    OP is utter nonsense, complete hearsay regarding value of deals and whether they were accepted or not, and zero evidence to suggest Chelsea sytle of football had anything to do with anything

    Players will go to Chelsea because they want to win titles and play in the Champions League, plus they have probably the best manager in the world as another selling point

    in my book they have no history or prestige as a club but money is the reality of football today and players would rather sign for Chelsea than Man utd at this point in time

    with regard Pogba he is already at a massive club who win titles, a much bigger club than Chelsea, who played in the Champions League final last year, he is already well paid and has no reason to leave any time soon unless maybe Bayern, Barca, or Madrid come calling

    the OP should be more concerned how a player like this managed to slip through the net at his own club which has fallen drastically in recent years

    Lots of waffle and hot air but the premise of the OP still stands

    Pogba has refused to move to Chelsea and to play for Maureen <ok>

    Some of them want Falcao to start the next game. Costa must be playing like absolute dogshite!

    That said, I'd rather see Wilson up front than Rooney at the minute.

    I think we didn't want another Di Maria/Falcao situation that's why we didn't go ahead with the deal

    Costa played well against WBA and Palace tbf. Remy is the best finisher out of all three though

    Agree with all of this. Juve are a massive club 30 titles, six European titles, 8 Champions League finals, biggest club in Italy, no doubt.

    Of course Pogba would rather go to Barca, Real and possibly Bayern> Chelsea

    You do realise Milan are only second to Real Madrid in terms of European Cups won. They also arguably had the best club side ever in the early 90's. As a club just simply the more glamourous based on a beautiful style of football either of us could only dream of. So there is a heck of a lot of doubt.

    Juve have fans all round the country like United. Milan have more big ears but Juve are bigger club historically and fan wise: a little bit like United and Liverpool

    Even though their home gates were sometimes Lousy, they always got great away followings, highest TV ratings etc

    You're right about the away fans but the whole thing about their home fans is very strange tbh.

    On the continent it's the big ears the clubs are judged by tbh.

    Also if I had the choice between watching the best Milan sides in my lifetime (and there have been a few) compared to the best Juve sides, I'd rather watch Milan. I know this is subjective but their expansive swagger and style of forward play balanced with solid water tight defences were just perfection imo.

    You're not back tracking there per chance?

    On the continent they do, but not here! <laugh>

    I disagree anyway, a club should be based on its domestic league, the European cup is a knock out tournament that doesn't (shouldn't) hold the same kudos as one of the top tier league titles.

    It's changed a bit now in that some of those leagues are now two or three horse races but not in ours of course.

    Anyway, give me Juve over Milan any day.

    Always liked them since back in the 90's when we used to have proper ding dongs with them. Plus saw them at OT including Platini , Rossi, Zoff, Baresi and Boniek as a teenager so that stuck. A great club.

    The fans just don't like the stadium, it's miles out of town.

    I guess that's me stereotyping them as lazy and makes me racist but there you go.

    Back tracking how?

    If we're talking most successful Italian club then I dare say Italians would see it as Milan bcos of the the European Cups.

    Not saying Juve arent a great club, but Milan's style of football has always appealed to me more. All subjective I suppose as I said before. But beating a Milan side (which didnt happen very often) was always a greater challenge imo. Not bcos they were typically defensive italians, but more bcos of them "out-uniteding" United - ie. they would play us at our own game more often then not and I admired the fckers for it. My impression was Juve were typically a bit soft centered against the English clubs whereas Milan weren't.

    You said that Milan were, in your eyes, bigger than Juve as they'd won more CL'S until dickwad made the (valid) comparison between those two clubs and us and Liverpool. Which is when you said it's on the continent that the CL is the prime indicator.

    Anyway, relax I was joking. I genuinely couldn't give one **** what you or anyone thinks to be honest. <ok>

    I didnt clock the liverpool united comparison and I'm very relaxed :biggrin: Just chewing the fat over a semi-interesting football debate. Btw domestic titles only matter when you havent bribed half of them and been relegated for it as a result.

    Oh well, according to all of Liverpool, City and Chelsea fans then, none of ours matter! Bar the relegation of course.

    Your disarmed initial response to Londons merely added fuel to the scouse belief that 5 times is more important than 20.

    The truth is there's not much between Juve and Milan and so comes down to personal preference. Sounds familiar.

    Your research is lazy. ;) They love the new ground. They just did not like Stadio Dell, and not did I, at Italia 90 even when it was new
