I think it's fair to say that, at that point (and arguably still now), that including Luke Shaw in the LVG-bought-and-sold-poorly debate wasn't unfair. Calling him a fat bastard is something else, toxic, if you will.
Pogba's says his future is at United and has many years on contract
- Thread starter .Rossi
- Start date

Where are these latest quotes that's resulted in the headline change?
Same interview as yesterday, it's just that after the people on here who speak French watched the videos available they came up with a different translation.
Maybe he should start doing his talking on the pitch instead and show why he deserves more money.
Ridiculous though, Sanchez got his salary because he came on a free, Pogba came on a world transfer record. Furthermore he'll never get £405k at Barcelona. We should offer him £405k a week on the condition that Raiola returns his agent fees for the transfer.
Not necessarily. Not everyone speaks French and many wont expect Sky or BBC to insert words that were never said. People tend to believe it.
Twisting one sentence is one thing. Inserting non-existent words into an interview is something else.
Offer him 405k if he sacks Raiola.
feck it, if I'm following a soap opera, I want some sort of storyline to go with it

Translated interviews always end up like this and should always be viewed skeptically. How many times have we seen this happen on international breaks and yet people still fall for it.
This is annoying me too. Poor moderating. Threadmark with the link please.
In this day and age, we should all be cautious about anything any channel publish.
I think he's mostly pissed about Sanchez. He took up his areas of the pitch, his best mate Lukaku and the highest salary. We just need Sanchez to start performing like he did when he was at his peak at Arsenal. Then Pogba will have nothing to complain about other than his own rotten performances and attitude.
If he went to Barcelona and outperformed Messi in all games he'd be throwing his toys out of the pram once more for not having parity.
Agree. But people in general put certain sources to have a reputation and a belief. If the news was only on espn/mail/sun, no one would have believed it.
Right here.
In that clip, he never even says once "who knowswhat will happen in the future". If this whole drama is based on this then you gotta fecking laugh
He said his future is at Man Utd and he has several years on his contract.
I repeat if the whole thing is based on this then this thread is really "special", it shows many of our fans have unhealthy hatred for Pogba
@Paul the Wolf It's fecking ridiculous isn't it ?
I know what’s definitely not fiction, it’s his agent’s twitter rant (or was that a hack too?) and Pogba’s lack of distancing himself from it...

All he needs to do to clear it up is issue a statement saying he is happy at the club and wants to see out his contract.that would end the story.But he won’t do that because he wants to keep his options open.
Personally I can’t wait for him to go he has been a complete waste of space, ignorant, arrogant and nowhere near as good as he thinks he is, get rid of this poisonous ego maniac
Or we grow up and don't meltdown every time a player say something fairly neutral.
No meltdown , couldn’t care less what he did or didn’t say .
I just can’t believe the fuss that is being made about a player who since he arrived has been bang average at best and a liability at worst .
He has more social and media awareness than Ronaldo and Messi combined shame he doesn’t have a fraction of their talent .
We don’t need the Pogba show
Come off it, he knows exactly what he's doing...Pogba could easily stop all the media coverage yet he's adding fuel to the fire. It's possible it's just to feed his considerable ego but after so long, I think it's naive (or at least disingenuous) to claim this circus is purely down to people reading into too much into it all.
Whatever is happening, Pogba deserves criticism for the way he's handling the speculation.
And get another big name who thinks he is entitled to astronomical wages and has a fat agent?? In today's world, it is difficult to find a player who doesn't keep his options open.
I could understand if there is a rift being unhappy playing for Mourinho, but if all this ongoing circus is really just about a payrise after the performances he gives, he can do one
He is capable of a moment of magic in any moment but in terms of elite midfielders, I think he is the only one I've ever seen that gets praised for keeping it simple. Meaning to pass the ball to the nearest teammate without holding it long.
Not going into his quotes, but he needs to up his game.

Ahh the good ol' attitude, the Holy Grail of flimsy excuses.
Not really trying to defend Pogba but attitude must be the shiitiest excuse ever tbh.
You started this thread because you weren't to know that the translation was incorrect.
You have been told by all us fluent french speakers that Pogba never said that so until you produce another video where he has actually said it then I'd suggest you put your agenda on hold until then.
Did you shot mr.burn?
I didnt. Who knows in the future.
Lol

You are choosing to ignore his behaviour after the Leicester game. His constant ambigous statements and hints have become tiresome. You are not only naive but also ignorant.
Think it should count towards his "attitude" as well, that he had no pre-season, trained for a week and still sucked it up and declared himself fit for the Leicester-game as well as playing most of the game. And did so decently. But maybe just wrongly translated quotes goes towards his "attitude".
I'm completely bored of this whole saga. Not going to read any more pogba related crap. Just focus on United and the games. Whatever he decides to do is fine.
This is going to be a tedious saga until he goes isn't it
Of course, let's hope it doesn't completely derail the season. We should be able to get 140m for him next season and hopefully strengthen the team all over. It will work out better for all concerned when he leaves.
I don't know.
I'd still prefer a top quality player who doesn't always show it, then a crapper player who always plays at 7/10
When the Pogba money only buys two fairly average Premier league quality players it won't be great.
I disagree. Even more with those that are asking for the club to comment on crap like this. I for one like and agree the clubs policy after Sir Alex to not comment on any transfer rumours or stuff like that at all. There have been much fewer leaks to the press the last couple of years than before when it felt like even journos like Andy Mitten had direct connections within the camp.
I think its a clear policy from the club (with probably does and should extend to the players themselves) to not comment on stuff like this. At all.
I believe that the one reason that would make the club (or player) go out and comment is if its something really disruptive. And then I mean to the squad, not to the tabloids and the Caf. I would actually be more worried if the club or Pogba for that reason started to come out with some pre-written comments.
We'll have other funds surely, A 250m( inluding pogba money) war chest.how good has Pogba actually been for United? The common consensus is he has been a failure, considering he was a WR signing. We need to get the bad apples out and move forward.
It's a tough game rating players, as it's all about expectations.
Take McTominay. We expect absolutely nothing, so a few headers and a moderately decent display gets him rated.
With Pogba, we know he has world class potential, so unreasonably describe him as a failure as he doesn't consistently hit that level.
In reality, on average he's been "good" in my opinion, but good isn't world class.
I wouldn't say it's anywhere near cutting our losses terrain. It's nowhere near the Di Maria situation
I agree but he has been a disappointment whatever way you slice it.
I'm struggling to remember the last signing that is an absolutely undisputable success to be honest
Lukaku - we all suspect he should score more
Martial - so promising, we love him, still hasn't moved on to where he should be
Matic - good, but the "not mobile enough" talk is creeping in
Ibra? Great numbers, but missed countless sitters, and turned out to be a single season guy.
I am not choosing to ignore anything, there are disagreements between players and manager all the time, but it does not mean that they can't settle things later on. The fact that you believe everything that comes in the media as gospel shows that you are the one who needs to get a clue. I am not the one who is coming here and complaining about how tiresome Pogba is because the media keep making up stories about him, even when there are none.
Everyone seems to be furious about Pogba's comments, which I accept are not ideal but I think people need to relax. I'm hearing the same thing everywhere. 'If you want to go, just leave'. Well for one thing the window is closed so do people plan on slagging him off for the reason of the season. Like him or not, we and the team have him and we need him.
It seems people have moved on (for now on Martial) and switched to Pogba. Let's not forget Woodward will have more of a say on Pogba and Martial than the players themselves. So, just saying 'leave' like Ed's gonna make it easy for him is a bit silly. You all know how Woodward operates. Unless a big offer comes he won't be sold anytime soon.
The whole thing is a waste of energy when nothing can change. He can't go anywhere until the window opens so instead of getting worked up over quotes and comments, how about we focus on the team, club and the upcoming games.
We're all getting hysterical four games into the season. In a month or two from now you all might be singing his praises. We're all fickle like that. We have a big game against Watford next. Bashing players and managers, arguing with fans won't resolve anything. Let's just get behind the TEAM and all the other players in the squad.
I accept Utd is a bit of a circus at the moment. Even when we win there are many off the field issues we need to sort out but I think those are down to the fact the club is badly managed and run. Woodward and Mourinho are at odds with each other and that is having an effect on the certain players. Collectively we're a bit of a mess. Nothing will be resolved overnight. Best we can do is get behind the team.

Can't wait for both Pogba and his twat of an agent to bore off. Sick of hearing the same old rubbish as if it's the Ronaldo situation all over again. Pogba, son, you are very much mistaken if you think you're indispensable.
So people are crying because Pogba said in an interview that his future is at United and he has many more years on his contract
No everyone isn't, some people are furious about comments he didn't make. Those who have an agenda won't accept that he didn't say them.
People seem to have forgot his comments about not being happy after Leicester game, trying to get #pogfeelings go viral, claiming his attitude wasn't right against Brighton even though supposedly he always gives 100%, and then he let Wario piss on a legend. All the while never confirming he wants to stay at the club standing behind him and paying him extortionate wages, but giving cryptic messages on social media and interviews to get even more media attention. Then he has the audacity to claim that he isn't the one talking...
Pogba doesn't give a shit about the club and its people who have nurtured him, nor the fans who have stood behind him. If I wasn't in South America I'd go to a game with a big banner saying "DO YOUR TALKING ON THE PITCH POGBA!", because that's what he needs to start doing. He's been garbage since the Leicester game, and I believe he was only motivated in that game to put himself in the shop window.
