Haha, once he’d stood up and was towering over me (I’m 6ft) I thought that I’d better retreat immediately……..
We wouldn't be able to field a full team.
Exactly that's what happened. The price tag and the marketing job that United put on him ruined his way of thinking. Remember in his first season when we were playing Liverpool at Old Trafford and the stadium had ads about his Twitter emoji ?!, and Pogba played a godawful game and caused a pen. Man United handled him pretty poorly.
What’s weird is that I’d always thought he was one of those wiry goalkeepers. On tv he looked broad shouldered, but relatively slight. Nope. Huge fella.
He isn't talking shit. He is talking truth.
He wasn't, it was a huge mistake, the thought off it, the fee, the contract, letting him do whatever the feck he pleased etc etc..
So he was perfect until he came under Mourinho's management?
Yes there was. Just because people don't follow those teams and league doesn't mean everything was fine.
What was he like when let him go on free to Juve ? Ferguson didn't question his discipline or workrate. He questioned his agent and the way he left. The Pogba who played for Man United 2nd time isn't the same one who played for Juve.
More like until Man United decided to make him the icon of their marketing propaganda and build the entire team around him.
I feel like that 75k could have gone to better use than a party
What a fanny. Don't come in with the insider anecdotes if you aren't going to put your balls on the line. Behaviour of a scouser.
Once again. If you knew what was happening in Juventus you wouldn't write that. 0 discipline. 0 workrate. 99 selfpromotion on social media.
Yes it does. It is still disrespectful and there should be consenquences. If you add that these guys make more money than any average person would dream of it is even worse. Lazy, disrepectful, non-educated, selfish people.
For white and blue collar workers at the club? Sure. However, as stated that the club lack the punishment system, it's just between the players' thing. They're not responsible to fund raising to give back to the club where in the end the owner may just take this money for themselves in form of dividends. It's also weird to use this fund for donation to charity and leaking club affair explaining about donation being funded by A B C because A B C were often late to training.
I really would be surprised if that's true. Skipping 3 weeks training in a row would be grounds for dismissal and you'd definitely be sold in the very next window.
Pretty obvious Howson is making that story up.
Don't think the player in question would've gone on and done videos with him if he had made that up about him.
Who was the player?
Ravel
Oh wow nevermind, I could absolutely believe it about him. He's the only one I'd believe such a crazy story about.
I think it was supposedly at Lazio, he realised that if he did a certain amount of consecutive training then he could fly home for a certain period and miss training for a while with no major repercussions.
Well he actually named the player so he either have proof of what he's saying or else he's walking on very thin water especially since the player in question still plays football
A few years ago Aston Villa's fine list got leaked. Late for training was valued at 500 quid. 75k/500 quid means 150 late-commings. With our scheudle (league, cl, cups) i dont think we actualy do more than 4/5 training sessions a week. So i wonder how many people were late on a constant basis.
You're allowed to be a shit trainer if you put in the performances Hazard did for Chelsea.
No problem kicking those two already laying, Matic, while the ones still standing are referred to as "a couple of other players". Name no one, Matic, or name them all.
