    Re: Negligence Towards Pogba & Fryers?

    I agree. None of us know the current situation of these two players so we cannot slate them. I just hope both of them stay.
    LOVE YOU SIR ALEX!!

    There is no way i would give an unproven youth player high wages just for him to stay and if he wants to leave then so be it.

    If we sell Nani it's because we don't offer him the going rate for a winger of his skill. We sold Ronaldo, not just because he made a transfer request but because we knew there was no way we could compete with Real, etc. in terms of salary when the time came in 2 years. At some point our wage structure and policy will have to change.

    Im sick of seeing fellow utd fans slamming players like pogba and fryers for not signing any old offer utd put infront of them? Seriously these fans need to wake up and realise that were in 2012 and players dont sign or stay at clubs for pure love of the club, or the clubs history anymore, utd are going to lose 2 future star players for next to nothing all because we dont feel we have to pay the going rate for young talent because we are man utd, i mean why did utd leave of their best youth talents contracts run down to the final 7 months before even starting contract negotiations with fryers and pogba, this should of been done a long time ago, im not saying its all down to money either i feel both players have deserved more first team football to show their true abilities. When will utd and a large section of the fans realise that we have to atleast match what other teams are willing to pay top talent and for all them fans who will claim they would rather lose pogba than pay him high wages (he only wanted 20k a week not massive in this day and age) need to think on, you want the top players you have to pay for them this includes the top youth players which pogba certainly is.
    Can I just point out one minor error in your post. Pogba's own agent came out and said a contract has been agreed we (agent and Pogba) are happy with at Manchester United. SAF said a contract has been agreed with his agent. If it was down to money then surely his agent would not have agreed to the contract terms. Bottom line is we offered the same contract as Juve. Also Pogba changed his agent three times in 18 months and negotiations have been going on that long, it was Pogba that has been stalling.

    So basically your post is wrong.

    United don't reward young players with bumper contracts until they've proved they deserve it. Neither Pogba nor Fryers have got even remotely close to doing this, ergo they haven't been given the kind of deals they seem to have believed they deserved. You have to prove your worth, commitment and desire to be considered a first-team squad member and neither of these lads have done so thus far. If some other team wants to throw thoroughly undeserved large sums at these kids then more fool them.

    Look at Pogba - it's clearly about the money because he's signed for Juventus, who have gone on and signed two more players who can play in his position - meaning it's very unlikely he'll get first team footballer there before he would have with us. If it's about the football, surely it makes more sense to stay with one of the biggest clubs in the world and try and force your way into the team, rather than bolt at the first opportunity of a larger pay packet?

    Agreed

    And surely it makes sense to steer clear of a team who ruin potential class players... ie Juve ruined Giovinco.. He was all set to be the next big thing until Juve completely ruined him... Now he hasnt really improved at all and is playing for a below-par team.

    Re: Negligence Towards Pogba & Fryers?

    It is puzzling especially if SAF thinks that the players are good ( he does rate Pogba) i would give Pogba the money,I mean the lad left his country at the age of 16 for us isnt it? If he is good some sort of reward is in order especially if EVERYONE thinks highly of him. Ravel and Fryers , two United lads thru n thru. we all say we are United till the core and would play for free well hers two lads that are the same as us but they are not. I think SAF definitly takes into account attitude even if u are skillfull. n Pogba n Ravel defintly seem to think alot of themselves with agents whispering in their ears. Anyway all the fuss abt Ravell and he ended up at West Ham?????? Not too much disrespect intended to the Hammers but i think United reserves has more Glory these days.

    I'm sure we have a wage structure mate, obviously he wasn't happy with what he was offered so he went elsewhere, it's all pretty standard.

    Re: Negligence Towards Pogba & Fryers?

    Fryers was never going to be a star player, why don't you use your brain a bit? And Pogba well his stuppidity has robbed him of ever becoming the player he could have been though I still haven't heard anything official about him signing for Juve so maybe he has changed his mind again, I don't know, if he stays at utd he has a chance to be great, if he goes to Juve his career is already over. I don't blame Utd for either player, Pogba would have got his chances yet he stupidly (seems to be a pettern here) complained when he was going to be chosen to start against Ajax.

    The only thing that stopped Pogba from progressing this season was himself, don't give me this bull about his agent, he has the final say, not his agent. Fryers, fair enough, maybe he wants 1st team football which he won't be getting at Utd, truth be told originally I had no problem with Pogba wanting to leave as I thought it was simply to progress his career and then I discovered that it was Juventus he wanted to go to, and it immediately became clear that he was either after money, or he was delusional in his thinking he would get more game time at Juventus, either way, I lost all respect for him after that, and the thing I didn't like with Pogba was that when Sir Alex actually began to give the lad chances and game time he continued to threaten leaving, well honestly he can rightly get the f### out of the club if he doesn't respect that our club is far more important than he will ever be.

    I completely agree, The clubs owners are to blame in my eyes. These players are more than capable of playing in the first team but we have failed to make it happen for financial reasons mainly. Such a shame that we cannot convince these players to stay. Football has changed it is a massive money making world now and like it or not United have to go a long with it if they want to kepp their top talent and posse a continuous challege
    Doesn't make any sense at all since keeping and playing young players would be a CHEAPER option then signing new players. So no it does not come down to the owners. It most likely comes down to how much did SAF and Gill rate both players and whether they felt they were worth keeping at this time at the wages they wanted. Also,if either player is trying to demand X amount of playing time, well SAF is probably not going to give into that demand, if it does exist. Of course if a young unproven players tries hardline negotiating tactics you might just as well let him go now and avoid having to deal with it every couple of years, unless you think his talent is really worth the hassle.

    It's clear that we wanted to keep Pogba and tried but he simply chose Juventus, the owners are not to blame for that.

    As for Fryers someone that knows him said we don't really want to keep him but he wanted to stay. Don't know why. Even though I don't think he'll actually make it at United. Still puzzling.

    Some people think football is a matter of life and death I assure you it's much more serious than that

    so right Gill a letter then pal, its not something us fans have control over. If it was up to me I'd throw decent money at Pogba to keep him here, but its down to Fergie to deem him worthy or not and Gill and co to negotiate the contract.
