Yep, at the start of the season it was weekly Juventus forum updates about how he needed Vidal and Pirlo to hold his hand. Now that they won 9 in a row in the league and put in good performances in Europe its :tumbleweed:. We might get some updates in the summer if he doesn't do well during Euro 2016 :troll:

Pogba has played well after a bad start to the season and along with that, he disappeared from this thread :troll:

He improved, yes.
But he is still expensive almost as our whole midfield combo (Iniesta, Raki, Arda, Roberto, Rafinha, Suarez). And it is hard to say that he is better for our system than Iniesta, Rakitic and Arda.
And he is still a diva.

A perfect Galactico.

What is this based on? It's all over the place here but i can't think of something to support it.

Paul Pogba has blasted his Juventus team-mate Alvaro Morata for not giving him the ball to score during Wednesday night's draw with Borussia Monchengladbach.
Pogba has not found the net from open play yet this season, but felt he would have scored had he been given the ball against the German side.
Instead Morata, the hero of last season's Champions League campaign, elected to shoot and was denied by Yann Sommer as Juve drew a blank for the second game in a row.

'I was angry with Morata and I hope that in the next match he will pass me the ball in the crucial moment,' complained the French international, who has only a solitary penalty to his name this season.


Calling out your teammate in the press for not passing the ball to you isn't the most 'humble' behavior. Not to mention that Pogba is associated with outrageously greedy wage demands and a ratlike agent who spouts on about a 100m-120m transfer fee and had that fallout with Fergi.

Not arguing that he is indeed a diva, just that the impression does have some roots. People also get that sort of impression from his glamor-esque mannerisms on the pitch. It's very clear that he's got a sizable ego, I just don't think he can be particularly categorized as a diva. Neymar was worse in his younger days. Pogba's personality isn't what puts me off about a transfer.

Btw. Neymar is a happy chap as most Brazilian are and it helps getting along great with his teammates.
Pogba doesn't look like someone who could integrate that way.

For me its purely the money as to why I'm not keen on having Pogba here. For maybe 50million and a decent wage packet I would give it a go but for 100m+ no way.

His attitude really is crap.And neymar wasn't that bad even in his younger days.

I will not speak for others, I will say why I consider him as a diva:
-- there were mentions on Juve's forums that he often acts like a dick on the field
-- when Juve is losing or when Pogba is not playing good, he tends to play more and more selfish and to try dumber and dumber things (like ranged drives from virtually any position, Adama's style of dribbling through 48 defenders and similar)
-- Juve fans don't like some of his interviews
-- in the first part of the season, when they were losing and when he played like a crap, he was often fighting with his teammates on the field with stupid gestures and similar (like: I am always right, give the ball to me, I never make mistakes etc aka CR7 style)
-- there were rumours that he isn't too popular among teammates
-- for the end, we have a nice 100M transfer fee, his insane wage demands, and on top of all, we would need to pay additional fee to his agent

If some of Pogba's lovers jump and say: he didn't do some of the things you mentioned above, or Suarez or Neymar do the same, I am not planning to enter into debates.
If someone loves him, fine.
If someone hates him, fine.
These are personally my reasons why I don't like his (diva) personality.

You seem to have an informed opinion so i can understand that. Btw i wasn't saying he is or he isn't a diva, i was just curious because i honestly didn't know why some people thought he was one.

But if he really said what [MENTION=12906]DonAndres[/MENTION] posted, he might really be a douche.

Him being a client of The Pizza Boy is good enough a reason to not want him here at Barca! Him being a diva, his wages, his playing style not fitting Barca, etc are all secondary!!

I think that's fake quote.

Still wouldn't say he's a diva or got a bad attitude. He seem to get along with all his team mates and ex players.

Don't know where BBZ got his gossiping rumours from, but I've personally never heard that.

Talking about Neymar then didn't he get his coach sacked at Santos?

You mature with age.
