i'm a united fan, not a paul pogba fanboy.
he has played like a @#%&! for the majority of his time here and has rightly been called out for it. delighted he's decided he can be arsed again, and i hope he continues to put in the effort and play well, as it makes us a better team when he does. lets not re-write history though. |

His agent is poison. He could distance himself from him, but again, it's not what modern day footballers do is it? When footballers have their dad as an agent, we find it refreshing, not the norm. And as for being individually motivated to be successful? Erm, Ronaldo? He's no saint, but half the stuff that gets levelled at him is always vague and usually fuelled by the press. Ole seemingly has no issue with him and has frequently underlined the importance of the right characters and no 'bad apples'. If he's the menace you suggest, he'd be out. Especially with Bruno and the team in the form they were before he came back. I'm far from convinced his head will stay in the game and that agent will start making things uncomfortable again soon enough, but the whole idea of him being 'poison' or these 'unforgivable' actions seemed to be based on very little.

Like I say, no saint, but a lot of it just seems like noise from outside the club rather than inside. His performances and professionalism on the pitch are concern enough. |

Maybe loved in the dressing room but that is down to the absolute thickets that pass as footballers.... The way he has acted since his injury and desire to leave, the fact that he still hasn't reached a dozen world class performances since the world cup.... Cannot wait till he leaves, he's the real virus... |

Wouldn't surprise me if Ole pulled him at one point and said that if his slob agent calls him or the club out in public one more time, he'll be training with the stiffs. Also wouldn't surprise me if Ed warned Ole off any such move, because it could cost the club tens of millions in potential transfer fee revenue. But that's all on Paul. |

The rest.....his desire to leave....the way he's acted.... What are we referring to? There just doesn't seem much there. And if he's liked in the dressing room, it's just because everyone is thick? I suppose that includes Ole. Quote:
Maybe someone said this to him....maybe they said this back. What do we definitely know. We know he hasn't performed anywhere well enough on a consistent basis. We know Ole has said he isn't going anywhere and we know his agent fuels speculation about him leaving. |

It’s not conjecture. His agent has publically sought a move Why do people keep excusing him by talking about his agent as if his agent is independent. There is no way on this earth that pogba won’t have sanctioned his agents words and actions. Not a chance. And if he didn’t, then he could have a distanced himself from them but he didn’t. His agent continually sought a move away from united during a period that pogba didn’t play for the club. He did this on social media and through the press. Ole and his agent started having public spats over the player at a time when our manager was under the most intense pressure. This wasn’t Roy Keane negotiating a better contract but it was similar to Ronaldo - the difference being Ronaldo wanted to leave us as European champions having been the main reason we actually won it whereas pogba was trying to simply get another pay day from a floundering playing career but strong social media game. If pogba has done 1/4 of what Ronaldo has done for this club then I’d have no problem. |

I wouldn’t defend his actions last summer one bit tbh, in fact, I’d see him sold and replaced with Havertz, but as that isn’t going to happen, him staying and performing is the key. If United are competing during his peak years there won’t be a problem. Leave him to prop up the entire side while it struggles in mid table and you may see him agitate for a move. |

Conduct shouldn't be conditional. If it's as bad as you're making out, no amount of good games and service would make it ok. As for his agent. I'm not defending him and I'm not saying Pogba isnt responsible for himself.... but we do seem to be wilfully ignoring what agents are, what they do and how they say it. They hint, they talk in riddles, they put themselves first and they feedback to the player that it's for their own good. Most of these players just go with it. It doesn't make it right and Riola is notoriously one of the worst for it, but it's more commonplace than not and Pogba isn't some sort of weird exception to the dynamic. The Ole thing with Riola wasn't good. It was unhelpful, but it's a big jump from that to NEVER PLAY FOR THE CLUB AGAIN. 'Only god knows' interviews on foreign television and talking in riddles was a hallmark of Ronaldo from 2006 to the time he left. It didn't stop him having several seasons of success and didnt mean he doesn't have affection for the club. Saying 'he has done way more than pogba has' isnt an excuse. We either condemn the conduct or we dont. The fans seem to take issue with this far more than players and staff. Do you not think Ole would avoid playing him if he was as bad as he's being made out? The people who get the most upset seem to take every interview, every tweet and every agent quote to heart and then revisit it as undeniable facts. Frankly, I'm far more bothered about the Bunks assertion that he hasn't yet strung a handful of games together that make you think he will be the player we need. |

But don’t excuse him. If he gets his head down, plays like he has been doing consistently and him, his brother and his agent shut the £#%&! up trying to unsettle everything all the time then fine with me. Feels like too ambitious a change for such a monumental #@&%! to achieve but we’ll see. I’d keep him for as long as he does the right thing but £#%&! him off the moment he steps out of line. And if we have an opportunity to offload him and instead get a decent reliable alternative in then I’d take that all day long. |
