Paul Pogba / turned down United offer of 300k as “nothing”

Same....could you envision a summer/winter transfer period that wasn't dominated by the Mino/Pogba storyline? If he truly wanted to be here I'd be the first to be saying that we needed to make it happen, but sadly, that isn't the case. Give him his move now and start working on a replacement...everyone will be better off and we could get someone who is chomping at the bit to be a Red Devil.
He should indeed go to PSG with the other show ponies. Time to move on. You can’t build your team around a midfielder who doesn’t consistently score or create. Bruno’s impact gives the lie to everything that was said about it being impossible to make an impact on a squad like United’s. Pogba’s fun to watch sometimes but he ain’t a great midfielder. If he’s making the club a tonne of money commercially then I guess he can stay, like Beckham wasn’t sold at Real Madrid, but we all know that era was very unsuccessful on the pitch precisely because of those kinds of decisions.
Au revoir.
It’s inevitable, he’s going to go there and look class. if they play him in a free role he’ll probably even win the CL with them but that still doesn’t make him the right player for us. Will his fitness record improve there? His numbers and highlights inevitably will but he’s wanted out of here for ages.
I just hope we get some really shit hot player as his replacement. I reckon PSG will happily put some decent money down to get a deal like this done right now if the player has told them to bid as he wants to leave and he’s refusing to sign a contract.
From a comerical standpoint this is another huge coup for them and of course they can afford to offer him more wages than us, the interest he’ll bring the brand and French football that he wants to do it while he’s supposedly in his prime. I’m sure they have lots of money for something like that especially if the player is putting the transfer in their laps like this. Mino has literally found a bottomless pit of money for his high profile players. Haaland next?
He could be the catalyst for them but if I had to bet I think he’ll always be got at if you go at him aggressively enough in the big games. Don’t let him settle and hope he’s not having an unplayable day. If things go wrong they will all blame each other and implode. PSG will be a team of individuals and big egos for a long while yet and they are pretty fun to watch lose.

A souless player in a souless club.
PSG and Pogba are perfect for each other.

We earn lot from our sponsers by keeping Pogba with us hence we are doing it, thats the reason we are really being tolerant to this guy and Ed supported him against Jose
I think VDB/Bruno can play well with someone like Bissouma / Touchameni kind of player, Hope we get one of them if Carmaviunga is not coming to us
What about Mctominay / Fed / Pogba in 3-man modfield, can it be a success ?
Sell Bruno?
My worry is that we sell him and don't replace him with someone genuinely brilliant on the ball. It would be just like us to sign more grit and muscle without the class needed.
Yes it could, and it would probably be the best midfield that Pogba has played in since getting here other than the brief Matic/Herrera/Pogba combo that had great success. Which is a sad indictment on the midfield during his time, as Fred-McTominay really isn't very good either. But they provide a solid base and Fred, despite what some say, does a half-decent job at building play out from deep which would mean Pogba wouldn't have to always drop deep to do it himself.
Unless you want to try Bruno out as a false 9, it's not going to happen though.
Feel like this might be out Coutinho moment. Sell a mercurial talent and replace him with a less talented but better fit player in the middle of the park.
If we get €60m cash up front, that's a good deal.

Nope, still got me. Are you saying Raiola has bummed us 7-8 times or just various agents have bummed us, lined up in front of Woody with their cocktract demands in their hands?
So with maybe a couple of additions we could have a team capable of challenging for major honours and now Pogba decides he wants to leave?
Such a fraud this guy is if true, complete loser mentality since he got here will fit in fine at PSG..

Two players like Saul and Camavinga maybe to replace Pogba would be smart business. Experience and one for the future.
We really need to bolster our versatile midfield options, especially if we are doing the 3 man mid this coming season and Camavinga would literally be like getting a young Pogba again. Perfect like for like.
Saul will give us the grit and ball retention abilities we should be looking at to dominate games better than we normally do.

PSG will try a final push for the CL trophy, while they still have Mbappe and Neymar. Adding Pogba, they are the most deadly offensive team ever.
RM has an golden opportunity to do a swap deal including Pogba. I think that what’s dragging out the Varane deal right now. RM has to agree personal terms with Pogba, and that’s difficult these days when RM try to cut wages.
Pretty sure Pogba leaves for RM or PSG; either swap with Varane or €50-60m. I’m happy if we get Varane or €50m for Pogba.
Best to sell him while we still get descent money for him. Not very fan of keeping him 3 more years on a very expensive contract.

He should hold out for Man City IMO. Whether that's this season or just walk out on a free next season.

----Bruno-----------Camavinga
A deep-lying playmaker (6). A ball-winner who presses relentlessly and is great with his dribbling (8). A creative mid (10).
Would be close to ideal.

I’m not convinced Madrid can afford Pogbas salary. But I agree a straight swap is the best and fairest deal.
I don't think Real want Pogba. When were they last linked with him? He's having to settle for PSG as they're the only team who want him and will pay him the mad wages we seem willing to do.
How on earth is he holding the club to ransom?
No, quite the opposite. It was sarcasm. This notion that Pogba/Raiola keeps fecking us over is pure fantasy created to further push the narrative that Pogba is the bogeyman.
Haaland will be the same type of behaviour at United.
If you want an agent like Raiola it's a good 75% indicative of what your ability is like.

People still underestimate him because they don't like him. He will be missed, no doubt. However, if we invest wisely, we can make up for that and, potentially, as a team be stronger.
PSG seems to be the only club who can afford him, and I would prefer we sell him then lose him for nothing.

€60m would be amazing.
Just like people overrate him because he looks good for France.
Not many reliable sources of him leaving since the Bouhafsi report.
I think the transfer fee+wages may prove to be too expensive for any team this summer.

You are probably fairly right on this, it makes the most sense.
Pogba is better than Bruno and it’s not even a debate. There’s about 10 midfielders in Europe that could replace Bruno as many probably would say for Pogba. We aren’t talking about CR7 in both cases.
Well we will see if our results improve with Bruno that doesn’t have a Pogba in the team too.
I changed it because you didn’t give me an answer. Stop trying to give the big balls. The evidence is there
Isn’t VDB his replacement then? We got Bruno, Sancho Cavani Greenwood with Rashford, James, martial and amad as cover. Midfield is 2 of McT Fred garner matic mata VDB - 14 players for 6 positions and then there’s shoretire Hannibal etc.
Has Bruno? I mean he consistently is nowhere to be seen in a big game. I can’t recall one Man City like performance that Pogba had, there’s also zero trophies to show for it whilst also arguably playing in a better team.
It’s all hype but not reality. Like someone pretending we develop youth.
It's only your subjective opinion which is not supported by any evidence, so I guess there is no point in debating indeed.
We’ve got numbers, but hardly the quality. The central midfield was hardly good enough this season to mount a serious title challenge. How would losing one of the best players and replacing him internally fix anything?
Just get it done. If he stays we'll have the same story in the winter and round and round we go. If we sell him it's important we invest wisely, Camavinga and one more midfielder maybe. We'll survive and he'll fit right in PSG, I can see his Instagram getting on fire. On paper he's a great midfielder, too bad he didnt show it often enough.
He should play as a nr. 10, in a midfield 2, in a midfield 3, on the left side of midfield and so on...
Of course its not all his fault but he just doesn't fit. Even if he did fit there's his fat bastard of an agent who cant close his mouth. And the fact Pogba doesnt stop him speaks enough.
Pogba cares and loves United? Give me a brake.

Bruno Fernandes will never get a club as big as United ever in his life. He’s not good enough as a player.
The day we stop making him our main man is the day we start winning.
If Pogba leaves it will be Lovely to get Grealish in and remove Bruno’s dominance. But it won’t happen.
It feels the right time to move on, I think the better time to sell was last season but Covid messed up any chance of getting a decent fee. It’ll be interesting to see how the club deal with it if he’s not signing a new deal cos with PSG the only realistic buyers I can’t see them offering much over £40m especially with paying Mino on top. It’ll be a shame cos I had high hopes for him when he re-signed but it’s just not worked out that way for numerous reasons
That would be just perfect. Wonder if some fans will still adore him after that if it happens.
