I'm just appreciating the effort it took to go to that length of interpretation. Me saying I enjoy spending more time with certain people with whom I share a huge success, doesn't mean it's a dig at others at all.
I don't take it as a dig or that he insulted United with this particular comment, I take it as the easy way for him is to find a new club so it can be refreshing and perhaps get the better out of him. Change of scenery can be good for someone's career. It is no rocket science at all.
He knows what he’s doing
I'm pretty sure most of our players prefer playing with their National team, from some of the responses here i can see why he finds it more refreshing.
That's your own imagination working overtime. He's asked about how he feels about coming back to the national team and that's it. I'm ready to accept that he wants to leave and I personally hope he is gone with a big fee to help the club reinvest. However a simple answer is a simple answer.
Maybe, but most of our players don’t feel the need to repeatedly vocalise it at every opportunity.
If it happens once, shame on you. If it happens 15 times, shame on me.
Besides, there is a bond that is created after you win a huge trophy like that. Utd is in a constant state of negativity, a break from that must be fantastic.
Are we though? I mean, I know the Cafe is a very negative place but is our team? I don’t see that, Pogba aside we seem to have a great bunch of lads.
Bet he can't wait to play in that rose garden at Madrid then!
How is it imagination? more like, an opinion, a reasonable one. A change of scenery could be helpful because as we know Pogba seems to struggle to be able to perform at his best consistently with United. One thing that he did better with Juve and French NT.
do not take what people said about Pogba so personally. Even what you think about his comments can also be interpreted as your imagination. Unless if you are Pogba himself.These players follow social media a lot and they're not completely disconnected from the criticism. It's his own fault because his performances haven't good enough but it's also natural to not enjoy them. In a context where he's won and is appreciated more, it's logical that he enjoys himself there.
We'll soon find out (the coming months).
You know what, I didn't even mean to quote youHow is it imagination? more like, an opinion, a reasonable one. A change of scenery could be helpful because as we know Pogba seems to struggle to be able to perform at his best consistently with United. One thing that he did better with Juve and French NT.
First you came up with 'you thought that was a dig' then when i said i didnt see it that way and explained the reason why, you came up with 'thats your imagination'.
A bit funny isn't it?
My mistake, I had another post in mind when I typed that. I actually agree with this post and I’m glad you acknowledge it is his own fault. He just should stop vocalising his thoughts so much when they are at the expense of his own club. It’s really unprofessional and is a massive reason there is this perpetual backlash. He could literally turn this round easily.
Have you ever thought that fans on here are generally sick to their back teeth of watching shit on a stick every week? The tone you strike implies fans are at fault for the bad atmosphere around the club. The consistently underperforming players escape scot-free as usual. If any of our lads are sick of negativity, perhaps they could pull their fingers out.
I'm not blind, I can see he's been playing terribly this season (he had 2-3 good games after the restart and then went on to drop seriously too). Where I don't agree is the interpretation of these actual quotes as being at the expense of Utd. That's all I'm trying to say. If we can sell him for a good fee, I'm all for it
Saying something like ‘Being here is a breath of fresh air’ usually means things aren’t great, or stale, in your daily surroundings. It’s not a massive dig but it is still a negative slant on Utd.
Honestly, I don't see anything wrong with that. It would some OTT level of control for him to say something that wouldn't be interpreted negatively by Utd fans. I think fans have to realize that they don't matter to that level for footballers.
On its own it is a small thing, the problem I have with Pogba is there are a lot of small things. He’s been an issue for this club since Jose.
Hope this isn't true. Without fans, footballers are just a bunch of guys kicking a ball around for free.
Maybe I'm wrong but truth is I just tried to translate his message. You're welcome to point out what was wrong and why.
Great ?
Exactly! Literally no other player in our squad makes any comments even closely resembling the slight digs Pogba continuously churns out. He’s unhappy and wants out, that’s fine, just show a bit of professionalism and respect.
Yes great. He's a brilliant player in the right team, there is no denying that. He just doesn't fit in our starting lineup anymore and he's too good/high profile to be warming the bench.
"You and his fans always defend him". How do you want me to debate with you when you have such a childish and wrong approach ?Typical cnutish behaviour as usual from him, it's not even interesting anymore, I wonder when will someone from our club stop his childish behaviour. And no one is faking the quotes, it's quite obvious he is enjoying talking to media while he is on international duty, this hapoened literally every time.
Can you explain why is it always Pogba who takes part in these "interesting" interviews and not our other players? There is a reason he does this, and you his fans always defend him when it's obvious he does it intentionall, whether to attracts interests from other clubs, takes dig at his manager, or whatever, but everyone sane can see that he does it intentionally and yet there is always someone here defending him.
And funnily enough it's always during these international periods or while he is out of the club for whetever reason, and yet some of you still defend him, I seriously cannot believe how naive you are.
He isn't playing better for France, hasn't played well in the last few games. When I'm reading these quotes, it just means to me he is happier to see his national teammates. That the bond and joy shared with them is different than at the club ("Ce n'est pas pareil qu'en club" emphasizes the difference and not necessarily the opposition between the 2 situations)
So true, Isn't it? I was just as giddy as you were. I was such a big fan. I'm so disappointed now.I was so giddy when we signed him...I was waiting for slick passing,some bangers of the goals...but he was so bad for us
True. I think we would've been better off taking Pirlo that year rather than Pogba. I think Pirlo had to do more in order to let Pogba show off his skills at Juve and we were too blind sided by his flair than anything else.
I agree with everything you say but if he knew all this will factor into his play, I would probably blame Ole for not seeing it in training. In spite of all that I personally think Pogba can handle simple passes which he hasn't and I think it's more of a form issue and pre season is a huge factor for that. I wonder Bruno is able to cope without pre season over everybody else. He's had just 1 very very bad game since joining us and that was against Istanbul. He's been just brilliant but Pogba has never been that good for 4 years which calls for concern.
