Manchester United Rumours Archive November 14 2011

14 Nov 2011 16:42:58
Good to know that Neil Custis of 'The Sun' and Jonathon Northcroft of 'The Times' are not taken in by Pogba & Nani leaving rumours. Both believe the rumours regarding Pogba are nothing more than contract negotiating tactics. Both laughed at the stories regarding Nani saying every time SAF rests Nani by rotating the squad these rumours always seem to resurface "Strange that". The MUTV presenter Mark Sullivan said he has seen and spoken to Pogba at Carrington and he 'KNOWS' he is happy ay the club. The Vidic rumour from
'The Mail' never even got a mention. Funny that.

Sydney!

Good to hear about Pogba, just hoping he gets a fair bit of playing time before the end of the season!

Just because a media source says so, doesn't mean it's true. It could be plucked from thin air, it could be old news recycled, it could be a journalist putting two & two together and coming up with eleven. Unless the player, the player's representatives or either club have been quoted as saying the player is happy , then ignore it mate.

These are not fairytale rumours about players United may or may not be interested in signing jred. These are opinions of three men, two of which are top journalists who were/are not interested in putting the 'Pogba leaving' rumours into their columns for their respected newspapers as they are not convinced that the stories are true. The third chap sees Pogba almost on a daily basis at Carrington. He knows the players personally and speaks to Pogba regularly.

People can make what they want of this, but it's certainly worth posting.

Sydney!

Lets be honest the media always enjoy stirring up interest in players and trying to unsettle them to sell their papers.

They do it to every team at the top. How long has drogba been reportedly looking to move away as that story always surfaces every now and again.

Lets face it if Fergie wants rid of a player he's gone and thats simple as that!

Syd
are you trying to imply that the post's that commented on nani and vidic leaving were not the worth posting the same post's that got 49 & 106 replies
the thing is i dont think anybody really believes what they read in the papers even if it is from award winning never print a lie journalists like neil curtis.
but they do enjoy talking about the stories which is prob why they come on sites like this.

'jred'

True mate, and I do not necessarily believe anything that Neil Custis & Jonathon Northcroft write in the Sun & Times respectively, but I must give them slight credit for not jumping on the Pogba & Nani leaving bandwagon as they could have done. They believe it's contract negotiating tactics and I believe they are too. It will not be long until we are reading that Pogba has signed a new five year deal at the club.

Sydney!

Syd.. mate.. pogba and morrison wil be the power house midfield partnership along with cleverly.. i appriciate ur post.. i was bit worried abt pogba moving away.. he is a gem
rodio17 {Ed004's Note - I would like to sign Rodwell as well, I think he could be a very good player.}

I agree syd and to be honest i would be amazed if nani pogba or vidic were to leave
but stranger things have happened , i dropped the paper when i read stam was going

Ed, you really think Rodwell would be good enough for united? I don't know, he looked like he had buckets of potential a while ago! Then was out injured for a while, came back and never really looked the same player. But more recently he's starting to look better, i still don't think i'd want him. Really do want to see more of Ross Barkley though, can't believe how young he is!

Ozwald {Ed007's Note - I am not convinced by Rodwell, he seems to have hit a ceiling that he can't break through to the next level.}

Maybe Rodwell is just being sucked dry by the rubbish and dour Moyes

Pardoe

Yess that seems to be it, just stopped progressing at steady rate! I think it was due to the injury but a lot of time these things can change a players mentality. Look at all these up and coming youngsters, they have so much confidence and self belief. Seems to be what Rodwell has lacked of late!

Ozwald

Rodwell is limited by the players around him and the coaching he gets. And his injuries have slowed his progress along with the expectation placed on him by the media. He showed he has the right temprement when he made his england debut, the talent is still there he just needs the right coaching to get the best out of him, and i feel he'd get that at United.

Shappy

I dont think Syd is well placed to abuse rumours, after all his list of players who were definately leaving in the summer including Gibson, Berbatov, Kuschack to name but a few are still at the club............ {Ed007's Note - There was a strong chance of Berbatov leaving with several teams interested, I expected him to leave. As for Gibson, he would have been at Sunderland if he lowered his wage demands. Kuszak would have been sold as well if a deal could have been agreed. So what is your point caller? Or do you just come on to make snidey remarks against other regular posters that at least have the decency to leave a name? What did you say during the summer? Even if you were 100% right we will never know Mr Noname Child.}

Ed007 you are a legend,as for sydney he always has something intelligent and imformative to say i agree with 99% of what he has to say and appreciate what he writes,now to take my tongue from your backsides,joeyored {Ed007's Note - It just annoys me when people go through the site and all they do is leave little silly pathetic posts or adding complete garbage to a post slagging regular posters or dissing their information without adding anything to it or any form of reasoning why they disagree. It is childish, pathetic and very annoying. You are all big boys that can look after yourselves on here, but when I see someone basically 'bullying' someone else and constantly trying to slag off/put down one person I need to step in, it is called trolling. Oh and thanks for the praise mate. I was actually wondering if Syd's fan club (the three guys sharing a laptop) were back :-)

Please remember Pogba has only been seen against kids and reserves. I think he's got great potential, but I've seen players with a great under 18 record ,at OT and they just faded into the lower divisions. I'd like to see him play in the first team. I feel Tunicliffe is the most likely young midfielder (under 20) to make it at United. I still believe we need a defensive and an offensive midfielder. Tiote is awesome and Ganso is the best under 23 year old midfielder on the planet. hope SAF snaps them up! If Pogba is good enough he'll still be given his chance, SAF is like that, he loves youthful, enthusiastic and dedicated players.
