I just dont see how some could get mad at the board or Pogs for this decition. Its perfect IMO. The only concern would be him staying enought to honour the 10, but everything else is full of win.
This year, he seems to me he has sucked it up and realized that after the big names that left us... he is the next big man. He was already bigger than the 3 who left us hypewise... but they had longer and way more repectable carreers. Now, I see Pogba trying to emulate the greatness of Tevez and Pirlo, and assume responsability by guiding our team and doing that next step as a WC player, being the centre of a WC team.
IMO, i feel he is testing himself, also he is kind of doing this to show the world he is no all hype and just that.
From a marketing POV, this is the best we can do. Much better than giving the 10 to gotze or draxler or anyone new and unworthy. Pogba knows Juventus inside out, and his shirt will sell gazillions of copies. Everyone in the world will know Pogba the 10 of Juve.
I don't see him as the type of person that would ask for the #10 and then leave a year later.
I've always viewed him as a young man who is wise beyond his years and humble. I could be wrong, but everything I've read about him and watched on TV gives me the impression that he has his head screwed on correctly
Yeah, i hope that his romantic relationship with juve grows stronger, for the time when Barcelona comes he will think about it. Juve should also offer him the money needed for him to stay, and only to him as he is a special player worthy of being the exception in the wage table.
Also, being 5th/6th best player at Barça or Madrid would earn him more recognition and fame than being THE STAR at Juventus.
It's sad but it's true.
He'll never win a Ballon D'or with Juventus in my opinion.This is just putting it bluntly.
And I am not going to criticize the management for not being able to keep him because I totally understand our reality.
While it's apparent some here clearly don't.
Its the reality, but lets have hope that something can be done. Maybe turning Pogba our marquee dude and winning with him, could be the last step needed to be recognized as a top team again by the millions of football sheeps around teh world.

Not sure how i feel about him getting the number 10. If he left us after a year i would be pissed, but if he left us after a year AFTER the management decided to give him the no 10 it would be demeaning to that shirt and that will be on the peeps who decided to do that.
Good luck Pogba, stay with us forever!
I hope he is intelligent enought and responsible enought to be asking for the 10. It would let a lot to be desired if he took it for hype and then leaves for BArcelona in a year or 2.
who is the best 5th or 6th best player at barca or madrid?! do not exaggerate. Pogba is a Juve icon. when you see young kids in my poor country wearing his jersey you better rethink about your statement.
We need to hype ourselves, we need to market our brand. We were blessed with a once in a generation talent...we need to fuking hype the hell out of him and be proud of it.
