Because we don't have to sell and Madrid are desperate for him. He can sit on the bench until January and they can take another bash if they like?
Pogba Future
- Thread starter wolvored
- Start date
So 1 fan?
Yeah I bet.
We've lost better players before, it's not the end of the world.
Ultimately the wrong time for pogba to be at Utd with the club the way it is. Good luck to him moving but I hope he fails at real
Real Madrid, Juventus or PSG.
What's happened?
You can no longer get his name printed on the back of a shirt on the official club store.
We won't. Coutinho's performances were better than anything Pogba has done for us. And Hazard's on a different level again, the only difference is the contract length.
He's willing to take a cut in wages to join Real. That's how much he wants to go. We will then need 3 midfielders and have less than 8 weeks to do all our transfer needs.
I hate Juve with a passion. Nearly as I hate Liverpool. However there's no denying that they have a great admin team in place. At least they did when marotta was there
Seeing as we get ripped off on any player we go for, I would rather get a couple of players and potentially some cash.
Disappointing from Pogba as well.

Word in the Spanish press is that he’s willing to accept a lower wage over there in order to play for Zidane.
Sell the fecker, and let's go run and sign a kid.
He said "I think for me it could be a good time to have a new challenge somewhere else. I am thinking of this: to have a new challenge somewhere else.”
Hazard went for 100 million with a year left on his contract and he’s been opening flirting with Madrid for years.
Exactly, he's an excellent player don't get me wrong. He isn't a guy you build a team around though and his "brand" far exceeds his actual ability.
My issue with the whole situation is not that he's leaving, it's my lack of belief in Woodward and Company to do what's necessary to rebuild properly.
Edit: I'm far more concerned about De Gea leaving than Pogba.
This is very true, but we’ve usually been in a healthier position, a position of relative strength. Our state is very worrying.
You had me with the first part.Unfortunately, it is in his best interests to leave with Woodward around. Pogba is many things, but a liar is not 1. The Glazer family are very friendly with trump and are seemingly deploying his tactics of:
1. Install cronies
2. Under invest in the team from structural perspective
3. Sweat the assets
4. Give conflicting messages
5. Cay

Every man and his dog could see that Barca overpaid for Coutinho. Such a sentiment was plastered all over the thread in this very forum. Not a good comparison.
Hazard could reasonably be believed that he'd perform to a good standard if he stayed. Chelsea we're in a good position.
We keep Pogba and what do we get? Another season or two of up and down performances and complaints of the virus "downing tools". Half the fans don't even want him to play. Anyone that thinks keeping him and letting him rot is downright stupid. I'll be surprised if we get more than £100 million for him.
We're fecked either way.
All good it just seems it's kind of Pogba before the club in this instance.
So there is a possibility we ll lose DDG and Pogba while Jones, Smalling, yong, Lingard and co are going to remain here? Niiiiiiceeeee
Well, he is a very good player but he isn't transcendental, there is no reason to lose our minds over one player.
I agree and I completely understand the pessimism but having the best players isn't always the answer if those players are a toxic influence.
I've liked our supposed targets this summer, seems like we've got a strategy and vision for once instead of a scattergun approach we've had previously. I'm not going to get pissed off today about transfers with 50 days left in the window but lets just see how we look and play over preseason before we talk about the sky falling in.
Plenty of time yet to steady this ship.
Pogba’s new challenge in 2012: Juventus
Pogba’s new challenge in 2016: Man Utd
Pogba’s new challenge in 2019: Juventus

They like to live in LalaLand.
I just looked and you're right. You can still get Herrera and Valencia though so I doubt it's the club sending any sort of message.
Time to sell. You can't rebuild with a player who doesn't stop talking. Pogba out and reinvest with likes of rabiot, fernandes, madison, lo celso, tielemans, longstaff, joao felix. Could get a mix of 2-4 of those to replace the circus. Possibly likes of isco also.
To think this is the cnut that got Mourinho sacked. Woodward to blame again, giving in to player power. Players like this mercenary.
Yep, this is exactly what Fergie warned us about.
Haha drama queen, there is no chance glazers are sanctioning his sale unless 180m cash offer comes in.
He is not okay with the pay cut he will be forced to take as a result of a massive half-arsed finish to the season by all these players now wants to chicken out after being exposed in the league.
Always the voice of reason.
I agree patience is needed, if we get to the start of August and things are still a bit of a mess, I think a bit more ranting and raving is justified.
I wouldnt back down from asking price not a single penny less, if they cant afford it, give them whole season to gather money for next transfer window. Also dont understand why some are surprised, you people forgot how we got him.
Absolutely, if we're a fecking mess come the first game of the season there should be mass protests but I'm all in favour of giving people enough rope to hang themselves with. A witch hunt needs to be justified.
So 1 fan?
Good sample size.
I think I see a flaw in your plan.
If he's still here come January, has hardly played a minute, Juventus, PSG, Barcelona sniffing around, Madrid will find that cash from somewhere.
Very interesting if we lose Pogba. Him and De Gea are the only two world class players in the team and potentially both are going.
If we don't buy anyone world class then will this be the first time in awhile that we have zero world class players in the team? We would literally become a team full of mid table players (unless someone comes in that is good and ready, not just potential)
