No, it does not. Every player is expected to produce and play to their potential regardless of what was paid in transfer fees for them. By your logic we should have no expectations from Sanchez?I don’t want to turn this into a me v you thing but you are just not getting it....
It ‘does’ matter a lot how much you paid for him.. obviously !!!
What is this? He is surely earning top dollar for the club through the merchandising circus. Assuming you're referring to his output on the pitch, I agree he has been hit and miss.Man Utd or any other team cannot make multiple 100m purchases, no one can... so when they invest that sort of money they expect a top dollar return to be successful..... and it’s quite clear Pogba is not doing it on the pitch as consistent as he should. He is also becoming negative off the pitch also, which is a recipe for disaster.
No English club can attract the very top players in the game if they are also wanted by either of the 2 Spanish clubs.Now if utd, WHO ARE arguably the biggest club in the world were performing to the level of real and Barca then ‘they would’ attract the very best in the game, because they can compete with anyone when it come to revenue but the very best are also attracted to champ league, super cup finals etc... the wage packet comes automatically with the very best. But like you say “the current state” well that current state is simply because your so called star player, the clubs biggest investment just isn’t trying.
It's not that simple even if United get around 100m for him. All signs told us we couldn't sign anybody this summer despite looking to spend. Out of curiosity, how would you propose replacing Pogba?If utd want to challenge to be the best they cannot carry player attitudes and inconsistency like what Pogba displays.
If the likes of ince, Neville and scholes are saying he’s not doing it then he’s not doing it.
I’ll repeat, utd will be better off selling him and reinvesting the money in someone else.
Messi, Ronaldo etc don’t need the manager to tell them how to perform on the pitch, they just get out there and perform. Utds so called superstar doesn’t !!!! Fact..
Except FergieMy point was this poll is ridiculous. The only thing that should matter is the club! No one is bigger
Nope.Except Fergie
Well put indeed. This circus will continue until one or both of them go.Neither. Pogba's problem isn't him, it is his agent. Every 3 years they will come back with wage increase or flirting to another club. He will be exactly like CR but without the deliverable of CR. Mourinho always moan about his problem which you can never satisfy, which is part of the reason of his 3 years itch. No-one is bigger than the Club.
Mourinho is teetering on the edge and won’t last much longer
Pogba is a snake , who doesn’t give a damn about the club or the fans all he cares about is money same with Sanchez both mercenaries
How Pogba can sit back and let his scum bag agent slag off Scholes is a disgrace .He should remember where he came from and what an inspiration Scholes was .Pogba and Sanchez are more interested in being celebrities , neither of them fit to clean the boots of Scholesy
Scholes was on TV as a pundit and as part of their job (the main part) is to give their opinion on players/teams/managers/football. I highly doubt it was a personal attack.Lol
Scholes is the one attacking Pogba on tv.
Pogba was busy winning the World Cup I’d imagine his inspirations might be even better than scholesy
Mourinho & his agent both have contempt for scholes and probably these class of 92 guys who have a different agenda
Sanchez is hardly a flash Harry player on or off the pitch either btw
He’s had an agenda against Pogba and mourinho for a long timeScholes was on TV as a pundit and as part of their job (the main part) is to give their opinion on players/teams/managers/football. I highly doubt it was a personal attack.
I don’t think you’ll find many people who doesn’t think Raiola has a right to defend his player.He’s had an agenda against Pogba and mourinho for a long time
Might be connected to the fact that he’d prefer one of his mates In charge
Might not
But he moans too much and I don’t mind when players or managers give it back
Agents are different but it’s his job to defend his client too
Why?Still firmly in the camp of keeping Pogba over Jose.
Because Pogba still has the potential and ingredients to be a success here, and with each game it becomes more and more obvious that Jose doesn't. He's taken us as far as he's going to.Why?
I can believe what Lee Sharpe heard. It shows on the pitch to be honest.Pogba will stay and Jose will go. The club needs good players and no matter what you say Pogba is a good player. He may have been poor at Brighton but the whole team were. Pogba isn't making the whole team poor. Jose is!
Lee Sharpe was on talksport saying he had heard a whisper from the dressing room that Jose's team talks before the match have got really bad. Apparently he doesn't give clear tactical instruction but concentrates on motivation so the players do not know what to do when they get on the pitch. Strangely enough I saw one of Jose's team talks on Chelsea TV (sorry guys) and he was very focused on telling the players that they cannot lose the match. Of course this was just one part of just one team talk but it seemed to me that Chelsea's players in his last season didn't really have a game plan and towards the end of his time they just tried to defend without creating much up front. The players were confused.
At Chelsea the board stuck with Jose for too long and they lost CL the following season. They sacked him just before Xmas when the writing had been on the wall since the beginning of the season. The bad results just kept coming. 9 losses in their first 16 games and one point off relegation. Utd are nowhere near this at the moment but if two or three losses happen in the next month they should get rid. Chelsea's board knew CL was gone but still backed Jose ahead of the players. Only when relegation became a possibility did they eventually sack him. How the Utd board view such issues is a mystery to me but they are business people and another spell out of the CL will hurt the club.
I'm not saying he's going now but in Jose's world anything could happen.
I’m not saying your wrong or even disagreeing... genuinely interested in why you think that...Because Pogba still has the potential and ingredients to be a success here, and with each game it becomes more and more obvious that Jose doesn't. He's taken us as far as he's going to.
And your comfortable having a player who doesn’t mind undermining the manager?The club should never succumb to the players whims and fancies.Where the hell was Pogba on Sunday?I”m sure that Mourinho told him to play like that against Brighton...Because Pogba still has the potential and ingredients to be a success here, and with each game it becomes more and more obvious that Jose doesn't. He's taken us as far as he's going to.
LOLLol

I’ll hold steady on my view of keeping Pogba over Mourinho. Pogba is on the way up, Mourinho on the way down.I wonder how this poll would pan out right now?
Fed up with the Pogba circus, comments and lack of effort.
A captain is supposed to be the heartbeat of the team, but this one is flatlining.
More trouble than he’s worth.
