The football world has gone mad! I just read that Pogba's agent is getting 15 million as part of the deal to take him to United! That's crazy! Just imagine what Celtic could do with that sort of money! Prob get in one player for £250,000 a 35 year old on a free and possibly a Chelsea youngster on lone! Lol got to love being a Celtic fan when the transfer window is open!

Sorry to disappoint u gaz but he's getting £25m.
29 Jul 2016 16:55:57
Whats even more mad is Man U sold him to Juve for £800,000 only 4 years ago.
{Ed007's Note - That's not what happened, Stevie. Ferguson tried to force Pogba to sign with one of his agent friends and when the lad refused he was frozen out at Utd which lead to him leaving at the end of his contract, the £800k was training compensation.}

Cheers for that ed, I thought Man U just didn't rate him and punted him.
{Ed007's Note - No mate, even then you could see he was a bit special. Utd actually got into a spot of bother over the way he joined them from Le Havre, they were cleared of any wrongdoing by FIFA after coming to an agreement (who said bung?) with the French club.
It's just another example of Fergie's arrogance and of him putting his own personal gain over the club. He thought he could bully Pogba like he did youngsters from the UK but the French lad was having none of it. Remember Utd fell into the hands of the Glazers after a falling out over a (swear) racehorse!}

I heard a rumour about Pogba and a gold watch although can't really remember the details. Did you ever hear anything about this Ed?
{Ed007's Note - Aren't you thinking about Ravel Morrison? There was a rumour he stole a really expensive watch off Rio Ferdinand but it was made up BS, Ferdinand himself came out and said it wasn't true. Morrison was not only one of the best young players Utd ever had, he was one of THE best young players England's ever produced, even Pogba was envious of Morrison's ability when they were team mates in the Utd youth set up.}

Yip your right Ed, was Morrison, and totally agree with you about his ability, pity his attitude is shocking really.
{Ed007's Note - And it's still shocking lol.}
29 Jul 2016 19:07:12
What happened to him ed?
{Ed007's Note - Morrison? He's over at Lazio but never settled over there either and has been linked with a move back to England, I think it was Aston Villa I seen were interested but there will be more than them I'd imagine.}
29 Jul 2016 19:48:33
love to see him in the hoops, don't think any manager could get through to him tho, which is a shame.
{Ed007's Note - If anyone could they'd have a top class player on their hands. I'd take him even if he's calmed down the gangsta/partying lifestyle, he would destroy teams up here and would give us that spark in Europe we've been missing since Lubo and Naka, not to mention that the fans would absolutely love him.
29 Jul 2016 20:44:08
Number 7 material? . Are lazio trying to punt him?
{Ed007's Note - I don't imagine Lazio would be hard to deal with. During the last window they tried to ship him and Edson Braafheid (remember him?) to the owners other club Salernitana but both players refused to move. You're lucky if he's played a dozen games over there.}

In terms of the opposite of all of Morrison's vices, I can honestly say Nathaniel Chalobah is the exact opposite. I work in the school he went to and saw first hand how gifted he was. Never taught him but he will still always call me sir even now. Well travelled on the youth loan front at Chelsea and has equipped himself well for most of it. CB or CDM, good either.
{Ed007's Note - And getting his chance at Chelsea by the looks of it, they took him to the USA on their tour for Conte to assess him.}

I seen an interview with rio months ago and he was asked who the most exciting youngster was he has seen in his time at man utd and he answered quick as possible ravel morisson.
Have to say I was suprised but seen another interview with the old man utd no2 and he said the same.
Shame tho all that potential but his heads filled with rocks.
29 Jul 2016 21:24:03
Looks a real talent Ed! Such a shame he seems to have wasted a good few years!
{Ed007's Note - He should be one of the top players in Europe by now.}

I always thought RD was good at getting through to the players with bad attitudes. Look at the way he got LG to do a complete 180.
