If you had written 'Darren Fletcher' or 'James Morrison' or 'Tom Huddlestone' or '*insert name of average Premier League midfielder*' instead of Pogba there, I wouldn't have disagreed.

Don't swallow the media-driven b.s. that he was "finding his feet" and "just you wait until next year".

Pogba was by and large, crap last year.

The one thing I like about the lad is his strength and how he protects the ball, but his distribution and contribution are way, way below the standard I expected from him; and I don't see that changing next year.

Call it fear then!
It's the worst case scenario as I see it is Pogba remembering that he can play the game quite well.

Agreed.
No fucker gets a full season in the PL to 'Find his feet' or 'Bed in,' and Pogba has been a massive disappointment for the Rags.
He always gets the ball snatched off him, is too slow to turn and is a shit finisher, I'll be really surprised if all these faults
are suddenly rectified next season.

As much as I enjoyed his troubles, there's no doubting that Pogba is an exceptionally talented player, if he develops as he can he's going to be world class.

Has PEG ever developed and improved a player, He's got the best out of average players and fashioned winning teams , but has a younger player developed, improved and gone onto great things from his coaching? Can't think of any of the top of my head, Drogba possibly.

Agree but he will have to move to an elite club for that to happen and the scum have a history of that.
 
I think people watched Pogba V England and think he will become great next season. Just a reminder, England's midfield that night was Dier and Chamberline

Not to mention that, that France side were full of energy and off the ball running. I really believe Pogba would be outstanding at City.
But over there, there's very little off the ball running or fluidity to their play.
I think he gets caught on the ball so much due to their total lack of movement.
Poor lamb has probably struggled to adjust to Sunday league football.

There were many attempts by the media to make out he had a decent season – stats that he'd made more passes than any other midfielder etc... without pointing out that majority of those were short passes sideways or backward etc. etc.
Truth is he was bang-average last season, his first touch and control was appalling on occassion... for the most expensive player in the world, that is just unnaccetable.
 
Serious Question; What has pogba actually ever done that to suggest he's a world beater, apart from having a world class media department?

Think one of the main reasons the Rags bought him, wasn't what he was like at football, but rather his online 'presence' – his market-ability, and how the club could use that... just look at who their main model is for their new kits.

I think the same thing, and I think it was a reason he agreed to go.
Very much a "Think of the marketing potential for both of us. You with your dabs and cool hair cuts and us with our 3billion fans around the world!'
 
40 mil for Matic. LOL LOL. I'm dying. Matic and toilet brush will be the most creative central midfield duo in Europe.
