I'm not sure about this Raiola guy being his agent. SAF has said Pogba's changed his agent a few times and Raiola was first mentioned as an advisor to Pogba's camp.

It's a bit weird that Fergies suddenly been a lot more open about the situation in the last few days, either he's trying to hurry it up or he's getting a bit sick of him. |

That quote about Rio and Pogba is suspiciously similar to Fergie's BBC interview. The one he never finished. Wouldn't put it past them to just add a tame, tidy ending to the quote so they could use it.

I dont consider losing Morrison as any sort of kick anywhere. That player very clearly is far more trouble than he is worth. Glad to be shot of him. He didnt fit the team culture and where ever he goes will cause problems.

I meant more in the sense that its kind of annoying that its happening, but he's only a reserve player so its not the end of the world. When Rooney and Rio, and to an extent Keane did it, it had a hugely negative effect as they were more prominent figures, and it must hurt the team to see one of the leaders of the team seemingly wanting out. And whilst I agree with your point, there's the danger of looking like a selling club if the Ronaldo scenario repeatedly happened, look at Arsenal or what Tottenham used to be |

We probably have to stretch our budget if we are going to keep Pogba. Right or wrong only future will tell but if we don't do it other will. |

I would love to see Pogba start, I would have picked him except I didn't think Fergie would take such a risk considering our luck this season.
I wonder if he won't start with Carrick to give him an older, steadier partner than Cleverley, but Clev needs a game just a badly as Pogba. |

I was being defeatist, I hope he does start. I can't think of any player who needs a game more under the circumstances. |

Maybe Fergie was really keen to say it after he was cut short in his BBC interview. If it's taken from the BBC interview then they have clearly guessed at what Fergie was going to say next about it. |

If a player no matter how talented doesn't wanna sign a good contract then he can fuck off.I'm not surprised that Pogba is looking for his interest though, he did the same at Le Havre.Players have very little moral or respect for their clubs, it's all about them.

It's not just morals they lack, but common sense too. At a club like United, and with so much talent, it doesn't take a genius to realize the financial prospects you could have, if you just think further than the next paycheck. The money argument is just as stupid, if he was to achieve the quality he obviously thinks he has, then he would be rewarded by the club anyway. When you've made it to one of the rare major clubs like United, money should never be an issue, it's obviously going to come if you're good enough, especially at his age.

Is that earlier ManUtd.com post just a contraction of what Fergie said in the ESPN article above? I ask because the former implies that the "it's possible" is in relation to him staying, whereas the latter puts it in the context of him playing tomorrow.

if he wants to go let him go. He hasnt kicked a ball for the first team and he wont be missed.
However this whole thread is based on rumour of what someone said or didnt say. We should wait until soemthing is confirmed before crying. |

If he's supposed to be so promising then why isn't he getting more playing time? The class of '92 lot got more time on the pitch at the same stage and weren't as physically developed as Pogba.
Morrison was a wrongun, but this lad isn't. |
