Mate I broke my ankle a year and 5 months ago ad I'm still iffy when it come to just running. Not all injuries are the same and if he was already gone then I'm sure the press would have had a leak by now. He's gone in the summer no doubt but he's just injured right now. As of right now he's been out since the 29/30 of September. That's around 6-7 weeks. The guy also featured against Rochdale and aggravated his injury. If we had already decided to sell him would we have played him against Rochdale? The guy is injured and will play for us again and then will leave in the summer when it's easier to replace him.
Is Pogba as good as gone?
- Thread starter Irrational.
- Start date
Nah. Club insiders will often be privy this kind of workplace gossip before outsiders. Just think about your own office or school.
Broke my own ankle, took the cast off myself to go to watch a united game. He’s dragging this one out without guilt or shame.
I don't think he is necessarily faking the injury, but we can all see that he has always missed important games for us in the last few years. Either through injuries, red cards, or both. I think at this point, it is in the best interests of both club and player to part ways. Pogba is in his prime and tbh I don't think the majority of the supporters have liked him ever since he walked out as a teenager. And we don't look like we are challenging for anything in the near future. Sell him to Madrid, PSG or Juventus and move on.
That said, get rid of the fat cnut Luke Shaw as well. If he was fond of eating, he should have become like Matt Stonie and stuff himself with hotdogs. He should have never become a professional footballer. Just sell him, he is a waste of space.

I mean, you are not going to make high energy sprints or cover kilometers in 90 minutes, are you? The circumstances are so different.
He's miles off still.
Not ruling out the possibility of him raising his game from average 5 to average 6 but not expecting miracles either. Our midfield recruitment in the past 6 years has been the worse of any big club this century.
I worked at United in 2008, the same time as the Ronaldo to Madrid stories went off. I worked in merchandising and there were people I worked with who’s jobs were to place forward orders for stock. They’d be ordering stock 12 months in advance of it being delivered.
I can tell you categorically that anyone with sky sports news knew more than anyone of us on a day to day basis. If we didn’t hear it in the news, we didn’t hear it.
But sure your mate who cleans the toilets of Carrington.....Ed’s first call is to him.
Your mates full of shite.
Why? Anyhow I don't think he'll play for United again.
I don't mind that kinda stuff normally, if the players want to let their hair down and act the goat in their spare time what's the harm, but when the Manager comes out and said what he did recently it just feels as though Pogba with all the uncertainty over his future is saying you ain't stopping me pal.
The post you replied to is... the logical fallacy. To suggest that it's "common" knowledge, even with the everyday staff, that the star player of the club won't be playing until January, and journalists.. who's ENTIRE job is digging up stories from their sources, wouldn't possibly have heard about this, is about as plausible as the moon hoaxers thinking out of 50,000 people working at NASA in the 60's, no one would have spilled the beans. It just does not happen that way.
In other news, here is the player in question on day #2 of his rehabilitation training in Miami: https://www.instagram.com/paulpogba/?hl=en (click his thumbnail/face) - He's working on what we would expect him to work on: Ligament strength, balance, muscles.
I have a friend who is friends with some Utd players and they keep this all close to their chest, as do the club.
But believe me there will be plans and options in place, there will be more than three clubs after him.
For me he just undermines the team management to much, he only cares about pogba.
Pogba won’t leave in January unless there are definite replacements.
So who do you seriously think we could buy in January that fits the current transfer strategy?
Which club are willing to let our likely targets go in January?
Madison? Nope
Who else?

The way some of you come to conclusions about Pogba based on nothing is really bizarre.
He won’t leave in Jan unless the price is heavily discounted. He’s not worth the sort of money we’d demand, any club paying £100m+ Would be stupid.
McT being injured for Sheff U is a bigger loss than Pogba. Wouldn’t be bothered if he left or stayed at this point.

Ya I can just imagine Ed calling Pogba into his office and telling him to fake an injury so he doesn’t have to play until January and we’ll play his full wages also.
There are a some mind boggling thoughts on Pogba.

It's personal with Pogba, I would hazard a guess why but... We all know for some what it's really about.
And what is that?
Yeah it’s easy to see.
Maybe he won't.
But if that's the case, an agreement for a transfer is in place.
United will - rightly - want a decent amount for him. By "decent" I mean "obscene", of course, relatively speaking. The number of teams likely to fork out the required amount is slender. And his status, as such, ain't the best.
Nothing indicates that he's "toxic", as people keep claiming. His relationship with Ole is by all accounts good. And he's obviously injured - you have to get into pure conspiracy theory territory to claim otherwise.
Did he want out earlier? Obviously, I'd say. The "time for a new challenge" comment is feckin' obvious enough. Did Raiola intend to get a deal done (with Madrid most likely) at the time? No doubt.
Raiola isn't an idiot, though. The best scenario for him, here and now, is that Pogba recovers from his injury and gets back to doing well for Manchester United - setting him up for doing well for France at the Euros (in which case his status has been boosted - and someone might be willing to splash real cash for him).
Pogba won't leave United in January unless someone (who?) is ready to pay (truly) top dollar for him - and I doubt anyone is, as things stand. And I furthermore think Raiola (not being an idiot) is well aware of this.
This thread is getting ridiculous. Is Pogba leaving yes he is. But I believe it's going to be in the summer. The club and the fat man must have agreed on it. You would be stupid if you thought Raiola would keep quiet without any promises. Chairs would have been thrown in the summer window, words would have been said.
Broke my middle finger once and I was still able to walk. What's Pogba's excuse ?
He and the club are faking it,simple.
Hello.

Hello.
Lost my false teeth in 'Nam; still captured Saddam.
Even during shark week I'm able to go to work so Pogba's got nothing om us females.

Honestly don't give a shit when he leaves, he's a major distraction and never plays well for more than 1/3 of the season with us.
There is actually no come-back to that.
I hope you both aren’t suggesting racism because it’s nothing do with the colour of his skin. I wanted him very much when it became an option.
It's not like he tried to force his way out quietly. He publicly stated at a press event that he wanted a new challenge. If that's not a clear sign of a player being very keen to leave then I don't know what is.
I'm not surprised he'd want to leave. The current situation/project at United is very different to the one he probably envisaged when he was re-joining admist the fanfare of Mourinho's arrival. He's won the world cup and probably feels that he should be playing in the Champions League and challenging for the biggest honours. Signing a new contract would probably tie him to United until his 30s, I don't see that as something Pogba or Raiola will be looking to do.
I'll leave it to United fans to certify whether he'd be a major miss on the pitch or not, but as a neutral looking on I just think a massive asset like that can be used to strengthen a squad that needs investment in basically all areas, especially in midfield.
Of course we miss him, his goals alone would have turned many draws and close defeats into wins in the last few weeks. But the scary thing is that even if he were fit today, he would've been wasted in a deep role as a destroyer rather than his best position, simply because we need the numbers. McT is great and all and Fred seems to be improving, but neither would start for a top 6 side. We need reinforcements regardless of whether he's staying or not.
You dont need magic to find 100m for pogba. His marketing value alone is worth it.
Need i remind you that inter just bought lukaku for 70m. Something i dont envisage an italian team would be able to do. Juve bought de light for 60m. 100m or thereabouts while expensive isnt out of reach
That was in the days of terraces my friend, you want to try it on crutches!
Watching United game == playing professional football
Genius.
Is any of it inaccurate?

I don't remember the reliability of Cadena COPE, but Giæver doesn't just post any old shit. Or does he?
I don't know what he is reporting exactly but it was said on Cope that United locker room thinks that he is going to leave in January. It didn't sound like a solid news but we will quickly see.
If he does, he will probably start off well and make an impact. But as soon as something happens his form will deteriorate to his normal sloppiness.
We need players who are prepared to do whatever it takes and I am sorry but Pogba and Martial as well as many others are simply not tough enough.
The thought of us letting Pogba go in Jan, us bringing no one else in to replace him and having to watch our current midfield for the rest of the season is so beyond grim.
