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

I won't believe he's gone until I see him holding another team's shirt. He's got it made in the shade at United. 2nd gear performances for top level wages, read that Juve have offered him £160k a week. How deflating that must have been for his oversized ego.

Why would we do this? We can aswell make Lingard assistent manager if true. I would rather give Karel Poborsky contract once again.

Omg just had a vision of United in 2050 where Lingard's still at the club in the Mike Phelan role.
 
I'm surprised he isn't linked to spurs tbh, he had a great spell under conte at juve, conte thinks highly of him and would have no transfer fee to pay and can offer pogba champion league football and London lifestyle

Spurs isn't big enough for the PP brand.
 
All this dilly dallying just reeks of him sliming his way to a new fat contract and then downing tools at the first sign of adversity under Ten Hag.

At least he's demonstrating loyalty. I think if we offer him the right terms he will re-sign.

Not really loyalty, is it? Loyalty would be refusing to consider such a move in the first place, not turning it down because you're worried about the consequences.

That's if it even happened in the first place of course, which is questionable.

The only thing that would make United fans more angry than him signing a new contract with City, is signing a new contract with United.

I am quite sure he enjoyed his time here. Earned loads lot of money, even won some trophies(not major but still decent), spent lots of time in Dubai, etc.
 
PR nonsense. He doesn’t care about us and there’s been a backlash against him since Mourinho was manager. Many wanted Agent Pogba to go to City to see what damage he could do to their dressing room morale for a change.

Juve have offered him a 3 year contract with a €10m salary. That's less than his current deal. Do you genuinely think United's offer wasn't better than his current deal?

If accurate, I think that's about half what they're paying Aaron Ramsey :lol:
 
Pogone, useless. He's been gone a long time in my opinion. One chain of the poison cut off, now go further. He was an absolute waste off time, the system, that formation, get the best out of him, what about him France.. bla bla bla.

Had a few months off every season in winter and never showed up when it mattered. When you're winning 4.0 against Newcastle he's the man. When you need to dig deep at anfield, hiding. Or a tight game, never the difference or leader you need. Good riddance, finally he's gone. Extending his contract would be criminal for that dressing room. Club also had a nightmare in this saga, no getting away from it.

Most of us wouldn’t if he made them worse and caused problems in there dressing room… however if he rips up the league at them then there will be chaos in here.
 
I wanted him to stay but now that Ten Hag is here and will be bringing in his own players, i won’t miss him. It’s a pity he didn’t work out here as he’s such a unique footballer. Adios Paul!
 
He must be a bit surprised. He was expecting Madrid and PSG etc to be fighting over him and in reality there wasn’t much interest.

Been mediocre at best and awful/injury prone at his worst for us, a complete waste of £90m which at the time was a world record fee.

From the reports he's never been that keen on going to PSG. Said to have received an offer both Juve and PSG but he prefers Juve on less money. I suspect there's a degree of him not fancying Ligue 1 and having enjoyed his time at Juve, he will probably be more loved. PSG can be a bit of a circus and I imagine given his profile he'd have a lot more fan and media scrutiny.

Similar things were said about him and PSG last summer too, he wouldn't rule it out but he's not keen.

The lack of interest from madrid is telling. Have an aging midfield in kroos and modric, but still a no thanks to pogba. Hilarious.
 
They’ll be a signing on fee probably worth about €30m.

Good move for him though, I’m convinced his body is breaking down. Serie A preserves careers.

Juventus were my bet and I still don't know why people think that he desperately wants Madrid or PSG.

It's no surprise. It's always been reported that Perez isn't a fan and that Zidane was the driver behind the interest.

I'll actually think more of Pogba if he chooses Juventus. By all accounts it's the worst offer he has financially, although Italian tax law for big earners will make the salary bigger than it appears it's still well under ours. We don't know what the bonuses are but it suggests that he's accepted incentives for performance.
 
But I thiught everyone was going to offer him crazy money? And looks like he is taking a pay cut in the end.

Because they are better teams where he'll better chances of winning trophies(CL mainly), signing for them would make him far more money than for Juve, and Madrid and PSG are better than Torino(especially PSG because he is from France).
 
Good riddance. One of the worst mentalities in the current squad.

I think he does want Madrid but they aren't interested in him. Even a few years ago when he was in a better situation it seemed like it was only Zidane who wanted him while the rest of the club preferred other options.

There's always been talk that he's not very interested in PSG though, so it's not that surprising if he picks Juve over them.

Are the numbers quoted not net? Seems to be how most of his offers have been reported so far. I seriously doubt he's taken a 10m gross offer.
