If pg wants him then we will have to suck it up & accept his decision regardless of him being a rag or him some eyes a lazy player.
He was ok for Juve & playing for France ,just must find it hard to play for an average team in the meccano stadium .

Pirlo made his job incredibly easy...Kante in the French team

Luke Shaws the one you don’t want when the chips are down.

Luke Shaw is the reason the chips are down.

Pogba for France is unplayable, he was one of their best midfielders during the world cup. We get that Pogba he's going to be brilliant. He's a leader for France, when he cares about where he is, he's a brilliant player to watch.

At United he's showed some glimpses of ability but it seems like he just doesn't care about playing for them. Stat wise at the start of this season he was top of the assist charts. Then "injuries" happened I say injuries but every international break hes been available for France. Hes demotivated at United.

If and its a big If, Pogba can show his France form then its a no brainer, from reports he wants to play under pep and he wants this. Then im guessing we get a motivated Pogba next season.

If Pep wants him, there must be a reason.

On his day, he’s one of the best midfielders in the world. We can’t judge him off his time at United — they are an institution known for ruining player’s careers. Look at him for France and Juventus. He’s world class and I would 100% take him.

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.

He managed to grab the game at our place a few years ago when they were 2 - 0 down

Let's be honest here, there is a player somewhere in there, but I said that about Mario Balotelli ?
Wages and signing on fee is the problem for me ? Yes, we would get him for nothing and Fernandinho is leaving, so a place is available in the squad.

 

[Blue Maverick]

We're already in for him.

There's a reason he has cut all his hairstyles out of late.

Really! I just don’t see where he fits in and who do we leave out for him? Surely a fast paced DM is more important, plus left back and obviously Haaland. Do you know who is probably leaving?

You should have kept your wallet in the locker

I played at the 'old' Worsley . Giggs was a member there as well -a member there told me he'd gone to a cash machine in Worsley just as Giggs had finished using it. Giggs receipt was still there and his balance was £180,000. Twat.

Can only assume that we’re going after the Internet and he’ll be our social media Director.

Istanbul 2023. Mane has just been yellow carded for pulling a rubber mallet out his sock and assaulting KdB who sadly can't continue. 93rd minute. Clock is ticking. Pogba replaces Kev. From the free kick on the edge of the box Foden hits the wall. Walker picks it up just close to the half way line and sprays it to Grealish on the other side. He turns inside and runs at VvD who is back tracking into the box. Jack feints one way then the other before megging VvD and he is through on goal. His shot hits Alison in the face but drops for Foden who shoots but somehow Milner is back on the line and gets a foot on it. the ball is loose in the box. Pogba is first to it. Left foot shot into the roof of the net.

The bench goes wild. Carson is swinging Pep around his head like Aguero was his shirt in 9320. Klopps teeth fall out. Me and David Silva are doing the poznan. Kompany is leading the singing in the City end. Andy Morrison is in tears being hugged by Paul Dickov and Balotelli is handing out blue flares. Nedum dj's the after party and 2 days later when the last cigar has been smoked Khaldoon puts on his shades and quietly walks back to his office. He takes some mcfc letter headed paper, an envelope, a stamp and blue biro and writes

"Dear Sir Alex

Please find enclosed jelly and ice cream. The bouncy castle is being delivered by Hermes so God knows when you'll get it. Remember to not get to close to any candles you whiskey soaked, red nosed, wrinkly piece of crap.

Insallah

Khal MFing Doon"

So...is this a thing then?

Unfortunately it is!

 

[The Pandorica Opened]

I just don't see it.

 

[Nascent Blues]

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

I agree completely and was trying to imply that in my post (although not very well and should have made it more obvious).

dear god lets hope not

 

[Academica]

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.

So we want a player who plays, only when he can be arsed.

interesting thread. i understand not wanting him based off him being a rag, bad performances at United, injury record, bad attitude sometimes, and potential high wages. i also get the opinion that in the right conditions he could be a shrewd signing. but i don’t get why people think he’s a “****” and his “lifestyle” is contrary to who we normally sign. he just seems like a silly, outgoing, eccentric guy who likes have a bit of fun with his hair and through dancing. he’s not gonna be everyones cup of tea but some things said about him is a bit over the top. he’s 29 with a wife and kids, he lives a very uncontroversial life. yes he likes a bit of attention on the socials but Kev is doing TikTok vids now. nathan was doing TikTok dances during lockdown. he was once a world record signing who has underperformed in an underperforming team so he’s gonna get more scrutiny but you’d generally think he was a bad person reading some of these posts. we’ve all seen those vids of the City players have a GREAT time at Raheems (middle of the season) birthday party a few years back. Jack loves a drink. Phil can’t decide if we wants to be a brunette or a blonde. Kyle likes women a little too much. Stones been accused of some unsavory shit too. lets not act like we only sign Rodri’s and Bernardo’s.

IF this signing happens and that’s a big IF, I can’t really judge it until he’s here. on paper it makes a lot of sense if he’s coming to primarily play further up the pitch. Kev doesn’t need to play domestic cup games until the semi final stages or any dead rubbers in CL group stages. he’s also injured a lot, we can use another playmaker there. PP can play deeper too in emergencies but I wouldn’t want him as the pivot/Dinho replacement. so I agree PP + another midfielder who’s not a liability playing deeper makes sense. PP is crazy talented in possession. if this happens he’s gotta be willing to work harder off the ball and most likely take a wage cut. 2 year deal +1, imo. at his age and the frustrations of wasting his prime at United, I gotta believe he would do what it takes to make his next move a success (on the pitch, in the dressing room, etc…) esp. if he joins the noisy neighbors. in Pep I trust.
