Probably just typical BS from the Sun, but hypothetically speaking, at £500K/week I would expect no less than an 8/10 performance every match. That's not going to happen.
Pogba Future
- Thread starter wolvored
- Start date
Pay the man. He is our only true star player at the minute. We should be building the team around him for the next 4 to 5 years. If it takes 500k a week to do it then so be it. Real, Barca, Juve, they pay their top players the top bucks. He's our top player.
I would have commented if that's was not the Sun. Not even worth reading the article in that case imo.
By the time the actual negotiation starts, it will be 700k
Is it not like 6 goals are from penalties? Makes his numbers look a lot worse in that scenario.
He hasn't got the mental strength to be a Manchester United player. If he could combine a 100% effort with his undoubted talent then you would have one of the best players in the world. Unfortunately, he can't be arsed a lot of the time and in that case it is like starting the match with only 10 players.
Starting with 10 players? Since Ole took over Pogba has been Man Utd's best player, so I don't think you really know what you are talking about.
Time to do some serious business with Zidane,if they genuinely want Pogba,De Gea and Bailly then our minimum demand should be Varane,Kroos plus cash!
Woodhead has seriously fecked us with the Sanchez contract,every player is now going to demand huge increases,we need to stand firm in most cases.

We can take Varane but we don't want anyone else. We should just rinse them and use that money to snap up the best young talent there is. We don't need more players on the wane costing silly wages.
You must admit the initial 2 week buzz before we realize they're past it is almost worth it. We've got Schweinsteiger! We've got Sanchez! And then we can all get on with doing what we love doing most: whining like a savage pack of unpleasable hyenas.
Well with that analogy it's actually like starting with 8 players when you include Lingard and Young, they may be arsed but are rubbish most of the time.
Matter of time before his gone. Not being in the champion league next season will be a blow, this might push him of leaving this summer.
I don’t get how we question the mental strength of a player who wins the World Cup starting for his country in comparison with how things stand the 6th place team in our league.
We are all United fans but have a bit of realism to your logic. As I’ve said before Pogba is not the problem.
C'mon mate. Everything will be fine when we get rid of Pogba. Ditch the suspect David De Fraud too and we have got the making of a proper late 80s United side.
The stuff lukakus representative came up with is a lot worse

I'd like to think Ole has a lot more "cash: in the MUFC bank than Jose did...
I know it's The Sun.. but they are claiming he wants £500,000 a week. what do the old rooney haters have to say to that? I've got two words for him: Feck Off!
he is so far from being a star that he's not even in the same universe as the likes of Ronaldo. build the team around him and disaster looms
I don't see anything wrong with a player wanting to play in multiple countries throughout his career. You can't expect non-British people to want to live in Greater Manchester or Cheshire all their life. I'd rather be living and working abroad if I had the opportunity too.
This is why a longer term planning and a Director of Football are so important to manage the squad outside of the short term periods of each manager.
Pogba out, Coutinho in would be a decent transfer in both financial and football terms.
About the same age, about the same productivity about the same quality, but we'd probably make a profit.

I get this hunch, you don't like Paul Pogba? Is that fair to say?
Same quality? coutinho cannot lace PP's boots. One is argusbly top 3 talent in the world and the other one can't make a name for himself at Barce. PP playing along side the likes of Messi, dembele and suarez will rack up 25 assists minimum for the season.

How?
You choose what you want to believe because you don't like the player. even started saying 'I know it's the sun'.
Well i mean, 500k a week is about half what Cristiano gets. So yeah, not in the same universe
Not sure about the £500,000 per week as it comes from The Sun. But I have thought all along that paying Sanchez ridiculous wages (I've read between £350,000-£500,000) was going to come back to haunt us as any player knows that we are willing to pay ridiculous wages and if they think they are on that level many are going to ask for ridiculous wages. Personally I want him to stay but he might be concerned about winning the Champions League and he may think that he has a lot better chance of winning it at Real than here.

Any quotes so I don't have to click?
Looking at our fixtures I honestly can’t see us finishing fourth.
With that in mind will Pogba demand to go? Personally I hope he does go, I’ve said it since I joined this forum, he’s a bloody liability. If only he would play a bit because at the moment his performance are not going to generate the transfer money that is been banded around here.
I think we will be lucky to get what we paid for him, I mean just look at his last few outings since PSG, would you pay £100+ I wouldn’t let alone the wages he’s supposedly asking for.
And this crap about him being our best player, what a joke, if Lindelhof and Shaw played with his attitude and at his performance level we’d be leaking more goals and probably be in seventh or Worse!

Economic what now? I highly doubt we have financial problems.
If Pogba wants to leave I'd let him go for the right offer, 80m plus Varane or 150m.
Plus Pogba loves running from deep into the oppo box and is quite lethal in there. Imagine him on the end of some of Messi's passes? He'd probably not only get all those assists but reach Lampard numbers, too!
I disagree. This is what we should do:
1) Sell Sanchez. Subsidize his wages if necessary
2) give Pogba a pay rise. He's our best outfield player.
3) buy Eriksen. Should cost 25-30 M
Midfield would be strengthened substantially.
and look what you get from Ronaldo in return (and have done for 10 years)
well rooney's salary was never revealed (it was just press stories) so I don't get your pointYou choose what you want to believe because you don't like the player. even started saying 'I know it's the sun'.
indeed you are
So many very strange posters about these days.
nothing against him as a person.. he just happens to be one of the most overratted footballers to have pulled on a Unied shirt
I'm going take a wild guess and say this is a joke...
or written by a scouser!
If he's in the last year of contact levy won't want to lose him for nothing. The new stadium won't pay for itself.
I've taken some low blows on here, but this takes the cake!
