Paul Pogba / turned down United offer of 300k as “nothing”

The Cole thing was always a bit overblown.

He was verbally offered 60k by the owner and then when the written offer came through they'd reduced it to 55k. Obviously still a feckload but Cole was annoyed at being lied to rather than not being paid enough.

The papers obviously framed it as "Cole unhappy with £55k" rather than "Cole unhappy at being lied to by club owner".

"I almost crashed my car in anger, they're taking the piss".

:lol:
 
C'mon now. The more Pogba gets paid the more that trickles down to his barber, his personal chef, his personal trainer, his brand manager, his lawyers. Don't forget he can than splurge more on his family so all of the peasants that serve them would also be treated to more business.

People need to really rethink their high strung attitude on the wealthy. It's not like they launder their money to avoid taxes and stuff it away in high returns funds and act all skint when it comes to tipping.

he doesn’t just earn what he earns playing football though... this guy is on serious money even without kicking a ball...
 
It speaks fecking volumes that PSG, madrid, barcelona, bayern and every other major club haven't even put out feelers, let alone given him an offer. On a FREE.

He's had to feck off back to juve on a paycut, probably only because his agent has connections there.

Let that sink in.

There are people who still rate him but I was never a fan of all the circus around him since he joined Manchester United. My thoughts were that he was overpriced and the United should had got rid of both him and Mourinho and cut their losses with him, although him staying in United worked in our favor as we never signed him as Zidane wanted.
 
When has Pogba disrupted the dressing room? Please point me to where you got this information.

All reports say otherwise by the way:

“Rangnick valued Pogba’s efforts to mediate aspects of the dressing room. He was also one of the players to command major respect from Cristiano Ronaldo.

Pogba gave encouragement to centre-back Harry Maguire whose final touch had been to clear the ball into the stands. “We have to believe in ourselves,” Pogba said. “You’re an £80 million player for a reason.”

On another occasion, when a meeting of some players with Rangnick about form turned unexpectedly into a targeted tactical discussion, Pogba went back later to apologise to United’s interim manager for the way things had gone.”


He was seemingly one of the few trying to keep the dressing room together

Mourinho saw it differently, if I’m wrong, I’m wrong, but stand by the rest of what I said.

He didn't take paycut, in fact he will be earning more than in Man Utd.
 
The man is an irrelevant, football poseur, prima donna, imposter and traitor. He had been angling to leave the club for best part of three years, undermined the club, and destroyed the dressing room. I recall, one of many sick note Pogba sins, where he is laughing and joking with his former Juve colleagues at half time when we are being thrashed by them in the Champions League. He didn't give a shit. Then there are the 'injuries' and the parties while injured, the trips to Dubai. The pretend-playing, the sauntering back when losing the ball...the list goes on.

The best news of this season so far is his departure. All the documentary does is confirm what I have said all along since he started flirting with Real Madrid and undermined Jose Mourinho. And the smirking social media when he was sacked. He got him sacked. I have never been more pleased at seeing the back of any player in all my many many years as a United nut.

All the nonsense of him being a great player. Nonsense. He isn't. He is a name. That is all. I don't care about his coloured hair, his promotions, go for it. But perform ON the pitch. He doesn't. It is all about his brand. Sadly Lingard, followed in his footsteps. The garbage that is talked about his defenders about him needing top players around him. Look, if he is world class, which he isn't, you don't score fewer goals that Scott McTominay! He [Pogba] is the most overrated player, arguably [no, definitely], of all time.

I will be happy if I never hear his name again.

Juventus paying more than United? They already got into that kind of trouble before with Ramsey so I doubt that’s true

After tax only yes, as in Italy he will have more on his bank account. Before tax, we paid higher than Juve. That is my understanding.

Yup.. nett salary plus add ons and bonuses. Pogba is a 1st class mercenary, he would have renewed the contract with us if Juve pay him less.

Quite an essay for someone who is “irrelevant”.

This. And should we cross paths with the SOB again, I hope someone will go after him the same way Ashley Young gave a rough time to Angel "Snake" Di Maria.
 
All his documentary did was make so many United fans hate him even more.

Odd way to film it.
 
Souness was right all along about him, absolute fraud of a player, pure 7 a side baller. Likes of Kante, Matuidi, Pirlo, Vidal, Herrera, Matic carried him through his career.
 
Hindsight is 20/20 but perhaps Roila was a great agent for getting his players the best deal, but not the best in ever empowering his clients to become legends at a club. Far too much of a business mind but maybe that’s where the game is heading more and more.

I don’t think paying £300K a week to Pogba for the next four years would have been a good idea. His injury record the past three years is not good and there were signs when he came back from injury in January that his legs were going or his stamina shot. Which was not the case previously when he returned from injury.

Best for both parties to move on, he was never loved and didn’t really help himself in that regard. But he was one of a few players worth my ST price to watch for the past five years.

Hopefully ETH gets a better tune out of what’s left at the club than we saw last season and we bring some more quality in as we so desperately need.
 
Probably would've become a great player if he'd listened to SAF instead of that cnut Raiola.

Anyway, feck off Paul, and thanks for nothing.
