Paul Pogba

[Sunny Coast Blue]

Can't understand why he would go there, it will be a while before that shit are as dominant in the EPL as Juventus are in the Scudetto. Not in my lifetime haha!

I can give you about 300,000 reasons (a week) why he would go there.

I genuinely hope he signs for them.

With the appointment of Maureen and all that he represents, plus the profligate signing of the previously rejected Pogba - their snotty moral high ground aka the myth that is "the united way" is totally destroyed as emerging talent is simultaneously haemorrhaged and key influencers in and around the game sense an opportunity for a little payback.

For >£100m you should reasonably expect to be getting a game changer like Messi. Pogba is an excellent player - but he's not a week-in week-out game changer in my view.

If they are not genuinely and rapidly challenging for the top honours, the factions and ego's in that dressing room together with their abrasive tit of a manager will be nothing short of a combustible combination.

Happy days!

Super post that, fella.

Could you imagine Nacho, G. Jesus, Sane, Nolito, KdB, etc etc. pissing it up at a pool party whilst such an important career deal is at stake? I think that tells you all you need to know.

Not forgetting their 'football philosophy' of attack, attack, attack will be out of the window and mourinho's 'more aggressive' style- holding onto a 1 goal lead by disruption, dirty tricks and the dark arts- will piss off their fans more than turtle heads did.
And a little side bet that rooney and ibrahimovic will be scrapping in the dressing room before December is surely nailed on.

Maybe he's just relaxed knowing that his agent will get him the biggest deal he could only ever dream about. It'll be interesting my to see how the press deal with this once it goes through. I think some will want to slate it but be put back in their box because of the team involved. You can be sure if we'd spent this on the same player the headlines would be pretty damning.

However, the bigger part of this will be the reporting once the season starts. The spotlight will be on this guy every single week, especially when the Stoke away type games come around, and the shitty Europa League games - this bloke will be expected to deliver in those games. Oh, and deliver like Ronaldo or Messi would deliver, not like Gundogan or Silva or even KdB can deliver - £100m+ means goals and assists by the bucket load.

The hope IMO is that the personalities won't gel but the likihood IMO is that they will and they'll be very dangerous. Pogba IMO will play as an attacking player and be a phenomenon because he'll have a gazillion shots per game - some will go miles wide, some will go in and some fill be fed off by others in the box. Mourinho will toughen up the defence and midfield so there'll concede a lot less too. I hope I'm wrong but I think Pogba there will bring them to another level.


I'm still holding out hope that Real are in stealth mode and he'll go there (where he'd be less of a hit I think so probably not the best move for him). Would love it if utd had to scamper with 2 weeks left to fill the void. :-)

And if it had been Sterling, he'd have been shot.....
