[Paulie Gualtieri]

Thought we were due a new thread.

@bluesfan94 I know it's usually you that creates these threads but I thought my title was witty enough to not pass up on.

Footballing memory is short and Haaland was like 10 last time United won the title.

I'd love to know who these "many offers" are.

Barcelona - nope
Madrid - not if they're going for Mbappe and Haaland.
Bayern - ruled out by his agent
Italian clubs - if Bayern can't afford him, then no-one in Italy can
PSG - can afford him, but do they really need another defensively limited attacking player?
Newcastle - can afford him, but doubt he'd want to go there.

Hopefully Utds contract offer takes this into account and is nowhere near the astronomical wages being quoted for an inconsistent, oft-injured 28 year old.

 

[Jussi]

It's a bit hard to play you when you're f***ing injured all the time!

 

[Evilo]

Pogba is defensively limited?

 

[Vasilevskiy]

One of those teams is not like the others right now

 

[Gecklund]

Guy has Newcastle written all over him.

Pogba is defensively limited?

Pogba needs a good partner to be successful and I’d argue a Verratti-Gueye/Herrera-Pogba midfield would be very successful.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Pogba is defensively limited?

I mean it’s a matter of him trying I guess. And he tries in the defensive 1/3 10% of the time.

 

[Evilo]

He's certainly not that with the national team. Pogba is limited in zero part of the field.

Cool. They should sign him on a Bosman then, if they can afford his wages.

Or United signs a real coach for a change.

That can be true and his effort against the ball for ManU can also be disappointing. Busting your ass for your national team ~10 times a year is different than doing so for your club 40+ times a year.

Or United signs a real coach for a change.

Now you're just being silly

 

[Mount Suribachi]

Well, he's going to be playing for his 4th manager at United now. Maybe this one will be the one that finally unlocks the secret to making Pogba consistent, focussed, hard working and his agent less of a complete ****.

Or not. He's 29 soon, he is who he is. He tempts you with his incredible talent and rare physical gifts, and leaves you disappointed every time. 99% of Man Utd fans are more than ready to move on from him.

He reminds me of watching Mantha as a RedWings fan. Every now and then you see what he is truly capable of, but its only ever a fleeting glance.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Raiola is talking about Haaland in the press now because he realizes he has no leverage. Maybe also because Haaland has indicated he’s staying and Raiola is upset about losing out on money. We will see.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Now that is a reach.

 

[Savant]

Pogba is defensively limited?

Yes. He is limited to being a good defensively for France only

 

[koyvoo]

I just think Pogba has to be into it. Some days, he’d rather be somewhere else, it seems. I have a hard time with athletes like that, no matter how much talent they have.

Im the type of person that plays super hard, tries super hard etc, just kicking about in the park with friends. I hate pros that have low compete levels.

I’ve just been doing it when I notice it. Well done on the title.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Serious question - how has Haaland indicated he is staying?

Can't really say that when United has hired awful coaches 4 straight times, right?
Pogba respects DD. And DD makes the most out of Pogba. I know, big surprise.
Mantha
You're comparing to one of the leading players in a WC team who was absoltely monstruous in that WC run. And a natural leader to boot.

So, your point about him being defensively limited is plain wrong.

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

Serious question - how has Haaland indicated he is staying?

And did he happen to make his agent aware of this information?

 

[JeffreyLFC]

I feel that Pogba is PSG bound, Mbappé to Real Madrid and Håland to Man City.
