You're making things up, where's the animosity. On paper he's our best player, unfortunately his form has always been up and down and if anything a lot more fans were finding every excuse imaginable for him rather then giving him abuse. He can't take even the minimum criticism cause of his inflated ego yet he thinks he won't get that at the club like Madrid.
Making what up? ‘Things’ is a tad vague.
Did you miss the video plastered all over the internet of the fan pelting him after the end of season lap of [dis]honour.
Pogba is our best player. Does that mean he always plays to the optimum of his ability no.
I’m actually done with all of our players & have no issue with them being sold, £150mil for Pogba is a good deal by anyone’s standards but selling Pogba now misses the point imo, sell from the bottom up & if he’s still sulking get rid once we’ve improved other key areas.
Just loook at this forum & social media, that’s not animosity it’s much worse.
Calling Pogba’s form below expectations is one thing, claiming selling him in lie of keeping other less talented players seems imbo
We’re already replacing Herrera, that will likely be a first team signing, so that’s one spot. As you’ve said Mctom will get a lot of games, likely another spot taken. Unless you are assuming we signing squad level players. So you have to think we’ll sell pogba and buy one midfielder in order for those to play signficiant games. We’re already going to get a midfielder to replace Herrera and I think we won’t replace Pogba like for like, so more than likely get two midfielders - possibly more.
Ok we’ve not signed anyone, but to say we’re going to play with two of the poorest performing midfielders from last season, next season for significant games, is just not likely.
We we’re light with Pogba & Herrera, replacing them man for man & expecting another ‘extraordinary’ improvement from McTom seems ‘unlikely’.
Fred is a £50mil investment & Matic was brought back for make or break games at the end of the season. They will both start more games than McTom save another big step from McT.
But we are arguing over something that may happen, I take your points on board.
