The Paul Pogba Thread

Going by the trend slowly the number of people wanting him to stay is growing less day by day due to his indecisiveness which reflects that he cares less for the club ...

This is where players like Ferdinand come into picture. Ferdinand should try and convince Pogba to stay. Agreed, Pogba has different ideas in his mind and agreed Ferdinand might not be successful in his attempts to lecture Pogba, but alteast, we should do as much as we can to keep a player of our youth academy here. But, I simply can't understand this lad. He knows that we are going to undergo a major transformation as far as CM is concerned. He knows that making to the starting 11 of United would better his chances of playing for France, he still wants to go to Juve(no offense)? He must be CRAZY.

I guess it has already been tried ... remembering Fergie mentioning that he has asked Rio and Evra to convince Pogba... maybe only that has made it even more confusing for him .. i mean if that had not happned he was already gone

What's with these young lads! Their minds are f**ked up already. One moment, he says that he wants to earn respect here as much as Cantona got. The next moment, he is in a dilemma.

I believe that you can blame the boss for that, he's stated in public that he doesnt need to buy midfielders because of Pogba and Morrison and then he doesnt trust them enough, so he gets rid of Morisson and doesnt use Pogba saying he isnt ready (in which case why the F**K didnt he say so in the first place instead of telling the world he was going to use Pogba rather than buy someone).

Part of the blame is on the gaffer. After all, we can't expect modern day players to emulate Giggs, Scholes and Neville. All they want is first team action instantly without waiting on the fringes for sometime. Why? Because they have been hyped as the stars of the game. They have been hyped as the future of the clubs.

publicly stating was the Carrot for them (Morrison to get his discipline right and Pogba to sign the new contract) ... it did not work

so the STICK was given ... Morrison shipped off and Pogba's first team chances reduced

Well. there was clearly too much stick and not enough carrott, still a fail by the boss - and the reduction of first team chances too, when we needed someone and therefore needed to see if he really could step up to the block, stick his c*ck on it and be counted was lets be honest somewhat self defeating.

I more believe it could be Fergies intention to loan him, like he did with Cleverley and Welbeck. Whereas Juve maybe offers him first team football directly.

Pogba's supposed to solve all our problems and be this world class AM yet when the reserves put 6 past Newcastle he was awful for most of the game; long crosses that were going out for throws, giving away possession, couldn't beat his man, didn't look interested at all. Keane on the other hand was brilliant.

Maybe and that might not be a bad thing, but last summer he appeared to be implying that LePog was going to get into the first team this is the problem, its mixed signals and uncertainties, In my job when I get them you wont see my heels for dust

I agree, but I still think you have to put some blame at the way the boss has handled the whole thing

the old guard still being available.... Scholes returning. I don´t want to start a debate again, but imo for sure Pogba would have got more chances if Scholes had not come back or if Giggs would not play a so big role still. Ask yourself realistically: will that not be the same next season? Pogba will get some minutes here and there. But he would not play the big games, Fergie would still rely on Giggs / Scholes.

true, but that wasnt the point, it was about the mixed and contradictory signals it was sending to Pogba, or at least that he would see it that way.
As for next season,
Ask yourself realistically can Scholes do the fantastic job for a whole season hes done for this season, playing twice a week on wet heavy pitches through the winter?
If SAF doesnt buy someone he will need to make more use of Pogba whether Scholes carries on or not

We're going backwards if he's still relying on Scholes and Giggs next season, regardless of if Pogba stays or goes (and I'm getting sick to death of the saga)

There's no apparent coherent long term strategy

Well plan A worked wonderously well didn't it? (Promote Pogba and Ravel)

Hey mate, we all know SAF talks a lot of shit to the media. It probably was a long term plan but I doubt he seriously thought they'd steam-roll themselves in this year. This year was about blooding Cleverley into the team. The downside was Fletcher's serious illness (hope he gets better) and so Scholes asked to come back to help out. So in terms of numbers we aren't too bad. Its more the quality that is lacking but you know what, sometimes people will go on about that but I tell you now Carrick has done a good job, maybe not the best, but the midfield works. It isn't the best in the world by any means but it does work (and it worked with Anderson and Cleverley at the beginning).

Same old shit btw:

I agree with Mikey's earlier post, I kinda just want him to f**k off. If he wanted to leave, just f**king leave. He has had far too long to decide and its a joke to be honest.

Kinda agree, would rather we just focus on another young midfielder, hes f**ked the club about enough

Ask yourself realistically can anybody outside of barcelona's first team(btw they werent that great last night) do as fantastic a job as Scholes has done since January for a whole season playing twice a week on wet heavy pitches through the winter, the answer is a Big NO.
