The guy shows up 5 games a season and is more or less a highlight reel player. This idea of Pogba being anything more is an absolute myth. He’s flashy yes and it looks good sometimes but he’s not anywhere near the level he should be. He doesn’t make good decisions as a central midfielder a lot of the time. Then when he does something great, he will do something stupid, letting someone run by him or not chip in like the rest of the team and close down. Even at France for the Euros in the game v Switzerland he summed himself up. Done something brilliant scoring that great goal then gave the ball away so cheaply doing something stupid where the Swiss got their second or third goal from. I mean would you take Pogba here? Your playing with 10 men without the ball when he plays and he’s spent countless seasons at United where he has struggled to inspire or drag that team over the line when he was meant to be their catalyst. Even Ole doesn’t play him in CM in big games, instead using Fred and McTominay there behind Fernandes and that sums it up for me. I would probably be more worried if United sell Pogba and actually get someone who can play as a slightly more disciplined midfielder to compliment Fernandes and McTominay who can definitely further improve as a box to box midfielder. Heres hoping they keep him because in the 5 or 6 seasons he’s been at United, I don’t think he has had a standout one yet bar maybe the second half of 18-19 under OGS. Pogba is as overrated as they come, the media eat from his hand, if not for the likes of Souness and Keane they would likely kiss his ass non stop. How this dude is seen as world class is beyond my understanding. NikkiCFC, OneMoSalah and King Kante 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One year left on contract, he doesn't want to renew. 45m now or nothing next summer. For same money they will get Saul. This is not dumb, everyone would do it this way.

Given he's spent that much and supposedly has his own team now, he should be challenging for the title and winning 1-2 cups at the very least. We've spent less than them during the same period and gotten to more finals and won a major trophy. But can't wait to see the excuses the "pundits" out there will make for Solskjaer next season...

It's like the idiots at work who moan that they don't get paid enough and how the managers are all greedy wankers and also say they want to strike but never do. You might get a few who stand up and say but never the whole workforce. It's how governments and organisations rule I'm general. If the people were organised and brave enough by standing together... change is possible. In United and Arsenal's case and in most footballing fans case around the World.. the people of power prey on the fans love for football... they know the fans will 9 times out of 10 not desert their club. Football is life. They know this and that's why they get away with it. Tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
