My thinking is that he already has to try to shoe horn Bruno in. If anyone would write down a credible system that Conte would play that gets all our best players in the team but includes 5 at the back that he never strays from and Ronaldo who won't just be dropped and two defensive mids that he won't change I'd like to see it.

He won't leave Pogba out to play Bruno that's for sure. He'll probably start off playing Bruno behind Ronaldo with Pogba and two other midfielders alongside him. Soon he'd dismantle that front two due to their inability to hold on to the ball. With any managerial change Bruno is the player that would be the most under threat.
Stupid tackle as it was I don’t get the overreaction to it. He was played a hospital pass and tried to win it. If he’d have not tried to tackle and Liverpool went down the other end and scored he’d have been slated damned either way. Scholes put in a similar tackle that got him banned from the CL final and had the team play the final with Butt and Beckham in CM and almost lost us a CL final with a moment of madness. Pogba tried to win a hospital ball with a reckless tackle in a game we were already losing 5-0 and affected nothing.
I get that people hate him.

Slightly amazed the stuff about him only signing a new contract if Ole gets sacked isn’t being discussed…must be tricky for those who have hated him so much to choose 
Would you sign if you were him? Sits on the bench and watches Mcfred in front of him. Plays for a manager who can't manageSlightly amazed the stuff about him only signing a new contract if Ole gets sacked isn’t being discussed…must be tricky for those who have hated him so much to choose
maybe if he wasn’t so shite at Leicester he wouldn’t have been benched? Just a thought. And I like Pogba - just a bit sick of players never taking any responsibility which has been rife at this club for 8 years.
This is an easy choice. Withdraw contract offer and then fire Ole.Slightly amazed the stuff about him only signing a new contract if Ole gets sacked isn’t being discussed…must be tricky for those who have hated him so much to choose

Bored of it. If he wants to leave he can go. This will he won't be saga has dragged on too long. They needed to cancel this show two seasons ago.
Easy on the power moves there. We're trying to get rid of someone who thinks he's too big for his britches, not destroy the Death Star.
Not bothered in case both leave. We are paying way too much for players with questionable attitude and and inconsistent delivery.Slightly amazed the stuff about him only signing a new contract if Ole gets sacked isn’t being discussed…must be tricky for those who have hated him so much to choose
Even though I'm Ole out this is good to see.
So easy for papers to write bullshit that so many people believe.
Conte in and Pogba to stay. Wouldn’t mind that. If anyone can get a tune out of him
Conte can.
Only 5 more assists than anyone else in our squad league wise this year but apparently he’s always the problem.

Been saying it for years, I wouldnt be arsed if he went tomorrow. We seem to be shoehorning him into the team most days anyway. And hes generally mediocre.
If this stuff is true about him making rumblings behind the scene to move the manager on.. it would be karma if a new manager came in and just said 'Im moving you on.. Im not dealing with the crap that comes with you and your agent. Cheerio".. no nonsense
EDIT*. just seeing hes denied it all in social media.. good for him, something positive from the team rather than the mess of the last few days

This is the problem with our fans.
If the stuff is true? Pogba literally just said it's a load of shite and people still question him.
Madness
Agreed. Until Ole is gone the players should be seen to support him in public.
As much as I hate the way we are playing at the minute and want Ole gone I still have massive respect for him.
Ive literally just seen that tweet since.. Thats fair enough..good enough for him making it public there misinformation out there.. Still doesnt really change I wouldnt be bothered if he left though
Pogba finally calling out the media agenda I hope some of you sort yourselves out and either apologise or take some time for self reflection.
plot twist: he only comes out with this after Glazers decide that Ole stays for now
How does it matter to him? He's likely going to leave next season anyway.
"Polemic" hahahaha, either he's done that as a bit of banter to Ronaldo, or he's written it in the group chats so much that it's auto corrected to "polemic"
He's responding to the fake news that he's snubbed Ole and shelved contract talks. So if he's taking the time to call that out, he's definitely in talks about renewing and would not be surprised if he does indeed sign
Wonder if Gary and Scholsey pick up on him being about the only player in the squad to publicly address the media and support the manager.
Yeah that'll happen
Someone needs to show Scholesy clips of his various on field offences...
Any sentence with Scholes and clippings in it will forever leave me cringing hard.
Rich of him to talk about respect for teammates and a manager considering he refused to play in a match once.
I see some usual suspect are back in this thread who were missing when Pogba was playing well. Funny when they are blaming him for our poor performance when he wasn’t even playing.
Suspended for the next 3 league games for the red card
No big deal shit happens.
Wasn't the worst tackle ever but was a red card.
We where lucky it was our only one in that game tbh
Is a straight red automatic 3 game suspension?
Should have been sold in the summer. Now he's most likely leaving on a free to PSG or Real Madrid for a nice payout.
The club mismanaged the situation. Apparently we didn't offer him a new contract two summers ago.
We waited till the summer just past
Not that they are too comparable but we did the same to Hererra.
The card is on his hand now ( or his agent ) He will get more than 500,000 pound per week wages with his free agent contract.
The problem is, is that worth to pay him 500,000 per week? I couldn't imaging anything more than 150,000 for his contribution so far.

Should have taken the £100m+ from Real two summers ago.
Another fine mess that Woody has gotten us into.

He's the perfect mezzala.
LCM in a 3 man midfield is how I'd expect Conte to play him. He won't work in a 2 man midfield in the Premier League, it's just too intense compared to international football.
Pogba---Matic---VDB is what I'd predict if/when Conte comes in.
Pogba-Rice-Tchouameni is something that I would love for us to set up in summer 22 and would be superb for the team.
We've had a very lopsided central midfield that we haven't addressed for years now.

We don't know what he will get or if he even will sign. It's crazy how people are convinced of either scenarios
