Di Maria

[burning blue soul]

For a start United, like every other major club have Key Man insurance for their players. This is underwritten to cover the cost of replacing such a player if their career is ended through off field accidents or injuries.

No, I wouldn't imagine Pogba thinking of that at all. Half a dozen Liverpool and Everton players have had their houses broken into whilst on European duty with their clubs. Shit happens and whilst you think that all clubs should have full time security details on their players abodes, none do, so you may think it's flawed logic, but it's true.

forget about insurance, thats nothing. the fall out of an injury to a british record transfer player from a serious assault in his home would be nigh on fatally damaging to a club. associated costs to a club would run into 10-20, maybe even 30 times the initial costs.

forget about what you imagine pogba is thinking, all that matters is that he COULD be thinking it, and if anything serious had happened to di maria he most definately WOULD be thinking it, and so would kdb and sterling (and hes come from liverpool).

also, just how do you know that the break ins in liverpool have not affected the red a blue scouse? looks to me like they are losing quality players rather than gaining them. i wonder how much that has damaged those two teams, care to guess?

i think we are straying further off the point here and lets just agree to disagree.

p.s scottyboi, thanks for that nugget! i'll log that one away.

Ha. Did this astute fella offer protection in a Godfather sort of way?

To be honest mate those home invasions were bang out of order, scousers no less, I felt a moral duty (:

The United school of thought is very different on this matter, having ex SAS on the payroll is fucking laughable, you trying telling some scally from toxteth that, they think it's a division of the DWP£!£ (:

in fact is pogba right now thinking of his own security in this city, especially being an ex rag?

Don't confuse "security" with "risk" BBS. He and his advisors would, naturally, consider any risk associated with a move and what mitigations would be required to deal with those risks as part of their decision making. This is the same for anyone in any walk of life who is considering moving to work in another City/Country etc.

I doubt whether Manchester represents a larger potential risk to a player than say Paris, London or Madrid for example so I don't see it being a factor.

Unless he was considering living in Harpurhey perhaps!

Not entirely true bud, though I agree on earlier points you stated, namely free to do very much what they please, there has been an increase in this area over the last 5/6 years, a very astute fellow saw a gap in the market (:

A great deal of this boils down to the psychology of the player, the very top players are predominantly focused and realise it's a short career, they choose to be 'boring', they don't have to be.

You want a perfect example, see balo, he had a custom built ramp made on his grounds for jumping cars from his scrambler, the man is a fruit loop, though he's not dictated to by any rules. There's also a current city player who has recently become a qualified pilot, hardly the safest past time, if you ask me!!!!

the difference here is that those are actions brought about by their own hand, they are responsible for their actions. the club would not suffer direct consequences or future issues with transfer targets because of these types of injuries. insurances would pay out and everyone would carry on, a little bit sadder.

im talking about a player, through no fault of his own, being put into a dangerous situation because the safety net was not good enough. and that becomes a serious issue for the club.

Mate, repectfully, don't tell me how this differs please..... You're speculating on an incident from a media agency re:di Maria..... You just made a comment that players would be deterred from joining if these incidents amplified further... Can you tell me when the peak of these incidents were happening and who signed for city?

As scottyboi stated, log off!!!

respectfully, dont tell me what to do!

i seem to have clarified my stance on this point and explained my viewpoint with examples of why i believe that player safety from outside interference in their homes is a direct responsibility of the club. whether you agree with me or not is not of any consequence, however if you are not going to add any further reasoning as to why i am incorrect in this statement then please dont respond.

your response above is garbled and not dealing with any of the points i raised so i cant be bothered trying to tie it all in with my earlier posts.

respond if you want but its getting a bit boring now.

Ok, we'll take respectfully out of it, seeing as you want to be a big mouth......

The problem is dicklick, you're trying to enforce an opinion on those who know a little bit more than your sheltered existence.

I asked you a question you chose to ignore, garbled?? Behave you sphincter...

Your examples are mute, as should you be, there's a good little boy.....
