Paul Pogba

[JamDav1982]

When did Pogba say the balon dor is his biggest goal?

Can see it now! Somehow missed it first time.

 

[TornAndFrayed]

No he won't be as disciplined as Raki, not his job and why not play him to his strenghts? It's like someone would say "Messi will never be as disciplined as Henrik Larsson". And comparing him to Iniesta, the best CM/AM of the last 10 years, is also unfair.
Anyway, I just don't get the hate towards Pogba. Kid is ambitous and has crazy talent. Would he be a fit in Barca? Not sure. Does he have a scumbag agent? Yes. Will he cost shitloads of moneyz. Most probably.

He's just not worth the hype but you can see he buys it himself. If we sign him, it'll be on a higher wage then everybody save msn and maybe piqué and iniesta.
Can't see him accepting rotation in midfield either.

Not to mention, we really don't need him in midfield... One LB/CB is needed and possibly a back up CF, and we'll never afford these if we try to sign him.

I would take him at Barca without a doubt and dont have any fears about his attitude or desire to one day win balon dor.

The only issue is the money and just cant see Barca being able to give him what he wants with big contracts to other players.

Any (supposedly-existent) diva attitude he has will evaporate once he gets nutmegged 4 times in a row by Messi in his first training session.

True, I don't disagree. But it's two completely different things, him being a fit in Barca at the moment + the money/wage/rotation and whether he's a diva (or not) issue AND people hating at his talent. Pogba is still young and if he continues to develop than he'll be an amazing player - he already looks like playing against amateurs sometimes, just dribbles 3-4 players like they aren't even there. There are many more dimensions he needs to add to his game to be well rounded and become one of the best midfielders the next 10 years, not really different from what Neymar did. People where saying "omfg, such a youtube player and diva and diver and wages + transfer and straight from Brazil without experience from a top league in Europe and haircut - Pedro is a team player, so much wow". And now? Not saying Pogba will be the same, but...

I personally have nothing against Pogba outside of the opinion that I don't want him for the reasons you quoted.

Stop lying. We all know you're jealous of his hair.

 

[xavi_the_Boss]

We don´t need him right now.

 

[George_Costanza]

We don´t need him right now.

We don't have black player, you don't want others to call us racist club for selling Eto'o, Yaya, not giving extension to Abidal, loaning Song and not giving chances to young La Masia black players and then selling our young black talent Adama.

We gonna buy him for diversity sake.

Is this not evidence for Messi racism? How am I the only one seeing this?

 

[Catalan Fan]

He's not got a beard, hence he's not for us.

We don't need poncy haircuts, Ronaldo wannabees.... we need dedicated, dependable, bearded men who will rally to our cause.

 

[ini4ever]

i think he fits with lucho's tactics ( especially when lucho insists on using at least one b2b player )
he's good for teams that playing 4.2.3.1, one DM and one b2b, but not for barca ( that's not the only reason, i hate his agent lol ) plus his price too, ridiculously to spend +50 m for him.
i prefer verrati.

 

[Marchisio8]

Pogba is not a great player. He could be a star though but that's rather irrelevant.

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.

Now, I'm not saying that Pogba actually is a diva, because I don't know him that we'll. But I can relate to those who don't want him because of this issue.

Why and how?

 

[Horatio]

According to Paolo Bargiggia from Sport Media Set Pogba has no interest to play for Real. Only has ears for Barcelona.

Don't know how credible this is.

 

[Barcaman]

Ears? Too bad he hasn't got legs for FC Barcelona.
