Spot light on Pogba. He wants to be the attention.Let's say Pogba briefed his agent to come out with this right before the Leipzig game.. What were the benefits of this?!

he has the young CM from Ajax looks an excellent player, name escapes me but he looks superb.Agree. De Ligt or Haaland should be off the table until they change agent. He doesn't have any other good clients does he.
Yeah we can forget either of them unless they have the guts to leave himAgree. De Ligt or Haaland should be off the table until they change agent. He doesn't have any other good clients does he.
he gets a move as he cannot stay at the club anymoreLet's say Pogba briefed his agent to come out with this right before the Leipzig game.. What were the benefits of this?!
Will cost in the £100m range now,if he has a good euros then that price would really go through the roofI think Pogba fancies himself as a box-to-box midfielder which is quite a rarity today, so it'll be near-impossible to find a like for like replacement. Honestly, I feel any central mid with a remotely decent reputation will be an upgrade on Pogba right now.
Grealish can play central and attacking mid so he's a good option. The only drawback is that he'll cost a bomb in January.
Haaland is valued at 80m euro by Transfermarkt. I don't think Villa has enough magic mushrooms to imagine that Grealish is worth £100m. I hope.Will cost in the £100m range now,if he has a good euros then that price would really go through the roof
Aye, pretty much, which is why I can't see any business getting done before next summer.Will cost in the £100m range now,if he has a good euros then that price would really go through the roof
Our only hope is something in this new contract that says he can leave for a certain fee if a top club makes an approachHaaland is valued at 80m euro by Transfermarkt. I don't think Villa has enough magic mushrooms to imagine that Grealish is worth £100m. I hope.
Prophet SAF, the one and only.So all these years later we can safely conclude what we knew all along: SAF never suffered fools as gladly as fans do.
And the reliable source for all that is?I think you may be under rating the power Raiola has. When Pogba left Juve he made it clear he wanted Madrid. Everything seemed to point to that direction until Raiola introduced his agent fees and Florentino told him to sling his hook. We were the only club willing to pay his fees which is why Pogba came back in the first place. Not because he loved United
De Ligt the same. Barca and Ajax reached an agreement until Raiola wanted 20% of the transfer fees and was once again told to sling his hook. There was definate interest from the 2 respective clubs because Raiola insulted them both.
Sounds more like a prediction than a conspiracy theory.Without reading the previous 8 pages, here's my conspiracy theory:
Raiola is trying to force the move sooner, rather than later, by sowing discord into the team as they are about to kick off in a game that can drop them to the Europa League. But Ole will keep Pogba on the bench, we'll win anyway, and Pogba is left with a choice: Fire Raiola or leave. He becomes persona non grata in the clubhouse until something happens.
Gravenberchhe has the young CM from Ajax looks an excellent player, name escapes me but he looks superb.
So why doesn't he put his head down, work harder than ever to nail down a place in the squad to showcase how good a footballer he is?Any ambitious very good footballer at pogba's age, would/should not content sitting on the bench often.
Casemiro has declined greatlyNot really. They will sign Mbappe, has Zidane and has Casemiro to support his sluggishness in midfield.
Yeh, it makes no sense as a player to go with wherever an agent gets the highest fee. I mean maybe I'm underestimating how dumb Pogba actually is but if he really wanted Madrid, he'd ditch his agent and get the move sorted.And the reliable source for all that is?
If Haaland in the future goes to Real Madrid, it will be because Haaland wants to go there, not because Raiola tells him to.
Do you mean a CM or more of a CDM who can actually pass the ball forwardI’m not bothered; we’ve been at the end of this road for a long time now.
Sell him for a respectable fee and bring in a more suitable midfield replacement. Somebody who can partner up with a Fred or Van de Beek and pick a pass.
Put the rest of the money into fixing that right bloody wing.
No sane manager would pay anywhere near that for Pogba, we should simply take the first sensible offer we get and get shot of him and use the money we save not having to shell out an inflated wage to match his over inflated ego on other players.Will cost in the £100m range now,if he has a good euros then that price would really go through the roof
A midfielder who can both pass the ball well and defend effectively. McTominay but a lot, lot better.Do you mean a CM or more of a CDM who can actually pass the ball forward
Was referring to how much Villa are likely to want for Grealish,sorry if that caused you any confusionNo sane manager would pay anywhere near that for Pogba, we should simply take the first sensible offer we get and get shot of him and use the money we save not having to shell out an inflated wage to match his over inflated ego on other players.
If thats the case, that his agent sent him to a Juve and not Real as he wanted, then Pogba should sack him, as any player with any sense at all would do. The agent works for the player, the player does not work for him.And the reliable source for all that is?
If Haaland in the future goes to Real Madrid, it will be because Haaland wants to go there, not because Raiola tells him to.
He can do the defending side but definitely lacks that ability to pass the ball effectivelyA midfielder who can both pass the ball well and defend effectively. McTominay but a lot, lot better.
Makes his position untenable, lowers his market value and therefore forces a move sooner.Let's say Pogba briefed his agent to come out with this right before the Leipzig game.. What were the benefits of this?!
He doesn't want to work hard. And he doesn't want to sit on the bench. I think it's pretty obvious those are two separate issues.So why doesn't he put his head down, work harder than ever to nail down a place in the squad to showcase how good a footballer he is?
He's not on the bench because Ole has something against him, he hasn't been very good these past few months.
Yeah, I think it would be easier to take if it was a Gerrard-esque situation where Pogba had taken us as far as he could with amazing performancs. He's so frustrating.He doesn't want to work hard. And he doesn't want to sit on the bench. I think it's pretty obvious those are two separate issues.
Of course it's frustrating. It doesn't do us and him any good. So he's better be off where he can do less work, and still on starting XI.Yeah, I think it would be easier to take if it was a Gerrard-esque situation where Pogba had taken us as far as he could with amazing performancs. He's so frustrating.
I would be happy, but i don't think he would get in their teamswould we be happy if he went to City or Chelsea? They at least would have the money.
will be very difficult to sell him in January. Like you say, very few clubs have the money.
personally I agree, but I will bet my house Woodward won't see it that way.Let him go for a reduced price then. #1 priority should be to get him out the club, I’ll pop open a bottle of bubbly once him and his scumbag agent are gone and this circus can be someone else’s problem.
Well it looks like we wanted him but he had his money grabbing agent in his ear. Pogba left the club for money and fame and returned for money and fame and will leave again chasing money and the adulation he wants.Sir Alex's thoughts on Mino.
Completely agree with all the comments disagreeing with me suggesting he had a good performance. Why did I say it then? Because it felt like he showed something, and in his context of underachievement that was a positive. I've long thought that he needs to go, I forget the game, but there was an instance a season or 2 ago where if he'd been a tiny bit keener to get the ball he'd have been able to shoot and probably score. I forget which game & it might not have come over on TV, but from the stand, seeing him just look half-arsed was the point where I gave up on him. It doesn't matter what he says, if he's going to show a total lack of commitment like that, he's not a United player. For whatever reason that is. Players are human, they get distracted or lose motivation. Maybe he just doesn't like the game in the PL? He bossed it at Juve, but in the prem, if you're a star player you get fouled & wrestled and you get no space or time. He always plays as though he expects to be given more of both. And in this day and age, in the PL, that's not something you get.really good performance ?
Apart from the goal I thought he was terrible on saturday
Madrid’s president which I forgot his name because I had too many I guess, doesn’t want Pogba because his agent, the guy is cancer to any clube and that reflects on the playerPogba will get destroyed in madrid. I hope he goes there. Its funny though pogba put in 1 decent performance all season. Fans get a bit happy towards him and his agent cokes outn blabbering is stupid fat mouth. I hope pogba wises up and drops that dickhead as an agent. Pure cancer
