People believe what they want to believe.

Personally, I believe there are legs to the rumour about him wanting to leave if Mourinho stays and events will bear this out before the end of this season.

I don't expect either of them to be at United next season.

Pogba can say what he likes within reason but he is going to be judged for it. He isn't an idiot, his agent isn't an idiot, they are worldly wise and know how to say something that will dampen down speculation and what to say to increase it.

If he is happy and wants to stay that's all he has to say - nothing else. If he hints at something, suggests something or alludes to something he KNOWS it will be all over the media within minutes.

My biggest issue is that despite having all the tools to be immense this is all being played out against a backdrop of averagely decent performances and poor results. If he was flying through games leading us to win after win and turning in majestic performances then that's one thing but he hasn't come anywhere near justifying his signing for us yet so to be appearing to be courting the possibility of a move with so much "unfinished business" does leave a bit of a bad taste. If he would just get his head down and get on with actually trying to play the best football he can I for one would be far more impressed.
Wish this was true.

I can see the benefit of putting up with this kind of weekly speculation which I think is unsettling IF you have an up side of very good or great performances on the flip side. With Pogs for us I'd struggle to put him in the top 7-8 midfielders in the PL....performance wise....not twitter following. Least with Becks you got a absolute gold standard professional sportsman and SAF still booted him out the back door.

Not really. Most of it is wrong. I love how he calls Scholes, a club legend, just a pundit who has nothing with United currently. Scholes will forever be an United man. Pogba will probably just be one of the players who wore the shirt.

Most people just want him to shut up and stop with the shit stirring. As @kouroux says he can easily dock the questions but he chooses not to.
But that Scholes bit is correct is it not? He has nothing to do with United currently so by his fat cnut of an agent to insult Scholes, it does not equate to him insulting United the club. I'm not understanding the logic behind it. Is it that any club legend that gets insulted equates to insulting the club? I don't think so. If that is the case, didn't Mourinho insult Scholes? And if that is the logic we're using, doesn't that mean Mourinho insulted United?

I'm on Scholes side obviously over Raiola. Think Raiola was overly sensitive and his insult was childish, but his insult has nothing to do with United the club and I feel it's natural that he sticks up for his player/client in Pogba. Because I understand his loyalty to Pogba or rather his loyalty for Pogba to make him money, I see no reason why Pogba wouldn't be happy over Raiola's actions. Whether you disagree with him or not (like I disagreed), you have to admit that there is no reason for Pogba to reprimand him over Scholes.


BTW, I don't see how that is wrong. Posters have clearly pointed that out whenever they're having a go at Pogba.

I'm just taking Sholes side over fat cnut ones. I guess Pogba us is happy with Raiola. The same Raiola who was offering him to Pep as early as February. Pogba can be happy with his actions all he likes but we as fans can't be.

As I said, Wayne Rooney, a club legend and football legend, got way more grief for a lot less than this lad

Some disagree with it but, I have my own theories on why there appears more of a defence for Pogba
A lot less? He said the club is not ambitious enough and wanted to go to City.

That's how I feel. I can't stand Raiola. I just don't think his comment towards Scholes, reflects badly on Pogba's future with United.

He never said he wanted to go to City, that we know of publically

Pogba, with his consent, was offered to City by his agent, we know for sure

Wayne Rooney has also given us a hell of a lot more than Pogba ever will
Does your constant melting down somehow give you future telling powers?

Wouldn't class not having my head buried in the sand as a "meltdown" but, carry on.

Your prerogative if you believe Wayne Rooney's contribution is less of what Paul Pogba has given us and will give us between now and the end of the season/January

None of my business

:lol: you don't need a fortune teller to tell you Pogba most likely won't give as much as Rooney.

Rooney at 18 was twice the player Pogba ever will be. You can quote me on that and chuck it in the quote me thread.

Im thinking this way too.
Paul just seems suited to being in a dominant side that allows him to get away with so much more, he has never struck me as a Utd player.
He doesn't want to be in midfield battles v Burnley, he wants to be dabbing v Alaves with matches against out matched opponents every other week.
I think he's gone with the funds being given to Zidane next year.

Sell Pogba and Martial (disgruntled players), give Jose the money he needs to get the players he wants, back him fully to have complete control over the squad and he will deliver the league next season. I will place a bet on that.

Rooney as a teenager gave us in his first 3 seasons more than what Pogba gave us already in his prime. How can a United fan disagree with this ?
Pogba has been here for two years. Simply nobody can tell what will happen in the future if he stays.

Wait, you mean the same Paul Scholes that fans were slagging on for criticizing Pogba last year as a pundit? I'm sorry this just a bunch of moaning from a disgruntled fanbase looking for a scapegoat. It seems to rotate between Pogba, Mourinho, and Woodward.

Most of it is dead on. Truth hurts if you fall into that bracket.

No need to wait for the future because I'm already comparing him to teenager Rooney in his first years here.

And Pogba isn't going to stay here for long term.

I think you'd have to be very naive to believe Pogba sees himself here long-term.

We will see. It's obvious he's playing the same game he played when he was preparing to move from Juve.
I'm not going to say you're wrong. I'm just saying you don't know.

Though I think you’re right, no one can say that for sure. Just look at de Gea, no one would have said he would still be here in 2018/19 after the summer of the fax.

We can't honestly be comparing Rooney's contribution to the club with Pogba's?
Unbelievable isn't it? Somehow the people who don't think Pogba will contribute more than Rooney are seen as ridiculous and 'future-tellers' :lol::lol:

Yeah, come back to me if Pogba helps United towards a single PL title, let alone 5 like Rooney. Pogba's contribution in his 3 years here so far are a mere skid mark compared to Wayne's. And he got more shit for less from the fans.

Not thinking Pogba will contribute as much as Rooney did is not the same as stating conclusively that he will not. The idea is that no one knows what will happen in the future. I too don't think Pogba is gonna contribute to United as much as Rooney did, but I do not know for sure.
