Pogba Future
- Thread starter wolvored
- Start date
Feck it we can't sell him right now. There isn't much he can do. Lets sell him next season when we get our shit together.
On another note couldn't they keep this under wraps when we had bought replacements? Now clubs will add an extra 20% to any future replacements.

He doesn't need Raiola to do that, he already did use his own words officially in China.
Listen, it doesn't matter. He is too valuable commercially for us so we will have to work it out with him.
We probably need to threaten the duo with some action that would cost them a shitload of money to put things into perspective.
It's not in Raiola's interest to keep it under wraps is it, he wants to drum up interest in his client
Hope he goes to Madrid. Desperate to drink those tears when the fans turn on him.
Most probably Raiola is pretending we sell him for how much we paid for him and we give 10-20 million to him.
Sick cnut

I agree with this but I would hope our board don't sit on their hands until it is done. The Spanish window close late in August and in Italy it runs into September. We need to make our decision in the next few days and go buy our replacements now. I know some will say we lose negotiating power if we do but I don't agree. United are rich enough to not need the fee up front before making moves and we can just as easily stick him on the bench until January and sell him then if Juve and Real try to get cute. Pogba won't want that because he has a small fortune tied up in appearance money, goal bonuses etc. and will lose out big time if he is not playing.
De Gea in no way belongs on that list, he’s lost form for a few months but he’s also been our best player for years, and he’s always treated the club with respect, even when the proposal from Madrid was there (and I understand why he was interested) then fell through he remained totally professional and even signed a new contract, he never attempted any underhand tactics to weaken our stance and force us to accept anything lower, and after the move fell through he came back and won player of the year. I wouldn’t back anyone on that list to do the same.
I also understand his apprehension this time, even if I don’t like it. His trophy haul should be much larger considering his talent level and performances over the years, this could be his last chance to move to a club that can give him that platform or have faith in a regime that has underwhelmed for a lot of his prime. Darmian and Rojo haven’t done much wrong but are just not up to the level, but the attitude of the others has been dismal.
If he does go, we have to reinvest wisely - similarly to how Liverpool used the Coutinho money on Allison/VVD. I am a fan of Pogba, but if we are able to invest that money and improve the team as a whole I am all for it, but can we trust our management to do so? Big fat no.
Quality control
I’m actually pleased this is happening. A chance for the Anti-Pogba brigade to get what they deserve.
We are not going to be a better side when our midfield still includes Matic & Fred.
Fernandes is not a better player & we won’t be using the funds from this transfer as an addition to funds we should already be spending.

God forbid a player using their agent for the thing they pay them to do
I'm on this train, now.
Perhaps if he played like he gave a squit, put some effort into consistent performances then a club would be willing to pay up on him, right now he is not worth the risk of the cash price we have valued him at
So, you're pleased because in your opinion, the club will perform poorly without Pogba and some fans who don't like him will get their comeuppance?
Good to know.
If he’s as desperate for his move as Mino claims, and Juve and Madrid are struggling to match our asking price, surely he can take a significant pay cut and fatty can forgo his % to make up for the shortfall?
Exaclty. I'm absolutely fuming about the way Pogba is acting. Had a completely different opinion of him as a person, he has no honour and no professionalism.
Totally done with him, hopefully the club doesn't falter under the pressure and insists on getting at least £150 million. And if I'm Ole, I'd be putting Pogba AND Lukaku in the reserves to show to the whole world that we are Manchester fecking United - not some bit-part club with 15-20 years worth of history.
Unless you are Ed Woodward then you cannot possibly know how the funds will be used, as for your opening comments it seems you are looking forward to the team performing badly in which case you can join all the other plastic fans over at Man City.
Stick him in the reserves for a season.
The club should pay no mind to fat Riaiola. Let him talk. Unless they come up with a massive fee, he stays. If whomever wants him as much as they claim, they can pay.
The club should not be bullied into selling him for a lower price. Tough shit.

And its also not in the clubs interest to sell its best player is it? My point is if raiola wants this to go as smoothly as possible he needs to shut his mouth for a few weeks while we work on moving his asset.
Still i dont think we will be selling him unless we get 150 from madrid which we know wont happen. Pogba is here to stay and will be happy a month after the window closes.
Are these latest quotes from Railoa real?
Lay off it. Just because he see us as a better team with a top quality players doesn’t mean he deserves to go support City. Stop trying to make yourself seem like the big man.
Only the times reporting it. Not sure if it’s any different to what he’s said last year though when responding to Scholes comments.
I'm so done with this. Let him feck off.
Eh?
implying via his agent to not go to pre season tour isn't cowardly
The guy is disrespecting the club and people still talk like this. Unbelievable. Instead of bringing a good offer if he wants to feck off, he's trying to force us to sell him for a lower price by going full public about it, first him and now his agent.
I don't care much about what we will do without him. He's not intending to leave on good terms with the club (for the second time, ironcially enough). Feck him all honestly.
Nope. This is the Chelsea squad that travelled to Ireland today...

We need to take all the players we can get from Madrid or Juve not cash.
Cash payments never go towards our transfer kitty because the Glazers are so greedy.
He says he is looking forward to us getting what we deserve when Pogba goes, I don't know many fans with that attitude and I am glad I don't. Pogba is acting like a cnut and only a blinkered fanboy would take his side over the team. Don't see that as trying to make myself the big man, just pisses me off that so many here are lapping up the Pogba kool aid after he has shown his true colours.
Christ this is such a pathetic comment.
I'm on your side. Let the twat go.
Is there not a Paul Pogba forum you can post this gleeful take on our supposed demise on?
This comment is embarrassing. I don't see how any actual United fan can think like this, modern fan-boyism at its' worst.
Why the hell are we taking him on tour? If we keep him this season he will carry on being the disrespectful, petulant little tw@ he always is.
He’s a great player but pointless keeping if he wants gone.
Leave him be until someone pays enough for him

150 MILL- I'd take that, I just don't think there is anyway we get even close to that. We have a player unhappy, his performances at the end of last season and his agent have confirmed that. We have 1 club genuinely interested in him, I don't believe the Juve rumours at all. Real or we keep an unhappy player and we've seen how poor he is when he is unhappy.Anything above a hundred, I think we are doing well. Real will leave this as late as possible in transfer window.
This is on Pogba. He wants out of your club. Why would you be glad.
Get this petulant guy out of club I say and focus on moving forward with committed players
Edit: as long as the offer is cash
Honestly couldn't give the weakest half errect toss about how much money we get for this clown and his agent, I know it saves face a little bit but I'd rather just be happy in the knowledge that him and his fan boys have got nothing to do with this club anymore.
The players you will get are at best Di Maria's type of mentality players, and they will be a disaster. Cash is the only way to fleece those clubs, otherwise, they will keep offloading their outcasts to United. And that's not the way it works. Your hatred of the Glazers have pushed you too far on this one, mate.
And United shouldn't. If Real want him bad the need to pay up.
Yep I think his real value is surely around £180m these days, if not more.
Can't see us getting that mind. I actually wouldn't be against players being included in the deal so long as we were very careful to assess their motivations. If they were genuinely excited to come here then sure thing.
