Its a common theme. Pogba thread is full of them. Its like people have some personal problem with him and are hell bent to dismiss any of his contribution. Its like people have selective amnesia when it comes to Pogba.
He hasnt been out of this world and have his issues but to say he has never done anything for us is laughable
Hold on a second...Pogba and his agent pitched themselves as being worth €90 million euro 5 years ago or whatever. Premium high salary to boot. I’m all for players not having anything to do with their price tag but none the less, if you look at the salary he currently commands and the one that he supposedly thinks he is worth- what on earth has his contribution been?
In simple terms, football teams have finite resources......we pay Scott McTominay relatively little...he does what’s expected of him...he is a squad player and performs that role well and the outlay corresponds with that. Same goes for Greenwood, Bruno, Fred etc. They all get paid good money and do a job that can justify the expenditure...but every top team, for the most part, has exceptions...we paid DDG astronomical wages because he kept us relevant single handedly for 4 or 5 seasons! So his contribution has been massive despite our outlay...Barca nearly went bankrupt for Messi...Ronny is doing the business...Salah...Haaland next season will play for someone for silly money and will have to deliver...these world class players have to and do justify their salary and the fact that their respective teams pay other players less because these star player contributionS warrant it.
Now you tell me exactly what has PP done in a Utd shirt over the last 4 years to even begin to warrant us paying him the fuking crazy money he is looking for and subsequently having to pay other players who would hopefully bleed for the cause less? Has he given us Goals? Assists? Leadership? Loyalty? Taking responsibility in big games??? Anything...one thing...what has his contribution been relevant to the level of player he believes he is? Remember, he is talking top 5 player in the word salary!!! Are you kidding me!
He is directly responsible for nothing positive that Utd have achieved since he has been here...Messi, Ronaldo, Salah, Lewa, Veratti, DeBruyne...for god sake...Jorginho, Kante...could all tangibly show their contribution and then justify looking for a new contract... considering how his agent publicises his abilities and the level of contract he believes he is worth...he should have at least some tangible evidence of his contribution that goes beyond - “he played decent in our EL run”... He hasn’t.
