Paul Pogba

[i8rags]

Biggest game of his career and went missing, we all know he's better than last night but I'd be concerned he couldn't find himself on his biggest stage to date.

Bale wasn't worth £85m, but he's still twice the player Pogba is.

It's nothing to do with the rags getting him and everything to do with the fact he's not worth the asking price, the ridiculous agent fees and the wage structure reset.

Right now, Pogba is at most a £60m player. Lots of potential, flashes of brilliance, goes missing in big games, young, greedy. His performance in the Euros was uncharacteristically dire, but still closer to his norm than suggesting he's in the company of Messi etc. There's a reason United are seen as having a clear run for him.

All these things hold true even if he doesn't end up with the rags.

Just because he was shite at the euros doesn't mean he goes missing in the big games.

Plus United are in the clear run because no one thinks he's worth 100 mil and even though I'm a fan of his I don't think he's worth that much either

He's a Balotelli playing midfield.

Pretty much how I see him at the moment.

He went missing in the biggest game of his career last night. The second biggest game of his career, the Champions League final 2015, he not only went missing he missed a sitter as his side were outclassed by a team with players actually worth £100million.

I agree with the latter sentence though. He is a quality player, perhaps British transfer record money, but the point is he's not worth even close to £100million and when even Real Madrid, a team with a philosophy of signing big name/overpriced players (who won't have another transfer window for three years,) balk at the cost, you know it's obscene money.

Considering Real have supposedly pulled out of the race to sign him, I find it odd that bookies are still offering just over evens that he signs for them this summer.

This could be one of those examples where hardball gets the man for a much more reasonable price. Though I'm betting on him staying at Juve now. Get some more wins under his belt so the price can go back up.

 

[Neville Kneville]

Pogba did nothing wrong at all imo.

Very selfless job passing to athletes who ran about but no footballers to work with, worked his balls off tracking back to slow down the opposition. Grew increasingly frustrated at the total lack of movement ahead of him.

Why he was left there watching a bunch of headless chickens run head first into Pepe, I've no idea. Perhaps he is the only player the manager trusts to not lose the ball.

 

[manimanc]

Thats a bold statement.

Its a silly statement as the lurking rags on here will have just rushed for the kleenex....
