United thread 2018/19

No they weren’t. I’m not saying I’m the greatest judge of a footballer, because I’ll readily accept I’m not, but I’ve never got the fuss around Pogba. All this “great player wanting to get out” stuff is absolute bollocks imo. He’s a decent PL midfielder, nothing more and I fail to see why he’s so highly rated by some. It’s baffling. He doesn’t dominate big games, like a top player should; and his work-rate is appalling.

I said the same sort of things in the transfer thread when it looked odds on he was signing for us. To read some of the comments on there we were signing Pele and Messi rolled into one and a fair few lambasted me for doubting the egotistical plank. I am happy ro have been proved right and bloody ecstatic it wasn't at our expense.

25 points difference, just let that sink in for a minute, they have Chelsea next and so its possible they could end up 28 points behind us. That is the world of shit they find themselves in.

Rashford is pretty good but I can't see him fetching big money. He's player nearly 170 games and hasn't really improved anything from when he broke through other than his ego. Before too long he'll be another 'young' player who everyone is saying just needs this or that to make a leap much like Pogba and Lingard.

Needs to go out on loan at Sunderland.
Wouldnt be anywhere near the England squad if he played for Watford

Chelsea and Arsenal seem to be doing their best to ensure that Utd gain 4th place. If not, they'll then be favourites for the Europa League next season - and another trophy for the visiting Far East plastics to come and gaze at in awe in the display case.

One of them could lift the europa league and go into the CL.

I'm also getting sick of hearing how amazing he was at the World Cup as some sort of justification for how good he can supposedly be. I watched every one of their games at the World Cup and he wasn't remotely close to amazing in any of them.

There's plenty of hype around Paul Pogba but barely any actual substance. A complete myth of a footballer and it staggers me that any team would genuinely consider paying £100m+ for him. He's not done anything to justify a price tag of even a quarter of that.

He's a bang average midfielder who plays a decent pass every now and again then disappears. The Premier League is literally packed full of players like that, so what's so special about him? I just don't get it.

Pogba wasn't amazing at the world cup! Another myth the media keep pushing he is fcuking a prancing pony! At least Carlton Palmer put a shift in.

He wouldn’t be near the Watford team if he was in Watford’s squad!

He's also brainless. The emperor's new clothes springs to mind.
