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

Didn't know his mom doesn't want him to leave.

If I were the club bosses, i would revise my offer to re-sign. 20% cut in wages. See what happens. Will be interesting for watching clubs and cut down Minis choices.
Spacegoating can become a thing! Thread please. Images with dramatic backgrounds. GOATS in space, featuring Maradona, Georgie Best and … Pogba?
Stay 1 year, run it out, benefit?
Irreplaceable is a word that should never be used to describe Paul Pogba. In the last 20 years the only midfielders you can call irreplaceable are Scholes, Keane, Xavi, Iniesta and Modric. Pogba is not even at half of their levels. Get rid and invest in a defensive midfielder. Sancho with Bruno will be far superior to what Pogba and Bruno offered.
We didn't ever have him though, not really. Phantom of a player, on his day unplayable otherwise he is a liability
Yep, I said it earlier in the thread but in Sancho we already essentially have signed Pogba's replacement. Now we need to get in a proper defensive midfielder and we'll have a more complete team than with Pogba.
Mbappe isn't happening. It's Madrid or bust.
It seems you have misunderstood my question and you are very confused, let me rephrase it. My question is about whether do you think Pogba's quality worth for 450k-500k p/w wages or no? If not how much maximum wages would you give him?
You don’t need to believe the figures, I’m just asking you a question. It’s like people ask someone what would you do if you have a trillion dollar. You don’t believe you can have trillion dollar but you can still answer the question what if you have it. The same with my question about Pogba

I expected Ole to say nothing else.
Is Mbappe before or after we sign Haaland?
That's a relief, if true.
So he hasn’t rejected a new contract?
Who knows tbh, it's a lot of speculation in all directions mostly.
exactly it means neither one thing or the other, won't stop people speculating though
I expect Pogba to be injured again should he remain for this season. Its his normal routine.
I would think the biggest issue with contract extension would be the fee that his agent wants for signing or whatever b.s.
350K if true is a good wage. I doubt even PSG can give him much higher than that and we can probably match theirs.

Ole never really shows his cards
Unfortunately this happens time to time. Has happened to us, has happened to others and will continue to happen.
Let's just hope it's settled one way or the other this summer.
Tbf to Pogba although I don't think he's ever really looked committed to us, he's never really had much to get excited about here, but we could look very different this time next year to him, so I'd keep him and risk losing him for free, we aren't getting anyone better.
I just don't get this take, and it's quite popular. I'm fine with him wanting the club to be a lot more ambitious and competitive, I'd respect him for saying so publicly to exert pressure on the board, but he's hardly done the business. Look at Bruno, fiercely competitive, and has singlehandedly won us loads of games in a very short amount of time. He's allegedly being paid a third of what Pogba is earning.
He needs to back up his ambition with top level performances.
Spacegoat coast to coast.
Why are people getting worked up about stories of him going to PSG? It's standard negotiating tactics from Raiola. Pogba has said in the past that he wouldn't play for PSG which is why some PSG fans are against him. There was no other club that Raiola could link him to. We all know that Perez doesn't want Pogba and Barca are totally skint. It's literally Raiola's only card here.
Ole is always positive about players who are still employed by the club, he lied about Smalling, Lukaku etc. It‘s all smoke and mirrors.
We might finally be going into season with a starting 11 that has no real holes in it, to now lose Pogba would just feel like a potential missed opportunity, he can maybe only be a consistant top player when he is surrounded by other top players, and when there something to really play for, I don't know if that is true, I just want to see it given a chance.
All I know for sure is that he is an extremelly talented midfielder, which we find very difficult for us to get hold of, so I'd keep him for a season where our squad looks as good as it has since Fergie left, also as our links to replacements seem far fetched, and the fee we might get for him pretty limited.

Looking forward to the season, just not in a United shirt.
This is what I have issues with. Players that do this, like Martial and likely Pogba will end up overpaid with high contracts - whereas the ones that stay committed and quietly do their job don’t. We lost Herrera due to this and I hope we don’t make the same mistake reward Bruno with a contract he deserves
Yep and add Sanchez to the list too "he will come back here and prove the doubters wrong" whilst on loan at Inter.
In many ways I'd rather he handles contract situations this way. Keep it all behind closed doors, and I hope they work out the best solution for all parties.
It is a popular take.
The vibe at the club has been a bit unstable. There was a glut of supposed talent coming in under Mou but it was a house of cards and all turned to crap really.
If Pogba was just coming to the club now, imagining that Varane ends up here as well, he might feel more positive and we might see more of his quality. As it is, half his career has passed while the club slowly transitions back to what it was in SAF days. It’s coming, but his experience here must make him doubt whether it’s worth waiting. He doesn’t have the personality to positively influence and hasten the development of the club, the squad, the team. He’s supremely talented but he lacks Bruno’s drive; he lacks the qualities that we have needed so much these last few years; he is not a “United” player in my mind.
He would have done much better at a team already established at the top. He’s good enough to get into the top teams but not good enough to turn a “nearly” team into winners.
Ole would be a very good politician. The art of saying a lot of things (which all sound positive) without actually said anything.
I see some posters mention Pogba ++ in midfield. I am not sure what they see in his production level to offer him that status. We need midfielders with consistent production levels who can help the team, not live in hope that our so-called superstar will turn up.
whats the reason behind this idea that Pogba doesn’t like PSG and their fans don’t like him? Guess I must have missed something 
.
.the club is bigger than any player and manager. He should feck off now before the transfer window closes if he does not renew his contract now.

I really don’t understand when you say he’s one of our better players.
Let’s put things into context here.
Firstly he can only be better than others when he’s on the pitch which we all know is usually half a season or so on average. And while he is on the pitch he hasn’t always been one of our better players either. So we’d now have to offer him a massive new contract for a part time return? Some of us don’t agree with wanting to afford such a luxury. We’d rather reinvest these funds into the team.
Furthermore, It’s only last season when he wasn’t given too many responsibilities of the midfield and played in advanced positions that he was able to give more input but that’s also because we were short of options and Rashford was injured or not up to par. Going forward he will not be playing LW as often as he did last season and probably very rarely.
Let’s also not forget the penalties he conceded.
The reason many of us are back to scapegoating him is because stints of good performances don’t warrant fulfilling his demands. Of course we also remember how he came clutch for us last season but there’s a lot more to it than just his good moments. He’ll most likely miss a few games again due to injury if not a half season again. And the likelihood of his injuries will only continue to increase with age.
Even if injuries may not be a concern, where would you want to play him? Definitely can’t trust him in a midfield 2.
If the rumours are to be believed and we’re switching to a midfield 3, we still can’t risk playing him there either if Bruno is in the mix too, no matter who the DM may be.
The PL is way too fast paced and teams will continue to target him and we’ll never learn from our mistakes. He will continue to get found out and watching him lose possession and then him tracking back, is just dreadful for my eyes. There have been moments that I’ll never forget where the teams running back and this man is just jogging back leaving the entire midfield open.
I’m certainly not down to give him a bumper new contract just to have him as a luxury and be one of our ‘better players’ like you say. When players are paid what he may be paid, they are supposed to be one of our top 3/5 players and right now he’s not in my top 5 most important players in our starting 11. Letting him go is not the end of the world and some of us need to understand that.
