Let's see. Pogba's also more out of favor here than Hazard was at Chelsea. Don't think Real are able to splash money like that year after year neither. Maybe if they sell.
How is Pogba out of favour? He's injured and has started every game he's been fit under Solskjaer.
At least half of the fans on here, seems to be quite alright with him leaving, so yeah. Anyways, just said he was more out of favor than Hazard at Chelsea.
Yeah but the fans don't really have a say in how in/out of favour he is. The only people whose opinions matter on whether he's in/out of favour are the coaching staff and it's pretty clear that he isn't out of favour with them.
Of course fans have a say indirectly, like when we hired a club man in Ole after Jose and the fans all wanted this. If the fans are not behind the player, the player usually doesn't perform to his best, and is therefore a worse asset than if they backed him. You can't completely say that Pogba's not out of favour with the staff neither. He's currently injured, but met Zidane in Dubai, and haven't since featured. Not sure any manager would consider meeting Zidane in these circumstances a great idea. Fergie would have completely booted him. None of us know for certain whether his injury is spin or not. Could be both.
That's not what I'm saying, I said the fans didn't have a say whether he's considered in or out of favour and their opinion wouldn't matter to the United higher-ups during transfer negotiations and only the opinions of the staff would. Madrid couldn't say he's out of favour with the club if he's starting every game but then say "well, some of the fans don't like him so he's out of favour so his price should be lowered". The second part of your point regarding Pogba and his favour with the staff rests on speculation, I'm not getting into conspiracy theories, Pogba is and has been very clearly injured. He was wearing a medical boot up until last week which is evidence enough to suggest he's been injured.
If what he wants is 200k or 250k + a sign on fee, how is that going to cause unrest as he'd be a keyplayer?
Eriksen would be looking for a package around £80m over 4 years when he'll be worth nothing given his age. Whatever way its dressed up the money is all going to go to Eriksen and every top player who signs or wants a new contract will be looking for a similar figure.
That is my thoughts on the situation too,however I can also see people's point of view that he is on the decline now and is a big risk.
A big chunk of the transfer fee that would have gone to Spurs will go to Eriksen and his agent in signing bonuses instead. The rest will be swallowed up in increased wages on a longish contract. So while on the surface it looks low risk, it could quickly turn into another very expensive mistake if his form doesn't suddenly pickup.
All for being able to trap a leather bag. fecking stunning.
Are you just completely blind to numbers? We just did the math above, and 80m doesn't seem realistic at all. You're making stuff up and scaring people for no reason. You just grabbed 80m out of your ass. We compared with other similar-players like Ramsey on a free above.
poor is harsh. He was surrounded at all times, and yet he still managed to get out of the pressure, by making clever moves, when surrounded by more physical players. Did look slow though, but maybe he's always been. Wasn't a bad game at all I think.
If there's doubt, there's no doubt.
If this was the case, there would hardly be any transfers.
If the player that comes in performs at a good level i don't think anyone complains, no matter what the club is paying him. But if that player performs like Sanchez did, then you have a problem. A big expensive problem.
Agreed, problem is, can we gamble on him right now?
This is not the type of mentality of player we need when our chips are down i.e. now.
Yeah, if we were in far better shape, I'd take him In a heartbeat. It's far too big of a risk now.
) and the fact we just don't have much luck with players of his ilk...Do you mean duds?
Nothing he says will convince them, they are going for the Benjamins this time and only Levy will have that power.
I agree its the money they are after, could possibly convince Aurier he has a place, has looked a lot better in Jose's system and Rose (meh). When Eriksen goes, we certainly need Bruno in January or summer.
I believe that Bruno has just signed a new contract with an £85M release clause.
So he has, what a silly bastard. Yeah Alli certainly has the physicality Jose likes.
I think he knew no one will be signing him. Might aswell get a pay rise.
yes. Sorry
Probably we let Pogba go and Ericksen would take his place.
Wouldn't say so if you get Poch in.
He needs someone that wants him there, still think Real will get him on a free.
