If anyone ever needs a guide on the players to buy, then this is where to look.
The quarter finalists have proven time and time again that they understand the market and repeatedly produce results.
Excellent job folks, and all the best for the competition.
So he is criticising himself, his own performance and that of his teammates. What a big man. He was the worst of the lot on Sunday.
He is now a 26 year old man, yet still behaves like a petulant 18 year old.
How do you think Sir Alex would have dealt with Pogba? I'm almost certain he would join the long list of superstars that Fergie dumped as they thought they were bigger than the club itself.
I'm now hearing that he apparently didn't go over to the away fans after the game on Sunday.
That pretty much sums him up completely.
(Edit)
I just read the full interview and admittedly he talks a good game. Let's see on Wednesday if his actions back up his words.
@Dan-The-Man said in Pulisic the new king of Fi:
I would be the worst... nearly turned 10 people on this morning lol.
🤣 this is what I read ...
Just imagine this conversation in the boozer.
Dan the man 'this kid Pulisic, he's gonna be bigger than Le Bron'
George the Geordie 'Le who? I don't trust the French'
I think he is a good hold on FI for both PB and MB, although a little too expensive for me.
In the real world, I think Pogba is at the root of the problems at Utd mate. He plays when it suits him. He has the potential to be the best midfielder in the world. On occasions, he shows it.
But when he downs tools, he brings everyone else with him. I think he has seen an opportunity to move on (Madrid, Zidane), and his recent performances reflect this.
Personally, I have far more respect for boys like Smalling and Jones, who know their limitations but give everything for the club. Are they good enough for Utd? Probably not. But the desire they show every week is admirable.
There is no substitute for hard work.
@Andy-M said in Pogba, Hold or sell:
Firstly Ole wants to build a team around Pogba, He's not going anywhere, the rebuilding process will take time, but Pogba will be captain next season of a completely different team...
When you say 'completely different team', are you referring to Real Madrid?! 😉
Pogba infuriates me. We all know what he is capable of, but his attitude on the pitch is disgusting.
The Ole press conference after the Everton defeat made mention of wanting his team to be the hardest working in the league. Yet, the match I watched, Pogba strolled around, lost possession and didn't give a shit about anyone but himself. He is no leader of men.
I am hopeful that he will be one of many to leave Utd in the summer.
If the club is rebuilt around him, the cancer will remain. 👨⚕️
Zidane wants rid of Bale, that is clear.
I firmly believe that Bale wants to leave Madrid also, but is adopting a stance of wishing to stay, in order that he is payed loyalty bonuses etc.
If he requests a transfer, my understanding is that he would then forgo specific bonuses due to him, which probably total millions of euros.
I think the same thing happened with Rooney at Man Utd when the Everton move was rumoured.
I very much doubt he would end up in China and that is just scaremongering. He can't even speak Spanish after 5 years there ...
On his day, he is a cracking player. But his injury record and durability give me the fear. I previously held futures in him and he is my single biggest loss and mistake on the index.
You won't fool me twice Mr Bale ... 🤣
Out of interest, why do you think Milan and Sevilla have frozen him out?
Perhaps they believe he is not good enough (yet) and is not developing as they had hoped.
I'm pretty sure everyone of the goals he scored for Sevilla were tap ins.
I want to like the kid, I genuinely do, but every time I watch him, I am disappointed.
Weren't the 9 goals all scored within 1 month at the start of the season, then he turned to dogshit.
I made a fair amount of money on him at that time. I also watched him play in several games and he doesnt get involved in the build up play and is technically pretty average.
As a result, his PB scores rely on him getting a hatrick to even challenge the likes of Messi or the Hazard brothers.
Admittedly, he will move on from Milan, so might generate some MB interest if he comes to the EPL.
