Yep time to get as much cash back as we can and replace him. He could easily have made an attempt to explain his position if he wanted to placate the fans. He chooses not to so his silence is deafening.
The beauty of radio I guess mate
Nah. Pogba will leave and show how good he is again.

You only have to look at how many midifielders we'd be looking to sign from Italy to see the dearth of quality there. He stands out when he plays in Italy more than he ever will over here, but thats not to say he isnt a good player. Shame its not worked out but I wont be that sorry to see the back of him, he's certainly not irreplacable.
Yeah I'd like for us get a great fee for him but not at the cost of delaying/ruining other major deals.
Yep. He didn't even directly state if Pogba wants to leave or not, just that “He is committed to Manchester United and only Manchester United until the European Championship this year, and then we will talk to the club if necessary. ". Then why all the bs interviews talking about United and Pogba at every turn? Horrible man looking to steer up trouble between players and clubs and managers to get his overpriced and unjustified agent fees.Just listened to the interview.
Wow you can tell Raiola is an absolute slippery snake of the highest order. No straight answers, throws everything back at the person asking the question, won't commit anything beyond the summer
What a joke of a man.
I'm pretty sure 90% of the Caf put the boot into Jose when the camps were split. Player power all the way. Jose was absolutely right.
Jose lost the dressing room, not just Pogba, due to poor results, bad football and publicly throwing his players under the buss to make himself look better; he was the true virus and we are still recovering from that.
Still recovering from that? I'm of a quite a different opinion. Once Woodward pulled the reigns, Jose hit the self-destruct button, but prior to that, had he been backed, I think we would have improved. Whatever problems we have now are not down to Jose. They are down to Ole and the hierarchy.
Pogba's been great for France in international tournaments, and was a key player in a Juventus side that reached a european final. The difference between those teams and United are that he's not/wasn't expected to do it all for France and Juve.
One of the positives Ole is bringing, he won’t entertain any of this crap, unlike our previous three managers.
When then was a poll here, Caf was on Pogba's side. He was legend then. Captain Marvel who stood up against Mourinho and shit like that.
He's been backed more then any other manager and brought in some ageing players with no sell on value on stupendous wages while managing to lose the faith of his own players; lost the plot when he demanded another CD after already buying two of them but didn't fancy them anymore. Ole will do well to fix the mess but it takes a bit of time. We'l agree to disagree i guess.
Totally agree, an agent wouldn't be so open about this if he didn't have the player's approval, even if the agent is in the form of a cnut called Raiola.
You don't usually hear this much from agents. This creature is the exception. Agree that Paul knows all about this. The sooner he is gone, even just to improve the ambience around the club. I am sick of hearing about him. Get players in who want to be here. In hindsight we were stupid to bring him back.
True about bringing him back, the elements of the story were there though (the return, Paul is back home, etc etc)
He won't care about what we get, just as long as he and Paul get a nice fat chunk of it.
Think the trouble is Paul is not good enough to carry a team. He needs to have world class midfielders round him. Yet Liverpool are showing that if your midfield is a hard working unit they can still perform to a high level.
It will be up to him to broker the deal though. Unless we get what we want he won’t be getting anything.
Agree that we should have got rid when his price was at it's highest and yes some of the criticism has been strange, but he and his agent are exacerbating the situation now. As I said elsewhere in hindsight it was a mistake to bring him back. His agent had not changed from SAF's days, so there was always a problem brewing for the future.
He is a cnut, and why I hate agents like these. Too much power and money is given to these cnuts, Pogba has not said anything and this cnut keeps stirring shit up.Yep. He didn't even directly state if Pogba wants to leave or not, just that “He is committed to Manchester United and only Manchester United until the European Championship this year, and then we will talk to the club if necessary. ". Then why all the bs interviews talking about United and Pogba at every turn? Horrible man looking to steer up trouble between players and clubs and managers to get his overpriced and unjustified agent fees.
Poor kind soul was offended that Ole said Pogba is Man Utds and not Raiolas...the trauma of this modern day slavery must stop.
Of course they are, Mino was and will always be an ahole, who'll cheat, backstab and shit on any club if that benefits his player and having Pogba out of United is all about that. The thing is, there's a good way and a bad way to approach a guy like him. The bad way is sticking your feet to the ground and openly challenging him. The good way is giving him a reasonable price for a player and then allow him to work his magic.
And what is a reasonable price for "the best midfielder in the world" (Quoting Raiola)?
That's something the club and Mino need to discuss. We didn't do any favours to keep that price up tbh. The guy had a magnificent season last year and he got booed by the fans and pundits alike. He then asked to be sold and we refused that as well. Then we played him against Rochdale were he got injured again. Don't take me wrong I don't think Pogba wants to wear the red shirt again and the way he's acting now is despicable. However lets not put all the blame on him.
