SAF never questioned Pogba's quality as a player, he just couldn't stand his agent Raiola and his way of doing business.

SAF in his 2015 book: "There are one or two football agents I simply do not like, and Mino Raiola, Paul Pogba’s agent, is one of them. I distrusted him from the moment I met him. He became Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s agent while he was playing for Ajax, and eventually he would end up representing Pogba, who was only 18 years old at the time. We had Paul under a three-year contract, and it had a one-year renewal option which we were eager to sign. But Raiola suddenly appeared on the scene and our first meeting was a fiasco. He and I were like oil and water. From then on, our goose was cooked because Raiola had been able to ingratiate himself with Paul and his family and the player signed with Juventus.”

SAF on MUTV: “Pogba signed for Juventus a long time ago as far as we’re aware. It’s a bit disappointing because I don’t think he showed us any respect at all. To be honest, if they carry on that way, I’m quite happy that he’s away, from me, anyway.”

No one is trying to buy the rest of them, so saying I'd take the money for them would be a moot point. Oddly enough this is a thread discussing Pogba, so it's unlikely other's performances are going to be talked about in here.

If you haven't seen the massive drop in form since February I don't know what to say to you, but getting defensive about it is just odd.

He's not irreplaceable and is going to be looking for a bumper new contract in the next couple of years or looking to move on. It's not unthinkable to cash in and move on.

Maybe the team have dropped (and not massively by the way....) in form since their outstanding run of form. That's why it was an outstanding run of form, because it is so rare. I for one didn't expect it to last forever, and that's why I would not criticise things so quickly when they change. If someone had said Pogba would hit 15 this season, I would have taken that.. if we were brilliant, average or otherwise. I take that all day long. How many midfielders give you that. he may probably push for 20 goals this season. Think about that.

And we should look to sell him? Sorry I don't get that at all.
 
If we sell, think it's backward step, ole needs a cm, to improve his game, he's not a player who tracks back alot, he doesn't tackle that much, but he can produce the killer ball, or finish, proved that since ole has come in. So don't sell not for even 150 million plus.
 
Ole's words leave very little room for (mis)interpretation. He's looking to build around Pogba. So, for the time being at least, it matters little what we think.

Precisely what he has in mind is another matter, of course. When Pogba was at his best for Juventus, he had a brilliant playmaker working behind him. Perhaps we need that. They don't exactly grow on trees, though.

I was actually thinking watching Eriksen today, good player, admittedly watching him in a point of bad from but the raving he gets and the Barcelona links......is he anywhere near that good at all? When I think of the likes of Zola, Berkamp, Cantona....all time greats of course premiership wise, but he is several rungs down the ladder than those names, good player, but I really dont get the fuss about him

He doesn't play anything close to the same role. He's a completely different type of player.
 
20 pages of shit over two sentences of a response to a general question. Well done you muppets.
 
Top quality talent but no consistency.

Setting a bad example for the youngsters by talking about Madrid like that.

I don’t trust him and the best bet might be cashing in now. Doesn’t seem as though he’s committed.

This pretty much sums up my impression of Pogba.

Is it me being too old school or are you not supposed to say certain things when you have been made captain even in an acting role? I remember complaining about this during Jose's time too. Can't remember which game but after that match and Jose had tried to say nice things about him (I actually thought he was kissing Pogba's behind too much around that period. Captain's armband and all the Pogba is great comments) after making him captain, instead of rallying everyone together, Pogba started undermining his manager indirectly during the interview after the match.

Here we are again, after being made captain, he goes on a charm offensive for Madrid.

Perhaps there's nothing wrong with his positions if you isolate the two cases but placed within the context of leadership expectations, you just have to wonder.

That was after everything was done, when he was no longer ManUtd player. He tried to retain him, Pogba rejected the contract.

Nothing to do with not being ManUtd quality and everything you posted.

If Pogba is not ManUtd quality then most players we had since SAF retirement are championship quality.

Of course he was happy to see he back of him after not able to agree contract with Raiola.

Happy to be rid of him while his agent had such an influence. He was 18 and from France and so when a charismatic agent comes along and promises instant riches and first team football it is hardly surprising that his head was turned. Did we do enough to convince him to stay at the time? Considering the price we paid to bring him back I would say the answer is resounding NO.
 
Looks like he may be off and if that's the case we should cash in. We don't need players who's heart isn't in it. Not interested in any swap deals with Madrid rejects like Bale. Take the money in the summer and invest wisely.
 
Pogba haters on here couldn’t wait for some news like this. The last 3 months must have been torcher watching him not play like a ‘lazy Donkey’
 
Literally no one but the Madrid propaganda outlets, who think they'll sign every top sides best players, are reporting a any chance of him leaving this summer.

Ole himself has effectively ruled it out with his comments talking up his importance to his squad moving forward. He may leave eventually but there's absolutely zero pressure for the club to sell anytime soon so not sure why it keeps being entertained here.

His contract runs until 2021 with a club option to extend an extra year and we just appointed a manager who he has a great relationship with dating back to his days in the youth squad,he's not going anywhere at the moment.

He makes innocuous comments regarding a french legend while being interviewed and specifically asked by the french press while on duty with the french squad and we get 20 pages of fans losing their shit and endless clickbait from it :lol:
 
I don't think he'll leave because i can't see madrid paying the required fee.

He's been here for just two complete season after the record deal,deep down I think he knows he still got a thing or two to prove here so I don't think he'll be too keen on leaving regardless of that comment he made.
Have to laugh at those saying he's not man United quality though.because if he's not then I don't think any midfiielder since scholes and Keane are United's quality.literally.

You’re not being too old school at all. Players should respect the club and especially the captaincy. He’s not done that on several occasions now.

The story about him wanted to leave OT in his Rolls Royce while the rest of the players left on the bus is ridiculous. That’s not the Man United ethos.

Stay or leave I’m fine either way. The attitude and behaviour just really piss me off and I’m worried we won’t make real progress tried to build a team around that.
 
Can't believe Pogba haters stuff is still thrown around. Apparently you can't say a single bad word about him without being labeled. Schoolyard stuff. I guess those labeling others are happy with him talking about playing for Madrid.
Even under Mourinho I read how he gets United and loves the club and so on..
I get you rarely see players genuinely loving clubs and being loyal but some people are really naive.
 
Take the money and run.


Also hope this post bites me back in the arse
 
If Madrid are offering over 100m then you have to take it. He doesn't look interested.

You don't have to hate him to be unimpressed. He doesn't look like a long term world class player too many games like these. If He gets better then fine but he's not performing often enough and he's not the only one by any means.

Who? All well and good saying it, but what attainable player will come in who has the quality of Pogba?

Not got a who in mind ......but any Premier League quality Midfielder would put up a better show than Pogba is treating us to, his head been turned, cash in
 
Odd player. Can look like the best player in the world one game then a complete passenger the next. If these performances are due to him wanting to play for Real Madrid then we should just let him go, it’s pointless keeping him like this.
