horrible take. I guess Sancho should be embarrassed we didn’t “go all out” last year? The coping mechanisms you guys are finding are comical. It’s a win win for Pogba. If he doesn’t end there this year, he can end up there next year with a hefty signing fee and wages as a free transfer, alternatively depending on how United progress, he could potentially renew with better wages here.
Paul Pogba / turned down United offer of 300k as “nothing”

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Yeah I'm not saying the club are right but I think it's a massive reach to expect the player to tell the agent how much he's allowed to make on a deal while at the same time expecting the club to reduce their asking price.
And even if they did those things both Pogba and his agent know they can get more money if they hang on until next season. Going on a free means a signing bonus and higher wages.
Pogba is more marketable than Salah. Overseas when you think of the premier league he is one of the very first names that come to mind.
Not horrible considering Sancho is not a superstar in comparsion to Pogba. Pogba is "supposedly" to be up there with the very best in the world according to football fans. Sancho's is about to taste what is feels like you be a star at United. Pogba on the other hand cant even get his preffered club Madrid to put in an offer over the last 3 years.
Some of these comments are giving me the "my ex dumped me so I'm gonna slag her off to make myself feel better" vibe. Serious, what a silly post
Its Lionel Messi mate
Sancho is a star. He’s not a prospect about to taste nothing. He has been one of the most productive players in his position for the past three seasons, hence football pundits, specifically German ones, being astonished he didn’t feature more prominently for England. Fact of the matter your statement was idiotic and it’s easily corroborated by United, one of the richest clubs, having to amend their plans and not get the player they really wanted last season which was Sancho.
Clubs are facing financial realities they didn’t have to deal with previously, and there have been reports emphasising Madrid and Barcelona specifically are not in the best financial form. Madrid being Pogba’s preferred club is nothing but speculation, based largely on the Zidane connection. he has been linked with Madrid, Juve and PSG, clubs top players are usually linked with, similarly, many reports have stressed he’s happy at United, something Ole reiterates at every chance.
Again, these coping mechanisms you guys are adopting are pathetic. I promise you Pogba will not struggle to find a top club, he’s in a great position, he can renew with United for better wages or move to a top club for free with a bag of money as a signing fee and crazy wages.
I feel like the journalists and press are just guessing at this point.
It really isn't.
A bad move would be to not honor your contract and leave the club hanging by not showing up.
If a player is looking at the possibility for a move, then why bind yourself to the current club by signing a new contract?
In this situation, it's unfortunate for the club that other clubs don't have the money, or that they don't want to pay the fee that the club wants for the player. So there's not much to do other than hoping he'll choose to stay and sign a new contract.
15M if we ask him to leave now, If he put up a request then we dont have to pay anything .
Its bad that PSGs focus is now turned to Messi means they might get Pogba next year for free.
Battered on transition. Without the ball they'd be awful.
I follow La Liga quite closely and what I can tell you is he’s an exceptional player - really good with the ball at his feet, lethal finisher and can pick a really decent pass - I’m talking maybe even Scholesy level passing. Much as I’d like to see us sign him I’m not sure there’s a place for him - he’d either occupy the CF role that we already have Cavani for (not sure there’s much point in having 2 players for the same role with 1-2 season left in them each) or the Bruno role which, well, we have Bruno for.
Nope, the agent speaks for the player, he's his voice.
It seems pretty clear that Pogba is going nowhere this summer. The fact that we'd have to pay him 15m to leave when a big fee isnt likely means that selling him before his contract ends loses the point. This does however look very like a Rooney/De Gea situqtion where Judge will throw a stupidly massive wage at him to stay despite being 29 at the end of his contract and still wildly inconsistent.
Another classic post
If you use the 'reply' function it'll include the persons message youre responding to and people will know who youre talking to and about what which isnt clear from what youve posted.
Would love to know what part of that you disagree with. I seem to get sarcastic responses to everything I post though so maybe I just leave RedCafe here. I get that I’m new to soccer and maybe don’t know everything.
thank you, sorry I thought I’d hit reply!
Who were you even talking about?
If it's true that PSG will sign Messi, that means they have already stretched themselves to the max in terms of wages of players, only recently Neymar agreed a new deal, and of course he is on massive wages, they signed 3 experienced top players on free, so I suspect they offered them big wages, and let's not forget Mbappe will be offered a huge contract in case he wants to stay because Messi is joining.
This might mean they won't be able to sign Pogba on free next season, as he will command a huge salary and Raiola will demand a major agent fee, they still need to operate within FFP
This means only Manchester United can offer a good contract to Pogba, this now puts the club in a stronger position.
I might be wrong though but this what I think will happen if Messi signs for PSG

Thinking top teams would be scared of playing against a team with 4 players that don't defend and 1 who's shit at it
We're not selling Pogba to PSG if they get Messi, 4 divas is enough of a headache for Poch.
Pogba will let his contract run out and then join RM, Juve or PSG (when Mbappe leaves) next year.
We shouldn't extend if he wants significantly more than De Gea. His performances just don't warrant that kind of contract. We'd lose more money by giving him that contract than letting him walk for free.
I'd love to see him dropped to the bench for big games instead of doing feck all LW (except shunting Rashy to the right). He'll come in handy in CM against a parked bus and from the bench in general.
True but there is actually no player in world footballer more suited to playing with Mbappe than Pogba.
Mbappe thrives off long balls from deep. Pogba finds him every time. It's amazing to watched. They where literally the one of the best partnerships in the euros but Mbappe just kept missing every chance.
All I know is if I have Mbappe on my team you want Pogba playing behind him
I’ve had many frustrations with Pogba’s inconsistency over the years.
But last season isn’t one to say he wasn’t great. In his last few months since the announcement that he would be leaving, he was regularly one of our best players on the pitch every game. That is why it was so frustrating because we were arguably seeing the best of Pogba that we’d seen in a Utd shirt before he was about to leave us. His last 4 months were brilliant which we can’t deny.
That is a stretch TBH.

Matter of opinion.
Class from supporters.
So at least we know no one from the cafe is there.
Are you giving a scout report on Lionel fecking Messi?
He was bad today, we lost the entire midfield when matic/DVB went off for Pogba/Fred. Probably one of our worst players today.
Poor enough today. Lost the ball i think twice and gave the ball away a couple of times.
Id still start him instead of Dan James on the left against leeds. Please Ole no more of Dan James

Who are you talking about?
Please tell me its not Messi.
Someone asked if we should sign Messi so I was giving my opinion. I watch a lot La Liga football.Are you giving a scout report on Lionel fecking Messi?
Yep he was very popular in the area I was in something he did acknowledge more than once
A few calls for him to sign the contract when he made it onto the pitch in the 2nd half

I think the joke is lost on you. It is Lionel Messi. Everyone knows how good he is. Unless you have been living on Mars for the last 15 years.
Lovely
For this video there are one or two videos showing supporters frustrated with him. Don't think this means anything. Let's see if they still give him this sort of reaction when he starts putting in his usual sluggish performances.
