Re: Pogba is the worst 120m € player out there

by Hapless_Hans Tue Aug 28, 2018 1:52 am

yeah we all know "he is better" but this knowledge stops to matter at a point
this is not one game, he plays like that in 2/3 to 3/4 of the games since he's been at United. That's 2 seasons now. What does he have to say for himself? Apart from sharing his #pogfeelings?

by sportsczy Tue Aug 28, 2018 2:05 am

Actually, I thought he was good mostly until last winter break. Then it took a nosedive (when the feud started with Mourinho). He just wasn't scoring while playing well and people expected him to either score 20 goals and dish 20 assists after the transfer and he was playing mostly very low.

That was the crux of the problem. He was tired of the criticism despite his feeling that he was doing his job given he was playing low. Feuded with Mou over his positioning... and that was the beginning of the end. He mentally checked out after that.

He is what he is. Doing great with NT, which is all I really care about. Team leader too. He's completely mailing it in at Man U unfortunately. Likely pushing for a transfer or a managerial change. He's going to get his wish it seems.

Serves him right for making a career choice based on money and not the prestige.

Football is the exception where money career moves are not ok. In my opinion atleast.

If he wanted prestige and heritage he would have joined Sevilla

Raiola is mostly to blame. Due to his fee demands, Madrid and Barca backed away... and Pogba stayed loyal to him. Man U was the only club willing to give Raiola his crazy fee.

I agree with that tbh

Why? He chose him as his agent, and he chose to stick with him. It's Pogba's decision. It's not like he did not know what Raiola was like before.

by Unique Tue Aug 28, 2018 2:52 am

The answer is simple. He is carried by France and he was carried at Juve. At manure he is just another bare bum in the shower.

Replace Vidal behind him, and Kante behind him, and pair him up with Fred. This is what you get at United

by rincon Tue Aug 28, 2018 4:21 am

When is the point where excuses stop? Blaming United, blaming Mou, blaming Raiola. These are his choices and his game. No amount of Mou's crap management can make him forget how to play football. This is his responsibility.

Pogba is a youtube skills video merchant. He was carried by Juventus and hyped by an agent.

He is great for marketing on instagram though and that's all Glazers care for $$$. #pogmarketing

pogba is a legit player, he is world class.

the problem is his attitude. i'm shocked at how bad it is. mou is by no means innocent.. but playing like shite on purpose should never be done

by Myesyats Tue Aug 28, 2018 1:16 pm

Pogba is definitely world class, I reckon he's just throwing a tantrum because he desires to leave.

I wouldnt be happy playing under Mourinho aswell. The state of this man.

by Valkyrja Tue Aug 28, 2018 1:22 pm

It would be a pleasure to see Pog's feelings in Barca

by BarcaLearning Tue Aug 28, 2018 2:05 pm

Half the players at MAn U probably not playing for Mou now, just like what happened at Chelsea, dont think its just Pogba at all.

by BusterLfc Tue Aug 28, 2018 9:09 pm

Allardyce on Pogba: “Everybody said he had a brilliant World Cup for France and I never saw that either. I must have to go to the optician. When you are the leading man, you have to be leading every week. Your performances cannot dip on a week in, week out basis.”

by BusterLfc Tue Aug 28, 2018 9:13 pm

Carragher's column last week:

"It may offer a clue as to the problem he has now, in a dressing room with an ego the size of Paul Pogba’s, who like so many modern players (see Yaya Toure when he was at Manchester City) embarrassingly seems more interested in being loyal to his agent than the club he captains. We know what Ferguson would do. He got rid of Pogba when he was a teenager because he knew it was more hassle than the talent was worth. He will not be surprised by the recent turn of events."

the thing is he has been well below par since he signed for the club.

Pogba wanted to return to Juventus this summer but Manchester United management rejected his request. [Marca]

Probably BS

by Mr Nick09 Wed Aug 29, 2018 3:40 pm

well we know Raiola is offering pogba to other clubs such as Barcelona. It's not a stretch to think he was also interested in returning to Juve now that they have CR.

He was good for France, one of the stand-out midfielders of the tournament. Man Utd environment is clearly toxic and not only he suffers because of that.

You can't be lying to yourself though sportcszy. A leading man like CR would never let a coach opinion or a president for example let him dip in form. He was very upset with Florentino but still provided us with 15 CL goals. There is a difference in mentality.

It was his first choice of club when he moved. He was supposedly a childhood Man U fan (lol) and now he refuses to perform for them because of Mourinho??? It's not just a joke, it shows character. If Mourinho isn't the special one anymore, so isn't Pogba!

by Mr Nick09 Fri Sep 07, 2018 9:35 am

Pogba: "My future is currently at #mufc. I still have a contract. I’m playing there at the moment, but who knows what will happen in the next few months." [sky germany]
