Pogba's contract offer

dove said:
Which club would realistically be stupid enough to match those wages? PSG possibly the only option. All other options would require him reducing his wages significantly I would guess because he hasn't exactly set the world alight during his tenure here.

Completely agree, but I'm assuming that he and his team thought he'd have loads of clubs knocking down his door for 400k+ a week, but he can't even get them to offer him 200k a week plus a decent signing on bonus (say 20m for a free transfer) - which would work out at roughly his current wage.

He's probably been offered 200-250k a week all in, which even then its too much, but hey, he's free so he may get that much (which is still a pay cut).

At the end of the day, his main asset is the fact he's a free transfer, and that should hit him like a train.
 
Brilliant news if true. Our only good midfielder might stay.

No wonder fans are unhappy about it :confused:
 
Due to current events I'd be shocked if Pogba could wipe his own bum.

Offer him £10k pw and some magic beans.

Let's see if he takes it.

I won't lie, if we give Pogba and Lingard new deals, any excitement I have for next season with Ten Hag arriving will go out the window.

We'll find out over the next month or so if this club has really changed. I'll go out on a limb and say it hasn't.
 
I’m sticking to my guess that Pogba has already signed a contract somewhere else. That interaction he had with the booing fans at Old Trafford the other week doesn’t suggest he is going to be playing here next season.

He has a flashy long pass on him, but his short passing is actually pretty average compared to top midfielders. He also gets caught on the ball way too much for his passing ability to be worth it. This is all ignoring the fact that he has some of the worst defensive awareness of any supposed central midfielder.

I don’t know about that. Incredibly dangerous player to have in midfield when the other team is in an attacking transition, he is ridiculously slow, so slow, yeah he can pass but he’s far too inconsistent and injury prone so the cons hugely outweigh the pros.

We need to move on from Pogba, he’s been a failure, seriously, time to move on.
He’ll be a baller again in a slow league like Serie A or staring against Albania or Finland for France or something.

What’s his actually wages at the moment is it £350,000?

No he's on around 290k/week. Going by DiMarzio, we're offering him roughly that amount again and other teams are trying to get him for less than that. No improved wages so the talk of 400k or 500k seems to be overblown.

This will be sorted at the end of the season when ETH talks with the players at the club. If he wants Pogba to go then Pogba will go.

I keep my fingers crossed that he is leaving.
If nobody offers him £400k or whatever the offer from MUFC is, he may stay, in which case, we are screwed.
This man has rarely put in good performances for us and needs to leave asap. I'd push him out today if I could.

Lingard is definitely going.
If he is forced to stay, I wouldn't put it past him to go on strike.

But like you said, I don't believe the club has changed. I think we will continue to hang onto deadwood players like Jones, Pogba and Lingard and beg them to stay.

Except when he is on the pitch in a United shirt

If you trust Ten Hag then you should trust his signings and the players he keep.
 
If he stays hopefully Ten Hag can solve the pogblem. He's still our most technical player in midfield and the best when interested.

If we become a system team and give him mainly creative and offensive duties he might recover his interest and hunger for winning.

I wouldn't put this season as a parameter as everything has been crap and everyone is unhappy and unmotivated. Only Ronaldo keeping his head up but that's because his mentality is out of the norm.

If Ten Hag is as good as people say he is surely it's on him to fix that

Not really. Pogba has had what, 6 years and 2 different managers to give him his chance?
He allegedly wants 400k a week to stay. What’s he shown to deserve that? How do we get rid of him if the next manager also can’t get consistency out of him? It’s time to forget about him and get the balance of the team right

Plus I imagine we would be stupid enough to offer him a long term deal.

Liverpool don't want to do this for Salah, a far better player, out of worried they will be left with a high earner who is past his peak.

He can have the benefit of the doubt until he makes clearly stupid decisions.

Jose and Ole tried to build their teams with Pogba at the heart of them, and both got royally fecked over. If ETH can't learn from their mistakes then he's destined for failure here just the same as they were.

It would be different if Pogba had 2-3 years on his deal and we couldn't shift him. Then it's fair enough to give him a shot in a new system. But to trial Pogba in an ETH team we have to offer him £350-400k a week for god knows how many more seasons. That's a £60-80m gamble on a proven crocked failure. Only an idiot would do that.

I agree on Pogba and want him gone.

But if Ten Hag thinks he can get him playing like on France then i would trust him.

I would rank him as one of worst and should be behind pretty much every central midfielder. I would rather have Mata playing defensive midfielder than Pogba. And as attacking midifielder he is way behind other players.
 
People really don’t know ball anymore if you think Pogba is our worst midfielder.

Idiots lying to themselves because he and the club have been badly managed since his arrival.

Pogba still our only WC winner and might have another by the end of the year.

Telling people they don't know ball then claiming Pogba is the only WC winner we have when Varane and Mata exist...

I really hope we give him a huge raise and sign him for another five years just to see the meltdown on here.

If we give Pogba another contract then the club will be in melt down too.
 
Most United thing ever was him sabotaging his own fitness in a contract year. Was Dubai really necessary? He could have at least kept his conditioning up while he was there. He must have cost himself a lot of money at his next club. Couldn't even sacrifice for his own long term.
 
As a few others have said, if he’s got this offer because commercial directors believe they need to keep his brand then they can feck right off, same shit different day. If they’re making the offer because ETH has said he wants him in the team and he thinks he can utilise him to the benefit of the club, then go ahead.

If you knew what people in here have in coaching way (level of licence) and sport CV you would not talk like that. So my advice is that you stop saying we are idiots. We don't need to lie. Everyone can see what he does and doesn't on the pitch.

David May is both Champions League and Premier League winner but you wouldn't say that he is better then some centerbacks we had last couple of years.
 
If we intend to play 4-3-3 formation it may work . If we intend on playing 4-2-3-1 just let him go

What a terrible comparison. France have been far better run than United over the past few years and they know how important Pogba is and more importantly how to use him.

Just because we have been mismanaged since he came and wasted his best years people seem to delight in blaming it all on him.
