Because people think that France depend on Pogba. They won last cup because of Mbappe and Griezmann. Pogba was passenger. I don't understand how so called "experts" don't see that he is average player. At best.
Carragher is right in lot of things there.
Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't have much choice. After how things have gone the last two years I don't think Real, Barca or Atletico will offer him a contract, nor will Bayern or any of the English clubs. That only leaves the Italian league (which will come with a significant wage decrease and less chance in Europe) or PSG.If he went to Madrid I'd understand, but if it's PSG, he'll be down there with Neymar as quality players that could not handle the pressure of a big club and went to easy street for a big pay check.
He doesn't half talk sense Carragher. Mad how people still bang on about Pogbas 'Undeniable Quality'. What does potential matter at his age?
Redknapp especially is an absolute gobshite and always has been. How the feck he's been on TV so long when his only qualification is "looks good in a suit" is completely beyond me.
I just read an article claiming Pogba wants to talk about his future with ETH......obviously this is because no other club is prepared to pay him what we do.....I hope to God this report is wrong, Pogbas had his chances, and plenty of them, under 3 different managers and has failed to perform; ETH should tell him to sling his hook. In the name of The Holy Trinity (Law, Best & Charlton) just leave, Pogba....just GO!Exactly. Man I hope he goes there and wastes away losing in the C league quarters yearly.
What contract
If he were to stay the problem is whether he'd be a disruptive influence on dressing room. Even if United some how paid him less and he was a squad player he could still affect the mentality of the team.
Many of United's spice boy generation need to go.
Reliable reports have said we've not offered him an increase? If there is it's probably just bonuses based on achievements/appearances/etc.Hopefully he really really ends up regretting not signing the absurd contract we offered him last summer.
Could have been lumbered with him for another 4 years on 350k a week.
Why would he be a disruptive influence in the dressing room?
I hope we don't offer him a contract. The money is better spent on a young and hungry player
If any new contract is performance linked then Pogba will owe us money. We should not even be considering resigning him; hes been at United nearly 6 years and played under 3 managers, and seen them all off, and has under performed every year and for every manager; why do people keep thinking that he might suddenly come good? There is more chance of Martians landing in Downing Street!Reliable reports have said we've not offered him an increase? If there is it's probably just bonuses based on achievements/appearances/etc.
The only words Ten Hag should say are "Go, and dont let the door hit you in the arse on your way out!"I'd imagine it'll be sorted once him and Ten Hag manage to talk
Couldn’t care less if he goes to City, he simply weakens the team because of his work rate, yes he’s great sometimes in possession but he doesn’t read the game that we’ll and won’t buy into Pep’s 3 second rule of wining the ball back, so he’ll be subbed a lot at city, he will only be used as the 6 at city, they play so high up with Centre backs high and only really Walker used as a last sweep up line so city will lose more points playing Pogba rather than Rhodri in the CDM role and be open to being exposed down their left side, it’s why Salah always does well against them he’s so high on the right he’s the obvious out ball, Jared Bowen for West Ham at the weekend exactly the same left footer wide on the right with pace , City weakness Even united exposed this when our strikers were playing well in the previous two seasons, POGBA makes them significantly weaker against good sides and marginally better against average and weak sides so jog on Paul, no one cares anymore !Have to agree - not sure why City would go for him they are past doing things to antagonise us. It did not work out at United for whatever reason, the club being in constant crisis did not help nor did his frequent injuries but he never seemed to player to grab the opportunity by the scruff of the neck. It would appear now his options are limited and likely will include a substantial pay cut, although will likely be offset by a fat signing on fee. While I bear him no ill will, I hope he does not remain at United, we need a clear break from the recent past and another bumper pay day to an underperforming player does not send the correct signal. Frankly we have all expended enough energy on him and I wish him well (unless he goes to City), but off!
I'm not even sure I believe the City link story... just doesn't feel like a Pep sort of player to meCouldn’t care less if he goes to City, he simply weakens the team because of his work rate, yes he’s great sometimes in possession but he doesn’t read the game that we’ll and won’t buy into Pep’s 3 second rule of wining the ball back, so he’ll be subbed a lot at city, he will only be used as the 6 at city, they play so high up with Centre backs high and only really Walker used as a last sweep up line so city will lose more points playing Pogba rather than Rhodri in the CDM role and be open to being exposed down their left side, it’s why Salah always does well against them he’s so high on the right he’s the obvious out ball, Jared Bowen for West Ham at the weekend exactly the same left footer wide on the right with pace , City weakness Even united exposed this when our strikers were playing well in the previous two seasons, POGBA makes them significantly weaker against good sides and marginally better against average and weak sides so jog on Paul, no one cares anymore !
This was a perfect opportunity for you to quote Gloria Gaynor and you didn't. Disappointed.The only words Ten Hag should say are "Go, and dont let the door hit you in the arse on your way out!"
I have a feeling he will sign a new contract here
I'm sure he'll come back and sign what we've offered once he's completed his European whore tour and realises no-one else is stupid enough to offer him what we have
Sigh
Yep have to agree with that but for a free probably thinks they could sell himI'm not even sure I believe the City link story... just doesn't feel like a Pep sort of player to me
Get the same feeling.
New deal. Some quotes about how it's a new start and he's ready to commit the rest of his career to United. And how Ten Hag is the first manager with a clear plan for him.
First bump in the road, he'll get 'injured' and then be speaking to French media about how lovely Turin and Madrid are this time of year.
I'm sure he'll come back and sign what we've offered once he's completed his European whore tour and realises no-one else is stupid enough to offer him what we have
Sigh
