If we really are looking at Savic as a replacement I'd worry loads. He's average as hell.
Pogba Future
- Thread starter wolvored
- Start date
It would be poor and surprising if Pogba started acting up. He should remain professional.
L'Equipe has been terrible lately. I'm sure Perez isn't stupid enough to make such an insulting opening offer. They will offer €120-125m first, and their final offer will be around €140-150m.
I agree pal. Likely as not Pogba and Lukaku will go, if we get the right price. I’d just rather have the money to try and get players who might want the shirt. Maguire and Bruno look possibles and we’d still have money left over, hopefully, for at least one more. I’d sooner that than somebody else’s cast-offs.
His players!!The fat bellend.
New reports are in that Real Madrid will offer €80 million for Pogba and that the Frenchman is ready to go on strike to force the move and not join with the squad on tour.
What do we thing is the right action now? Personally I'd let him rot in the reserves for the rest of the season and sell in January if an adequate price can be negotiated. We are getting totally disrespected by everyone in this situation, it's actually crazy.

Easy.Reject the bid and tell Pogba ,in no uncertain terms, he has a contract and responsibility to the club to get his butt onto the next flight to Australia.
The pre season tour will be a circus surround Pogba. It would be a good idea for Ole to start every single press event with a “we don’t speak about transfers” and just repeat it every time he is asked.
RM can’t afford him, so it is not in United’s interest to fuel the fire in the press.
3 years left on the divas contract, he can sodding we’ll repay some of it by getting United back in the CL.

Pay the money £150m or
give us Kroos plus £100m / give us Pjanic plus £100m.

Its Euro year. Would he risk of not playing? Definitely No.
Relax guys - Real will pay it.

If he wants to go on strike, he should be binned to the reserves.
Then we'll see how he acts.
Disgraceful. We better not go near a Raiola client again in the future.

I doubt they will. But yes, Euro year, he will still need to turn up for us and try to perform.
Been a while since Real have pulled one of these strategies. The old fashioned Zidane, Figo, Ronaldo sagas. Spend months leaking rumours, rumoured strikes, fake injures, then rumoured low bids and gets to a point the player is so unsettled we have to sell. I know other teams have done this but they made famous in 2000s.
Hes gone, just a matter of price.
Agreed.
Our final offer, after we've sold james and maybe Isco as well, will be €120m+30/40m. Take it or leave kind of offer
We'll see what happens. First we'd have to reach a contract agreement with Pogba, which might not even happen if he's adamant about getting a raise

100m + Isco w/Bale on loan and I’d do it.
Dreading how much of an arse we’ll make of rebuilding our midfield though.

I can't believe people are actually surprised by this. The writing was on the wall that this would happen after a couple of years even back when we signed him. I'm sure there must be dozens of posts from back then saying as much, too.
I'm honestly not that fussed. It's not like we're talking about Ronaldo here. The biggest blow we'll suffer from losing him will be commercially.

Obviously he is not the best midfielder in the world or even in the PL. But to describe those stats as poor is ridiculous, even accepting that a fair chunk of his goals were penalties. There is obviously and understandably a lot of Pogba-hate on here because the guy clearly wants out, but he was still by far United's best player last season.
He’s not gone, without the price. Seriously doubt RM can meet our demands. Have a horrible feeling about Raiola’s ‘strategy’ here.
Would you actually want him? When the going gets tough he will be the first player to sulk and shy away. In fact, the reason for la décima and then the continued dominance is because you managed to sign players with real grit unlike so many missed transfers before.
Pogba is going back to ways of old there I think. He will be hated by Madrid sooner than Jose was.
His future is a spot next to Carlos Tevez in the 'wish we could forget this cnut' section of the United history books.
Would rather things were sorted this summer than spilling into the season. It's obvious he doesn't want to be here. The team would benefit more from his role being filled by someone else who wants to play for United and the funds freeing up for other signings.
I'd hate to go into the season with this hanging over us. I'm so sick of him. Tired of constant drama and disrespect.

Surely he's not going on a strike that early ?
If that turns out to be true I'm dead serious when I say send him to the reserve team for the remainder of his contract and ruin his career. If he wants to go out of his way to disrespect the club after all they have given him they better not cave in to his and his scumbag of an agents demands. If he wants to go fair enough but don't start acting like a baby going on a strike after the clubs been giving you quadruple the wages he got at Juventus.
I don't think he'll be that bad. He'll end up in the Paul Ince/Michael Owen section (not in terms of talent but in terms of hatred levels).
Tevez & Heinze are in the top bracket I think.
Can’t we do an agreement to sell him next summer for €150m? He makes a promise to do his utmost to get us back in the CL and leaves with our blessing. It then gives the buying club another year to get their budget ready
Really? You seriously believe that? Good luck mate.
Super glue everything down at Carrington ASAP.
I was referring to the shots on target in that quote. If memory serves from those stats he had around 105 shots last season and 45-50 were on target. I maintain that's hardly impressive for someone of his supposed quality, but you can of course spin it saying he took the most shots making it look a positive
When he rocks up to training next week, what sort of reaction does he get from the players and coaching staff?
Not sure but I hope he turns up rocking and not sulking.
I really hope this latest news is untrue. Suddenly we go from selling once we have the right offer (which should absolutely be far, far close to the €150m mark than 80 ) to having to shackle an actively rebelling player, or selling for far less than we ought to.
) to having to shackle an actively rebelling player, or selling for far less than we ought to.I would too, but Ole openly said he wants business done before the tour, yet we've struggled to get just two players who we had limited competition for so far, all because we insist on low ball opening offers, and we've happily admitted we only work on one deal at a time, so time is not on our side here, yet we have two of our best players likely leaving still, and about four weeks to replace them, whilst still needing to fill gaping gaps that were already there, just can't see how this happens without accepting players in exchange.
I really dont blame him for wanting away from us as a club and so many ofour fanbase .
We are so not an attractive option for any player out there at present on the pitch and off it .
Iv seen comments on here like I cant wait to he gets abused by Madrid fans and then he will suffer .
Hes been our best player and our fans have abused him . Iv pretty sure if he was having any doubts about staying the last game of last season when that knobhead yelled abuse at him for daring to go over to the fans and give away his shirt sealed the deal for him.
Why on earth would anyone like Pogba want to stick around playing Europa league no chance of winning the title and for fans who are going to blame him ?
Now we are debating how hated he will be compared to other players we hate?
Please dont ever let me see a post on here criticising any other teams fans and praising us as we are the disgrace.
Far too many Utd fans clearly can't cope with not winning all the time and have forgotten what it was like before Fergie arrived
We are reactive, not proactive, so that was never going to happen, can see us panicking soon and overpaying for Maguire, Fernandes, and a striker, for £160 million, then Pogba and Lukaku out for £120 million + a player, Woody can play the big man again, and the reported £100 million net spend is proved spot on.
I think he'd be amazing for us honestly
Those stats are not just for the most shots, they cover every aspect of the game. Clearly and by a long distance United's best player last season.
JUST NO.
Nobody gives that much of a shit that's he's leaving. We all expected it. It's the fact the coward didn't tell Ole in May he was leaving. Our transfer plans have been based on thinking he would stay. We've missed Ndomboule and potentially Tielamens because of it.
Pogba had fecked us. Moreover, if he does in fact skip the preseason to Oz that's some serious lack of professionalism.
That's the problem. Not the fact he might want to leave to a currently more successful club.
This latest piece of ridiculous drama (or outright nonsense) is the kind of thing that somehow inexplicably ends with Pogba being a starter in the opening game of next season and the Caf having its umpteenth civil war about whether this is in any way acceptable.
Just put it up a flight of stairs.
