Pep Guardiola: "Raiola offered me Mkhitaryan and Pogba two months ago.
- Thread starter KM
- Start date
I’ve decided today that I detest Guardiola and it’s befause of his implementation of tactical fouls. They are the most infuriating thing in the world. The one sane done on lingard and got away with was worse than lukakus or Herrera’s. How he’s managed to get his players to continuously get away with it for so long is a joke.
He might up the ante and claim he was offered Pochetinno as well.
Don’t believe in all that. Why should he be the highest earner at the club when besides today and a handful of others he’s not played like it? We’ll talk about a better contract at some point next season if he’s the player we all know he can be.
So did this really happen or not?
He is a massive nutcase, isn't he? I bet that's they way he also manages his players, like a fecking OCD junkie.
I know he hadn't been at his best lately but that's a bit harsh.
The more interesting question is whether the result, and particularly this Pogba performance, would’ve happened without the fuel of this whole daft controversy.
I’d like to think not.
Pep clearly tried to use this to unsettle us in my opinion. Which is a shame.
Two days later...
Pep: I was offered Mané and Salah.
The next day a double brace happens.

Which makes it all the sweeter: You couldn’t have written a better response. Especially at half time, when 90% of the Caf would’ve sold Pogba for a Panini pack and a hand full of pineapple chunks.
Anyone defend Pep yet and call Mourinho the liar?
Bit OOT. How's Ballbag doing these days to stir this one up for his beloved Santo Pepitus?
Must be true, i.e., if offering Pogba means Raiola mentioning him in one of his conversations with Pep/City.
Mentioning a name and actually offering are two very different things. It’s clear Pogba has a gripe with Mourinho and Raiola was trying to ack cheeky. In the end, Saint Pep kept this piece of information with him to be used right before the derby.
Knowing Mourinho, he must be fuming inside. This magnanimous attitude is a sham.

I think it probably did happen. I think Raiola was looking to negotiate a new contract for Pogba and was trying to get an offer from another club to take back to Ed, much like Umtiti has done with United recently (and countless other players) and of course Rooney did with City those years ago.
Pep to Pog: “I am so happy for you, believe me so happy. Happy new year!”
Flooding the midfield with mobile phones. Visionary
You know Mourinho?
Yes, I do. Well, you never really know someone till you get inside their heads (including friends and family).
I guarantee Raiola 'offers' Pogba to every big club who will take his call at least once a week. The man's a pimp, it's his job. It's not the same as Pogba asking to move or us having any intention of letting him go.
Ask him who we are targeting for next year then.
Stop being pedantic. If you can’t predict manager’s behaviours based on previous reactions/press conferences then you might as well close this forum.
If you really feel that Jose doesn’t care about what Riola did then share your opinion.
I was being serious.
Or maybe he believes Raiola didn't offer him to City.
Solipsism.
He's pathetic. It's all for show, he's way too aware of himself
Pep has the strangest body language I have seen for any top manager in presser. He just feels so weird tbh even when he won.
There are mind games, and then there is this. This is a bit malicious. Who does this? Even if true, I will like to know what topic brought all of this into the discussion. Was he trying to unsettle the team or wreck Pogba and Jose relationship?
He could barely sit still! Kept wriggeling like T-Bag does when he talks
That's exactly what I meant but couldn't word it better. He keeps moving non stop in the chair which is pretty weird to see.He could barely sit still! Kept wriggeling like T-Bag does when he talks
The only thing that is certain is: If United and City are in a title fight next year.. sparks are going to fly and we’ll see Mourinho revive the rivalry from Spain
If its true then either Pogba asked him to do it because he wants to play for them or the agent did it without his permission, in which case why would he keep him as an agent? If hes not acting within his wishes?
Guardiola is probably lying. Either way, I believe it’s pretty common for most agents to constantly put out feelers.
Very glad that it backfired, the bald cnut can go and feck himself. Raiola too.
This is Pogbas take on the situation:
