Paul Pogba

[PJM1891]

I've never claimed to have any sort of itk information, but I know someone who played football in France for many years and they told me yesterday that it's pretty much done. Don't know how they would have found out but I guess that person still knows a lot of football related people in France.

Personally I'm fine with it either way, if he comes good. If he doesn't someone else will.

Don’t want him anywhere near the club. His lazy attitude won’t magically be fixed just by joining us. He was a talented player but he sat on his laurels instead of working hard to maximise his talent.

 

[Bluewonder]

Surely not

I’ve heard the same as Tolmie on this this morning (from a separate source) so it is in the offing it seems. We’re not his only offer though so not a given he’ll end up at City, but it’s not just speculation from journalists.

I'm hoping some people are just doing a bit of fishing on here to wind people up. I would be appalled if he signed.

Jeez 40 pages since I last looked.

are we still at the ‘it’s a definite possibility’ stage or is there more legs in this one?

It's close to being imminent!

Ffs

If Pep really rates him and wants him, I think it may be time to look for a new manager.

What are the club thinking? If it’s true Bernardo still wants to leave the thought of us replacing him with Pogba is baffling. The worlds hardest working midfielder replaced by the worlds laziest…

I'm only going off the United match going fans I know and they all say the same thing. Pogba has underperformed without a doubt but has been nowhere near as bad as the media make out. Plenty of others have been worse in their team. He's just not a leader and can't take a game by the scruff of the neck on his own. That's why he looks good alongside other good midfield players i.e. France, Juve and not the same for United. He can't win a game single handed like great players like our KDB but will look good alongside them and definitely bring something to the team.

We need is DMF, not Pogba who spends half the season injured.

 

[Nascent Blues]

If he's being forced upon Pep, then it would be a fucking wank signing; if Pep is really keen and is pushing for his signature, then I'll live with it, even if I think he's a busted flush (because in the grand scheme of football and football transfers, I know fuck all).

 

[Revolver]

I would have thought pace would be a priority in our midfield something Pogba wouldn’t provide. I cant imagine he would settle on being a squad player. Tevez turned out to be a great signing but he played with an a competitive attitude and a will to win that I don’t see in Pogba.

Hopefully any interest from the club is superficial. But if it is true then we will have to trust in Pep. (If it’s Pep who wants him. I say this with no inside knowledge or ulterior motive but Pep has a year left and Pogba is apparently being offered a longer contract).

Not sure he has a lazy attitude. His style of play is just different from the likes of Bernardo. In a good team he is a great player but at the rags he was expected to do everything. Not sure I want him but I think he’d flourish under Pep

 

[razman]

after post from Tolmie and Ric

and if he does join , all I can say Trust in Pep

Injured or 'injured'? I'm not convinced about signing him but it's been clear for a long while that he doesn't want to be there and you can see that with the shitshow they've been.

Oh Christ. Genuinely concerned now. He’d be a terrible acquisition for so many reasons. The antithesis of what we need this summer.

I don’t think Pep gets signings forced on him tbh.

Why would the club force any player on Pep. Never. If a player comes to our club it’s because Pep wants him
