This.
This, we are in trouble, I think it will be a choice of either A) Sell him off on the cheap or B) Renew his contract with extortionate wages - Neither of which reflect positively on us.
If we give him a pay rise then we need to play him as a centre mid, he is not a DM. I don’t know how every body in the world other than Ole can see this. It’s not like Bruno can’t play CM. Just play him & Pogba as 8s & Matic or Fred behind them. It’s not hard. Ole makes things harder for himself by refusing to shift from the 2 DMs.
I couldn't agree more, I think his reluctance to play with two deep midfielders stems from not being able to trust this defence and wants to give them extra protection, it's not working... I'm a fan of the diamond but even 4-1-4-1 would be a step forward, Pogba and Bruno in front of Fred/ Matic..
Start by doubling that and you may have a start, stress on may.
?? With 1 year left on his contract (or is it 2?)?
I don't think so. He's never going to play consistently well for us but maybe managers with a little bit of imagination (Zidane?) might think he'd be a lot better suited to a team like Madrid than he is to us and would take a punt on him anyway.
outside of 'Barca players', All players dream to play for Real Madrid. All of them. That doesnt mean they wont give their all for their current team.
unless your name is Pogba.
Ultimate stupidity, in written format.
One year left on his contract next summer, we'll be lucky to get £50m for him.
No idea how this guy keeps getting away with constant race related posts.
Rubbish. Who told you all players dream to play for Madrid?
id take that
The only display of 'stupidity' is the title of this thread, only one steeped in the dark arts of 'ultimate stupidity' would have bothered to create such nonsense.
It is not a crime to talk about race in life unless you are prejudiced.
OGS thanks him every day for giving him the job. (with his play during that run)
Although of course you can’t prove otherwise, without having spoken to all those players!
Everyother post of yours is about race. Be it talking about a black or white player. You have a bizarre addiction to keep factoring in someone's skin colour.
And of course, it is always a bit different for 'local boys' like Rashy and Mason. (even a Stevie G)
Jose and Ole. We know he'd like to go but stirring it all up again now with all this heat on the club and Ole is poor
Because Bruno plays well behind the forward and has been our best player since he signed regarding output, so changing his position just to accommodate Pogba doesn't make sense, and we don't even know Pogba will be that good playing behind the forward. I thought for years his best position was on the left side of 4-3-3 and not behind the forward ? It's like the opinion about his "best position" keeps changing as years go on.
You get my point though? Bruno plays in a position he is comfortable and performs which you would expect.
This is a windup surely. Not everyone dreams of playing for Real Madrid. Plenty of players dream of playing for big other big clubs. Bayern is a huge club and so is Juve, Barca and up to end of SAF, United too.
Yeah, I’m sure they’ll try everything to keep him, doesn’t he have a release clause? If so I can see Ole or Poch/whoever will be in charge push to get him if Pogba is sold which is looking likely.
Personally I wanted Pogba out since that day he walked onto the pitch with Man City colors dyed into his hair at OT a couple years back. I sure he thought it was funny, but that was a deal breaker for me.
Now it s straight from the horse mouth. But it in past couple of years the statements made by his agent and his brother were obvious to anyone with more than 3 brain cells.
