Raiola is probably a cunt although none of us here have actually met him, its just all hearsay we hear from the media and one side of the story.
I do however think there is a element of truth in what he says though. Look at the so called top players we have brought and how they turned out.
Kagawa, di maria, falcao, depay, sanchez, blind, berbatov, nani, Anderson. Even the likes of Jones smalling and shaw were brought with huge reputations of being the next big thing.
No matter what anyone says about pogba he is a world class player and someone who we should have built our team around. His performances bar one or two are not a reflection of his true talents. Is that the player or the clubs fault for not nurturing that talent and setting up a team to get the most of?
You can argue its the player because that’s the easy option but then look at the long list of the so called top players who have turned out to be shit soon as they come to the club.
Question look at firminho salah and mane. If we brought them do you really think we would be seeing the same level of performance from them at united? For some reason i highly doubt we would.
Is it a surprise promising young players would rather stay away and go to other clubs? Unfortunately this is our reputation now throughout the world which will make it doubly difficult to attract the right type of player in order for us to get back to where we belong
The club needs a shakeup starting from the top and that includes negating the influence of the likes of SAF and Bobby Charlton. We need to move forward but unfortunately will not happen with the current set up at the top
