Paul Pogba

[domalino]

And he won't get the time on the ball that he gets in Italy. Imagine him with Lee Cattermole or Charlie Adam snapping at his heels.

He'll get more time and space on the ball here.

Regardless of anything else to do with Pogba, or quality of each league, everyone who's watched a decent chunk of Italian football knows there's much less space, and the midfields are much more congested.

Tevez commented on it when he went to Italy. He said that there was no midfield in England, the ball just pinged from defence to attack much faster. In Italy teams clog up the midfield and it slows the game down - but it also means that there's a lot less time and space for midfielders to play in compared to the much more open Premier League.

Tancredi saying President + Zidane making huge attempt to hijack this deal.

Tancredi is the least reliable journalist in football.

When someone semi-reliable reports it i'll get excited.

Care to elaborate on that?

I will - Pogba plays every week for Juventus who have achieved an awful lot over the last few years. Balotelli was a squad player for us

Pogba is top, Balotelli is a myth.

No my point is you are coming on and saying he wont sign. Making City fans giddy that United wont get him (probably the same fans deeming him shit and too expensive) To the point I was reading people putting bets on him to not go there! I remember confidently saying in this thread last year we wont get Pogba and I got hounded for sources and ITK claims then declared a wum.

@IanBishopsHaircut isn't making anyone giddy as he has said all along its based on a gut feeling not itk inffo
All he's done is put his cock in the block if he signs.
But could be a shrewd move with phones having cameras a future you tube star he could even become a celebrity big brother contestant !

Did you even read what the argument was about? When Pogba was 18 he was being kept out of a utd team by a 40 year old Paul Scholes who they dragged out of retirement. Balloteli was winning Golden Boy awards and touted as the next big thing. He went onto win several trophies before going off the rails.
I'm not talking about the here and now, I was responding to the post saying that Pogba had achieved a million times more than Ballotelli which is bollocks.
Pogba will go onto bigger and better things and might finish his career with many accolades but ballotelli at 21 had acheived far more than Pogba at the same age.

Pogba will go to MU. They are the only ones who will pay the agent fees.

I would say at the same point in their careers Mario had been more successful .obviously pogba will probably have a better career long term

Fair play to them if they get him. Quite happy with our set up and team and lets see how the season goes.

Check out what honours Mario won ,you might be surprised ?

He wont go to the rags.

This is EXACTLY the Kaka saga.

I guarantee he goes to Real for far less than than the rags offer.

Not bothered either way although Pogba ending up at Real would be hilarious but it's about money and who will stump up the agents wedge. MU are desperate enough to pay it. Real aren't.

 

[argyle]

Sky sports saying sources in Italy say he'll sign for the rags in 48 hours.

 

[Latics Fan SJK]

Why pray tell am I going to look very very silly?

It's my opinion he won't sign...that's all it is...an opinion...no ITK knowledge here

You look very very silly for posting such a daft comment

FFS Listen very carefully

Pogba is NOT going to the rags

Makes me laugh this shit it really does

He's probably referring more to posts like this one, as though people were stupid for thinking he'd end up at United.

My bad for having a fucking opinion...perhaps some people need to take a look at themselves not my beautiful and charismatic self ;-)

Nothing wrong with having an opinion bud. But if someone says "I can't believe he's going to United, would have loved him here" or something to that effect, that is only his opinion, and so your post above that was in response to it isn't much different to people questioning your own stance / opinion on it.

 

[ianw16]

TBH, although Pogba will undoubtedly be an improvement on what they've got, they are paying huge money for a player who wouldn't even be my first pick from the French squad, if given the choice. What would Griezman be worth, based on this?

 

[Ashleymcduff]

Not that it means anything but gone from 1/2 to 1/5 with the bookies last 24 hours.

Was 1/10 last week but the money is down again today.

Rememember when Falcao was 1/20 to come to us then went to the rags

Think Isco was even shorter.

Anything can happen.

End of the day he goes to the scum.
We will still shaft them at the swamp and at home

I don't know...maybe i'm of the opinion I don't give two fucks whether he goes to Nited or not?

If he goes back to them I will be amazed because it certainly isn't for footballing reasons...and as my old man (RIP) once said 'Never Go Back...that's for everything in life' I'd be stunned if he rocked up at the meccano set to play Thursday night football...just doesn't make sense...hence my initial thoughts on the matter

The back tracking begins, inevitable.
