Indeed. Madrid are welcome to him for the right money.

Pogba will be complaining about his price again.

Yeah, done with him. Better players have left us. We are in the midst of the biggest rebuild we have had for many years, can't afford to have overpaid passengers that turn up for two months of the season.

its where football clubs have hamstrung themselves now with the ridiculous contracts they initially give, I mean imagine giving a player 350k a week him not performing up to that(when you compare players on similar money) then after 3 years having to up that despite him not being worth the initial contract,

still patiently waiting for the 1st player who gets a wage demotion at a contract renewal because he's not performed to his initial one(not just a end of career contract), I have a feeling will be waiting a looooooooong time

Think this happened with Ashley Young a year or two ago.

I don't know why he still gets a wage at the club to be honest.

Young falls into this exception stated by the poster "not just a end of career contract".

It'll be difficult to judge if a player has or has not performed up to the level of his salary. Whats the criteria that everyone can use and what about the mitigating circumstances? Poor form from his team mates, injuries, manager changes etc.

That's why there'll never be a situation where a player can get a wage demotion

This has been the problem (amongst many others) with the board’s thinking.

At one point they (Ole) collectively want players who would give their all to prove themselves at this club. We’ve already let one go in Herrera. And we’ve recently signed young James - who is unproven at this level.

Now we have a player who has openly aired his desires to leave. Yet we are reluctant to sell him. Mainly because he has been one of the leagues’ statistically better performers, I get that part. But statistics only paint a part of that picture. Pogba just doesn’t have the commitment to play for us in the long run. And the money - providing we get a huge fee, has to be spent on the right quality players. Otherwise it’s kind of pointless in selling Pogba for big money.
