Paul Pogba (170 Viewers)

[GordoDeCentral]

Btw the reason he didn't move last summer was because his image rights issue wasn't settled, only normal for him to go for the big paycheck once that's taken care of, also let's not forget he paid ten mil for that, which is still a lot of money even for him

i still don't understand our management.
If we wanted we could have forced 1 more year in Turin and then offload it to United.
Did we really need those money they're offering?

Its ridicolous to think Pogba can simply be replaced by Pjanic, not only is skill level higher, but he is so damn complete as a player, which is why I said third, because his strenght, defensive ability and sheer powerful dynamicism is quality we will miss big time (his only weakness is mental aspect/tactical maturity). A soft physically weak technical playmaker isnt all it takes to replace him.

Pirlo was soft and physically weak, pogba was very skilled but his direct impact is seen mostly in scoring, which we will see also from pjanic in deadball situation. Pjanic is also a better assist man, as for the physicality I'm pretty sure we are getting someone

whats the story with his image rights?

 

[Hængebøffer]

His ambition is him

Yes. And he won't win anything there.

that's your opinion.

For me Pjanic easily replaces 70% of Pogba and that's good enough for me.
Higuain, Alves and whoever's gonna be the new CM will take care of the other 30%.

 

[NguyenDucCuong]

I like Paul Pogba

 

[Marc]

To be honest, I count his goals at mostly 25% of what he contributes in total.

This is friggin worse, we are losing a 23 year old that has potential to become an all time great midfielder. Zidane was 24 when we got him and we sold him at his height at 29, Pogba isnt even at his height yet and could been amazing for us for so many years. Defenitely harder pill to swallow for me, and I say this in comparison to Zidane who is the most breaktaking player one could have the pleasure of seeing on a pitch.

He replaces a third of Pogba, the creativity/technical part, Pogba is so much more then that. Complete and utter beast.

Let it go bro, the void will be felt when the season kicks in, it is then they will realise what is missing in the matches.

Pjanic should have been the missing piece to a world-class midfield and CL glory, not a Pogba replacement to more or less keep the status quo.

Indeed, I dont care what anyone says, right now this is clear downgrade, no amount of sugarcoating will change that. We were supposed to add Pjanic to improve a midfield that lacked his type, not replace Pogba who Pjanic is nowhere close to.

whats the story with his image rights?

Before raiola, his first agent/mentor owned his image rights, pogba had to wait till 2016 to get them back from him for 10 million euros

 

[InterMerda]

I wouldn't call it a downgrade yet since we don't know who will replace him. Beppe knew this was coming, it'd be idiotic to assume he doesn't have something up his sleeve.

i dont think anyone would turn down a 3x higher salary, but im saying i doubt he will get it there

Some people might. And here's why.

I understand for normal people like me why it would be difficult to to turn down 3x higher salary, because it could change our lives. But what I don't understand is how does it matter if you earn $150,000 a week, or $400,000 a week, your lifestyle and standard of living is not going to be any different at all!
I would much rather earn $150,000 a week at a place where I can win more stuff than $400,000 a week because let's face it, what is it that I can't buy if I earn $150,000 a week that I can buy if I earn $400,000 a week?

There's no difference in lifestyle. I'll eat the same, live in a similar house, have similar holidays, drive the same cars and even fuck the same women.
I never understand footballers or any celebrities at that high level of earning who switch jobs for little more money since from an economics perspective, your lifestyle's improvements start to show diminishing returns.

There's nothing that Buffon won't enjoy or be able to afford that let's say someone like Messi or Ronaldo would be able to afford. After you earn around $70-80,000 a week, it's just numbers and has no impact on your standard of living when it starts going up from there.

Maybe it's just me?

10M for someone elses image rights, not a bad deal at all for his former agent

 

[Xperd]

Pogba earns 4.5M net at the moment. No way United will give him 13.5M net salary, 7-8M tops, which is what he would get here if he extended his contract

Nope. They are offering him that kind of salary. Stop making it sound as if he isn't leaving for the money. He's getting superstar wages like Neymar, Bale and others.

people are greedy

Well he kinda got fucked hard by pogba/raiola, good thing he had that bit of insurance

 

[zizinho]

Bale gets 10M pounds before tax, so Pogba would be getting much more obviously. no idea how much Neymar gets after he extended, but Pogba will be 3rd highest paid player in the world, 4th depending on how high Neymars wages are. and that playing in a team that has Zlatan Ibrahimovic. nope, he wont get that much

€4,5m a year?
