Paul Pogba - The resurgence

You have to pay for all these years of you popping up out of the blue to defend overrated and overpriced mercenaries in front of an angry, suffering and disappointed fanbase.

Truer words have never been spoken

Seriously, take a breath and think about what is happening:

@Glory links to an item on a website called the "Strettynews" citing the website SportWitness citing a Spanish radio show called "Tiempo de Juego" citing "sources within Old Trafford" who claim that Paul Pogba is fit but "refusing to play for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer".
(never mind Solskjaer was already Pogba's coahc in Man Utd's youth...) You think this is an accurate report?
You think this kind of item is worth being taken as the basis for condemning the character of a player at your club?

Get a grip people. You millenials grew up with the internet, unlike me, how the fuck is it possible you guys have no media competency whatsoever?


also, Dembélé

Exclusive: Paul Pogba wants to stay at Manchester United - but he needs more support, says agent Mino Raiola | @JBurtTelegraph https://t.co/hYwxuDu3zv

Suddenly he wants to stay. Cos guess why. No bloody soul want him anymore for the reported money. His stock is lower than ever and his cnut of an agent knows they are in trouble. So, ya playing the good boy and loyalty card now.
Also more support = more monay.

Renew his contract until 2024, glory, please. Otherwise he'll come to Madrid this summer.

biggest fraud of the modern era

Sell him worse than Lallana

So far return of la brujera

Can someone explains to me why he is no longer playing? Is he really injured? Is he broken?

hopefully it's all a prelude to him being sold in Jan, curt price to Madrid? any chatter in the media over in Spain? 65M + some shitter like Asensio or Isco IMO

Aside from being not really effective for Utd, he is injured according to Ole. A reoccurring ankle issue. Personally, could be a complete lie and Ole may just be not using him at all.

Nah Pogba would be playing if he were fit

Nothing in the media about Pogba because United are not trying to sell. I expect they will pick up his contract for an extra year. Not worth us spending more than 50 mil on him at this point but it's all about Zidane's opinion here. Although it was nice to see him vote for Kante ahead of Pogba in his top 5 for 2019

Pogba to Real Madrid injanuary for 300m confirmed. Rift between Ole and Pogba confirmed. Read it on the wall of a train. Real Madrid will win the CL with Pogba confirmed.

Paul needs a team and a club, one like the first Juventus

Then Raiola should have kept him at Juventus but hey, the want for more money can sometimes lead to illogical decisions.

Man U is traded on the stock market. They actually do need to answer for their expenses and business decisions. Raiola and Pogba are, in a slick way, forcing the move. Man U can't keep spending that kind of money for a player who is not on the team sheet.

Like Lukaku and Sanchez, he'll get sold in the summer and happily resume his career somewhere else.

I expect Pogba to show up mid to end Feb so he can pick up games and form going into the Euro AND to show he's healthy for his potential destinations.

apparently he needs surgery... https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/jan/02/paul-pogba-manchester-united-foot-opeartion?CMP=share_btn_tw

this is starting to sound like crooked 101, would probably be smart to stay away

It's minor. He's supposed to be back in about 4 weeks or less (they say up to 4 weeks away). Likely playing release scar tissue that needs to be taken out. If the surgery was fixing anything muscular or structural, he'd be out several months.

I’ve hardly seen him play this season. He was decent to good against Newcastle and Watford about a week ago, quite good against Arsenal - which he always is, for some reason, extraordinarily poor against Crystal Palace I believe it was, earlier in the season. Has it been an issue with his ankle all along? As much as I think he’s unreliable, they likely would’ve benefitted a lot from fielding him against Arsenal today.

Pogba played early in the season (6 games all season total) and they later found he had a hairline fracture on the big toe of his right foot to go along with ankle issue.

The healing of the bone took several months... and they couldn't test the ankle until the bone healed.

Raiola went on a rampage yesterday, saying the club would even ruin Pele or Diego Maradona. The problem Pogba and Raiola have is that Man U doctors cleared him to play... and when he felt pain, he had to go get a 2nd opinion apart from Man U. These doctors found the problem (loose cartilage in his ankle apparently) and Man U agreed. That's why it only takes 3-4 weeks. They just need to take out the loose bodies causing inflammation and pain.

This is headed for an almost certain divorce over the summer. Man U will be lucky to get 80 mil for him... and they'll take it imo.

lol man united will pick up the option to extend his contract in the summer. So unless a club is willing to pay a king's ransom for Pogba, he is staying at United another year imo

Raiola can't do anything about it, he can talk talk and talk but it's not gonna change a single thing.

if they pick up the option Nick, they would only have 2 years left this summer.  His deal is until 30.06.2021 with an option to add 1 year.

Man U won't wait until the last year.  His value would drop like a rock AND he may just refuse transfer so he can cash in.  They'll either extend him or sell him this summer.

Madrid should in the summer offer 25 million and see what utd says. If interested we shouldnt approach it like we are the desperate party. Dont offer anything remotely close to his release fee. After all it's not like he is the best cmf in the world, and both parties look like they want this to end. So make a really low offer and see what happens. If they say no, there are other options. He isnt pele or maradonal

I think he pretty much is the best CM in the world... but that's just my opinion. I see the difference in how France NT plays without him; even with guys like Kante, Ndombele, Tolisso, etc. to take his spot. Night and day.

Even at Man U. As much as he was criticized, they literally have nothing in the middle now. All they can hope for is a ball over the top for one of Martial or Rashford to run onto. You take that away and Man U can't do a single thing.

25M LMAO. Spanish clubs are wild. That doesn't even get you Danny Drinkwater nowadays. Relax. Pogba could not play the reason of the season and we get 65-70M for him easy.

You can have him btw. Fred's already been better than him and he only started performing 8 weeks ago.

I’m sure I’ve said this a thousand times before, but it doesn’t matter how talented he is when he spends the larger part of a season playing on a level so far off his highest potential, that you never know whether he’s going to be more useful than an average talent CM... or worse. Even some of the 30+ year old scrubs who play in my backyard league, manage to look relatively good for our NT on occasion.

Football is not a game where you can play at an elite level with C players around you unless you're a fullback or goalkeeper (low dependency on other players). Just can't do it.

There's a reason Pogba looks like an absolute beast on NT with top players around him and with Juve when he had top players... and then looks average at Man U. He's a CM. It's a position that is most impacted by everything...

If he wasn't such a god with France, I'd agree with you.
