Because he's quite good.
Pogba Future
- Thread starter wolvored
- Start date
Is there's any truth to the reports it's more Zidane the Perez.
Also a Ronaldo-less Madrid have been playing in front of crowds as low as 45k this season, often around 45-55k even with Zidane back. They probably need some big names for the fans to get excited about next season to take on Barca.
He's also a world class talent that needs top players around him. Only time we had that was with Ibra. He's playing with dross here.
He is gone, we have fecked it.
Where's the proof of this been the last 2 months?
Has all the attributes to be world class but sadly no brain or desire to match.
What is there to lose by selling other than we probably wouldn’t replace him properly.
Like most things with this club I don’t really care but Pogba will decide what happens. No way does he sign a new contract now so his price will only drop.

Wow, I didn't realize that. Talk about fair weather fans!
At least there he'll have a good player behind, in front, left and right of him to prove his worth and shove his quality. And won't need to prove he's a complete midfielder.
And 10th place.
Remove 10-15 goals and 10-15 assists from this team and we're struggling for 10th.
Because he's a great player
I ask again where's the proof of this been the last 2 months?
Add those to other areas of the pitch and more steel to the spine of the team and we might be struggling for a title or thereabouts.
Comprimising the shape and solidity of the side for Pogba is an exercise in futility.
Steel and spine? Oh goodness... here we go again. Someone who plays for the jersey! Someone who never stops running! Someone with heart! Lets ask Liverpool if they are willing to sell Henderson and Milner!
I feel you, I really do, but we're missing so much quality all around the place that it will be a serious gamble to let Pogba go and trust that we can get in a few players that can cover for his contribution.
Have a look at the league table.
I’m no big fan due to his continued flirting with other clubs, but to suggest he’s not a wonderful player is very disingenuous.
Henderson was working hard for Liverpool when they were shit. Liverpool got good when they added quality football players like their front three. Mané, Salah and Firmino. Manchester United fans want the only good football player at this club to be sold and replaced by hard working players.
Good players who do special things make the difference and win games... not hard working boring players. Pogba does special things which can win his team the game. He just cant do it all by himself (eventhough for some reason that is what people seem to expect of him)
I'll take Liverpool midfield over ours any day any time.
Yeah and Pogba has won a lot more than the likes of Henderson and Milner.
You cant be serious... i doubt Rashford will even get the chance to miss chances if that was the case.
Liverpool tried to improve their midfield with Keita.. i bet they would love Pogba in their midfield.
When we line up with a midfield of Fred, McTom and Matic quite regularly next year, with Perreira rotating, I hope the pashun involved satisfies people!
You think they’d do any better with our attack?
It would be interesting actually.
Swap our midfields over and see what team wins.
Pogba would probably complete their lineup.
Thank goodness we're not shipping him there.
Liverpool midfield here will make us 8th/9th place team.
Love that "also" thrown in at the end, when that's the ACTUAL reason they'd want him.
I'll definitely take a midfield that actually bother to run, press and move the entire game. Our midfield trio may have more talent, but they're lackluster and lazy, immobile and hardly press or run. There attackers aren't suffering much from having a workaholic midfield that does all the dirty work even if they don't create much.
I don't get how people can still think we have this and this better than a team who's close to 97 points in the league. They're up in the table with so many points for a strong reason, and can't be down for 1 or 2 players only.
They have a better squad than us. A squad that's actually functioning and working properly even without big names. The only thing that make others believe otherwise is because ours is overrated and overhyped, bunch of names with barely any effort on the pitch, no thanks. I'll take Liverpool midfield any time. Football isn't about making a gallery of some good names even when they're barely producing any effort.
Their attack, defense and fullbacks are also very far ahead from us.
Why does he never (or rarely) grab a match by the scruff?
Is it not in his mode? Is he not capable of such? Is he bored and lost amidst a sea of shit?
Today, amongst dozens of other matches, was when the likes of Keane, Robson, Vieira, Zidane, Gerrard (with/without starfish), etc. would take control and dominate.
Does Pogba require other top tier supporting players to shine week in, week out?

Yes. He's just not good enough to be the main man. He's the 6/10 man who's performances are covered up by the better players around him. He's not the 9/10 man that makes others better
He just needs to score more goals and won't look as bad. He is a unique kind of talent who can seemingly do everything, but needs a stable, productive environment to shine. No doubt he will look amazing at Madrid or Barca, so its no wonder he's thinking of moving before growing old playing in the europa.
Top clubs usually have a whole 11 of top tier players and maybe a few on the bench. No top club relies on a midfielder to have Roy of the Rovers performances every match.
He isn't capable of that nor Zidane, Robson or worst, Vieira and Keane.
He will not waste his best years at United playing EL and finishing 30 points behind City. It just does not fit his self image as a galactico.
So he is probably gone together with Herrera and, hopefully, Matic, which would leave us with a complete midfield to replace.

None of those players had dross around them like Pogba does. The minute Keane realized he had to make do with playing alongside Fletcher, Daron Gibson and a young and frustrating Ronaldo he went apeshit on that MUTV rant because United were playing second fiddle to Chelsea. How do you think Keane would fare in this united squad?
Well feck him then, see ya later I say
Fletcher yes but Gibson was nowhere near the first team squad yet, about two years away in 2005. They had the likes of Miller, O'Shea, and Richardson out there in midfield at times. Keane more than once took a match over even when his top class mates were playing like shit. I've read on here that Robson did it frequently in the 80s despite playing with lesser talents.
Keane with this pile of shit would likely loose his head on the pitch. But there would also be times he'd take over the match and will his mates on. It's not like there's zero talent out there, there is some talent out there amidst a sea of shit.
I got it wrong over Gibson but you get my point, Keane was frustrated at luck of quality signings in those days and took out his frustrations on young players. That wasn't showing leadership. He took over matches with better players surrounding him though, he always had it good in that respect.
So in Real he'll take games by its scruff cause he won't be surrounded by dross? That I got to see.
Pogba doesn't ooze leadership at all though.
His WC winning NT coach and mates say otherwise
