£300k a week is appalling. How can anyone survive on that? #fightpovertyfreepogba
Weirdly, if he's on £300k and is only offered a £10k pay rise to stay then I can understand why a football would be unhappy with that because that's the market the game has created. Should he go elsewhere, I expect he'll end up on more on account of him leaving on a free.
I also think that he's been a lightning rod for United's continued ineptitude, when they never moved to properly give him the platform he needs. Pogba was best at Juve with Pirlo in behind him, so he had an older head to keep him in check. United needed something similar and he ended up in a rotating midfield of bit part players in which he had no defined position.
Of course, if he's truly "world class" he should be able to make the most of it but United are a shambles and have been for years. Pogba wasn't the cause, and him leaving isn't the solution.

He could just be concerned about the cost of living crisis, £10k is only a 3.3 % in real terms it's a pay cut
Worst transfer in PL history?
Let him go to Juve on a free
Paid 80 million and 300k a week to get him back
Left of a free after 5 years of average.

Absolutely, realistically he would probably expect a pay RISE so something like 5% on top of inflation so approx 16% pay rise if inflation as expected peaks at around 11% so more like £350k per week. He's probably miffed at seeing the likes of Wimbledon being able to increase their prize money by over 10% to protect the tennis stars from the inflationary increases and the US Open golf has increased prize money by as whopping 40% this year to reward the players for their work and success.

let us not forget he will be taxed 45% on that, unless of course he banks in Jersey, Guernsey or similar.
I would be distraught to £100k plus a week to this Tory government
I don't know... Lukaku for Chelsea hasn't been great:
Signed for £10m;
Sent on loan for 2 seasons where he scored goals;
Sold to Everton for £28m where he scored 1 in 2;
Bought him back from Inter 4 years (and 130 goals) later for £100m;
Now loaning back to Inter because he's not actually been any good for them.
That's about £85m spent on a player that's scored 8 goals for them over two stints. At least Pogba had flashes of class in a United shirt in those 5 years, Lukaku has never looked like he was going to succeed at Chelsea.
Good shout - I think chelsea not losing him on a free first time is a positive and they will get a fee this summer, those loan stints would have at least covered his wages, May have even got a fee as well.
Still Pogba for me I think.

Listen comrade, he'd have to pay the same REGARDLESS of which party is ****ing up the country
You might be, but we'd all thank you for it as we need the money - and think you should pay it. (The same as we do). And if some entrepreneur (or even a corporation like Google) boasted that they didn't like the Tories and that they'd managed to avoid paying UK tax, I'm pretty sure you won't be saying 'Good on them!'

i just fail to see why these big clubs keep coming in and throwing huge bucks at this bloke when he clearly has the heart of a gerbil.

I am no communist and vote neither left or right, might comment was flippant and an expression as to the wastefulness of Boris and his cronies currently.

The sooner this binner pisses off to Italy the better.
Year after year after year there is transfer speculation about Pogba. It is SO boring. He was brought it to be the new Bryan Robson / Roy Keane talismanic midfielder but has flopped badly.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.

There was a time when players wage rates were discussed 'after tax', either way, these players pay a lot of tax.

Yeah can't imagine Roy Keane reacting badly when faced with a badly run team and poor management.
And Robson was thoroughly professional throughout his playing and management career

i think he has done an outstanding job at United and will be sad to see him depart...

Where he banks has no impact whatsoever on the UK income tax on his UK work (i.e. the majority of his income from MU).
Potentially it shields his non-UK income from UK income tax*, but it will still be taxable in the country where the work was performed.
* because of the nonsensical way the remittance basis of taxation works.
