Remarkably, it might not be the dumbest transfer decision of the week, as Chelsea are supposedly preparing to bid 25mil and Broja and Gallagher for Anthony Gordon. Dunno if it's credible but if so... insanely stupid thing to do and Everton should snatch their hands off.
 

Most likely it's not credible though. Better to wait and see what proper journalists with a good track record regarding Chelsea and Everton transfers (Law, Kinsella, Ornstein, Joyce) have to say about it rather than believing bullshit merchants.

If (major if there) that's true, we should take the deal yesterday. That's daylight robbery, that is. Legal daylight robbery.

So not only did he not join and degrade City, he joined and degraded United.

That'S hardly possible. You could say he accelerated things there. He wasn't the root cause of United's problem, he isn'T exactly papering over the cracks. But the structural problems at United preceded his arrival.

Paul Pogba tells investigators that his brother is part of a €13m blackmail attempt

France Info have provided new revelations from police sources this Sunday night in the extraordinary developing story involving France World Cup winner and Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba, who has notably informed police investigators that his brother, Mathias, has been part of a concerted effort to blackmail him for €13m.

The matter came to light yesterday through the publication of a video on social media by Mathias Pogba, who claimed he was about the expose major revelations about his brother, Kylian Mbappé and Rafaela Pimenta. This announcement by the striker was then followed on Sunday by an official communiqué from Paul Pogba’s camp, affirming that the ex-Manchester United man was currently the subject of a blackmail attempt.
It has since been confirmed that French prosecutors have opened an investigation into the possible “attempted blackmail by an organised gang.” Mathias Pogba then took to social media to claim that the media was attempting to spin things and that his brother has lied to Italian authorities.
But France Info have now procured details relating to the French investigation – and they are jaw-dropping.

During various interviews with the authorities, Paul Pogba is understood to have said that he was trapped by childhood friends and two hooded men armed with assault rifles during an incident in Paris. A gang that demanded €13m from him, of which his brother Mathias Pogba would be a part.

The 2018 world champion claims to be the victim of threats and attempted extortion from his older brother and childhood friends.
Paul Pogba has confided to Organised Crime division investigators that he was temporarily trapped by childhood friends and two hooded men armed with assault rifles. According to him, the gang demanded €13m from him and has intimidated him several times since, including at the Juventus training centre in Turin, where he told the police that he recognised his brother Mathias Pogba among the suspects.

Between March 25th and 29th, when the French national team hosted Côte d’Ivoire and South Africa in friendly matches, Paul Pogba took the opportunity to visit his family in Lagny-sur-Marne. Friends are then alleged to have dragged him to an apartment in Paris, where they blamed him for not helping them financially since he became a professional player. Among them, two armed men demanded €13m for “services rendered,” claiming that they had protected him discreetly for 13 years.

The 2018 world champion assured investigators that he had seen his blackmailers several times, notably in April in Manchester, then in July at the Juventus training centre in Turin. It was in Turin that he recognised his brother Mathias, with whom he has a difficult relationship, among the people he accuses of intimidating him. After this episode, Paul Pogba approached his club’s lawyers who decided to notify the police.
During his police interviews, the Juventus player explained to investigators from the Central Directorate of the Judicial Police that he had always been close to his childhood friends and that he had never hesitated to help them financially when they were in the need, until last January, when he kicked a friend out of his house who he was hosting in Manchester. He had done so because he had realised that this individual had used his credit card to steal €200,000 from him.

Investigators, according the media outlet, understand Kylian Mbappé to be linked to the affair only through Paul Pogba mentioning the fact that his blackmailers wanted to discredit him and thus put further pressure on him to pay up by spreading false messages including that he would have asked a witch doctor from inside his family circle to cast a spell on Kylian Mbappé, which the player denied to be true.

Let's just punt Ronaldo into the sun

I just love how it says that Cronaldo did his part by scoring 18 goals, and the rest of the team failed to follow. It's funny how it ignores the fact United overall scored 14-15 goals less than a season before when Bruno scored 18 league goals, paired with 10 assists compared to Cronaldo's 3. How can anyone buy this whole "Cronaldo is great the rest of the squad is shit" when pretty much the same squad finished second in the league a year before he joined and had the worst PL era finish with him. Now, I'm not saying that United were great the season before, but Cronaldo obviously did ruin something in that team. I have no idea whether it was team chemistry and camaraderie, or gameplan or whatever or everything, but the drop in quality was obvious after he joined.
