Yes, I'm being serious. A player's agent constantly talking shit about our club and now saying his client is "done" is just unprofessional and totally disrespectful.

This won't fly at any other big club or under any top manager like Klopp, Guardiola or Mourinho. This isn't media rumours or paper talks, this is yet another incident with the same player and we've had those issues since his second season at the club. We need to draw a line and set the standards that we used to have, no player is more important than the club, no matter the financial repercussions. If we are still have any ambitions left to keep our status, this should be the final straw.
You cannot say this in a covid context like this, finances matter more than ever now. Pogba can be benched by the club and there are repercussions to it financially speaking that I'm not sure the owners or Woodward are ready to accept
 
We are paying his astronomical wages for that fleeting moment of brilliance.

Also, Pogba calls himself a “team player” but he has rarely showed any amount of long-standing devoted commitment to the club in the way Bruno already has (through interviews and his performances) in his short time here. There was always a sense that he is “doing United a favour” by staying with the club.

The fact that fans are often left second-guessing his level of long term commitment after every interview or press-conference is an explicit warning sign that this player needs to leave.

Those repercussions are already in force. Pogba's price has dropped no matter how good he plays until the January window opens. And this is Raiola's way to make United accept reality and take a cut-price fee for his client, whilst he himself earns yet another criminally large paycheck.

Raiola is twisting our hands and has done it before, all with Pogba's blessing. No wonder teams and agents take us by the balls during negotiations, we are acting like such a weak club.
 
I never want to see him in the team again after these latest comments from Raiola

Get shot of him on the 1st Jan
 
Yep, it was clear Pogba was really struggling from COVID. I had it also and suffered from exactly the same things, extreme fatigue that just made your lungs feel like they had 50% the capacity they did before. No wonder he's looked sluggish and unfit - he literally is due to the virus.

He showed more of his old self against West Ham so that's very positive to see. Hopefully he can kick on now and have a good rest of the season as he's so important when he's at his best.

I agree. Think the goal will do him a world of good, too. Hopefully, as you said, he kicks on now.
 
He's been fecking diabolical for months, scores one good goal and he gets his fat cnut agent to come out with this stuff.

I will be delighted when Pogba is gone, it's sad to admit but I can't stand him.

What about Van de Beek's agent?

Fact is, whether right or wrong, ultimately agents want the best for their players and will make sure their voice is heard if they feel their player isn't being used correctly.

It wasn't VDB's agent though. That was wrongly reported.

He will still play though IMHO. We'll find out soon enough anyway.
I think it's easy from our perspective to expect the club to do things firmly and swiftly. The reality can be more complicated

Couldn't agree more, just want the Pogba circus gone. He allows his brother and his agent to drag the club down.
He has never realised his potential, and that is on him not any manager or teammates he is responsible for his lack of concentration and poor play.
Just hope someone will pay some money for him.
 
Course its not!

Fact is, we don't know anything. All we can go off is what Raiola said (if he did say it). Wouldn't be the first time false things have been put out regards Pogba, only for fickle fans to eat it up.
What twisted Pogba-centric world are you living in?
 
Why is this even a story? We all knew this for months. Pogba came very close to saying it himself a few months ago when he had that interview with the French national team.
Seriously. This is a non story and should change nothing for tomorrow.
We need to win. Maybe playing Pogba makes sense cuz now he wants to prove how good he is. Well against Leipzig would be a great time to show it.

If we can sell him in january, getting 50 million I think would be amazing.
 
Not sure how.

There's no proof (at least for now) that Pogba has gone to his agent and said that. When there is (if there is) as I said, let me know.

Not sure how I'm being delusional.
I know there is no point to reply to you further. I just do it for the laughs, to be fair. :lol:
 
If the quotes from Riola are true Pogba can't play tomorrow night.

Why not?
I mean we literally all knew he was gone for months.
He is a professional. Tomorrow is a must win game. If he is the best option to play and he might be, he definitely should play.

This is nothing new. Pogba almost said it all himself and has been saying it for a long long time, most recently 2 months ago.

Ferguson would be livid. He nearly be paying PSG or Madrid to take him off us. No way would he tolerate this.
 
I'd be surprised if he plays. It's not like he is playing well.

Having said that, he wants out and to shop himself around so may play well and show he is decent

Did VDB's agent ever come out with the quotes Raiola has tonight? It's one thing questioning playing time and another saying the player is leaving
 
Wasn't Mourinho here when Raiola apparently offered Pogba to City? What did Jose do?
What did Mourinho do? He started singling out Pogba more and more, until that costed him his job, since Pogba was one of the leaders in the dressing room and the team became alienated.
 
just hope someone offers us 60m

can't wait to see the back of him

24 hours before a crucial CL play off

what a wanker
