Just reading Riola talking crap again. “Juventus fans should dream about Pogba coming, cause if you don’t have a dream how you gonna have a dream come true” or some such nonsense.

Juventus currently have one of THE greatest players in the world I’m sure they are all sweating on whether they can get this clown and his circus back.
What has Ronaldo got to do with it? You think that teams only want one good player, this is typically why your opinions on all subject are useless, you don't even grasp the fundamentals of Football. It's a team sport, you need more than one player in your team and you need more than one good/great player to have a good/great team. Juventus went to the CL final with Pogba and without Ronaldo, they did it by having a stronger team than they have today, Juve fans don't give a damn about Pogba or Ronaldo in isolation, they care about their team as a whole, its strength in depth.

Poor Pogba. Having such a hard time this year travelling around the world bumping into random Celebs like Zidane on hundreds of grand a week. All while getting his employee and family to slag the club.
Having some pundits question his commitment and influence must be devastating for him. Im sure he will want to prove them wrong by spending time with the team and watching matches while he is “out”.

Haha that’s funny hearing a Pogba fan boy talking about fundamentals of a team game. Go away.

Is that the best you can do? Two straight posts not even attempting to address the previous point that you made and the answer?

So again you sidestep and ignore the fact that United has sent other players abroad this year or that Pogba spent almost all his recovery in Manchester?
Haha I’m on my phone so excuse my short replies but wtf? He’s been in Dubai, miami and Paris way more than Manchester. Doesn’t go to games and was only seen at carrington yesterday for the first time in weeks, must have been payday.

Globetrotting is not what medical experts call active rehab.
Your ignorance is a bliss, ain't it :)? He is doing everything the specialists have asked him to do, whether it's in Dubai, Miami or Paris, doesn't matter.

how do you know? Are you privy to his medical records? Calling others ignorant, then spouting things you can’t possibly know is beyond laughable.

You do realize that it's nonsense? He spent less than two weeks in Dubai in October at the Transform altitude performance center and two weeks during the international break in Miami in an other recovery center where yes he also went to an NBA game and a concert.

Why are people still engaging with fergiesarmy1 about Pogba :lol: the bloke acts like his whole family were fired into the sun by Pogba. Just pointless "debating" with him.

Maybe should have stayed at the club because all those places did loads of good clearly.

Maybe not the best thread to start bullying another poster ;)

At one point, probably when Jose was still here I’d have said it was justified criticism, but now it’s just ridiculous.
It’s one thing to slate the guy when he plays and doesn’t perform for us, but to sit there and say he’s a problem in the dressing room whilst saying clubs would be better off with Milner, Henderson and Adam fecking Lallana (sensing a theme) then it’s clear the criticism has gone well over the top.
He’s not even been playing, he’s been injured, came back for a couple of matches and played really well before getting injured again, it’s hard to pin this poor season down to him.
Or, at least, we can’t slate him as a player, and then say Ole is struggling because of injuries and mention Pogba as a player that’s missed.
It was similar with Jose in a way though, the pundits followed him like vultures when he was with us, then he goes to Tottenham and he’s a hero again without doing anything, it’s embarrassing.

Yeah so angry message from no-name twitter is "psychologically harming" while being attacked about his personality (without evidence) by club legend in TV is not, got it!
Yep exactly that, the thousands of people on Twitter social media and in the street is far worse than the retired bitter pundits comments in my opinion:

I find it messed up that ex United players like Scholes has attacked pogba's character when really they should be laying off him and venting all their frustration at the board and the manager because it's their screw up with transfers in's and out's that has left us massively lacking in midfield and attack of high quality difference makers and has gotten to the point that even mctominay out injured feels like a massive blow.

They have attacked the board and managers repeatedly, and losing McTominay is a massive blow. a lot of people on this board will have a hard time eating their words about him. I have. the kid can play ball.

He was fantastically shite against Rochdale and arsenal, played well against Watford for 45 mins. The way Pogba fans bend the truth to suit a story is embarrassing.

Said it a while ago the guy's a troll, no use responding.

This is (at least) the 3rd Pogba thread he's completely taken over. Tell me what that is if not trolling.

Stop bullying me in the bullying thread.

Some things regarding Pogba reminds me of Martial case during that summer when JM worshipers went full mental on him, it was like, players not helping the cause of their supreme leader (in their eyes at least) = enemy. Guess similar type as JM followers just different bunch.

Something similar i saw somewhere when it comes to Gomes, section not having a go at him until some other group use Gomes as stick to beat Ole with, then suddenly everything being thrown, he can feck off for asking X wage etc.

You don't have to. If you want to it's fine but it's not mandatory.

He just rubs me the wrong way mate and that was before this seasons antics.
That's fair enough, I know I'm not changing your mind any time soon.

I'm just surprised people are trying to keep up with you in a Pogba thread, you dominated the last 3 :eek:

I couldn’t care less what “colour” a player is as long as he’s doing the business is all I care about.
Well then you fit into the don't care category

Pogba hasn’t done the business since city however long ago that was.
It was 2017/18 IIRC. In the following season, 8 goals from open play (8 penalties) and 11 assists in all comps last season, even though half of the season was under Mourinho. Struggled with injury this season. He's made some mistakes but he was the best player last season.

If it helps you sleep at night and I shouldn’t really say this I played a four with Yorke in Dubai in December (I didn’t want to come off creepy with him) so i let him talk most of the round.

He thinks Pogba is a fecking prick - so I guess he’s racist an all
That's one former player's opinion and I'm not sure what that has to do with the wider point about the media. Furthermore, I never said anyone that dislikes Pogba is racist, but you already knew this.

You say that as if there are barely any non white players in the PL. Like 30 percent of the league is black.
I don't understand why you think this is a relevant point. We are talking about the way each group is treated differently.

It has nothing to do with skin colour, people just don't like his goofy personality coupled with insanely high expectations and poor effort and performance means he gets shit on.
The same guy who played injured in a LC match has poor effort? This completely subjective and a nonsense reason to expect him to receive the amount of vitriol he does. Also you are almost admitting the criticisms are over-the-top by noting the "insanely high expectations". I'm glad you stated these reasons as they look even more ridiculous.

Mendy for City parties all the time, plays like shit, never trains well and is permanently injured yet no one is attacking him, because race isn't a big factor.
Weird example as Mendy isn't anywhere near as well-known or talked about. You should visit a Premier League Game thread. He's been called shit on the Caf ever since he came back from his injury.

It's all about expectations - we thought Pogba would be amazing and world class but he is a fair weather player who has been ok but nowhere near his potential levels.
Insanely high expectations for a player with a squad and manager everyone seems to think is shit. Potential doesn't exist in a vacuum. It's a team game.

I’m far from a Pogba fan mate, I’m just not overly biased against him like some (you)

Wondering why no fuss is made about Rashford going to the Grammys whist out injured?

If this was Pogba it would be top story in the mail and a lot of the posters here would be digging in on Pogba.

Not a mention about it from the pundits...must be cause he’s English.
