Pogba's contract offer

My abiding memory of Pogba is a player who strolls around, acting like he's the best player in the playground, whilst trying non-stop to play little chip passes, that only come off 50% of the time.

Oh. And a player who has missed 90 matches in 6 years.

He's the Clark Kent of football: For Manchester United he's a spectacle wearing nerd who would end up in ER if he breaks a nail. Once he enters the phone box, he comes out wearing his France kit, and he can take on the world.

City absolutely didn't want him. He's as much of a Pep player as Haaland.
 
My only worry is that we re-sign him. If this happens, he'll take up a squad number, will rarely play and will take up wages we could be using on a useful player.
He has been one of our worst players over the last 6 years. For me, he is the poster child for our worst period in the modern era.

We'll likely buy some more CMs this Summer and next. The problem with Pogba is that he is completely useless. And I mean totally useless. In 6 years, he's had about 5 good games. That's less than 1 good game per season. No player should be on our roster when they have only 1 good game per season.

I rather play with 52 year old Ronny Johnsen instead of him. I rather play with 10 men to be honest. Him and couple of others are why we are where we are. Players that cared more about their own reputation. Team came in second hand.

I wish him all the best in Juventus. Or where he ends up. We will be better team without him.

Exaggerate much?

Pogba has been poor the last two seasons. Before that he was an inconsistent player in a group of inconsistent players, but was probably less inconsistent than most and was arguably our best player over the course of those first four seasons as a whole.

It doesn't matter when Pogba is giving less than 50% of his abilities whenever he plays for us.
 
Jose was right about Pogba.
What an awful signing. Good fecking riddance.
This is why you don't get involved with footballers who care about more about their brand image and social media numbers than football
 
I honestly can't even believe he spent 6 whole years here.

Aside from the first 1.5 seasons, the rest of his tenure has been mostly completely forgettable.

6 years and he didn't leave any mark at all. Kinda ridiculous.
 
I'll say it again but in different words.

If Pogba committed to knuckling down and put in a proper shift match after match, I'd keep him in a heartbeat even at $300k/week. Although he's a defensive liability, the man is a beast with the ball -- but only when he's up for it. He'd be one of the first names in my PL XI, but my god he's nowhere near being worthy of it because for whatever reason he just never gave a shit after the first season under Jose.

Better the rip the bandage and be done with Pogba, but what a shame such an extraordinary talent rarely ever showed up on matchday.

Scored in a European cup final.
 
Juve are smart and have “bonuses” in there so that he turns up to play. Otherwise he would miss most of those 3 years.

All the best Juve.
 
This thread should be locked.

Pogba is leaving United. The matter of his contract will be between him and some other club that's not United.

The thread in the Transfer Forum should suffice.
 
He's lucky to be a part of a great international team because his club career has been a joke. All the best Paul, thanks for wasting everyone's time including your own.

Why should he owe the club anything at all? If he doesn't want to stay why would he jeopardise that by signing a new contract just so the club can get some wedges for him.

Fans have treated him like shit the second he arrived, despite being one of our best players by a country mile, think he'd be glad to see the back of the supporters more than the club.

Look at how he's treated on here.

We've let him down by the way the fans have treated him, it's disgusting.

He’s the best on paper but in reality he’s been pretty poor for United over the last 5 years. On paper he looks great but his performances have been anything but. He’s flopped at United and we paid 90m for this guy. He’s shown a complete lack of respect to this football club many times over during his stint. He was one of my favourite players and I spent £100 on his shirt. Not at all bothered he wouldn’t renew and now, I feel we can finally move on from the circus he brings. Good riddance.

Agreed
 
Have no dislike for him. Seems a good lad, but disappointing how it turned out, feels like he their at the level he should be mostly average performances.


Very frustrating for us.

We never got anywhere close to having any top class midfielders with him to play alongside. He's not worked out though.

Isn’t he supposed to be one himself? With pogba, the excuses for him are endless. It’s always him not being played with the ”correct” formation, tactics and players.
 
Thinking about this, I think Juve might be a bad fit for Pogba. They play stale, slow football with no pace out wide, not too dissimilar to United under a lot of Pogba's time here. Having Vlahovic up front as an outlet will help, but they don't really have any good wide players.

That said a Rabiot + Zakaria midfield would provide him a good amount of running and defensive solidity he's not had at United.

I know people say PSG don't need another lazy player, but against the best teams what PSG have lacked is a deep passer. Too often Neymar and Messi have to drop too far back, you want them further forward. Especially with Mbappe, he'd feed off of Pogba's through balls all day long. Verrari, Pogba and one of their 10 DMs would be a pretty solid midfield.

* Caveat that they get the United 2017-2020 / France version of Pogba and not the lethargic version we've seen this year.
 
when does his contract actually expire so we can close this discussion for good. He's been a waste of time and money. He might shine elsewhere but turns out (no real surprise here) SAF was right about him all along

Today I believe as it's the last day of the season. Isn't that how most contracts work?
 
Can anyone help to de-confuse me please, if anyone wanted to sign Pogba this summer, who would they be negotiating with, seeing as his former agent died recently??

Would there be no agent fee involved, or has he got a different agent now, if so, does anyone know who it is??

He can do it however he wants, himself, his mum, a lawyer, an other agent and from meory Raiola wasn't working alone nowadays.

Of course he can do however he wants, however he seemed to be heavily linked with Raiola, especially contract negotiations, so I was just wondering who is doing all of that now for him, that was all.
