Who was benched for half a season?
How long are we willing to take Pogba's insolance?

He knows what he’s doing. The world and his dog knows that the press are fishing for quotes, and the only way to really piss on their bonfire is to roll out the stock answers and leave it at that. You don’t say that it’s your dream to play elsewhere, but you’ll just get back to the day job anyway because you’re under contract. How do you think that would go if your missus heard you say “well of course I’d love to be with Sandra from work, but you know, I’m married so I’m happy to settle with her for the time being.”
She’d be rightly pissed off.

And none of them ever dared to speak out against SAF or the club. Or so much as flutter their eyelids at other clubs.
He was injured.
Pogba. Or if you want, you could say his "injury".
And then he posts instagram vids of him playing basketball. I really don't believe he was injured for that long. It's textbook SAF style of handling dirty laundry behind closed doors.
So you think that France were also benching him because of his "injury". The FFF and United are in it together?
Jesus. Really? I probably shouldn’t ask your opinion of 5G.
He wasn't playing basketball, he shots a few baskets in street clothes.
When was that?
Please don't tell me you believe 5G causes covid. You can't possibly be that daft, right?
During the six months where he wasn't selected by France due to the "injury".
And then he comes back one game, plays poorly and goes back out again almost immediately. Then was that the point where he went for foot surgery "coincidentally"?
Sure. The same way other players aren't selected when they haven't played for their club for months for whatever reasons, fitness or otherwise, right?
Love this haha. Spot on! I can’t believe people fall for the “naive” footballer interviews. His literally feeding the reporters their money quotes. It’s intentional partly to keep his name in headlines and hoping Zidane and Madrid are listening.
Well no. But then I’m not the one claiming that Manchester United and the FFF were in cahoots together, trying to fool the world into believing that Pogba was injured. As opposed to just dropping him.When was that?

Unfortunately I fear Flo is too smart to sign him. They're going after Mbappé, Camavinga and Haaland in 2021 and 2022.
Wondering how many of the folks hyperventilating in this thread were also yearning for Sancho to throw a strop to force an exit from Dortmund.
Trying to think back to the last time he put in a World Class performance for us?
Have Real fallen so far down they'd consider breaking the bank for mediocrity?
A rich man's Djemba-Djemba.

im more concerned our board will throw insane money at him ontop
I didn't say the FFF and Man United were in cahoots. You'd better check your facts.
I've wanted rid for a long time, this hasn't been a surprise seeing him doing this again. The sooner he's gone the better. He has been more detrimental to the team than influential this season so far and the handful of games he decided to give us last season. This from a supposedly game changing world class player.
You mean the game where he was limping after a tackle to the ankle he had issues with?
The first games he missed were for France, in september 2019. He started against Southampton on August 31st and was ruled out for France due to an ankle injury which saw him miss the games on September 7th and 10th. You don't even know what you are talking about.
So too are all the other BIG clubs. Real were once able to get who they wanted, but many other clubs are now in the picture.
The last I checked, he didn't play almost all games until, what was it, March? How many months in between Sept and March?
Erm he's been batting his eyelids at Madrid most of the time he's been at United!
At the moment he would struggle to hold a place in Tranmere's midfield...god knows why we persist in giving him runouts when he is performing like a busted flush.
I'd sell him to Trabzanspor just for a laugh.

Rooney?? Didnt speak out against the club?? Are you sure??
Don't you think he could of worded it better? He's a Manchester United player being paid massive wages so when he says," its a dream for me to play at Madrid one day" where are we going to think his loyalties lie?
Well he keeps making these little advances to Madrid,which is obviously interesting....But for me the most interesting part of his interview was the bit where he says that Woodward hasn’t offered him any new contract yet.Does The club really want to keep him beyond this year?Does Woodward and the board want to wait and watch before offering him a new deal?If the club really wants him to stay,then why hasn’t a new contract been offered?
A literal virus. How right was, Jose?
What is this fanfiction?
Just address the point, was he dropped by France in September 2019? And injured players generally don't play, that's the consequence of being injured.
I am playing in Manchester and having fun. This is what he thinks it is then.
Is football not supposed to be fun? If a player wasn't enjoying playing wouldnt that be a bigger issue?
You're right. I stand corrected. I suppose the more recent generation of players are more vocal. But I still remember the days when anyone who did something SAF didn't like got booted out. Keane got booted out. Stam got booted out. Beckham got booted out, etc. Anything that threatened his authority and the well being of the team.Rooney?? Didnt speak out against the club?? Are you sure??
I think SAF did mention he regretted selling Stam. I think that probably played apart in his decision not to boot Rooney out. Or it could be he felt that neither his authority nor the well being of the team was threatened. I don't know.
After you address my point. How many matches and months in between that he missed and do you think ankle injuries take that long to heal?
I can accept he may have been injured at first, but subsequent behavior or performance may have resulted in Pogba getting benched. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. Especially with the duration he was out, all the shenanigans that went on with the instagram posts and him coming in, playing poorly and then immediately not playing again.
Did they really care or where they tied to the club, playing for a pittance, with no agency over their own careers?
It was feckin disgrace how players in the old days were treated. Many ended their lives in poverty having to selling any medals they had to survive.
i mean what are we going to do? no one is going to buy him untill at least next summer.
I really hope we don't hand him a bumper contract though. Its Woodward though he gives everyone massive contracts

but he didnt though did he, he put up with all the shenanigans until they no longer produced on the pitch / or they were of no use to him in the wider picture.
Agreed.
He's been absolutely awful as well. Wss it Brighton where he started the game with four fouls or something ridiculous like that? Felt like we'd thrown in a 16 year old on a stage too big.
