Pogba epitomizing the modern footballer with his comments recently. Player power, just like wages, are out of control. No respect for the club or the supporters. I'm not a Man Ure supporter by any stretch of the imagination but fuck me mate, the disrespect.

I will admit I'm still a fan of Pogba despite all of this, but that's just based off of his days at Juve, and knowing he's still world class even if he's downed tools at United. There's a player in there somewhere.

Point being, this is modern day football. And I hate it. Still hoping he ends up at Madrid with Mbappe though.

Raspadori seems like a natural replacement for Dybala. I'm not very familiar with him but he 's more of a central player than a winger, right? Since it looks like we're keeping Allegri but firing the rest of his coaching staff :story: I think Zaniolo will be the more ideal replacement to fit his preferred 4-3-3 formation. He's had bad injuries but is still only 22 and has looked good this year. I'd like to see a Chiesa-Vlahovic-Zaniolo front 3 next year.

It's looking like we're gonna bring in Jorginho as well. So the midfield will be Locatelli-Jorghinho-????. I hope we don't break the bank for Pogba, I'd rather see a youth player step into the first team. Fagioli has the potential to be a big time player and apparently has done well on loan this year. Miretti could also be an option. The most important thing is to retain De Ligt for a least a few more seasons. He is by far the best player in Serie A.

Agree with basically everything you said there. I hear Zaniolo is a Juve fan himself so another plus there, I hope the Jorginho transfer goes through, would do wonders for our midfield and he's already experienced with playing with much of the team. Pogba on the other hand I hope doesn't, it would be questionable to let Dybala go on the basis of too high wages only to bring Pogba back. I agree about Fagioli and I'd add Sassuolo's Frattesi to the list of potential new midfielders we could see joining Juve.

As for De Ligt I hope he stays as long as possible, great defender and one of my favourite players in the team

There is another option Juve are apparently considering for Dybala's replacement...

While it looks good on paper, I'm not sure if it's worth it. If they're gonna break the bank, I'd rather them get a younger player like Christopher Nkunku from Leipzig. Even though the name cuts a little too close to the meme, the guy is a beast and he's going to a big club next year. Probably will be United, Liverpool or Bayern but he scored a hat trick against City in the group stages of the CL so he's already shown he belongs with one of the top clubs.
 
Big day for the Italian and Portugal national teams. Both should win but if either lose, they're out. If both win, they'll play each other in April and only one will go through. Meanwhile, Poland gets a bye cause muh Ukraine. Complete bullshit. Portugal will be without some key defensive players as well.

They should still be able to beat Turkey. Italy is also suffering with injuries to key players but it would be a disgrace if they lose to North Macedonia and miss the World Cup so soon after winning the Euros.

Turkey might actually pull this off. Considering the quality of players not in the squad along with how much Portugal tends to underperform, this isn't good news

For now

FIFA is trying to allow "The Federation of Russian Footballers" or some nonsense to take Russia's place

Might be too little too late at this point. Unless Ukraine doesn't play their playoff either

Ukraine's game has also been delayed. Again, I logistically don't foresee either team being able to play anytime soon. Disqualifying the teams sours the mood, which is why I advocate for Norway and Albania partaking instead. Since they both finished with the best overall points margins ( 18 ) outside those that made it into second.

The Ukraine game has been delayed but, like the Euros for Denmark, the tournament has to go on. Teams need to know if they should be prepping for the World Cup or the Euros. Too much needs to happen for this delay to continue. Also, while it would be nice to throw both Norway and Albania into the tournament to take their places, its too late for that.

We don't deserve any place in any form of international tournament. Apart from Håland.

Odegaard is turning into a good player too. Actually, looking at the current squad, you guys have some decent young players in some good teams right now. Might actually make some noise in 2-4 years assuming no career threatening injuries

Double post but came across this

These kind of videos piss me off. The first one is talking about the "quality of player" for United. United have been shit since Ferguson left and are only relevant because their owners make them a global brand name. They need a full and complete rebuild that would require years of being mediocre before they can compete. Yet fans here think they can get rid of half the squad, somehow replace them with much better players, and compete for the title. Idk if its football fans in general or british people but just the sheer stupidity in this video really makes me angry
 
The more I watch of Gareth Bale, the more pissed off I get at Real Madrid for wasting his time these recent years by not selling him; I'd rather he play for a lower level team than just sit on the bench
