He was; I can't help but think if Dawson hadn't arrived (and Dawson of course is fantastic) then he wouldn't have started playing badly. Seems you can't have 2 leaders at the back or mistakes happens and confidence gets knocked.
Barcelona have agreed a £64m deal with Juventus to sign Paul Pogba.
Wait, aren't they under an embargo?
Wait, aren't they under an embargo?
Apparently, they're still signing players this window, they just can't register them to play for them until January.
Well, that makes the embargo pretty bloody pointless. They shouldn't be allowed to even contact another club.
No it doesn't.
The embargo means that they can't sign anyone within the dates set. Which is what will happen.
They can still sign players though, which is wrong.
They can't. They can put a bid in for a player and have that bid accepted but he can't sign until January 2015.
That's wrong.
He can sign, but he can't be registered to play in a competition.
It's still wrong, no matter how you try to twist it.
Though they can agree deals now, they can't gain any benefit from these players until after the embargo ends and they can play for them, I really don't think it matters.
That's wrong.
He can sign, but he can't be registered to play in a competition.

They can get benefits - they can sign these players over teams who (on the face of it) haven't broken any rules to land them under embargo.
How can it possibly be wrong? Barcelona can't sign/register a player to begin playing for Barcelona under this embargo.
They can't sign him until January. He'll be a Juventus player until January the 1st when he'll be announced as a Barcelona player.
He'll sign a pre-contract agreement. Similar to Gerrard.
