We did go after Pogba, he's just too expensive for what you get. Do you not think we've dramatically lowered the age of the squad?

You were correct at the point we went for Pogba last summer. Since then FIFA has imploded and the main exponent in UEFA, Platini has been disgraced. It hindered us the last few summers. I doubt FFP is enforceable anymore. You also have the new money in the Chinese Super League, how does it apply there? From what I can see from all known reports, FFP is effectively dead.I disagree. IMO it's the reason we could not go after Pogba and replace an aging squad.

I think the deal we did with the Chinese means that FFP is less of an issue and the 'break even rule' was always seriously risky from a legal perspective. If the rumours of Arsenal and Bony are true perhaps its a swap with cash for Sanchez. That would be like all our Xmas's

Nope, he had a price and it wasn't worth it.... Even more so this year!!

FFP isnt dead especially in premier regarding wage increase.

I thought we pulled out for Pogba because it was a ridiculous price, not because we couldn't afford it. I might be wrong though

I'd say it's more to do with wenger hanging up his Jimmy Saville training manuel at the end of the season....
Sanchez had his chance, again, fuck him.... He's also more injury prone than Kun!!
Fair point on his injuries, great player though and with the ability to play across the front line. Pep seems to love flexibility!
I'm a bit surprised talk of another forward is coming about at this stage, although suppose it could be a case of other positions being a priority or an opportunity presenting itself that is too good to pass up.
I believe you are 100% correct!I thought we pulled out for Pogba because it was a ridiculous price, not because we couldn't afford it. I might be wrong though
