Yup. That’s like blaming the symptom instead of the disease.
Pogba Future
- Thread starter wolvored
- Start date
Not surprising, Evra already hinted that Pogba would want to leave. I don't exactly blame him either. This club has a lot of issues it needs to sort out
I'm not so sure he'd sulk, there is an international tournament at stake and he knows Deschamps wouldn't hesitate to bench him if for instance he lost his place and his performances at United. Ideally the club would get an obscene amount of money for him but I suppose it depends on our priorities.
Liverpool managed to keep Coutinho for a few months, he didn't sulk, he got on with it because of the World Cup. My point is that, we cannot predict with any certainty how Pogba would play.
Can you imagine the type of a shift he would put in if we forced him to stay.
Get rid of him, he's polluted the dressing room since Zlatan left. Reinvest the money, we'll be better for it.

We need to get rid of players who don't want to be at the club. Pogba clearly doesn't want to be here. Get rid and get it done before August 9th. Take 130 mill for him and maybe player from buying club.
People saying 180 mill or he can stay as ball is in our court as 2 years left. Why would you want someone in the club that doesn't want to be here. Fans paying money to watch players who won't give it their all for the club.

No I don't think he'd say anything of the sort. His agent knows we pay hamsomly to agents as well as players. All Raiola is after is his payday
Him potentially going on strike won't be much different from his form from March.
Well you're a lot more naive than I thought then.
Nice meltdown.
Oh get the feck off. There's a sizeable portion of our fans that are complete idiots, but the idea that he would get any more support at any other club, after 3 years of utter bollocks, a fairly large amount of under-performance and some incredibly pointless #pogfeelings based drama is nonsense. Non of the other players you pointed out received any less abuse than he did, people shit shitloads on Mctominay, Matić, Rashford and Lingard all the time, nevermind on the likes of Young. Anyone who thinks he was hard done by the fans is genuinely weird.
Pogba fan.
Not really sure if Coutinho was a similar condition. Don't think Coutinho flirted with other clubs or went to the public to openly talk about him wanting a new challenge. He was like "I'm fine to stick at Liverpool but if Barca came with an acceptable offer I would like to live". Pogba is different. He wants to leave now, openly talked about it in public and flirted with other clubs several times. If he asks the club to leave and we forces him to stay, I can only see it ending one way which is another very toxic season.
If he wants to leave, sell, it's x10 better than keeping a player who doesn't want to stay here any longer. I'll trust using a player who's intent on playing for the club than a player who's not interested in the club any longer and just stayed because he's forced to.
All this "we're shite, Pogba deserves better..", "a few fans boo'd him.." stuff is bollocks IMO.
I have no doubt that if we were top of the league with the fans singing his name at every game, we'd still be in the same boat with him looking for a move to Spain.
Utd was only ever a stepping stone for him, to earn a shed full of cash and build his profile.
Now is the right time for him to move on, while his stock is still high. Another year or two of the sort of lackluster, inconsistent form he's shown here and he hasn't a hope of getting a move to the likes of Madrid.

Who is this "World Class" player you talk of? De Gea?
Manchester United certainly don't have any other players who are anywhere near that level.
Yup. We've known he wants out for some time. Just move him on and get the right replacements. Im loathe to seeing the go on until the end of the window
Will you keep a track of his career after he's gone?
Because I don't take it personally that he wants to leave. I mean, people keep saying no one is bigger than this club and no one is irreplacable, but the same people get worked up over a player they apparently do not to rate. By now people should be able to handle players moving on. Rooney, Beckham, van Nistelrooy and Ronaldo. Pogba is one of my favourite players, but if he wants to go, then I won't hold it against him, since we should be able relace him one way or the other, same with de Gea. The problem is with the people in charge, I am not sure we are able to. He would stay, if we had competent people in charge. So if anything I'd blame the board and the Glazers.
Fixed it.
Bye then. As soon as your "new challenge" stump up the cash you can go. What's that? They aren't willing to do that because you failed at your current challenge? Oh dear. What a pity. Nevermind.
Why would he say that? The Pogba transfer has worked out fine as far as Raiola is concerned.
Make a huge amount of money bringing a player to United. Park him there for just a few seasons. Make a huge amount of money moving him on to a club where he'll win things. If you're an agent that's fantastic.
If anything he should be telling De Ligt to use us as a ridiculously lucrative stepping stone. For someone who accused another poster of being naive you seem to think Raiola is bizzarely unmotivated by money.
Agreed. Those saying he deserves better than us are annoying too. Sure most must be on the wind up.
Coutinho wanted to leave and it was reported he was really disappointed when the move didn't happen in the summer. I could have used many other players I've seen over the years, not everyone sulks and stinks the place. I'd agree that if he wants to leave then the club should ask for the highest possible from the interested clubs, if there are no agreements, I don't necessarily expect him to play any worse than he has at times in the previous season.
Glad you found yourself there.
So in a sentence, you think fans blame him too much? No need to use a million words to moan about it.
No you're right, De Ligt's agent tells him where to play
Huh? I'm mocking the poster of that rant.
Anyway, I agree we should try to milk as much as possible from this deal. Money + player swap will be better for us imo than keeping him, if we manage to make it.
The summer is still long and I'm not expecting his drama to end any time soon.
If he leaves who is going to be blamed for bad games? Who is even going to create chances for Rashy to miss?
Even if United receives 150 mil, it isnt possible to buy a better midfielder.

As long as the players involved are good and motivated and not looking for paydays ala Sanchez, this would be a good thing potentially. Knowing our club, we'll drag this uncertainty till the last few days of the transfer window driving fans mad all summer
For every fan that's 'abusing' him, there's another blindly defending him. To be honest that ratio is probably being extremely kind.
Again, this our our supposed leader in the dressing room openly angling for a move away, all his own doing. It's unhealthy, no matter how you view his talent.

I don't care if we end up in 10th for a season, but we need to be rid of anyone who doesn't want to play for us, or is not good enough.
He will force the move, already done that. And if we don't let him he will sulk and play like shit so no choice imo.
what kind of rhetoric is this.
I’m saying our ‘fans’ should show some support for ‘our player’.
I’d forgotten how futile debate on forums can be.
My post is pro-United above anything else. Sell the lesser players & keep the good ones. I could care less about ‘Ine of our own’ & such rhetoric.
He is our best player, you don’t improve by unsettling & creating an atmosphere of animosity with your best players whilst other less gifted players collect huge wages & underperform to a greater degree.
Great input. Again not reading what’s been posted but being so anti-Pogba that keeping worse players is a positive.
You’re not actually making a point.
Matic & Fred are our 2 most established midfielders once a Pogba goes. So we sell Pogba & buy a replacement. Say Fred doesn’t play & McTom does [& i like McTom] the point remains they’ll be playing A LOT of games & aren’t better then Pogba so we are weaker.
Matic & Fred are not in instead of Pogba, they are currently 2 3rds of our ‘best’ midfield.
Pogba wanting to leave is reductive, given the atmosphere created of course he wants to leave. I think had the club had a better atmosphere then it doesn’t come to this.
If Matic & Fred aren’t starting who is? The midfielder/multiple midfielders we haven’t actually signed yet? McTom, Andreas, another youth product?
You can say bullshit all you like you’ve got no substance, what ITK do you have that selling Pogba gives us a brand new midfield cause that isn’t happening.
On the caf, even if I don't have exact stats, I'm pretty sure there are more fans "abusing" him than "defending" him. It's not even close.
Which player in Madrid will be worth it in your opinion ?As long as the players involved are good and motivated and not looking for paydays ala Sanchez, this would be a good thing potentially. Knowing our club, we'll drag this uncertainty till the last few days of the transfer window driving fans mad all summer
World class-players under contract wanting to leave. If we can't find adequate replacements for him, he'll be here next season no matter what Raiola wants. Finding someone good enough to replace him, and that wants to join this current mess is going to be extremely difficult, unless we've been working with this for months already.
We can keep him for one more year without his value going down. It's pretty clear he wants to leave. So it's a matter of when we should sell him. I want him to stay because I'm not sure whether we'll able to bring in any player to replace him.
Would Ole sell a virus to Real Madrid let alone Fergie?
This is going the saga of the summer.

Euro 2020 is coming up. Relax. We say our price, give Real a deadline or he stays. He won't play shit because he'd get dropped from his national team.
