It the market rate for a top tier player, and based on this tournament, when he was supposed to be the main man, he is nowhere close to it.

I don't care what Utd pay for him, my question is whether he is worth buying at all. Italian League is nowhere as competitive as EPL, is he being found out on the big stage?

I agree completely. When the reported fee is a world record, you would expect him to dominate games.. I have never seen him dominate a big game. He wasn't even France's best player in the tournament.

Hococop

Seen pepe whisper to kante when he was walking up, Madrid move?

Portugal really did a Greece in that tournament, showed the value of having a manager understands the players and how to get the best from the group.

Hoping Jose can do that with United next season.

Sad for Martial, I thought he has more to contribute to the French.

Yea it's better than the EPL
Juve were champions league finalists in 2015
How did the great epl teams do
And he was an integral part of that Juve team..

Eamo writing off pogba we are onto a superstar

No mention that Dechamps management was poor and his use off the players at his disposal was poor.

Yep, he talks about spoofers all the time and he is the biggest one.

He dismissed Ronaldo for a long time before it became untenable to continue it.

It really isn't better. Juve have an excellent team, though and Pogba is a good talent. He is absolutely not worth 100m but if it doesn't stop us from buying other players down the line, it doesn't matter. Only player I'd be willing to pay 100m for right now is Messi though.

The great players save their best for the big competitions - you know, when the EPL fans are watching - real greats like James Rodriguez and El Hadji-Diouf.

Keep your Pogbas and your Mullers.

Best of luck to Gylsey

****ing Legend

I feel old after watching that tribute!

jimmytwotimes 2013

Not a Ronaldo fan but have to hand it to him, got Portugal to final and is some machine.

jayo26

They said Ronaldo and messi had to win international honours to be considered up there with the all time legends (I disagree) but does this finally cement Ronaldo's place then? And does it put him ahead of messi? Seen as he had a major influence in the path to the final and was still driving them on from touchline.

Nah it won't count because he didn't score the winner. He's a spoofer is Ronaldo.

Ronaldo owns Messi. No question. Not even a debate.

Yep I won't say Ronaldo has always looked his beat playing for Portugal but he got better in this tournament and lead them in the knockouts and was a leader on the pitch tonight trying play with an injury.

People talking about pogba not having a good tournament and not leading the French team well take a look at someone like messi he rarely turned up for Argentina it don't mean that Pogba can't be a great player.

sky88

I really don't think pogba is worth 100 million and I'm still not sure if he's as good as everyone thinks he is but he's young and has potential there for sure

The_Kew_Tour

Delighted for Ronaldo.

But special mention for Nani.

Was super throughout and matured as a player.

Delighted for them both.

Oh and I love how Pogba getting stick from some in match thread. I suppose if Ronaldo and Nani does not work, yum yum

Seriously lads, I'm skeptical about the fee for Pogba but certainly wouldn't be forming my opinion based on the Euros.

Yup, the fee is jarring, especially so for a midfielder who won't add huge firepower to your team. But the euros is 7 games with a team of people you play one or two matches with every few months. Messi is never as good for Argentina and if it was announced tomorrow that we were buying him I'd be in dreamland.

He was waisted in the tournament IMO
Should have been playing further forward but the system France play is all set up to utilize Greizmann
He was practically played as a DM
He's defo not worth 100 million that's for sure but if we expect to go toe-to-toe against Madrid who are CL elite then Yea that's what we need to pay to get him
Not saying we will anyway it's the usual yawn fest summer saga dragged out by Sky / Baleigue

Is that photo of Ronaldo and Fergie hugging real?
Class if it is but when I saw it I immediately thought it was from another game.

Thank God that tournament is over now. Let the transfer rumours run absolutely wild.

Looking forward to so many things this season regarding United. Theres also other things I'm weirdly excited by. Im eager to see West Hams new stadium and Anfields new main stand. But most of all I cant wait to see Zlatan standing on a pitch in a United jersey. Thats gonna be mental looking.

It's great and only a week to go before the first preseason game i love it.

Then we have city and Dortmund to look forward to and rooney testimonial and Wembley.

It's not far off now lads.


Ohh yhh and is the euro pass for the soccer forums finished now? That's exciting too.

We sold Nani for 4m!!!!!! Awful decision

kellstrom

Was impressed with Nani today, he showed more maturity and less ego than his days at United. Still happy to be rid of him all things said.

The picture was great, the video was even better. The affection with which Fergie says "Nani!"... And then Ronaldo's reaction. ****ing love them both ****ing bring them both back.

Edit: 10th post says I want to bring Nani back. Fitting.

Fergie looks like a love struck teenage girl waiting to see Justin Bieber when he's waiting on Ronaldo to come down

Great to see Alex enjoying football (and other sports), especially when he is getting to enjoy a lot of special moments where he had a big influence on the people involved.

RobbingBandit

Hope he was there scouting others, bring back Nani and Evra please.

TheDoctor

The Euros have been over for about 11 hours now, why haven't we signed anyone!!!

MagicIRL

Fergie looks like a proud Dad! What a video!

Just listen to the "Nani!" "...Boss!" :pac:

Brilliant.
