Contradictory much? If you don't give a **** then why do you find it obscene? Either way, the amount will fade over time and all that will matter is how well he performed. If someone says Robson, Keane, Torres (at Chelsea) or Di Maria no one thinks British record transfer fee. They think great players for the first two, disappointing flops for the second. Just look at Falcao - loan for both Utd and Chelsea and still seen as a flop regardless of being free. The price isn't as important as the profile of the player imo, and whilst Pogba hasn't been terrible so far he does need to raise his level to meet the hype which accompanied his transfer. Three times in the Serie A TOTY, also featuring in the UEFA TOTY and World XI, but he's not going to come close to any of those this season unless he really pulls something out for the last couple of months. That said, I'd prefer him to be a player who finds his feet the first season and grows into the league, rather than one who blows everyone away in the first season then never recaptures those heights again.
I said this about David De Gea ( When he joined us ), I'm going to say it about Paul Pogba, he'll come good for us next season in my opinion.
Nah, that was Moyes. "I didn't want Moyes to be our manager and think he's a ****. But now he's been appointed I will stand by him until it's time to stick the knife in his back" True story bro
You claim every player United sign will be world class Matth. Zaha was the next Ronaldo, Welbeck was the next Henry. Those are actual Matth quotes. I agree with Christian btw. People are far too obsessed with the amounts of money that are spent. At the end of the day, for me, as long as my club do not go bankrupt, and can afford to function as a football club, then I do not give a dusty **** how much they spend on players, stadium refurbs, wages etc..... The 21st Century football fan thinks he is an accountant, and if anything is ridiculous, it is that. Thats why when you get morons like Astro and others talking about Net spend it makes me want to.... please log in to view this image
I should also add, that I think Pogba has been an average signing, so far. He did **** all for the first half of the season, but in the last few weeks he has started to impress himself on games more and more. Think he will turn out to be a very good signing eventually.
Not contraditory AT ALL mate. I don't give a **** how much we spend. And I think that's exactly the problem - when you speak objectively about what is considered obscene, there's often this misconception that by admitting an amount is obscene you somehow are saying that you object to your club spending that amount.. when you can hold both positions quite easily.
Your actual words were "Zaha is the next Ronaldo. You can quote me on that" I am simply following your request
Complimenting an opposition player before you're due to play them. Surely not! He must have meant it and it only confirms how great Pogba has been! Frame that tweet ffs!!
Have a sneaky suspicion we will lose. I get these dreaded feeling sometimes last time was against Spurs. I also had it before the 15/16 season. We are going out
When was the last time we beat you at Stamford Bridge. It's so rare I cant remember. It's just one of those grounds for us. Best we can hope for is a 1-1 draw and replay... which we need like a hole in the head right now
