Mino Raiola has confirmed that his client, Paul Pogba, who was on the bench yesterday for our game against Wigan, has yet to decide whether he will stay at Manchester United or join Juventus.
“He can remain at Manchester United or go to Juventus,” said Raiola. “It’s a tough decision to be taken by the boy, thinking of his career. Both possibilities present some chances. It’s a choice that should be made quietly. United count on him and want to extend his contract. His future will depend very much on the will of the boy.”
Tuttosport claimed today that Juve have offered him €23,000 a week which works out at just under €1.2m a year. It’s hard to know how true these claims are given they refused to pay Lucas Piazón €1m a year, which lead to his move to Chelsea last year.

I wish he played more. Even if he isn’t ready, surely he might be more effective than Giggs at CM
decide quickly or fuck off
he must stay but all the transfer rumours linking united with hundreds of midfielders might make him go
Empty him it is grief that isn’t needed + he’s not much cop anyway.
Interesting quote about Juve and Lucas Paizon. It brings to mind Fergies adage about the neighbors field and the shock prices being paid to foreign players (in all leagues really) compared to local talent.
Fergie won’t pay Pogba 1M but Juve will pay Pogba 1.2
Juve wont’ pay Paizon 1M but Chelsea will likely pay way more.
No one wants to be manipulated by their own boys.
Similarly, no one wants to look like they don’t have the clout to bring in top talent from other teams.
Feel it will always be thus.
Well I for one hope he finally makes up his mind and stays. Not for nothing, but it’s Berbatov’s spot on the bench he’s taken in recent weeks. Just so his majesty will be convinced to stay at the club.
go if you think united isn’t big enough for you
his majesty….thats the perfect word to describe him…spot on costas
I wish he’d been given a few more opportunities in the first team, for his development, for the experience, and possibly to inject some energy into United’s midfield, plus the occasional shot from distance. I hope he stays as Fergie clearly wants him to do. He may well have given up on Ravel Morrison, but to lose two such highly-touted midfielders from the FA Youth Cup winning team would look like United are no longer the place to go for young promising players. It’s as much a matter of perception as anything. We missed out on Aaron Ramsey and Gareth Bale for this sort of reason, that you don’t get a chance at United as the team is always in the hunt for top honours and thus can’t risk inexperienced youngsters coming in. Of course United have given lots of games to Evans, Rafael and Welbeck coming up from below (and would have given Cleverley more if he’d been fit), plus Chris Smalling, Phil Jones and de Gea from outside, showing that if you have the talent you’ll get a chance at United, whatever your age. I wish there was a bit more boasting at United about how many ex-Reds make it as pros, showing that even if you don’t make it at United you’ll almost certainly make a career somewhere, based on what you’ve learned from United’s coaching staff.
Haven’t seen him enough to be bothered either way, all I will say if he is on the verge of making the first team 23k a week doesn’t seem much.
Either way as the old saying goes shit or get off the pot because I’m becoming bored with this saga
Just a typical agent who wants a huge commission out of the deal, no way has pogba even come close to deserve that kind of money yet. If he stays whos to say he won’t demand mad wages again down the line? GREED
If he has not made his mind by now, he should fuck off, gready bastard!!!!!! Wha’s there to think about?
I would ask for next to nothing just to be at the greates club if a chance like this was presented to me at 18!
Time’s up, Pogba. Ta-ra
Got to the lakes! Freshen up then go and drown my sorrows in a boozer as it’s pissing it down! I would like Pogba to stay. Quality at a young age is hard to cone by and when you have it in your grasp then it’s criminal to let it go. Having said that, if the boy wants to leave let him go. I’ve always maintained no matter how good you are, if you dont want to stay and your life is governed by how many zeros are on your pay cheque, move on. Off topic, King Eric will like this one. Adrian Durham on talk shite saying City would have sewn the league up by February had Tevez not gone and that our league win (mind games Durham, league hasn’t been won yet!) will be a hollow victory. Says no other club in the Prem has had to deal with the loss of such a star!! Fuck off you ginger fake fucking Peterborough yet we all know you’re a city fan, play dough face Durham !! Try losing both centre halts in the first match of the season!!! Try loosing WORLD CLASS probably THE BEST defender in world football for pretty much the entire season! Try missing your starting central midfielders for the entire season. Try having to play ALL 3 keepers in a season due to injury. You fucking inbred spineless lying cunt. Right, beer o’clock.
Pogba can do what he likes. United have Ollie Norwood and Tunnicliffe. They might not be as talented as Pogba, but committed and dedicated players who work hard will workout when talent doesn’t work hard or stay committed.
How much would it cost to replace him with similar? Let’s say £4m+ – that’s basically all he’s asking for, and I feel we should just pay it. If he isn’t improving after a year or two, he’ll at least have a resale value.
Interesting read on player ratings.
Toss up between David DeGea and Paul Scholes for Player of the year!
http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereveningnews/sport/football/manchester_united/player_ratings/2011-2012/6119328
It’s almost midnight for Pogba. I refuse to fuss about him anymore. If he leaves, he leaves. His gilded carriage will turn into a pumpkin very quickly at Juve. Next.
How long does it take to fucking decide?
I would give him till the last game of the season, if he doesn’t make up his mind, SAF should hook the cunt by the arsehole and throw him into the gutters where he belongs. If he knows what good for him he’ll stay at United, if he doesn’t he can fuck off like the rest.
His only excuse for leaving United should be to go back to France because it’s his country of birth, anything else suggests he’s a spoilt bitch that should have been left at Le Havre.
I’ll be disapointed if Pogba leaves because we wouldn’t pay him enough. €23,000 a week (about £1m a year) is not over the top and refusing to pay it could be a false economy. Pogba could be worth £20m in two or three years time.
Give the kid a break. Deciding that Pogba is an entitled prick based on a quote from his agent is madness. Who knows what the real story is?
From what I’ve seen he looks very very good. I don’t want him to go.
I can’t put it in much simpler terms.
Paul don’t be a tool. Stay at United. You know it makes sense.
He’s one of the most gifted players on the ball we have. looked at ease for him when he game on against bilbao in the second leg yet he doesnt get ahead of giggs in midfield. Fergie should start blending him in now otherwise we can say goodbye to a really talented and watch him shine at another club and regret we sold him. Him and cleverly are the future both played with one another and understand each others game. When were 2-0 -3-0 up fergie should be bringing these players on not welbeck (one of the worst players we have, only rated highly cause hes english). we wont keep winning titles with lack of class need to find some players who have good technical ability. if spains mid table team showed us up I hate to see what madrid and barcalona would have done to us if we still in the champions league. jones has a lot to learn still keeps getting caught out of position. we need smalling back at right back to have someone who understands it well. we need to get behind hernandez and stop putting more pressure. hes been injured most the season yet is one of our top scorers. I hope fergie buys a workhorse in the midfield to get round or fletcher regains his fitness.
Enjoy this year as I am but with this squad I dont reckon we will be a top european club for much longer. We’ll struggle to win much with this team.
Our Paul, we’d like you to stay and just so you know, this is what you could be cashing in for:
Italian league leaders Juventus have been fined 30,000 euros (£25,000) and warned about the future conduct of their fans after they made racist chants during Wednesday’s 2-1 home win against Serie A rivals Lazio.
No one cares if you’re neon orange with blue hair here, we’re United.
Issa okay no, city will buy him for 50 million and give him 500,000 a week and put a poster up for the lad, no?
(Not the airline)
@Giles Oakley
There is such a place which recognises the ex united players its called sunderland athletic. Im not much of a stat man but id say at the moment united have more ex players ifrom our academy) in the premier league than any other. Hopefully im not wrong.
Driving listening to talk sport Durham and Gough talking about Roman giving the new manager a 200mill kitty,anyone know if that’s fact
I think he just wants to feel loved lol, I think he has a bright future ahead with the right manager and coaching team helping that development, the last talent Juve developed was Del Piero, he should stay at United, I think his representatives are pushing the totals up to have more money for themselves. I really don’t know who Fergie will buy in the summer, I hope they can push us on to a higher level in the league and in europe though, the competition doesn’t stand still so we can’t afford to either, another season like that in europe would anger me, talk about LAME, Fergie does need to pull some diamonds out of the hat this summer, midfield diamonds are needed to replace the Ginger Wizard and Mr. Old Trafford, I’m gonna make a statement now that I want to regret, here goes I DON’T THINK Cleverley has what it takes, this is the summer where the bank vault rapists aka the Glazers need to just give Fergie five blank cheques, players should choose United over all others, but in many cases they go elsewhere that needs changing……..
Tevez has hardly played this season. Before the incident in Munich he was on the transfer list and on the bench. He’d already been replaced. City just couldn’t find anyone daft enough to buy the mardy arse little cunt.
I don’t listen to talksport. In fact I hardy follow any form of football journalism. Just a quick look at football 365, an odd hour of sky sports news and I click on a few links on here. Apart from that I’m not interested. It helps keep the blood pressure down. Football journalists make me fume.
I don’t mind him taking his time and don’t see it as an insult to the club. If he stays, I want him to stay for the right reasons and while they appear obvious to us, he’s still just a kid who’s got more than a few serpents whispering in his ear. How many of you at his age didn’t take things for granted? He’s not said a word on the matter and appears to be mulling over what’s best for his career and life, not who will pay him a few extra quid.
If SAF wants him to stay, he must trust the boys character. In the end, if he decides to stay I would be delighted and if he goes, so be it. I just don’t see the point in taking it so personally.

Just had to re-post this …….with my answer….
Lack of class…… unparalleled pathetic stupidity…….
at least I support Utd unlike you with your negative ramblings……. and I feel you are worth cussing….
Kindly go fuck yourself and take your stupid alter egos with you….cunts like you make me sick.
Sign or fucking jog on!! This bellend is beginning to fuck me off!!
Watson have you got it or do you need some Sherlock intervention with Moriaty?
TonyBee
Hey moron, you forgot to paste it on the Gaitan thread.
Hurry, jackass, hurry!
The hype surrounding pogba is FUCKING winding me up big time. How can he still be struggling to make a decision of staying? maybe we should have expected this, he left france for us in The same controversial fashion, we may well experience it as wel.
FUCKING greedy cunt of an agent is playing his own part to influence his decision so he can get enough commission. Pogba is indecisive and needs to hurry up because there are other talents capable of taking his place. How much words to convince him will Fergie have to throw at him?
samuel
Relax, friend. Don’t let the Pogba thing get to you. Like you said, there are other talents waiting in the wings. One of them’s named Ryan Tunnicliffe, and he aint going nowhere.
I think he is in limbo with what he wants to do as he may not know where he stands. Talk is cheap and fergie can tell pogna that he wants him to stay and that he is part of his plans but he said that about berba at the start of the season. I imagine the lad needs proof and that will only come with how often he gets on the field and how many ‘big’ signings we make for the midfield in the summer (therefore pushing him further down the pecking order) as now it looks like scholes and giggs will play on so if ando stays tom is fit and after the season carrick has had anymore players come in without sales and he could end up being loaned out and I dont think that is what he wants.
On the other hand I dont see fergie being willing to give him too much playing time before he commits his future so it may just be a bit of a stalemate where I feel pogba must adopt the united policy of ‘in fergie we trust’ and he will realise united is where he should be if he wants to become all that he can be and hopefully push for the premier league key (21) next year.
Football >>> money
Is this kid for real? Fergie has publically praised him and even got Rio to persuade him to stay. Show some respect you cunt or fuck off. Get fucking Tunni in shortly. He is a kid who would run through walls for United. As will kids in time like Cole and Lingard etc. This has become very boring.
Costas. Nail on the head mate at 16 39.
Mike. Hello mate. Beer Sunday? I WILL be there this time. Whereabouts in lakes are you? Love it up there pal. Got engaged on lake windermere in a boat in 99! Anyway yes I heard that Ginger bastard. What a cunt. Play dough face. Ha quality. He is a wum and tries to get calls. I was stupid enough a year or so wasting money texting or calling. He constantly contradicts himself. Two months ago City were Barca. Spurs were top drawer. Now the league is shite. All ifs and buts with him. What if Fletch and Vida had been fit. What if Edwin hadn’t retired. What if Cleverley and Ando kept up their early season form. Fact is Tevez HAS NOT featured and that is the whole point. He is a fucking whore and that’s why Fergie got rid and that’s why we will win number 20. He is a little Ingerlunder who has witnessed fuck all joy watching his shithouse little Peterborough. He is a Hull Rugby league fan. What an idiot. The only buzz from Footy he has witnessed is watching his beloved Ingerlund beat the Dutch and Germans. Fucking cunt. Have a great time Mike.
Manny. Pogba and Cleverley didn’t play together. However Tunni and Pogba did. As I say imo Tunni and Clevz are our future. Tunnis will to win and drive coupled with Toms guile.
Everyone has their opinions but some are so fickle. Cleverley is a right little player who was top drawer till that fat cunt chopped him. He ran the second half at Wembley in August. He has been out ages now all of a sudden he aint united quality. Welbeck is over rated? Fuck me. Ten goals and but for immaturity and composure should be on 15 in his breakthrough season. He is fucking 20. How is he over rated. He brings summat different to the table. Oh and I didn’t realise Fergie was a fucking clown who hasn’t won shit loads of titles and cups but some on here clearly know better. Patience is a virtue yet some want instant results year in year out from new sides with kids being blooded.
Oh and anyone doubting Tunni. He may not be as naturally gifted as Pogba but watch the second half in the youth cup when we beat the murderers three two. Pogba got sent off and Tunnis drive and sheer will to win saw the hard little cunt boss the midfield single handedly.
Finally back to Cleverley. Its funny as I seen to recall between August and October or whenever it was the incessant crying out for Sneijder and a Scholes replacement (which is impossible) subsided somewhat. Cleverley has great technique. Likes to go forward. Is intelligent. Great one and two touch player. Tenacious and happens to be fucking telepathic with Danny. Fuck sake give the young ones a chance instead of writing them off after eight months.
King Eric….hihihihi “Is this kid for real?” ahahahhahahah
Yes it is, this is 21th century pal…players dont respect no one….but on the other side he can decide, he is not jerk if he wants to go.
When i red what Nasri said to journalist that arsenal fans forget him and that he will win PL Citeh…then you can see how players change their minds…but not just change it, but they are rude..I would brake legs to Nasri if I would be arsenal fan
Go get racial abuse in Italy idiot. Fool. He clearly likes being the prima dona centre of attention. If he had a brain and wanted to do things quietly he would have made a decision. The fact he has not made one means he is either playing games or stupid, or both. I am beginning to really hate this guy.
Pogba lesbian transvestite. Fuck off with your sleazy agent. Shit head. Get off our bench and piss off if you don’t know what you want. Now I am MAD.
Regulars will know the strength of my pissed off-ness with Pogba, when I say I would rather have Berbatov on the bench. At least he wants to play for the Club and does not have to be persuaded.
RE Paul Pogba
More Rialla mind games
http://sportwitness.ning.com/forum/topics/agent-s-two-interviews-in-a-day-could-be-to-pressure-manchester-u
I’m struggling with the fact that Raiola is also Balotelli’s agent. There’s a conflict of interest a mile wide there.
@Manny – Welbeck one of the worst players we have? Are you shitting me? Have you actually been watching our games this season or not?
With regards to Pogba – i said it a few weeks ago – just coz he’s getting in the matchday squad now, doesn’t mean he’s agreed to sign. I’ve got a bad feeling about this one, but if he wants to go…..then no point keeping him. You want players who themselves WANT to be at the club.
Its disappointing because he’s exactly the type of player we need IMO – energetic, can win the ball, gets about the pitch…..but crucially, has class on the ball as well. Buying that type of player in the transfer market could cost us millions. Would like to see him get some opportunities tbh, he’s a far better option in midfield than Park/Giggs
It’s really quite a no-brainer. He stays and potentially breaks into a squad that believes in youth, or he goes and warms the bench (or maybe he won’t even make it to the bench) in Italy.
I think it’s more to do with his agent than Pogs himself. What a greedy bugger, this Mino guy.
It is for all to see how Fergie tries to give Pogba as many minutes as possible from games. After every 2-0 at OT or comfortable score away he already thinks about bringing on the player.
So decide mister Pogba.
Sell Pogba promote Tunni, problem solved
Pogba is not even a first team regular yet, and he is throwing his pram around. What will happen he if manage to play a few games? Or when he reaches 100 games? Threaten to leave again so that we will bow down to him? I suppose Rooney’s saga played a part in this mentality that you can hold our club to ransom, because prior to that, anyone who wanted out, was shown the door immediately
Agree with Marq. Just fucking do one already Pogba. Tired of hearing about you thinking you are a star and demanding big money after making a handful of appearances so far. GTFO
saad >cunt
leave. if you have doubts about staying in united, that means you’re not united enough.
i Cant understand why people can be so blind and stupid? If you stay at United, even things do not go so well, you know you’;; end up somewhere good anyway. Look at all the young players that didnt make it at united, most of them play in top tier football league.
Having said that, Pogba is good player and SAF acknowledged that by giving him the bench spot week in week out. How often does that happen to 18 years old players at united???
It took ages for fletch and gibbo to be a regular, so he must learn to adapt with the system at united.
If he is all Bling Bling like that cunts Tevez and Balotelli, the FUCKING LEAVE!
we know if he can act this way now, he is certainly more than capable to put the club on ransom again somewhere in the future.
Pogba should change his name to PIGba. Looks like only money is on his mind
