    So what?

    He has given absolutely nothing to the club and taken plenty.

    He needs to remember where he was, how old he is and where he now is. He's like some cocky/spotty kid who dropped out of school at 16 but had a real talent for mathematics but was wasting it by flipping burgers at McDonalds. Someone spotted his talent so gave him a job with a blue chip banking firm and two years later he repays them by moaning he's not been made ****ing managing director and wants to go and work for Lloyds bank on a pay rise!

    He can go and **** off and join Mr Morrison with my blessing, tarraa.

    Pogba will become a non player in some unknown league in 5 years time

    Nothing against the lad going, clearly didnt think he was god enough to play real football at a real club with no history of cheating or anything dodgy so dropping down 40 or 50 levels to the equivalent of the Dorset disabled with no legs or arms division 12 B league ( Serie A ) is probably a good move.

    I find it odd that a young player with tons of potential, would want to leave the biggest club in the world, with a manager with a pretty decent track record of nurturing young talented players into world class players.

    I thought you guys were predicting he was the future of UTD a few months back?

    He had the potential to be, there's no hiding from the fact that we have lost one of our best youngsters. At the end of the day though we've had plenty of players that look great in the reserves and not make the step up and Pogba hadn't done anything for United yet, so all we've lost is potential.

    True.

    We have the same issue at our club. Plenty of extremely talented youngsters with loads of hype being thrown about left right and centre, when in reality the majority won't make the grade.

    Saying that though, Kelly and Flanno have been decent since joining the first team. The only other two (out of about 10 names being thrown about) are Sterling and Coady, I'm near on certain they'll be big players in the future. Possibly the Silva kid we have too. Other than that - cant see it happening for the rest. Especially as these days football is just a financial playground, which in itself makes the step up from the academy to the first team so much harder than back in the day.

    So do I, completely baffling.

    These lads don't seem to understand that they have to earn the right to play first team football and if he wasn't getting it the reason was that he isn't good enough and isn't ready. If he wants to try his luck and ridiculous ego out elsewhere then he can just **** right off. And United can take that house they bought his parents back too, **** em.

    He'll end up ****, he had the potential to go far if he'd learned his trade but he chose to go. I really have no time or patience for these imbeciles.

    The biggest issue with young talented players in this day and age is their mentality. Players who can work hard everyday and remain levelheaded are the players who make it. All of the young players who get game time at United portray a desire to work hard and become a better player. The players that don't are the players that get shipped out. See Ravel Morrison for example. He's never going to be a world beater at West Ham. I'm sure it's the same Liverpool.

    There are an awful lot of conflicting reports. Didn't Pogba say not too long ago that he was looking to break into the first team next season? Or just generally about having an role in the first team squad? Personally I think this is a complete non story...at the moment.

    True, I just read the article and nothing is quoted or based on facts, and is just pure speculation.

    Amazing. Then again you have to earn it. No way I'd pay someone 45k to warm the bench, someone who hasn't been in First 2 teams.

    Sad to lose potential but patience is needed to deliver the potential. All the best to him.

    On another note I hope the likes of Will Keane and Ryan Tunniclife do stick around and wait for their chance.

    P.S. Will Morrison even play for West Ham this season?

    Most of the footy sites are reporting it so must be a strong element of truth to this story.

    This. There's nothing about it on the Utd site, thus far it's just the Daily Fail stealing the story from some Italian tab...

    Anyone who is more interested in money than success is more trouble than they're worth unless they are as good as Messi.
