Paul Pogba

[hydrofluoric acid]

Oh I thought I was posting in the Paul Pogba thread.

All I'm saying, those who claim they wan't to be the best, win the best player in the world award, like Pogba has done almost everytime he opens his mouth they go play for the best in the best leagues.

This is pure money move, which is not bad at all. But he is never going to win the best player in the world award there.

Well not so fast actually.
Sport AS http://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/reunion-secreta-para-fichar-pogba-4150200 are reporting that Pogba has no interest in City/PSG and has agreed to principle to join Barca. Big thing to note, Braida (new sporting director at Barca) was the best man at Marotta (Juve's director) wedding. Seems like Paul might be going to Barca.

Thanks for the clarification, I agree with this ballon d'or talk. Pogba has made the comments of being best etc. He is only 22 though, and I think at Real/Barca the challenge for that honor is much greater than being a focal centerpiece at a rising European power club. Messi/Ronaldo's shadow etc. At PSG, I could see that becoming Pogba's team should he go there which would factor in his decision. However, like you've stated Ligue 1 = poo. We'll see.

I don't see a problem with him going to PSG. Ligue 1 isn't quite as strong as the Premier League or La Liga but it isn't a weak League (neither is Serie A).
PSG are likely to dominate Ligue 1 but that's not a certainty - Lyon could well win it this year. And anyway Bayern are usually likely to dominate the Bundesliga and who would claim that Ribery or Robben would have been better off playing in England? For clubs like that their main rivals are increasingly each other, rather than the other clubs in their leagues.
