Bring him back. We need him. Just don’t give him stupid wages that has a negative trickle down effect.
We've missed him in the midfield but, it was hardly a title challenge and we would come way short even with him.Tweet

Given how our title challenge basically withered away as soon as he went down, I wouldn't be against it at all.
We're a much much stronger and consistent side with him in it. Building on the spine we have with 1 or 2 more additions makes me believe we'd have the necessary squad to compete on all fronts
Yup. Glad at least a lot of posters here now acknowledge his importance to the squad.Tweet

Nonsense sorry, Pogba was a big reason in our good form this season, no surprising that the moment he got injured we've dipped massively.The only thing we will ever win relying on Pogba is the Europa League. We still have too much work to do and we need players that are fully committed.
All it takes is 3 goals and 1 month of decent performances after 2 years of almost nothing for fans to be creaming themselves over him again. He’s not worth making the highest paid player at the club on the back of that once you weigh everything up but weve seen the club make the huge contract mistake regularly so I don’t see why we’d do anything different here. We’ve also seen them not properly replace outgoing players so either way we are fecked. Better the devil you know I suppose... can’t wait for 4 more years of this.

i do have an agenda against him. He’s not worth whatever we will end up paying him and it’ll no doubt hold us back from making a few smarter signings. he was very poor value for money over the last 5 years and just because the glazers and some fans on redcafe think it’s a good idea to give him a big new deal it doesn’t mean I have to agreeNothing screams "I have an agenda against Pogba" more than these sorts of quotes.
Pogba at what, 85m was a much better deal than 80m for Maguire, 50m for AWB, 50m for Fred or 40m for VdB.i do have an agenda against him.

He most likely would only get a marginal increase on the contract he is on right now, no club would offer him more and he knows it. Fully expect De gea to remain the club highest paid for a few more years and your point about not replacing him is precisely why I believe every fan should be hoping he stays.All it takes is 3 goals and 1 month of decent performances after 2 years of almost nothing for fans to be creaming themselves over him again.

I don’t know... maguire for his flaws is always available to play and seems like a humble guy. He’s a good player. Pogba is a talented player but as I said in the martial thread. Talent without application and drive = 6th place. This will just be another ready made excuse for not reinvesting decent fees into more suitable players and new ideas. It’s just the glazers playing football manager as far as Im concerned. If they’d rather pay Matic 150k a week for the next 2 years than reinvest then you can bet they’ve been cooking up a big deal for Paul. If this is our plan I’m looking forward to another few years of battling for top 4, patchy performances and agent shenanigans. Id be willing to bet we don’t ever win anything serious with Pogba and Martial in the team.Pogba at what, 85m was a much better deal than 80m for Maguire, 50m for AWB, 50m for Fred or 40m for VdB.
We regularly do poor value for money deals. Bar Bruno I can't think of many of our recent transfers that have been value for money.
Its hardly an agenda, he is right. Few weeks of good performances and all is forgotten, that's the state of this place.Nothing screams "I have an agenda against Pogba" more than these sorts of quotes.
Absolutely. Holding the club to ransomIts hardly an agenda, he is right. Few weeks of good performances and all is forgotten, that's the state of this place.
Anyone who thinks he will just get a 'marginal' raise is delusional. He will want an astronomical increase given he is free to sign elsewhere in 9 months. Past behaviour is best predictor of future behaviour, specially with PP and Raiola.
I doubt it’s possible. He could never be happy, he hates United. He’ll only be happy in Spain. Or Italy. Or Paris.The one major plus is if we keep Pogba happy (if that’s even possible, he’s been on about leaving for 4 years!!!) we probably have a better shot at Haaland.
he’s happy wherever there’s a raise. He just wanted it to be somewhere else but somewhere else doesn’t exist this summer so he starts playing nice. How can smart people such as yourself not see straight through it?I doubt it’s possible. He could never be happy, he hates United. He’ll only be happy in Spain. Or Italy. Or Paris.
Ooh, he sounds terrible.he’s happy wherever there’s a raise. He just wanted it to be somewhere else but somewhere else doesn’t exist this summer so he starts playing nice. How can smart people such as yourself not see straight through it?
he doesn’t really. He just doesn’t sound in any way committed or genuine so fans wanting us to double down and spunk another 100 plus million on PP are about to get their wish. It’s going to be great!Ooh, he sounds terrible.
Sounds like you hear from him a lot. Well, if what you say is true, hopefully our board see through the the sly cunning fox and the big bad wolf of an agent and don’t offer him 100m. Given 100m was his game all along for the last, 4 years I think you said it was, he’ll have no choice but to leave, and head to the highest bidder. My money is on Qatar or China next.he doesn’t really.

Maybe he’ll go to China this summer. They pay the most money I hear. Sounds like him.
If our owners weren’t totally inept they’d have sold him by now and reinvested the money.Sounds like you hear from him a lot.

He wants to win. We haven't been anywhere near ambitious or smart enough to win titles and Pogba was never going to be enough to change that. We haven't had a right wing since Nani, for a club of our size, that's outrageous.he’s happy wherever there’s a raise. He just wanted it to be somewhere else but somewhere else doesn’t exist this summer so he starts playing nice. How can smart people such as yourself not see straight through it?
To who? Plenty of teams want him, but year after year none of them stump up either the cash or wages to actually do it. It's looking more and more like it'll be that story again this summer.If our owners weren’t totally inept they’d have sold him by now.
But alas, they have shown complete ineptitude by not selling Paul Pogba. What will become of us?!If our owners weren’t totally inept they’d have sold him by now.
same shite as the last few years. An EL final here and there. You must be overjoyedBut alas, they have shown complete ineptitude by not selling Paul Pogba. What will become of us?!
I’m with you mate. Anyone could see from years ago that if we had just gotten Pogba out of our team, everything else was set for us to win major honours.same shite as the last few years. An EL final here and there. You must be overjoyed
How come the we are spending enough arguments only come out when we are slating a manager or defending the owners? The owners have spent a stack on Pogba and other shite and look where we are. That’s what you get for trying to build around Pogba. Also look at all the calls our owners have made. If they think giving Pogba a new deal is a good idea it’s most likely a terrible idea and even if it was a good idea they’d still find some way to mess it up.He wants to win. We haven't been anywhere near ambitious or smart enough to win titles and Pogba was never going to be enough to change that.

Isn't Pogba already on 290k per week, behind only De Gea?
I'm not sure we'll offer him much more. I think what De Gea is on (375/wk?) was a mistake, as was Sanchez, and we'll start rowing back from these inflated salaries. Who else in the premier league gets close to 300k per week?

Agreed. How can we play with a midfielder who has had only one decent game in four years?? It's impossible.I’m with you mate. Anyone could see from years ago that if we had just gotten Pogba out of our team, everything else was set for us to win major honours.
This is the second time he’s held us to ransom over a contract. Correct.Tweet

Don’t get dragged into Ali Dia’s obsessing about figures because if we stick to reality, none of this Paul Pogba ‘saga’ over recent years has been remotely suggested to be about salary. No point creating a whole parallel narrative as this particular poster has about motivations being for a raise, and at a certain point, minds being changed due to not receiving offers of x amount, and now being willing to renegotiate on the condition of being paid y amount. It’s all 100% conjecture seemingly borne our of a desire to validate the irrational with something rational.
There have been no mentions of us sitting down at the table but only fussing over a figure, not once. It’s very easy for such things to just get thrown around baselessly and then become established as fact when most people would have little desire to examine the detail anyway. That’s how a casual money-grabber label gets thrown at people, with little basis.
Playing poorly on purpose is not something that benefits any player.he’s happy wherever there’s a raise. He just wanted it to be somewhere else but somewhere else doesn’t exist this summer so he starts playing nice. How can smart people such as yourself not see straight through it?
Playing poorly on purpose is not something that benefits any player.
Your verging on conspiracy theory here when it comes to Pogba.
Ever since he arrived and prior to Bruno’s arrival more often than not he’s been our main source of creativity, sometimes our top scorer and assist provider.
He’s an elite talent, not without his flaws, but a top talent all the same. What we need to do is keep our best players and get the most from them.
Do you honestly believe we will sign a replacement who will be an improvement in quality over Pogba?
Out recent dip in results coincides perfectly with Pogba’s latest injury.
How have you arrived at the conclusion that Pogba has ‘held us to ransom twice over a contract?’. I’d like to see your working out, as they say in school.This is the second time he’s held us to ransom over a contract. Correct.
I assume we spent 90 million bringing him back on the understanding he wanted to be back here for the long term to build around. We made him captain and all. Captain We don’t win enough stuff so a year and a half into his deal he starts crying about leaving again. We fire the manager for him and then under the new manager he still keeps going on about leaving any chance he can get. Solid solid investment going for more of that. You should call Pogba and see if he needs any help with his PR
Isn’t. We done it.Agreed. How can we play with a midfielder who has had only one decent game in four years?? It's impossible.
Stop making stuff upJose made him vice captain but very quickly took it off him.

As everybody knows he’s held us to ransom over 2 contracts. He wanted guaranteed playing time with Fergie or he was gone and whatever this contract is. The you’re so lucky to still have me contract? He signed in 2016 and was publicly quoted in 2019 and many times since trying to get a move. I think his agent was spouting long before that.
Fair enough good on you. You’re a fan. I’m not. You can go around defending him while he’s jogging around the place in the Europa league or on the left wing in the CL on Sanchez money wishing Real Madrid wanted him but they don’t do they because he’d be there by now if they did. You’re the one with the agenda here if you just ignore all the past evidence the contrary. If he’s so good how come we never got offered more than a few quid and a player for him while the buying clubs have been splashing the cash elsewhere no problem? I don’t know what his new deal is going to be like. Let’s see shall we before we talk any more about it. I’m sure it’ll be another huge win for the club.
