Delusion is some supporters comparing this to Pogba’s departure. I think it’s fair to say that some of us don’t highly rate him. If he has the perceived world class potential everyone was going on about we’d see far more glimpses of it.
The departure to Pogba is pretty apt in terms of where they were in their development. To suggest that Pogba had this obvious quality to him that Gomes didn't would be revisionist. Sure the debut season Pogba played with Juve proved he was on another level, but you couldn't tell based on his youth appearances or his first team appearances relative to Angel Gomes. Both Gomes and Pogba showed a similar amount of talent for the youth teams, and both showed similar quiet appearances for the first team.
I wouldn't put too much weight behind them. The Turkish clubs (Fenerbahce, Besiktas, Galatasaray) get linked to every player at some point. One of them was linked with Kurt Zouma a couple of years ago.
If he's got a deal lined up he could and should be training with them now. He absolutely did walk away because he's been very poorly advised by some absolute dickhead who wanted to fast track his status to being a millionaire.
Makes sense, specially the point about him being currently unemployed are my thoughts as well.
Better than staying at United and go on loan? Let's see where he goes next but so far, it does not look like a great decision
I agree if he’s moved on hunting a bigger salary then he needs to sack the idiot advising him. You don’t need to leave a club like United to become a millionaire.
I wonder if that is where the agent is screwing things up for him, can't get that little extra something something just renewing with United.
Ok cheers mate, thought it seemed a bit of a strange link.
Really? we've witnessed this 'great talent,' for some years now and he still hasn't broken through. To top that he's turned down a wage that he should be embarrassed to get given the state of the world right now.
That’s a great question. I think the club would have to offer him less if that were to happen.
That's the thing. If he was that good a top club would have got him by now. They may still do but something is wrong, maybe the agent is acting greedy butbif ultimately he ends up in turkish league then he is a fool.
Liverpool wanted Gribbin, but they wanted him as a youth player with a view to first team football in the future. Same as we did.
Gribbin started demanding to be in the first team and refused to play for the u23s. The coaching staff got sick of his shit and told him he wasn’t welcome at training anymore.
Yeah, that was after the Liverpool interest and the club re-signed him for a year wasn't it? I remember he was tweeting about Liverpool or something before staying for another year, then refused to play.
