Better call him and find out :wink:
Someone needs to... I doubt Tuchel will be doing so again in a hurry.
He wouldn’t get a game for the University of American Samoa at the moment.

Raheem Sterling: £300k a week (one of the top 10 PL earners) for running round a football pitch like a headless chicken a good 99% of the time.

Tabloids saying Man United are offering Pogba 500k a week to stay.

Not so much theft as blackmailing them so they can get a bigger fee (ignore the fact nobody will pay it if they also have to paybhim 500k a week!)

Aren’t they best off letting him go for free rather than being stuck with the same situation for another few years?

(Assuming the story is true.....)

Is it accountants trying to avoid a write off of his asset value (not seeing the bigger picture) or do they really think he is a player they want to keep around?

Hell, if it came to it, not just let him go free, pay someone to take him.

That's a tad harsh?

I reckon that he stands still for a good 5-10 mins a game so I'd go with 90% 😎
