it should. I knew he was leaving the day I saw him at the cinema and he was wearing all black and white.

I should have prepared better for this

Newcastle Utd and Fulham have both agreed a £4.5M fee with FC Twente for Douglas. It is now up to the Player.

Hope we get him.
