I've no idea mate. I'm not even flapping because truth be told I song particularly want us to sign Sterling. I'd love Pogba but again, he want even the best central midfielder at Juve last season. So I'm not going to cry when we don't.If someone was going to pay the full asking price Bruyne or Pogba, why havent they made a move already?
Do you think their supporters are flapping because they havent bought either player by mid July?
As for paying the full price, who in their right mind is going to choose us over Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern, unless we pay more? To sign the supposed best players I feel like we need a clear run at them, and even then it will be difficult enough.
For all we know, other clubs might have been in touch with Pogba and De Bruyne. Barcelona clearly have, and in the end he will probably end up there next year. Not because they are willing to pay more, but because they are a bigger draw. We aren't as big of a draw, so we probably have to temp the selling club into only selling to us. Clearly we aren't doing that with him.
