Pogba's contract offer

Pogba is a brilliant passer, undeniable
Work rate? Inconsistent
Tackling? Not great
Shooting? Inconsistent
Heading? Inconsistent
Injuries? Becoming more common as he ages

to me, Pogba will be great in the right team, in the right league. That’s not us and it’s not the PL. he slows the game down too much, gets caught in possession often which usually results in him lunging to try and win it back. Further the team looks unbalanced when he and Bruno play together.

he’s had a contract offer on the table for a year and hasn’t signed. That’s clear that staying isn't his first choice. We should withdraw the offer now and build without him. Good luck to him wherever he goes but it just didn’t work at United.

Sums it up very well, injury prone 29 year old, 400,000 a week, no thanks

The biggest issue with Pogba is that he spends at least half the season injured these days. I have no doubt ETH could probably make use of him in some way or form but he’s become way too injury prone. No point having a player around who is missing half the time.

That's true... but I mean, we are a club that still got Jones and Mata on the books. Keeping Pogba wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

All i'm saying is that if he stays we have no choice but to hope it will work out. Negativity won't help anyone.

There has been talk that he will leave every season since he came back, but nothing has ever came out of it...

No we don't, delusion helps no one.

If Pogba stays and ETH has to shoehorn him into his plans then his United tenure is over before it began.


Need a few more rounds of feck off Pogba tomorrow to remind the board he's not going to get support if he stays.

Fair enough, but if he goes, they must get someone better in the market.

Pretty much spot on.

Firstly, doing this to one of our own players would be shameful. Also, not quite sure how chanting feck off would be a quiet hint.

It's been done already against Norwich. No harm doing it again.

This holier than thou horseshit does make me laugh. He's shit, on an obscene amount of money and has no love for United but people still go all Helen Lovejoy when people want that kind of rubbish gone from the club.

Horrible fan

Fanboying for a player who effectively deserted the team during some of most humiliating defeats ever endured by the club. Sent off at Old Trafford against Liverpool after 10 minutes, skulked off after 5 at Anfield.

You're the horrible fan. The bewitching hold Pogba has over some people wrecks my fecking head.

There's a big difference between wanting a player to leave and the crowd chanting "feck off Pogba" at him.

I agree that he's been shite for us and should leave, but we should show a bit more class than directly booing an individual player.

Having said that, I don't have any problem with the fans booing the whole team at the end of a shite result, which we've had plenty of this season.

He has been used in multiple positions at United and been accommodated a lot. He has also never shown he is world class over a season anywhere

He was the 3rd best midfielder at Juve as well in a poor league back then when Juve dominated. To be fair he had Vidal and Pirlo to contend with but even still.

I'm sure he's already aware that he's not wanted, so I don't think this is necessary.

He's been pushing for a move out of the club for 2.5 years - he's not suddenly going to decide to stay now that he can actually leave on a free. There's no need to force him out when he's already running for the exit door anyway.
 
If he does leave I hope he goes to La Liga. He could be a great player for Real Madrid.
 
If there are no other offers out there and the contract offer from United is still on the table then he'll sign. Fresh start with Ten Hag..........

Doesn't bear thinking about.
 
Wonder how his agents death will effect things? Obviously the agents company was counting on a large signing on % fee.

I'm a Pogba fanboy because I don't agree with shouting abuse at a human being who's not committed an illegal or immoral act? Damn.

I wondered this. Will there still be the outrageous fees involved for all the players affected? Haaland, Pogba ….

I'm guessing that the agent business will be part of the estate and that players are under contract to the agency rather than to the person. I would guess that with figures flying around like these agents have that it should be cut and dried as to what happens if the main man dies and who takes over etc.

You're right. We shouldn't be singling out one player.

There's a big difference from not wanting a player, disliking him and then abusing and even racially abusing him like he was a few times. A few idiots in our fanbase seem to have created this symbol of hate out of Pogba. I'm not an expert but it feels like some sort of mental health issues.

Quite a lot of our fans earn very little and put quite a lot of what little disposable income they have towards supporting their team. When they see a player getting paid north of £200k/week who isn't putting in even close to a shift on the pitch they are very much within their rights to give him some grief IMO. Racial abuse is never OK but general disapproval is fine.

General disapproval was not what I was talking about.

Why does it matter how much the fans earn? If a person earns less they have more right to treat people who earn more like shit?
 
I wasn’t at yesterday’s match, was pogba doing the honour walk
 
I would like to very calmly and respectfully say that I hope I never see Paul Pogba in a united shirt ever again.

I wish him the best at whichever club he plays for next.
 
If the berties take him it will be the downfall of their midfield.

He might look good on youtube and what not, but expecting him to produce the workrate of their current midfield? You're having a laugh. He might do it the odd game or two, or when he first joins, but he will always revert to the mean. If he isn't injured in the process.

I really hope they do pay over the odds for him. It would be the beginning of the end of their dominance.

fully agree. I’m actively hoping he goes there. At the end though I just want him gone. Don’t care where.
 
Think city are just putting this out to get us to spend silly money on a new contract and further delay our squad rebuild.

Like Ronaldo all over again
 
i think pogba is greedy and trying to pull a Ronaldo. No way city is after him
