Its definitely not mistakenly, its been happening far too often
So the quotes aren't as damning as initially reported? What a surprise... 
In any case I'm sick of this topic coming up repeatedly, and he needs to learn to just void questions like this.

But these sort of questions are asked to all players all the time. He did absolutely nothing wrong and nothing different to what any player would have said.
Because it's Pogba and United, you know what the press are like. Don't take any notice.
Seems to be conflicting messages on Pogba's status at United almost on a daily basis. I won't be surprised if he leaves in the next couple of transfer windows, either that or United get a new manager in and he stays. Who knows.
This place is toxic though. The abuse of Luke Shaw was a disgrace.
I hope he proves me wrong this season but this is what it feels more and more like with pogba. That hed be happy for better players to lead a team he can be a bit flashy in rather than be the guy to lead a team. Matic, fellaini, fred, herrera are all players than can give him a solid surround but it seems hes not up to being the main man. So far.
Likewise fellaini who has never deserved it
Perfectly put.
I'm a Pogba fan, he's not having a great start to the season, but 98% of the squad are yet to get going. If he leaves, I'm not going to cry about it! I will be disappointed. Utd have let legends leave or retire here and there will always be someone new coming in. We've had this circus with Beckham/Ronaldo and Rooney to name a few, but we still got on with it. A few players, in the past, have claimed they wanted to spend the rest of their careers at Utd but left (doesn't matter why they left, they just did!). I don't think in the modern game we will ever here or should expect to here that a player will stay at one club for the rest of his career.
What has come to my attention while reading through the various posts on this site, is that some fans are afraid of Pogba leaving. Yes, I said it! The fact is that there is not a lot of quality players out there of Pogba' s ilk. At present he has greater potential than most other up and coming midfielders out there. Are there any psychologists on this site to shed some light?....here fishy, fishy, fishy...bite

He didn't have a preseason, might have something to do with it. I mean he came back and played the first game of the season without even really training.
Damn white text
Why was the thread title changed? Have we got updated, more accurate quotes somewhere?
No, we simply and accuretaly translated what he said
Some people on here who actually understands french, have translated the interview. Not the printed quotes in l’equipe and other papers, but from the actual video.
On the pitch what exactly would we miss if he left?
He did deserve it for some games most definitely, Everton away when he gave the penalty in 90 something minute the one I can remember right away.
Midfielder who can pass the ball for more than 10-15 yards, midfielder who can carry the ball forward too.
Of course he knew what he was getting. He signed because he wanted to be part of the rebuild we had. Pogba isn't stupid. He left an established CL team, a team that reached the final just one year earlier to join a team that couldn't even get past the group stages and even got beaten by midgetland in the EL. But I'm thinking as time has passed he is slowly realising that we are still miles away from where we need to be and winning the WC is when it finally hit home. 'Why should I stay here when I can go anywhere and win more big trophies on a regular basis?'
So it's widely accepted that he said "We'll see what happens in a few months time"
To the point where a French sports broadcaster, in a tweet some pages back, says the German translation is correct
And yet, we have people here claiming he didn't say anything of the kind...
Marital FC went the way of Leeds United it seems

Was calling him an expensive disaster abuse?

"Widely accepted"? You literally have people translating the video telling you he didn't say that.
Well in the video he doesn't say that, so unless they have an other video than the one they provided where he answers the same questions but gives different answers then their translation is fantasist.
This simple phrase is very hard it seems nowadays.
Why is there a French broadcaster saying the German translation is correct?
How do we know they've not just copied the translation? And it's not like French media is immune from stirring shit up.
So what did he say, precisely? Link?
Just because you would love it to be true, it doesn't necessarily makes it true.
We had posters that are fluent in French and that are French doing the translation and he didn't mention that "months" part but rather the future.
People need to judge players on what they do on the pitch, and the words they hear come directly out of their mouths.
If its written, or interrupted, by the press, by all means read it, but just assume its about 1-2% the truth.

I don't know, I can only talk about the video that I saw and that wasn't translated properly.
Yeah, French reporters reports the interview and adds few words, Germans translates it and then French broadcaster says translation is correct. Doesn't mean the initial reporting is correct.
I trust our resident French posters in translating than the journalists.
I don't but, I know what he's like and what footballers are like in general and I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him
Well, no I wouldn't love it to be true. Do you know me personally? Do you know what I think?

But if we can’t condemn people adamantly and start wars based on rumors of lies, then what shall we base our adamant condemnations and wars upon? Like tabloids quoting other tabloids, not to be taken seriously ...
L'Equipe is a trash sports paper. No surprise there tbh
Oil
There is a clip a few pages earlier. He said he is a Man United player now and he still has several years on his contract.
Well, we know what you’re like and what forum posters are like in general (or about as well as you know Pogba, I’m guessing.
We also know what a chain of sports journalists can be like.
Apart from that, all we have to go by is what he actually said ...
That one was good, I’ll hand you that.
