Paul Pogba / turned down United offer of 300k as “nothing”

In an ideal world. We go from strength to strength after he leaves and he languishes in a shitty Juventus side.

While in reality, he takes to them back to the top while Ronaldo is padding stats against Legia Warsaw in the Europa League next season.
 
Hate how our fanbase defended him for so long.

Should have got the boot before Jose. He's a disgrace.
 
If Gazzetta and El Nacional are the outlets that are reporting the recent links, then there really isn't anything in them. I'd wait for better outlets/journalists to report on them.

You could not have said it better mate. Another interesting fact is that his performance thread hasn't popped up among top threads after that Liverpool red.
 
Pogba is just like the whole team at the minute. When he's on it he's a world beater, when he's not he's awful.

By no way is he leader even if he thinks he is. Not someone the players would look to when things aren't going right. Should of been sold a years ago when we could of got big bucks for him. Now he' ll leave on a free and we'll either have to splash big on a replacement or gamble on someone young.

As always the problems with this club stem from the disgraceful mismanagement at the top.

This should have happened a year or two ago. They needed a Rakitic replacement and Pogba would have been a good fit in a role where he could look to join the attack as their most attacking midfielder. We'd have gotten a fee and saved a ton on wages we could have used elsewhere.

Even now, they would have Pogba, Pedri and Gavi for the 2 #8 spots and De Jong and Nico for the #6 spot with Busquets increasingly showing his age but my guess is coming on as a sub to keep possession and helping Xavi coach the midfield.
 
so where are the guys on here defending Pogba that he is still our best option in a 2 man midfield????? he's fuking shiite
 
Evra stating Pogba does not feel loved by United or its supporters.
 
At this point i feel like when you negotiate for a car and at the price they're offering you couldn't really give a shit if you get it. Whatever we've put on the table we should just be like "take it or leave it."
 
He'll be a catastrophe in both those teams. They're not particularly good either. And they can't afford his wages as of now. Silly them.

Just wait until the internationals. It's always the same story, same posters creaming themselves how good he is for France in double pivot.
 
There's no doubt Pogba is hugely talented, but there comes a time when it's best for the club and the player to part ways.
He comes across as a nice guy in his interviews, and all the players he plays with speak highly of him.
The first problem is that he has let his agent control his career entirely. He left us at 18 as he thought he deserved to start. Then as he was just beginning to establish himself at Juventus, he shipped him to us as we were the highest bidder even though he preferred to go to Spain. For the last four seasons, pogba and his agent has hinted that they were looking for a new club. He never came out and said he was fully committed to the club. That's one of the main reasons fans won't be sorry to see the back of him. He hasn't delivered on the pitch consistently; he hasn't been the leader that we had hoped.
It was in the interest of the glazers to have pogba at the club for marketing purposes, but time has changed.
Scholas and Rio highlighted that pogba losses concentration quickly, and he needs a leader in his ear constantly, but we've lacked that type of player since the Keane. The sad thing is a 26-year-old Roy Keane on this team would transform the players around it. We should cut our losses and put him for sale and withdraw the contract off and let both parties move on. There has been far too much noise around the pogba camp since he came and I, for one, am sick of it. As one would say, it was worth the try, but time to sling your hook.

They still are, just check the last few pages.
You could swear the main goal of the club is getting the best out of Pogba instead of winning matches with a fully functional team.

SAF used to say that most people don’t recognise that being hard working is a talent. And that statement holds true today. When the conversation veers towards talented players - or in this case “hugely talented” - it inevitably focuses on players of high technical ability. But if one ever reframes the perception of what “talented” really means and gives equal weighting compared to technical ability, to attributes such as mental fitness, consistent application, and hard work; then Pobga really doesn’t fit the description of being “hugely talented” anymore. Instead he becomes viewed as what he actually is: a mediocre player in terms of real world effectiveness, who possesses some eye catching technical qualities that sporadically result in an impressive highlights reel.

Holding onto this notion that he is a superb talent is what has prevented a ruthless analysis of his performances and perpetuated his central role in the team under successive managers. It’s what led to his signing in the first place.

Consider the excessive weighting given to his relative mastery of some advanced skills - long range passing, vision, flair moves - and then contextualise them alongside his lack of proficiency in the more fundamental attributes of his position - tackling, bravery, work rate, decision making, short range passing, positioning, and teamwork - the basics for a midfielder, and you have to ask yourself ‘hugely talented at what exactly?’

Whenever I think of it in these terms, I not only come to the conclusion that he’d be my 5th choice midfielder at the club, but that the honest assessment of him is that he’s just not very good. Once I grasped that, I wondered why on earth I held on so long waiting for him to “come good”; and it’s because all the things he’s good at, are the things that are most rare and coveted in a player. But that desire assumes all the key fundamentals are in place and those skills are his differentiator. Not with Pogba.

He’s the emerald city built on quick sand. All gravy and no meat. The icing without the cake. A CGI blockbuster with no storyline. If he was a movie he’d be Prometheus; amazing trailer, damp squib of a film. If he was a porn star, he’d have the biggest dick on set, but no balls to give him an erection.

He’s so deeply, fundamentally flawed for the professional role he was acquired for, that he should be analytically viewed as perhaps the worst signing in our history.

tl;dr: He's rubbish

I think there is a doubt. Quite a big one, actually.

Pogba has an incredible bag of tricks and skills. But so do professional freestylers like Mr Woo.

On the scale of Adel Taraabt to Ronaldhino, Pogba is closer to Taraabt.
