Pogba: "Playing for Zidane at Madrid would be a dream"

Didn’t Mourinho give him the captaincy at one point? Doesn’t Solskjaer talk him up at every opportunity? Isn’t he a central part of Deschamps’ World Champion French side, one which has been built on the very basis of eradicating troublesome elements like Benzema, Ribery and Rabiot?

The fact is, Pogba is a ridiculously ambitious winner, who is currently wasting away at a club in utter disarray, led by a group of parasites that care more about prostituting the United brand to maximise profits, as opposed to building a successful footballing model that leads to the glory of trophies.

This is clearly a very talented footballer, but one who will excel in the right team, with the right players around him. We have a horrible team, so no wonder he’s looking elsewhere. If anything, it’s United that’s toxic currently, not Pogba.

Would honestly consider a couple of younger players + cash for him

Cabellos, Valverde, Junior, Regulion. If we can get one or maybe two of those type of players a part of any deal I’d take it and move on. If he does want out that bad then it pointless dragging this out meaning we have less time to sign a replacement.

Obviously would be great if we signed his replacement now and made Madrid pay up for Pogba, but that isn’t going to happen sadly.

Regulion joined Seville today, didn't he?

he'll end up leaving on deadline day, for about £130 million quid. Which will mean, gosh darn it, the Glazers won't be able to spend it to improve the team

Take the money and both players

Not sure pal?

Would have been good competition for Shaw.

They’ve surely got a couple of talented kids to throw into a deal? I’d much prefer that than Isco or Bale tbh.

competition? what a novel idea. Can't remember the last time anyone in our team had any competition for their place.

I don’t think his personality is 100% spot on, but yeah I think people get a bit hysterical going the other way. It’s a good point that Deschamps is very strict about professionalism and disruptive characters, or at least those he perceived as such. Fact is Pogba wasn’t a poisonous influence at Juve or with France. When he leaves United, should that trend continue I guess it’ll leave such ideas left looking like easy scapegoating.

Your last line is fair too. Every player declines or stalls at United. Maybe we are the problem.

Because he's our best outfield player.

Can see Ole wanting to get a look at Pogba in pre-season to assess how imperative it is we grant his wish.

Delusion beyond any comprehension.

Pogba wants out, doesnt wanna play for us, he contributed to getting a manager out the door and you think him and his agent are gonna listen to Ole?
What's he gonna assess exaclty?
You really think Ole is gonna give the thumbs up to sell him or look at him and go, "yeah top player, let's keep him"

Woodward is the one who has the final say and he's the one looking at potential marketing incomes and profits, not Ole.

What the £#%&! is Ole gonna say to Pogba? "Did you watch the 99 CL final? Well, let me tell you, I was telling Rashy earlier..."

Pogba may be a dick and a mercenary but, can you blame him for wanting to get the £#%&! outta here?

I mean, Ole apparently gave him the ok to skip training yet, its Woodward who told him to stay in NY for Adidas.

£#%&!ed!!

Wonder why didn't Ole give him the captaincy? Maybe he offered...

Save the £#%&!ing hassle......sell him, highest bid or bid plus player.....he's an utter virus personality wise and the most overrated footballer currently in Europe...

I can even think about the lad still being a Man United player next season. Absolute virus, a plague upon our great football team. Cut the cancer out, and get paid for the privilege.

Hopefully with Raiola publicly acknowledging that he wants to leave and they're working towards it, it's just a matter of time.

What do you expect him to say about any of his players publicly? Public pronouncements by anyone in football shouldn’t be used as evidence of anything. They’re generally not about telling the truth.

I agree that no-one will know Pogba better than ole. We just know the public perception.

Deschamps had all kinds of shit with Pogba. He knuckled down and did what he was told for the World Cup, because it was in his interest to do so.

Yeah, has a great affect in the dressing room. A pissed off Pogba was great for mourinho. The evidence with mourinho and after zidane got the Madrid job says it would be suicide to keep a reluctant Pogba unless we told him to £#%&! off and sit in the stands until someone eventually buys him or his contract runs out.

Buy his replacement and tell his agent pogba’s options are Madrid pay what we want this window or he sits in the stands until someone pays what we want next window. Oh, and he can hand in a written transfer request too. Takes their leverage away and gives it to united, given it’s the European championships next summer and he needs to be playing.

JD for DOF.

Need to get tough with this sulking @#%&!.

Would be funny to see dunks reaction too

Sign a player because he sounds like a spell from harry potter?

£#%&! off mate
