Paul Pogba to Man City? | "I wouldn't go anywhere near him!" - Jamie Carragher in HEATED debate 😳 

Carragher is spot on, 6 years in this league and we are still having pointless discussions over Paul Pogba. Great talent but ultimately hasn't show any prolonged spell of consistency.

Carra is right and Jamie/Micah are wrong. You dont add someone to your team on the off chance that they might play differently to the way they've played for the last 6 years in the league. Theres no need for City to do that.

Carragher is spot on. He’s literally collected a cheque for 6 years. When has he ever had a consistent series of games where he’s been outstanding?

"Pogba might have a point to prove at City" If he walks into arguably the best team in the world after 6 years of average performances at United why would he feel like he has to prove anything?

As a blue I don’t want anything to do with him he doesn’t graft anywhere near as hard as the starting 11 we’ve already got, soon as things go south he disappears! Carragher spot on here

Carragher is spot on and I feel sorry for him having to explain such a simple point to these two muppets. And to the argument that “he will be desperate to prove a point” - will he be desperate to prove that? Or is he in his head the best midfielder in the world and he’s got absolutely nothing to prove to anyone? I’m more leaning towards the latter…

For once I agree with Mr Carragher. Absolutely nailed it. Listening to Jamie Redknapp and Micah is like listening to the Chuckle Brothers. Redknapp "Pogba lives local it would be great for him" and Micah's " He will only have to run 10 yards in this Man City team" says it all. Bring in some proper analysts ffs!

As an LFC fan I'd love to see Pogba at City. He'd be such a big disruption and will drag them down.

"I wouldn't go anywhere near him " -Carragher. As a Manchester United fan, this statement is massively underrated.

This is almost 5 minutes of Redknapp and Richards explaining why they weren’t top Premier League players

Pogba has earned the "stick" he's gotten at Man Utd. It hasn't been unfairly given.

Absolutely madness that Jamie said that pogba would add a lot to city. What does pogba have that debruyne doesn't

Im a United fan and im absolutely buzzing that we're finally seeing the back of him. Even better if he goes to a rival and poisons their dressing room instead of ours. Carragher slams the door shut on this argument when he compared Pogba to Gerrard. Gerrard was in an average Liverpool side for years and was world class every single season, no matter who his manager was.

I dont often say this but i FULLY agree with Carragher here. Its also amazing to me how some people still get excited about Pogba. Like he would be a major signing. He has been awful and part of the pollution at Old Trafford. "Get the best out of yourself" Well said Carra

I'm a United fan and this is one of the rare times when I agree with Jamie. United is rebuilding and doesn't want someone with that toxic attitude bringing the team down, and City have a title winning team where you have to work hard to make the team (and Pogba doesn't want to work for it).

Completely agree with Cara, Jamie’s “hasn’t he shown glimpses” says it all. Those city players are committed, work hard, track back, you see it in nearly every game, that’s why they are the best side in the league. They have to do that consistently, not have glimpses, they are work horses that also have technical ability, athleticism, good football brains. Pogba, just isn’t that type of player.

Saying he adds a lot to the team just shows how clueless some of these pundits truly are.

Well said Carragher, as a United fan my only regret about Pogba leaving is that we didn’t cash in while he had a decent amount of his contract remaining. Good riddance

Carra is spot on about it. And also shows why having football pundits who know their football is important. Waiting for 6 years for someone to prove their potential, there are lots of players like that, potential means nothing if you don't have the internal motivation to convert it.

He wouldn’t get anywhere near City’s team. He’d be a backwards step for them. What quality does he have? Since he came back the only stand out performance I can think of was the brace against City four years ago. He’s 29. He should be at the peak of his powers but all I see is a player on the decline. Fergie got rid of him for a reason, we should have never taken him back.

“It’s not about working hard” sums up Micah’s career lol straight out the horses mouth 🤣

I am 100% with Jamie Carragher on this and find it incredible that the other two can't see he is spot on. Pogba is nothing like a the type of player Pep wants in his teams. I cannot imagine there are many Man City fans who would want him.

As a Liverpool fan, you'd think Jamie would want City to sign him

Six years in the prem, he's been under Jose, Ole and Ralf I really can't see him changing so much he'd get in the City team. And the 'he plays well for France' argument is getting old, he plays far more club football and for me this is a more accurate depiction of him.

As a Man Utd fan, I'm so so much impressed by Carragher's wisdom. He knows so much not just about his team but others. Pogba cannot play competitive football in the premier league, regardless of Pep or Klopp. He could move to a league where there's less competition and more tolerance for his lackadaisical attitude towards football.

Pogba is the most uncity/unguardiola like player I can think of. Pep’s philosophy is based around possession retention, players who are quick on the ball who receive a pass, take one or two touches and then release. Pogba is the opposite of that type of player. He gets the ball, takes abour 5 touches, tries to beat other players on the edge of his own box and loses it. He slows the game down far too much. Pogba isn’t suited to the premier league full stop, never mind city.

People seem to think City would be signing him and putting him straight into the starting 11…let’s face it, if it’s a free transfer then it can only make tactical sense more than anything else, he would be a backup player at best but it means he can’t hurt you from the opposing side with some random special moments as we’ve seen over the years.

When they said “Pogba has something to prove.” He had 6 years at United to prove he’s worth anything. I believe he’s got quality, but Pogba needs to agree to a pay cut from wherever he goes next before he can prove he’s worthy of more.

As a United fan I would love to see him in City. Believe me I have watched him for 6 years and he will be the one who will play spoil sport in the dressing room, not by his antics on field but mentally influencing the team to be ok when they loose the game. When I look at City now I look at a team who is determined to win every single battle, bring in Pogba and he will soften that feeling. I can also tell you that he will have a great first season because of the WC, these pundits will praise him as one of the best players in the World and how Man United didn’t use him correctly. The actual circus will start the season after.

Carragher is spot on. I wish he'd left years ago and glad we will finally see the back of him even if he does join City. Ever since Raiola's comments which Pogba never commented on I've wanted him out. I don't care about his potential to have great performances but his potential to cause problems.

If City need a player to strut around the centre circle, arms up in the air instructing his teammates where to go and what to do Pogba is THE MAN. That will be my abiding memory of him as a Man. Utd player. I agree with Jamie Carragher Free transfer or not, his high salary makes him a risk.

Carragher was spot with the Gerrard comparison. For a decent to middling team Gerrard was consistently one of the best players in the league.

Man City doesn't need Paul Pogba...he would be sitting on the bench or even worse....

Carraghers right. If we're still asking the question after 6 years, that itself answers it.

The fact he's been there so long invalidates all their points. Jamie is right, in all that time he hasn't been at the level you would expect of someone who would play for City, that isn't going to change now.

I have to say I agree with Carragher - he's a 'Premium Economy' Balotelli (i.e. slightly better), you don't win leagues with people like that because he doesn't put a shift in when things are going against you. Pogba's talent is undeniable, but grit is undervalued and players like him don't have it, they're more interested in stuff off the field...

As a Man Utd fan, I’d love nothing more than a Man City move for Pogba,…he would be doomed in a Guardiola squad with his work ethic…he has the technical ability that Pep demands but not the discipline and tactical intelligence that Guardiola demands…..

I'm with Carragher You can have him As a United fan I'm excited at the prospect of Pogba sabotaging them instead of us

Carragher: 'I am, once again, IN NO WAY, saying he has not got talent. No one is disputing that he has got talent. He has talent. I'm merely questioning his effort.' Redknapp: 'So, you're saying he's not talented?'

Pogba : "I've fooled some of the people all of the time"

Micah is deluded, he wouldn't fit in this City team. They work so hard to get the ball back. Already Grealish is struggling in that aspect even though he has intent. Talk about Pogba 's intent, it's non existent

I was a young man watching Pogba at Juventus, absolutely buzzing hearing of him signing for United. I am now an older man sick to death of hearing his name being stirred around in the same way every single time. I’ll be happy to see the back of him. If he goes on to do well for another PL club then good luck to him but he’s made a fool out of United and made a fool out of every United fan. Doesn’t give a monkeys about the fans at all, if he did then he would’ve changed his attitude long ago. If Pogba is given a new contract at United then I think the club has given up on its morals.

I agree with Carra ! A great manager may be able to get a bit extra out of a great player , but 100% commitment should be a given . If he cant give that from his own desire - he doesn`t deserve a place in a top team like City . Weve seen it at Utd ,this year , what having players with poor attitudes can do to the whole team . Even as a free transfer not worth the risk for City .

When someone shows you who they are, believe them. Pogba's been showing you who he is for the past few years. Top sides aren't bringing people in and hoping they can pull off a big transformation job with the new player. Carragher's got it right and the other two have got it exactly backwards: the player earns the right to play for a top side with their body of work. The job of the manager should be to make it easier for the player to do things they've shown a desire and ability to do; NOT TO GET THEM TO DO THINGS THEY'VE SHOWN NO DESIRE OR ABILITY TO DO.

"It's not about working hard, come on." And there's Micah Richards's career explained for you

Even for France though he doesn't work hard enough for Pep. The reason he looks good enough for France was because of the workrate of players like Matuidi and Kante

As a Liverpool fan I would love to see him at Man City. Hopefully his work shy mentality can rub off on the rest of the squad. He can get them down the barbers for a silly hair cut and get them more worried about how many instagram followers they've got rather than their on pitch performances like him.

I wouldn’t take him based on the attitude, as an arsenal fan when arteta got rid of aubameyang everyone said it was a bad decision but the team has grown in confidence and has started playing better as a team with camaraderie, I think Pogba’s attitude towards how he plays and trains is reason enough not to sign him

As a United fan I’m with Jamie here, they can have him. He has quality, but when you have his attitude that simply isn’t enough. Pep and Co will find out soon enough if they take him that he simply isn’t a team player that works enough

Pogba’s been part of the problem at united for the past 6 years with his inconsistent performances.

It's not just about how he would perform at city. It's probably more important what impact he has on the other players there.

It< makes sense, BTC and crypto is off helping to regulate, rather than pretend it won't ever happen. The big institutions getting in is the catalyst that will launch us into the stratosphere. Most people don't like change but after the change is made they grow used to it and it becomes a non issue usually because their fears never materialize. The projects that initiated the process of regulation have not been ruined, they got involved in setting guidelines and helping the regulators understand the crypto space. I’d get involved more knowing that I have made over 16` btc from day-trade with Gabriel Alberto William Crypto in few weeks.

Carragher simplified the whole argument: "Does he work hard enough?" (For a title winning PREMIER LEAGUE side, City). .. Answer is no.

I’m a united fan but I’m with Jamie 1000%, city can have him do us a favour

It's crazy that when some people talk about Pogba's quality they go back to what he was like at Juventus 6 years ago

I'd be interested to see how it works out.

As a Man United fan, I highly encourage you to sign him and play him in your starting 11 .... If you want Liverpool to win the league next year lol

I'm a man utd fan for life.jamie carragher was spot on.i loved his honesty.

Agree whole heartedly with Jamie. Pogba is brilliant… when he wants to be. He’d be a horrendous fit at City where Pep is demanding and he rotates the team like crazy. He’d be mad after five games

Imo City defenders work way too much as they're most of time are roaming in opponent half and if there is one mistake they have to run back asap with enormous pace and reading game So Pogba also have to work hard and play defensive aswell.(which he didn't do under Jose as a result Jose & Pogba had fight) Pogba play offensive game rather than defensive/overall game pep want good player to play overall game(press win ball and than join attack) Pogba play better in France because he know he got player who can cover for him if he go up and join attack. Pogba is a technical player but he have to prove that he is a overall player too or most of time he would have to come of the bench or be a secondary starter

Jamie spot on as usual. Manager shouldn't matter as to put or not put effort. 6 years in the league and never really impressed, has all the talent in the world but is a luxury player that won't work as much as you need to work within a team

Carragher is spot on. Micah and Jamie have gone out of their minds.

Real didnt want him why should we want him clubs rejected him for a reason consistency is everything in football pep want consistent players not cry to the media players

Skill will never be more important than teamwork, for me. Pogba can be great (if you think he is), but if he's not willing to work as a part of the team, then what is the point to have someone who can dribble a lot and then not plays for the team. This is not futsal, this is football. You have to play with the rest of the team. You lose the ball, you immediately go back and do the best to get it back, not staying in the ground, jogging and then feeling sorry. He's done that for years now. Many of the opposite side teams have scored goals against Man Utd for his mistakes. For me, that's not a United player. That's just someone trying to make a name for himself until a better option comes along. Just look at how much Juan Mata have done in this last couple of games, compared to Pogba. Yes, we've lost with Juan, but we've lost much more with Pogba. He can be world champion with France, but that's a whole other team and circumstance than playing for United weekend in and out. If he wants to leave, be my guest. At least, that's what I think. And finally, if he goes to Man City, that will tell you everything you need to know about what he's looking for right there.

Carra's calling this one right for me. If I was a City fan I'd be really unhappy with the very idea of Pogba joining a fantastic squad that just doesn't need his kind of influence about the place.

Crazy arguments from Redknapp and Richards there "you're saying he can't or he won't" 100% he can run all day the fact that he doesn't is why City shouldn't touch him.

Always “doesn’t work hard enough” look at his distance covered the guy covers a lot of ground people don’t notice because he can be nonchalant on the pitch

Totally agree with carragher. I think he is well overhyped and I personally can’t see who loses their spot in this city team to fit him in. City are an unbelievable and well balanced team, I think pogba would mess up that balance. I doubt the players would want him

Carragher is absolutely spot on.

Carra never misses

I've never agreed more with Jamie as I do right now. Spot on.

I think Jamie made a fair argument at the end for what I thought at the start. My view before the video was that pogba is a waste of time for city but actually got his point of view by the end

If Pogba was good enough for City we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

why would anybody argue with someone saying they dont want pogba in their team?

any team that would take him on must be able to carry him. and be prepared for frustration because that's all he will bring to a team.

the only way to drag man city down is to give them pogba on a free lol

Jamie is spot on.I can't think of one outstanding moment from Pogba in all those seasons.Lazy player and not suited to the fast pace of the Premiership

He’s been here for 6 years done nothing and shown nothing worthy of a top team. The worse argument they use and everyone else uses is that he plays well for france 🤦‍♂️ Harry Maguire plays well for England but in the league he’s been shocking so that’s a null point…..

I feel like in the modern game you have to run your socks off (look at Sergio aguero 1st year under pep vs the year before) but midfielders especially. Also there’s almost no excuse to not work hard at this level. You can do it for the fans, the manager, the club or the paycheck, but the point is you need to work hard.

would love to hear Roy keane's view.

I am a United supporter and I 100% agree with Cara on this. What type of character doesn't have enough motivation to play hard when their children are watching? Why should he need a manager to get the best out of him? Wrong personality, mentality and character for a Pep team. Or any top club imo. 5 or 6 years with different managers (incl. A world class trophy winning manager) and still the same nonsense. He plays when he wants to and that is not top a player imo. Pep would Yaya Toure him within months. Gone by the January window lol.

I agree with Carra on Pogba for sure, but there will be no losers if he goes to City, it doesnt matter if he does well at City or not, and if United sell him they can replace him with someone more consistent. Win-win

I dont think that Jamie Redknapp has ever watched France play. They have a system that is designed to get the best out of him. If Man City did that then that takes away from De Bruyne (who is a better player) and it makes them a poorer team. His scoring record for France is actually poor as well, 11 goals in 91 games for an attacking midfielder. Remember that a lot of those games are against the likes of Moldova, Estonia, Faroes etc.

Redknapp saying "Hasn't he shown glimpses?" After 6 years in the league being hyped as one of the most talented midfielders, you'd hope he would have done significantly more than shown glimpses. Absolutely awful player for City to sign, he does nothing better than everyone city already have in that team, and free transfer would just mean more wages or signing bonus

As a liverpool fan, i would love to see Pogba in City. With Haaland coming in, the only way City can get weaker is by self destructing themselves by signing someone like Pogba. If Pogba playing is not an issue, then Pogba not playing would cause an issue because of his antics. Lets pray Pogba goes to Man City 😉. BTW micha and redknapp speaks rubbish.

totally agree with Mr Carra for his pov. Put tactics aside, Football is about Passion and commitment and hard work on the pitch, and it starts from within.

Quite simply, pog isnt good enough for city. He needs to go somewhere that is more his level, for instance something like LA Galaxy in the 'US Major league soccer'

Take it from a lifelong United fan. He is abysmal.

He seems more interested in his social media presence these days than actually performing well on the pitch. He played well in Italy because the game wasn't played at as high a tempo and he had more time on the ball. I can't see him fitting into the pressing style Man City play.

They said the same about aguero when pep came. That didn't work out too bad.

If and that’s a rather big if, Pogba puts his head down, works week in week out and shows the leadership he does at France he can still win that Ballon D’or he was meant to receive in terms of his talent

“He’s done well for France” Yeah with N’golo Kante next to him covering the entire pitch on the heat map

What is Micah Richards smoking saying "he would have pogba at city in a heartbeat". He's on hundreds of thousands of pounds a week at united and he's playing like I would hungover on a Sunday morning after a free bar the night before!

He does well for France because he only plays for up to four weeks MAX at a time. He does the same thing when a new manager comes in. Plays well for four weeks.

I can't believe Pep is even considering this. Either way, for United fans it'll be a relief when he walks out the door. The man is a social media influencer and hairstyle model plagued by a football career. In the nearly 6 years he's been at the club he's had a handful of good 45-minute performances. That is simply not worth the constant speculation, the circus that follows him around, and having to listen to his negative comments about the club every time there's an international break. Man United's form during his second spell at the club might not have lived up to his expectations, but he doesn't want to take any accountability for that either. He wilts under adversity, and needs the team around him to elevate him to the levels we know he has, not the other way around. That's why he performs better for France - N'Golo Kante does all Pogba's running for him. He is a textbook luxury player, and a match made in heaven with PSG. He'll be able to stroll around the pitch with other Galactico-rejects, winning a one-horse race year after year, with no demands being made of him, fizzing beautiful diagonal balls into Messi or Mbappe, and looking good in clips on RU-vid and Instagram.

Pogba going to Man City will be a great move for Liverpool

Pogba has had enough time to prove many points over the past 6 years. He has the ability but only when he can be bothered.

it was good to see genuine disagreement rather than opposition just for the sake of it

Jamie Redknapp and Micah Richards overhyping a player that's proven over multiple years to be overrated. What's new? Carra is completely correct and the only one talking logicallly here and not just reading a headlines hype train.

Where's Souness??? We needed him for this!
