Paul Pogba

What has Demebele done to deserve the bad attitude/mentality tag?  I’ve not followed his career closely just that he’s been injured a lot.

@BordeauxBlue would you say Dembele is similar in attitude to Pogba?

Yes, I suppose he is. Mourinho called him a virus for a reason. 

I know people say Pogba is a different player for France, but that should tell you all you need to know - The guy is paid 300k a week and doesn't even turn up.

Both players are flaky, flash attention seekers, both far too often unfit with too much given to them too soon and they don't graft. They are gassed on their own reputation, because it's all they have left.

But they have loads of talent and promise, so people put up with it for a few goals here and there and the odd Hollywood pass...

Stay clear!!

From what I've heard and read about: The way he bailed out of Dortmund, the lack of effort to stay fit and live healthy, the relationships with his teammates. The parties and video-game till morning. A general lack of professionalism, as reported in many articles over the years. 

Hanging around with Griezman was a poor decision, since they're both dumb as rocks. 

I seem to recall him missing a sitter against Liverpool at the Nou Camp too. That's got to count against him!

Interesting because Mou is the only manager who has criticized Pogba.  He was popular with his teammates apparently, he was the only person that Ronaldo respected.  There was an article just yesterday about how great of a teammate he is.  I think he gets criticized a lot because of his ever-changing hair styles and his social media persona. It also didn't help that he was the first young player to defy Sir Alex. Solskjaer had a good relationship with Pogba. Rangnick also had a good relationship with Pogba.  

I guess because he's not head down, no flair, William Wallace some don't like him. He's had less off the field scandals than most players but I guess that's not enough for some as it doesn't fit their narrative.

Well you seem to be bang on it with French players so this may well be another expensive disaster then.

 
I thought this thread was about Pogba?

This would be another Lukaku situation in the making.  We remember all the good qualities he has and their best performances and hope all the negatives will miraculously disappear.  In the end when things aren’t going well they give up and have no drive to turn things around. We need fighters, players with the will to win no matter the odds something that Drogba personified and Lukaku and Pogba lack.  There are many talented players out there but few that combine the talent and mentality we need, Pogbas not one of them.

He looks as humble as Kante and Zola when stood next to Lukaku. 

 
Just what we need, to blow big wages on an aging player who has been a disappointment and clubhouse cancer for 6 years at ManU during his prime. Oh! But I am sure all that will change when we sprinkle our fairy dust on him here!🤮
