If he ends up being stripped of it, there's three contenders right for the club captaincy, right: Bruno, Rashford and Pogba if he commits for the next few years?

Can imagine holidaying as a footballer is difficult unless you keep it super high end and away from potential English football fans. Not saying that's what's happened in this specific case but if I was a wealthy player I'd be miles away from pubs with boozy rival fans probably floating on a pool in a private villa

I'd go to high resorts only. Mixing with the plebs is surely a no no.

Bruno is the only one, really.

Drunken English idiots trying to make a name for themselves by provoking him.

I'm sure it will blow over.

I don't understand that mentality though. He's an absolute professional and lives an immaculate private life off the pitch. Because people don't know Pogba, they project onto him.

What great leadership skills he has

"You see Harry Maguire getting arrested in Mykonos for a fight, but you have to ask where Paul Pogba is in all of this, why didn't he break up the fight?"
Paul Pogba with a timely assist. The bottle probably landed right on Maguire's head.

He's already been stripped of the captaincy once and has wanted to leave for the past two seasons. He'll want to leave again at the first sign of trouble too.

Could be this. We reallly need to wait. Sometimes you cant just walk away or youll get jumped anyway or your mates are taking it personally for you and it all kicks off.

I guarentee the other lot will be interviewed by The Sun within 2 days

I can't believe you're even asking if Cantona was arrested.

Edit: Already mentioned, sorry.
no worries, not sure why I was questioning myself. Of course Palace fan was obvious. But I seem to remember another couple if incidents as well

Bruno is captain now....


And maybe this will lead us to getting a faster CB to pair with lindelof instead of the other way around. Though I'm sure maguire was just enjoying his vacation and things got out of hand a bit and he'll be back and playing fine.

Lindelof tried to get back and help Maguire apparently but was already the wrong side of the venue.

From memory, I don't think he did. He was mostly hot-headed and had a couple of high-profile fallouts in France (including with the national team).

That said, such things are pastimes for French players.

Not this again. He once mentioned wanting a new challenge, which we all fecking do over fighting over top four and no silverware, then the rest has been complete paper talk. If you think Bruno's going to keep his head down and be content with us sitting in sixth or seventh in the league, and struggling to get out of the Europa League group stages, then take a look at how he finished up at Sporting: completely committed on the pitch, but he's going to ensure the club matches his ambition off it.

I said Pogba wouldn't be leaving this time last year and was laughed out of town by people. He's still here and will likely sign a new contract.

Don't you either want a vocal captain (Ex: loud goalie or cb) Or one that leads by example (Ex: Valencia) but more likely a mixture of both? So Bruno potentially?

Pogba doesn't appear to be too vocal or lead by example when the going gets tough. You can literally see Bruno 110% trying his hardest all game to lead the team. He's also vocal which helps.
