Hi, Any chance of an effort for either Koke or Pogba before the month is up?

Well that's a little disappointing.

Yeah, its disappointing - but I don't think its the club foul.
Pogba gain lots of attention from many big clubs included Bayern, Barca, Real (the 3 clubs Mourinho mentioned recently that we can't buy their player if they don't want to sell) fight against them will be suicide fight with huge fees.
Koke just simple doesn't want to move. Chelsea submitted an offer of 65 mil euro but Diego Simeone persuaded him to stay.
So this season we are just unlucky that our targets were very hard to seize.
They are also some good players in the market like Sterling - De Bruyne but the board just simple don't want them.

The market is more than a little inflated too I guess. Regardless, we feel a little short in that role.

Pogba will go to Barca next summer.

After Pirlo and Vidal left Juventus there's no way they will sell Pogba.

I heard we did put in a substantial bid for Sterling, so it's not like the club isn't trying to bring players in.

Is there any truth that Augsburg want around 25 million for Rahman Ed? Because If true that is a shocking amount even though he's highly rated.
If they're going to be like that I'd prefer to see us go for Coentrao because I think Mourinho could bring him here.

I agree - personally I'd tell them to do one, leave a bid of £15m on the table and walk away. Rahman obviously wants to come to us; let him go ape on Augsburg for asking too much.
I wouldn't go for Coentrao, I'd stick with Aina - I know he's only 18 but he's muscular and quick.

"He's muscular and quick" is probably the worst reason I've ever heard for choosing a player over another Mrs Costa haha

Lol - yeah, the point I was trying to make (badly) is that for an 18 year old he's not going to be easily pushed around.

Hey eds, have you guys heard anything about Godfred Donsah of Caligari? Their President said Chelsea had contacted them
