Interesting quote from ole today.
When asked if the side he played in norway was his 1st 11 for Chelsea.
He said
We have tried many combinations pre season and you can be sure that it was not my 1st 11 because paul pogba will be in my 1st 11.
Nobody is coming up with the cash. I hope pogba continues the way he has been pre season if he stays. Personally i have my doubts that he will but only time will tell. He will look better for sure with 4 or 5 new players around him if he does stay.
31 Jul 2019 13:34:16
Ole has said time and again he wants pogba at the club.
31 Jul 2019 13:50:40
Pogba's form has always been up and down, unfortunately when he didn't perform nobody in the team was able to step up.
Hopefully with the new signings, if they happen, we won't have to rely on Pogba week in week out, which is probably better for him and the club.
31 Jul 2019 13:54:07
Says all the right things.
But I do wonder how much of what he's says actually matters.
31 Jul 2019 14:25:09
Pogba has said he wants to go ole has said he wants to keep him and has recieved no offers.
I don't believe anyone will stump up for him but if an offer comes in i think he should be allowed go if he wants to.
If nobody comes up with the offer then i would like to think he will come out and say he wants to stay and fight to help put the club back where it belongs.
31 Jul 2019 15:10:11
Pogba said it was maybe time for a new challenge nothing more.
31 Jul 2019 15:44:54
Jred do you believe he wants to stay or do you think he wants to leave for Madrid if they make an offer?
Obviously his agent has said he wants to leave and ed002 has been told likewise i can't be 100% sure but its very easy for him to quash the rumours if they are not true.

A lot of players would like to play for madrid, I would myself to be honest .
I personally wouldn't listen to word his agent says but each to there own .
31 Jul 2019 16:12:56
We know he doesn’t want to stay.
We have known for the past year.
We know that the club is pricing him out of a move.
We know that it is way past stupid to keep him at the club.
But I wouldn’t be surprised if he is still here when the window shuts:
31 Jul 2019 16:13:50
Time for a new challenge is strong enough words when wanting to leave.
United have known his intentions for sometime. While he might not be screaming it from the rooftops, the club know his wishes.
31 Jul 2019 16:25:39
Sorry Jred its not clear from your answer. Do you believe he wants to stay?
Im don't think its right to make a player stay that would prefer to leave. But if nobody comes in to buy him he obviously has no choice.
I agree his agent would not be the most trustworthy of characters but i'm sure ed002 wouldn't be saying it if it wasn't.
31 Jul 2019 16:30:04
Angelred he won't be the only player who would be open to a move .
Got to wonder why Madrid have already blew 300 mil on players and yet still not moved for pogba .
Be interesting to see how they raise the cash for pogba and mbappe.

I'm sure if madrid chucked a load of cash at it he would like to play for them, I'm sure a lot of players would .
Not many turn down Madrid and plenty dream of playing for them but it doesn't look like madrid are in for him and as such I would say he his happy to stay another year .
Infact i think he will stay at least another 12 month . But you never know .
Did DDG not want to leave?
31 Jul 2019 17:19:35
I think he did wasnt to leave jred yes. But not maybe as badly and maybe for different reasons.
But again no offers psg wanted him to run down his contract. Thad july he want prepared to do that and he will be handsomely rewarded.
Will pogba do the same? I doubt it. My issue is if we begin to build a new side which we need to, and pogba is a focal point of that he has no intention of hanging around not even in the medium term.
I think he has been great pre season not a murmur from him to his credit. If he accepts he has to stay and keeps his head down and has a great season without causing any unnecessary media hype like he has been then i'd be delighted. But i'm not sure he is capable of that for a while season particularly if we hit a road bump.
On the upside if he does stay he will have 4 or 5 new players that are miles better than those he had to play with for the last couple of years that may compliment him a bit better and him them a bit better.
31 Jul 2019 17:35:31
There will always be media attention around pogba.
Pogba needs to sort his own form out there is more to it than blaming players around him.
There is a chance any player could leave that's footy so I wouldn't be to worried about what ifs.
Did DDG not want to and very nearly join Madrid?
31 Jul 2019 17:55:44
I think his form will improve if he had better players to play with for sure.
31 Jul 2019 18:06:09
You could say that about any player?
But pogba was below par last year and that was down to him .
31 Jul 2019 18:26:51
I agree he was not putting in the effort. Signs of an unhappy player. That is down to him. But i'm hoping he will be inclined to put more effort in if he sees others performing around him instead of no runs around him and a huge lack of tech ability .
Im not defending his poor attitude i just think he will do better with more movement and ability around him. Players were static he was lethargic negative players unfit players all around him it seemed to suck the life out of him.
31 Jul 2019 18:36:32
See. We can all play nice :)
31 Jul 2019 19:24:36
For the most part our tactics where defensive and static it sucked the life out most the team not just pogba.
31 Jul 2019 22:01:22
Sure jred. But pogba has let it known to the board. Ed002 has made that extremely clear. he's been angling for quite sometime. Do you know of others in the squad doing the same?
31 Jul 2019 22:36:38
And DDG never? And no he isn't the only one.
