I can see why he'd like to stay after Sancho and Varane transfers, but I also believe there's more to the story than just "both PSG and Pogba being interested".
People get on here and type nonsense then get themselves wound up over it. There was someone yesterday randomly saying Raiola probably wants parity with Messi and Ronaldo for Pogba. Like, why would you even create baseless speculation like that? Unprovoked. MadnessNonsense upon nonsense in this thread. People need to grow a pair and act like grown ups.
He's never said anything out of turn, he's never downed tools, he's never been anything but a positive influence on the pitch and in the dressing room. This is backed up by many players and managers.
Raiola is Raiola, he does this sh*t with every player. In fact it's been pretty tame with Pogba. He flew Haaland around all the clubs in Europe and by all accounts he's going nowhere this season. Imagine he was doing that with Pogba when he had 3 years left on his contract.
Not yet, I'd expect him to be back tomorrow or the day after as we have a game today. We clearly have a different schedule to other clubs.
Then just let him play Golf for the whole season, that's why I don't think we should buy any player of this fat arse Raiola, even if it's Haland
Mata gets a pay cut and also new role to be fair. Jones’s wages is pretty much 4x lower than Pogba. DDG earn it after performing like world class on consistent basis prior 2019. If Pogba could actually perform like DDG 2013-2018 then he has a point to be offered crazy wages.
There's a huge risk involved in someone who will be 29 by the time their contract finishes, planning to leave on a free.
Riola getting 20mil in the Donarumma deal makes me want to vomit. The man is a cancer only in it for himself.
Are you on crack? That is never going to happen.
This is a great plan, each team just needs one class player. We should keep Bruno and shop in the championship next season.
Yeah I saw that. I've never seen a fanbase (or a fairly large section of it) lose all rational opinion on a player like we have with Pogba.
Not happening .
My feelings as well
Exactly. A lot of people are letting their hate get the better out of them and aren't understanding this point.
I cannot see that happening. One, maybe two of those signings could happen but not just based on moving Pogba on but others will need to be sold too which let’s be honest we are hopeless when it comes to selling our own players that are surplus to requirements.
Because there is nothing suggesting he is doing that at all. Raiola can try, but that would be dumb. That will break his relationship with us, and it will only hurt him long term if he does that. It is best for him that he does not do that if he wants to keep a working relationship. For PSG, this could help convince Mbappe to renew as well. Lastly, a year is a large time t and they could sign someone else in that time or he might get some injury and hurt his chances later.
His mother wrote him a glowing reference. That's good enough for me.Proven where and how?
I think it is still better to have a proper DM with Fred or Vdb rather than fred with a new CM. With Ndidi/Rice, Dm position will be fixed for years.If Pogba leaves we will have Matic, Fred and McT. That's so average it hurts. We will need one proper midfielder. If we get in someone like Ndidi/Rice, the lack of ball players in our midfield would be alarming.
--McT/Fred--Rice/Matic
It's not a good idea in the long run though, is it?
No, he just gets the fat one and his family to do it for him.Nonsense upon nonsense in this thread. People need to grow a pair and act like grown ups.

We are paying at least £34 for with add ons going to £40 mil plus for Varane so it will be at least the same not £30 mil. But as an attacking midfielder I suspect it would be higher (50-60 inc add ons)
Alternatively, the Pogba FC posters are so blind with love they can't see just how little Pogba actually contributes, certainly not consistently enough.
Anyone that's ever asked for a pay rise will know that the weakest argument possible you can take into your managers office is "He got paid x, so I want x". Pogba can ask for whatever he wants but he has to explain why he feels he's worth becoming the highest paid player at the club in regards to what he brings to the team on and off the field. Unfortunately for him he doesn't have a strong case based on his merits.
We don't need a world class player to replace Pogba, Pogba isn't even world class so that would be an upgrade for one. We just need consistency and a solid performer who wants to be here and win things.
Nobody thinks he’s the soul of the club and nobody puts him ahead of the club.
I must've imagined all those casual penalties he gave away, dangerous disposessions after attempted show pony moves, half arsed misplaced passes, half arsed tracking back, half arsed attempted tackles, and generally floating through games on auto-pilot.
