Mino Raiola was trying to play a game were his top players would let their contract run out only to demand from that club the same salary/conditions as if they were signed as free agents. He tried it with Donnarumma and then with Pogba. Thank god both Milan and United showed him the middle finger.
Paul Pogba / turned down United offer of 300k as “nothing”
- Thread starter MyOnlySolskjaer
- Start date
Again, my question was - “what has he done wrong here?” Are you that dense that you keep conflating that with “I don’t know why people are annoyed?”
For clarification - you initiated the name calling here simply because you’re struggling with something simple, despite my appeals at objectivity.
I don’t know what he’s going to do. I don’t know him. I also don’t know why you’re saying these things to me. They have nothing to do with my posts or what I asked
“???” that’s confusion not me worked up. mostly because you just keep saying random things to me that have nothing to do with my posts - like saying something is a big problem, which I still don’t know what is a big problem or for whom - go read your initial reply to me
Pogba where to start, how about the EL Cup Final when Jose done his nut at Pogba not trying to help the midfield defend - so he hooked him, and was the most disgusted manager to win a trophy since Fergie won the scottish cup final against then Rangers
Then came the full fall out and most blamed Jose but you could see it was Pogba at fault but by this time he had the dressing room in his pocket and Jose by then gave up and started looking for a way out - which duly happened and he pocketed a nice pay off
I said on my twitter account that day we will never win the title with Pogba and if we ever did I would give £1,000 to charity
I noticed that when he played for France he was supposed to be a world beater but as few have said if he doesn't have a Kante next to him to do all the hard graft and defending you get the Pogba that we got at Man Utd, the show pony prancing around the pitch like a dressage horse not putting a shift in to help his team
He was a guy of self importance that only cared about himself, he allowed his agent to say all sorts of stuff that denegrated the Man Utd name and never once pulled him up over it
He has taken Lingard, Martial and possibly Rashford down the same route as him not caring anymore about the club
We are well rid of him and it's time this club got it's ethos back about working hard for each other doing the best you can and leaving every ounce of energy you have on the pitch and stop all this thinking players have made it cause they earn over £200,000 a week and turn in diabolical perfomances week after week

Source of those "quotes"?
Not sure if serious but same.
The only player since Di Maria and then probably Nani before him where I got genuine little boy delight from the sheer skill, flair, athletic prowess and technique. Shame it was too inconsistent and too little from all the names mentioned but I can't help but have a soft spot for those beautiful body feints, shimmies, first touches etc.
It's kind of why I have vain hope Rashford will rediscover his form. He's not as refined but during that 18 months of form, he had that spark that was fun to watch.
Glad it's ended because it just didn't work for both parties. Oh well.
We go againnnnnnn.
I’m sick of seeing his name on here , please let it stop, he’s gone thank feck.
move on
move on
100% this.
Thank goodness we won't have the constant tedium about haircuts, which 3 or 4 players around him he needs to play well, missing 4months every season injured, always missing most of the City/Liverpool games for assorted reasons, and just generally being the poster boy for our mad recruitment.
And I spent about 4 years thinking he was quality. But finally grew tired of it all.
So now roundly hated by United supporters and frowned upon by a huge section of the football world. Well done. Complete lack of self-awareness mixed with Peter Pan syndrome.
People still defending this embodiment of failure and Woodwards Disneyland 
I am definitely not going to watch this shit of his, just enrage me further! Riola may be dead and I’m sorry for that but he was a leech and filled Pogs head with full of crap. Pogba had been a failure and I’m delighted he is gone.
What has he done wrong? How about describing an offer of £300k per week as United doing nothing to keep him? You don't think it's wrong but others do. Also, you're the one who said that people are annoyed at his conduct because they are unhappy with their own lives.
Anyway, I don't really care anymore. You can continue to feel that Pogba's words were fine and others can feel differently about that. Your opinion is not objective as much as you continue to label it as such.

United offered him 300k? That's by far the worst part of this story
SAF words of no player should be bigger than the manager comes to mind. Jose was right that Pogba is the virus. The entitlement he has just shows how thick he is, if he cant understand that he hasnt performed to earn an even bigger contract than 300k. Now he has something to prove against the injustice. 
Ideally he should have been packed out of United by last summer if he is not signing extension. The writing was on the wall, Ole is at fault to not do that. Later Rangnick was a sitting duck so had no power to do anything.

Hell be in for a hot reception after that documentary the next time he comes to OT with Juve.
Hope Juventus will drop out of the group stage so we can have that vengeance in the Europa League knockout stage.
What a bellend, anyway. He's the epitome of what is wrong with footballers nowadays.
From Athletic, two quotes that shows what he is all about. Good riddance.
This reminds me of Don King around Mike Tyson back in the day - just it’s Mino and Pogba.
Blowing smoke up his arse, telling him he is the greatest, deflecting all negativity and being absolutely driven by cash and commission - the sense of delusional entitlement is fully encapsulated in him making this Pogumentry.
Any absolute twat of the highest order. How we have pandered to this numpty for this long is shocking.
However great that he is going to be getting nearly 50% less that the derisory amount we offered is karma.
A show pony for the slow Italian league. Good bloody riddance.

He has to go down as one of the least popular United players among United fans. Or maybe it's just my age kicking in, I don't know. Perhaps kids, teenagers and college students are big fans? I even heard rumors about it not being uncommon to start supporting a new club once your favorite player leaves. That would have been unthinkable in the 90's and 00's.
What i will never understand about fans of Pogba is the actual HYPE
Ive never met a player that some say is world class based on some flicks and tricks that actually happens once in 20 games

It's pretty foolish he agreed to release this before he had actually gotten his next contract from the new club. He will surely be ridiculed when it turns out to be a fraction.
I think he did that team talk with France with that in mind.
Really interested to hear what those who have defended him in so dedicated a fashion have to say about this. @....
I cannot believe people are still defending this guy, it's so perplexing. It could come out that he's a multiple murderer and some would still try and spin a positive out of it on here.
I’ve defended Paul on here but he can eat a bag of rocks after this crap.
Also he has either 0 ambition by going back to Juve, or there was 0 demand for him. Either way, he really “showed Manchester” idiot.

We actually offered him 300K/week? That’s been verified?
Good god.
I have to admit that he is 300K/week (or more) player - but only if he plays to his potential (only 20% of games). So yes, it's great news that he left.
He has the drive and determination of a wet fart to prove anybody wrong. He seemed to come across as an intelligent guy, does he not realise how these snippets make him look?
He's not a Manchested united player anymore yet still people are crying? move on with your lives.
Juve supporters not over the moon here.
That really is quite disheartening.
Let's hope it was long enough ago to be pinned on the old regime.
It's stated in multiple reports that 8 mil net salary plus add ons. Hence, he is earning more than Man Utd.

I'm sure we did last summer, when things looked good. Probably even after Ole was fired. If Ralf did nothing else, he seems to have convinced our leaders that Pogba isn't worth keeping.
I am confused. So did we offer him 300k or not, or does he think 300k offer is nothing, or we did actually offer him nothing?
Not much to know what Juve's offer compare to United's. Basic wage is only part of the equation. There are bonuses, adds on, image right, signing fee, and contract length to consider.
It reminds me of those stats that showed Joe Allen as one of the best CM in the world, just by picking on certain aspects only.
It's typical of Pogba really. Just a media circus and attention seeking all the time, instead of focusing on his actual performances. I'm glad he didn't end up signing our offer in the end, and we can finally move on from this guy. Though I'd imagine he will try to cash in a few more times on the United name.
Poor guy, he was doing a Pogpression at United. He just need some Poglove from some Pogfan and Pogclub. He is just Pogdiculuss. I am happy he Pogout this club to be Pognest.
Pogba is both a world class player on his day and a waste of space and a cancer within the club. I think in the dressing room he is a nice guy and a professional but he is sneaky in the way he destroyed the club by letting his agents, brother etc say sht about United and also affected players close to him like Lingard to go against managers etc.
However I can see why he would say 300k is nothing. Its not nothing in the context of people are starving in the world. And even related to footballers its a decent wage. But in relationship to United when your keeper is on 375 and some new kid called Sancho is on 350 if you think you are a senior player that won a world cup and is world class then if Man Utd would really want to keep you they would have offered 400K plus. This would be normal for United. With every other player we have offered ridiculous wages that are uncalled for. You might say he's not worth it and he doesnt play enough. Agreed but 300k at United doesnt say we really want to keep you. At any other club it might. But not United. It just says your ok. You can stay but we arnt going all out to keep you. Which was right from a United perspective but I can see why Pogba would think otherwise.
