Yeah i checked what it means but in my translation was "United win, City lose"

Did some really think he'd start against Spurs (never mind play as a sub) ? Talk about being overly wishful.
I remember when Jose first arrived and made the World Record purchase, he was asked if Pogba really was worth the money.
I remember him saying that he is worth it and we did not overpay.
Only a year later, we can only guess how much Pogba would cost us, if we were to buy him in today's transfer market.
well its good you had inside information and knew the timescale of the injury.
They are utter crackpots tbf, mate
Yes.
I think some simply expect Paul Pogba to start if he is fit. If he is not yet fit, that is of course a different matter. I don't expect a fit Pogba to be on the bench, so the question for me is whether he's fit or not.
Think the earliest you can hope is after the international break which is another three weeks. Ideally you would want him for Chelsea, but Jose might be wary of France picking him for the November internationals. He might want his fitness to be under our supervision.
Watching that video.
Definately need back up to him. Someone of the same ilk. Someone who is comfortable on the ball and can go by players through the middle of the park. Just opens up so much room. Barkley would be my shout.

Don't think that makes a difference any more. Think the current legislation is that if France believe he is fit, they have the right to select him anyway and have him assessed by their own doctors.
Haha these dudes are off the wall.
Which is complete and utter bullshit imo.
I dunno, I can see why. Clubs will always look to withdraw their players under mystery injuries if not.
If he hasn't played and they play him and he gets injured, I would sue them for every euro they have.

Yeah we should, Goretzka would be my shout

Nah, it's more of an attempt of using common sense. You don't throw a guy back out like on the field, for such a huge match, as a starter, after having missed for so long and because of a muscle injury like that. It has nothing to do with any timescale....
Those are the day of the match, not night before. I know in the case of the Everton match because I was there when they came in.

You honestly think that Barkley belongs in a team aiming to win the title? IMO, he is not good enough as a bench option and would sit behind Fellaini and Lingard in the pecking order.
Everton is his correct level - basically fighting for top 8 or top 10.
You may be correct in some cases but look at the pics for the Palace match. Many of the players are shown entering the Lowry in near darkness. The article even lists the date as Fri 29th Sept. http://www.express.co.uk/pictures/s...al-Palace-sportgalleries/Romelu-Lukaku-292899
If this were a Cup Final, Pogba would start. If he was still injured, he obviously wouldn't, but if he isn't injured anymore, he would start.
We seemingly won't play him tomorrow, but by the looks of it, he could if we wanted him to. The concern is probably more about performance than injury, as he isn't injured anymore.
I think you are using far too much logic here.
This is the caf, where some believe that Falcao was going to score 2 goals per game, when he could barely stand up straight in a MUFC shirt. Or those people who were saying, "Rooney hat-trick", when Rooney was well passed it. Or how about Ronaldo, the reigning Ballon Dor is not good enough to play for us. Or the latest one which is currently doing the rounds: Griezmann will be joining MUFC in January.
DO NOT use logic in this place, for you may be accused of being a crackpot.
I agree but you have just said Lingard is better than Barkley. We're all guilty of crackpot ideas.
Not sure why that would be a crackpot idea. He's clearly well regarded by Mourinho and is also picked ahead of Barkley for the England squad. (That's the Barkley who we could have bought at any time in the last window if we'd thought he was worth the effort - we obviously didn't think he would improve the squad.)
I don't really get your reasoning but fair enough if you think Lingard is better than Barkley.
Personally I agree we need a Pogba backup. Lingard is here right now and shows no signs of being that backup.
Yes.
Sorry, I’ll be amazed if Mou goes for him anytime soon. The thing with Barkley is that he could have a stormer in one game and a stinker the next one. We need consistent performers who are trusted to put in a shift even when they are having an off day.
Barkley is not good enough.
We need to aim (much) higher.

So the Huddersfield result was the only real blip during his time out... and we shouldve won that without him.
Results wise, coped fairly well. The football has been tumescent though. Hope we get our swagger back with his return.

We have missed him and Fellaini.... pogba coming back will make a huge difference to the way we approach games
Pretty sure we will, with herrera/matic opposition had to only stifle mkhi/mata as the main creativity point, with him and fellaini back opposition will have to do something about or central mids too. The simple thing is, his one pass /one shot can change the game from central mid and he also dictates play for us which we do not have another midfielder. Hope he can be injury free for rest of the season and also shows we will need to buy another midfielder to improve upon herrera/mkhi level who deserve to be just back ups at the level our club is trying to achieve.
So is he due back this week? Missed him as much as I feared we would
He was at carrington on thursday/friday, he will make the benfica squad i think.
Still pretending to be a United fan?
