oh dear... if he is that weak, he'd never have made it in professional football. My reason for wanting to sell him is a) he doesn't really seem to want to be at the club and b) he hasn't been anywhere near consistent enough
I said it would be part of the reason bit the only reason. It's naïve to think being irrationality hated wouldn't weigh on someone. Remember when he was our top scorer top assister top everything a few years ago? Yet in the final day of the season he was booed and abused for the failings of others. Yet they where all praised.
Never said it was a crime. Neither is selling him when we can get money for him. If he wants to leave, what's the point of keeping him?
It’s happening with a lot of players, to the point where I was actually surprised that Grealish signed a new contract with Villa last summer. If Pogba doesn’t want to sign then he doesn’t want to sign, we can’t force him. This team can be great without him.
I don't think we have a choice, Madrid and Barcelona can't afford him. Juventus are unlikely to be able to pay a fee and meet his wage expectations. Bayern wont pay those wages. We're unlikely to sell to City or Chelsea. It really leaves PSG and I'm sure they'd be happy to wait a year and pay him his wages in brown envelopes since we're unlikely to sell on the cheap.
Hate is probably too strong a word but it's hardly Irrational to doubt someones commitment to the club when he's openly flaunted his desire to leave at least 3 times that we know of in the last 5 years. If he doesn't show commitment to the club why should we show commitment towards him? I don't blame the player directly. I blame his agent but while Pogba continues to hire his agent the 2 of them can leave tomorrow and I wouldn't bat an eyelid.
The thing is we need a creative replacement for him too
I keep seeing this posted and while agree with the sentiment, if Pogba only wants to go to a certain club and if that club doesn’t come in with an offer knowing they can get him for free next year, then what options does the club have? It’s pretty similar to Mbappe and PSG. There’s feck all either clubs can do here.
Yes I agree here. Then we must be prepared to lose him for nothing next season.
With Bruno, Sancho, Shaw and Rashford in the starting lineup, which will likely be the case for the majority of the season, injuries permitting, we're well-stocked in the creativity department with or without Pogba. We need to back them up by adding more stability to the midfield. An energetic box to box type like Franc Kessie or a limited but solid DM like Rice would suffice. If we do plan to sell Pogba this summer, then we should get it done asap so we have time to find a suitable replacement.
And who is the idiot in this story?
Sourness
Touche and that too.

Nice, any ideas yet what you are going to spend it on?
Transfer fees have gotten too big. A lot of players end up getting priced out of moves. Unless Covid normalizes transfer fees a bit, which we haven't really seen evidence of, then we're going to see more and more players moving on free transfers. And to be honest, you can't blame them either.
Some weirdos prefer him over Bruno. Will never understand that.
Think that quoted figure includes his slice and like you say, we will end up with 40 or 50mill, give or take. Would take it tbh.
If PSG is really interest in him, let’s not price him out of the market to cool off their interest. But of course, let’s see how much they could offer first. I personally think 50m pounds would be an acceptable deal, anything more is a plus.
Them two tweets is like, not co-compatible, comrade.
Let them believe what they like, then we can be smug when McFred are fumbling about in midfield and there is a world of pressure on Bruno to be the creative force from midfield. I'm sure they will turn their attention to Ole and blame him then.
Not good.
Thank you.
