‘Pogba Fee Is Crazy’- Wenger

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has blasted the gigantic price tag

set by Juventus on Paul Pogba, calling it ‘absolutely crazy’.

Manchester United are reported to be in pole position to land

the France International, in a fee believed to be in excess of

€100m.

“The Pogba transfer fee? It is completely crazy if you cannot

afford to pay it. If you can afford to pay it you can justify it. But

it is completely crazy if you compare it to normal life. That is

for sure,” Wenger told the Daily Mail.

“But we live in a world where every activity that is worldwide

makes a lot of money. Football has become a worldwide

competition and that is why clubs can afford to do it.

“Does it make sense in the way the player can give you that

investment back? Nobody ever could calculate.

“Since I am in this sport I always thought the record cannot go

higher and I was always wrong. Maybe in a few years it will be

200, 300, who knows…”

Arsene Wenger’s team will play Liverpool on August 14th 2016,

in their first game of the new English Premier League season
