that's the thing now though just look at the number of free transfers this summer.
All part of the Pogba circus.
Because its not a random tweet? A few French journalists have now said PSG are interested in Pogba and Pogba is interested in their project
Thats the worry. Woodward and Judge are still in the picture and theyve made some crazy contract decisions in the past. Pogbas already on a third more than Fernandes. Increasing that disparity for a player who frequently isnt chosen for the first 11 in favour of players on far lower wages would be a typically poor decision.
It is a random tweet.
Ole will play him if he won’t extend. No point cutting off his nose to spite his face. Maybe he’d be quicker to bench him after a poor performance or give game time to VDB but he definitely won’t be exiled.
But the question is if it's believable.
But do you wish him a speedy recovery?
Even the constant totally pointless renewing of Mata's deals worries me a bit.
It's becoming very likely that VDB was signed for Pogba's leaving. He's not like for like replacement but position for position replacement. CM replaced by another CM. 35m plus 5m adds on is still a big fees for midfielder, thus it makes little sense if the plan for VDB was always been a backup.
To be fair, how many years has it been where we haven't all thought he'd rather be somewhere else? He's been at the club longer with us expecting him to leave than being happy to be here. He'll play, and the reception will be how it was last season.
Never going to do that. He will just keep quiet until the very end.
At this point I would take £50m, we know raiola wants a massive fee, so if we want a fee this year, we need to take that into account.
Just like last time.
For £60m, Utd would snap their hand off. Problem being his fecking agent would probably want half of it.
Exactly. Come to think of it there are not many players that come out publicly and say they are not signing a new deal. I just cannot see anyone paying the fee for him now plus the wages he would be looking for.
Agreed. Lets hope it happens. They really need to convince Mbappe that they are serious about winning CL. Signing Donnarumma, Hakimi, Ramos and hopefully Pogba would maybe start to sway him? Who knows. Anyway anything around or about £50mil would be good.
Dunno where to start with this so just going to write it off as absolute bollocks.
That really doesn't get talked about enough. Quite possibly the worst deal in history, even if he was putting in Ronaldo like figures it still would be bad.
Absolute bollocks that Pogba's lack of tracking back led to United conceding soft goals?, or absolute bollocks that we should expect him to always track back?
Apparently Hazard would've resigned with Chelsea so the length of contract left wasn't a factor and Perez had been a long time admirer.
Absolute bollocks that you think footballers should be able to match a marathon record and use that as a basis for anything football related.
It's well known that many thousands of top male athletes can achieve women's world record feats. Fitness-wise, I expect top football players to be able to get within 10% of it. Run 15 miles in a match. I don't expect them to do it. But when they don't track back they better not cite tired legs and lungs as their excuse.
Do you think he'll have the same level of commitment over the season? From say February he'll probably not be giving his best because he's saving himself up from injury for a free transfer not to mention the inevitable noise in the media on where he'll go or Mino's noise on Pogba's future which will look VERY bad for us image wise. Keeping him does not benefit us and if it does it'll be little and not worth the hassle. Freeing up his wages AND getting a fee is better than letting him go for free
These are two of the stranger posts I've seen for this week
This went over my head. Is it a reference to something I should know?
Far from it!
