Pogba deal not looking too good now I feel Ed002. Running out of time with only 3 hours left of the window. Have we got a back up?
{Ed002's Note - What do you mean "back up"?}

I think he means an alternative should things not go to the ideal plan(signing Pogba) I think its safe to answer this one simply "no"
01 Sep 2015 16:01:14
Considering we need a central midfielder / defensive midfielder to play next to matic and we all no we need one this deadline day has been as big a disappointment than the whole summer it just seems like nothing is going to happen and der is no sign of a creative midfielder or defensive one coming we all knew pogba would be difficult surely they must of had an alternative do. if the board and Jose can't see we need creativity and a defensive mid then they need to open der eyes . pedro u can say was brought in I was happy with that but we need more

Exactly that. So if Pogba doesn't sign, it will be just the Player from Nantes and also player from Reading?
{Ed002's Note - Chelsea are not going to buy players for the sake of it.}

Pogba will come. But I don't just get the hype around this guy.

No I know they won't. But as it's been said before. We are lacking in the centre midfielder area. It seems it's the only place that hasn't been covered that's all.

Agree Adam there was plenty on offer this year Vidal kondogbia song etc anyone would of been a step up on Mikel

you say the club won't sign players for the sake but the two signings today would make a case to beg different if both players were 18-21 I could maybe understand but in the football world today players who are going to make it normally have by the age of 23 and to say breaking into a struggling reading team only last year is making it is a push. In terms of the window as a whole for us it was reasonable in my opinion we did great business signing begovic and In pedro we have a good first team quality option who should lend much needed help in the goal scoring department. In terms of midfield we didn't get our main target in pogba but those deals are always so complex it was always going to be a long shot. I think of greater importance than who we did or didn't sign its simply now getting our current squad to rediscover their form as individuals we didn't simply become a bad squad over one summer and hopefully this poor start will give mourinho the needed push to be bravier in potentially blooding the likes of kennedy RLC and traore.
{Ed002's Note - One is signed as cover the other had been reccomended by his manager, watched by ME, discussed during the Piazon negotiations and will likely spend the rest of the season on loan at Reading. This is far from a shock.}
