Shame we didn't get him but absolutely the right thing to do if it's true about his wage demands. If he'd rolled up in January and was instantly on more money than the rest of our top players that have actually been here to put us 12 points clear then of course they would be well within their rights to ask for big wage increases as soon as possible or start thinking about moving.
 
The definition of a MERCENARY.

Going to the rags purely for money. Hope he enjoys parking the bus.

Tbf 500k a week plus this insane signing on fee, he is now the best paid player in the league and one of the best in the world, hard to turn down. 30 years old this year as well. Will start every game so less playing time for Rashford, Martial, Mata.

Hope it’s true that he signed a 4.5 year deal. Another short term signing!!

Pogba already asking for more money. Hahaha

Far from it.

Here we have a talented and highly sought after footballer who has the choice to join the most progressive, exciting and (potentially over the next 5 years) successful Club in European football. A Club managed by singularly the best coach in the game bar none playing the game in the true spirit of the beautiful game.

However, said player chooses to renege on his previous commitments and join a club which, whilst globally huge from a sales and marketing perspective, is managed by an utter twat of a manager, is followed by legions of deluded cultists and, from root to branch, are just plain fucking ugly (despite the best efforts of the daily glitter-on-a-turd tricks from the leeching lickspittles in the media for whom The Truth is of no consequence compared to generating revenues, however dishonest).

Whilst ensuring that he makes an even bigger pile of cash (and no-one would deny someone the right to do that), In making this decision he is highly unlikely to achieve what most players are assumed to be in the game for - ie winning trophies, scoring goals, entertaining fans, and playing the game in the right way.

So it therefore leads to an interesting debate in terms of the motivation of top players, the role of agents in influencing their decision making, and the extent to which clubs such as the rags are prepared to go in spunking eye watering amounts of cash (£180 mill for a 29 year old) in the pursuit of failure whilst at the same time their cultist followers and lickspittle media pals try to tell us that in fact it is Manchester City who are ruining football.

It's not boring.

At this moment in time their revenue is approx. 100m more than ours. We have a smaller wage bill and no debt to service, I believe they also have to payout dividends.

Additionally, Pogbad's agent will be knocking the door down shortly asking for more dough.

It's pretty obvious ! He's the biggest mercenary in football. No debate needed.
 
lol at when he throws his toys out the pram and demands a move to Guangdong FC in the summer.

100% spot on. This is THE most current and obvious proof of an agenda (at least from the media). Can anyone imagine the narrative if we had decided to go toe to toe with the rags on the figures quoted?

In the meantime we are about to get the best signing of the January transfer window as Kev commits to 6 years.

Not boring.
 
To be fair, that Miki is worth shitloads more than 20 million. Arse fans haven't got a fucking clue. They just sell, Wenker has done ok on this if that's the deal. He's a very good player, the rags are just shit.
 
Alexis sanchezzzzzzz what do you say
Come and sign 500k

I’ll get my coat.
 
By the way, there's no media agenda. They just get treated like royalty there. Every time any journo turns up at that bog he gets a bottle of scotch, kits for the kids and a michelin starred dinner. We've never caught up They've had the back page for thirty years, even when they were shit, because they've always done this.
