Paul Pogba - Juventus player | ban reduced - able to play competitively from March 2025

Also didn't help that for some reason he never stopped telling the press the players were useless and we needed a whole new team.

Yep you come in, big the players get them on your side. Have them fighting for your whilst observing who is to be culled when the time comes.
 
With time I have lost respect to footballs upper management. I thought clowns only existed in Manchester Uniteds upper management but damn Juventus along with Barcelona are next level.
 
I think the only people who like Pogba are the nu-age fans who like players more than clubs. I can't remeber seeing the home support turn on one of their own like they did with Pogba - he certainly didn't have many fans inside OT. Then you'd go online and see loads of people defending him, probably the same people defending him against the Juve fans now

trainwreck of a player at a trainwreck of a club, perfect match.

They really are. I watched their loss against Monza for a bit and was absolutely shocked by their team. What in the world did they cook their books for, if that’s the team they are fielding?
 
The past 6 months have been a complete nightmare for him, from the crazy issues with his brother to his injuries and missing the WC, and meanwhile Juventus are crumbling. I think he's even on a lower salary than the one we offered him to stay. I kinda feel bad for him because he's such a wasted talent. Obviously he wasn't surrounded by the right people, and I know Raiola was loved by his players but I've always though he had a bad influence on him as well.
 
Thread went from doubting he was injured “he’s faking it”. To now “he def injured himself skiing, he’s lying”

Unhinged behaviour.

I agree with this assessment. You see it in other threads and topics too.
 
Looking forward to Pogmentary 2 which will just be Pogba doing nothing (so, quite similar to the first one).
 

His remontada is going to be beautiful.

He was passed fit last week but after the 2-0 scoreline they decided not to debut him. Juventus are being extra cautious with him which is understandable after a long term lay off.
 
I always said to a couple of my friends that he had suspicious injuries where he was out for a long period but it was never explained what the exact problem was.

It was never a broken leg/ACL type or even the finer details were never released from what I remember where you can put a timescale on it. Always seemed to just be diagnosed with an unspecified injury around the big games and it would lead to him being out for 4-10 weeks out. Always thought it was strange. Same seems to be happening here.

I think his injury was a vacation in dubai

He's just a rich man's Jesse Lingard. Was always more interested in being a social media influencer than a footballer.

Scary that we actually offered him a new contract, imagine if he'd accepted and we'd be stuck with him for good.

The fact he didn’t accept it point to the fact we didn’t value him anything like he valued himself.

The "Player FC" wankers, endemic of society these days that fall for characters like Trump and Boris.

More like foreigners who don't feel attachment to any club, cause they just watch a lot of leagues, not only one.

A consequence of football becoming global indeed.

Not really, I see a lot of British and Irish people on social media who are like that too.

On Twitter and Instagram most people supporting Ronaldo over United after the interview with Piers Morgan were not british...lot of them even saying that they won't support United anymore cause their GOAT is leaving.

Not sure how is this even controversial, it's the true.
 
Of all the people Sky gets to comment and they get perma-crock Louis Saha discussing perma-crock Pogba. Can't make this shit up.

Or a Frenchman commenting on a Frenchman, Saha might have gotten injured a lot but he tried and had the right attitude which is more than you can say for Pogba
 
I can't believe some people actually want him back.

He represents everything that was wrong with our team for the last few years.

Inflated price tag, inflated wages, dance moves over trophies, greedy agent, left on a free after we spent a fortune on him, constant drama, had his agent regularly insult the club, the last time right before a big game.

Wouldn't go near him if they offered us £50m to take him back.

How many Frenchman have played for us over the years, 10 +? Just seems odd that they get the 1 crock to discuss the other crock.

Yea that came when he was the young star of a well drilled multiple title winning outfit playing alongside players such as Pirlo, Marchisio, Vidal (the latter two doing the hard graft) allowing Pogba to make a name for himself scoring long rangers, and not being required to learn the discipline of a CM. My point being his ‘hype’ was a lot greater than the reality.

And yet he was a key undroppable part of that midfield. The hype as you put it, it didn't come out of nowhere. He was doing something right at the very least

Floyd said:
Can you imagine Casemiro and Martinez having to put up with his crap? Losing balls in our own half, not tracking runners, doing generally lazy ass Pogba shit.

Luckily for PP and us we’d never find out.

He'd be either a bench player or a much improved under ETH

I'm a football fan, not fecking mother theresa, what did you expect? That fraud robbed this club of a living, while he spent his winters in Dubai, and fecked with the mentality in the dressing, only to go off to France and perform. feck him with a chainsaw running, and I don't care if you are offended by a football fan being pissed off at a fraud player that took the piss out of their club.

I’m not offended - just amused at deranged behaviour.
 
I was a huge defender of him and wanted him to succeed so badly. I’m now firmly in the fraud camp.
 
He was immensely talented and didn't show it nearly enough. I'm sure he hardly gives a feck, what with his tens of millions and World Cup medal, but he'll go down as one of those 'what could have been' sorts. Big shame.

There have been tonnes of (young) players in Serie A and other leagues that have a considerable amount of hype behind them but without much substance when it comes to showing it consistently. Ricardo Quaresma, el Sheraawy are two that come to mind in terms of being spoken of in world beaters but whose careers didn’t match that early promise.

I’m perhaps doing a disservice to Pogba to include him in that bracket but I see some similarities.
 
Surprised (well not really) at so many relishing in his demise. His past few years at United were riddled with injury and it's started even worse for him injury wise at Juve. I feel and still feel a lot of the other things people complain about Pogba is largely unwarranted and not based on projecting their dislike of him.

Hope for his sake he can get and stay fit. There's an excellent player in there but these injuries may only hamper him longer term.
 
Who'd have thought that Pogba and Lingard moving on would be a good thing for our squad.....pair of fecking halfwits.

Yeah, terrible injury record. The fact it's February and he still hasn't had his 2nd debut at Juve is telling as well.
Click to expand...
What?! I didn't follow it once he was gone but that strains credulity. Shocking waste of investment for any club.
 
I wonder what was Raiola saying to the club directors when he saw that contract.

Probably from our side, they listed the injuries, missed appearances, low KPIs, and low stats to Raiola and thought that's the best they can offer with that kind of track record.

Another problem of super agent is they always after money, not the player's best interest and that's a shame for modern football.
 
Just for anyone reminiscing about Pogba. Hears a few quotes from the summer

On the Pogmentary he said: “My thought process is to show Manchester (United) that they made a mistake in waiting to give me a contract and to show other clubs that Manchester had made a mistake in not offering me a contract.”
United made Pogba at least two offers worth more than the existing £290,000-a-week deal that had already made him one of the best-paid players in the Premier League.
Pogba response to his late agent Mino Raiola’s revelation of their second offer last July by saying the club had offered him “nothing”.
“How can you tell a player you absolutely want him and offer him nothing?” Pogba says. “Never seen that.”

This guy was a walking representation of the failures of the club over the last decade. We dodged a major bullet. Hard to be certain, but was Pogba's injury not on international duty, thus French insurance will paying the bills at Juventus ?
