Surprise, Surprise. Excellent talent but is probably too big headed. Raphael Honigstein wrote that he was due to make his debut against Crawley but missed the team bus and therefore was dropped out of first XI. It's amazing how many of Raiola's clients are arrogant. Zlatan and Balo amongst the major ones. Looks like Pogba will be another one.
Nice by Juve to wrote it on the OS btw. He's still gonna be an excellent player.
Unusually, the reason for the exclusion was made explicit in a statement on the Bianconeri website, infuriating agent Mino Raiola.
“Whoever decided to put this news out on the website is evidently confused,” Raiola told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“I hope it wasn’t Conte’s own decision, otherwise it means he is unable to deal with situations at this level.
“Paul is very disappointed with what happened, both for his lateness – despite good reasons – and for not being a part of the squad.
“In the first instance of lateness he only received notification of the training session time late into the night.
“In the second he had some appointments that the club itself had organised for him to go through some paperwork.”
Whatever the spin being put on this, the popular opinion in the Juve dressing room is that with a couple of decent appearances under his belt;Pogba has become rather big headed of late.
A talent he may be but Juve have a tradition of doing things with great discipline
Pogbatelli
Out of the squad. Arrived late to the training two times in a row.
"The coach (Antonio Conte) was right to drop me (from the squad)," he said."It is a good lesson for me," adding his lateness was due to a "misunderstanding".
From the telegraph(a month ago)...posting it here so the pogbatelli thing doesnt catch on.
Phew, thank God...
e is kind of relaxed and he’s a guy who likes to laugh in the dressing room," he told Tuttosport:
“Of course you see him on TV all serious, but knows how to be in the dressing room."
However, the Frenchman did admit that the Old Trafford coach did occasionally lose his rag with his players.
He added: “Well, sometimes he shouts, but it is normal for a coach to do so. But it was not always the case; he is more often than not relaxed.”
As a 20 year old, I don't find that too surprising.

What a strike. Still can't believe we let him go, he's going to one of the world's best.
He's scored a screamer, but how's rest of his game been, btw ?
Look lads, we lost Pique at a young age too, sure, he went on to win everything at club and international level whilst getting in the world team of the year over and over again.
Still though, it isn't like the denizens of the CAF resorted to making threads about him, proclaiming that he is the most overrated player in the world. We will get over Pogba lads, worry not.
