I watch a lot of seria A for my work and I must say my opinion is the same last year when we were in for him.
He will not guarantee you titles or push into the world class bracket or make us challenge barca Bayern and real.
I'd rather have a prime yaya or Fernandinho in the our midfield then him at them moment.
Not saying he won't became world class as can't predict the future but me personally would rather have thaigo or Kroos in lite midfield
Exactly. A point I made in my post before this. If a player is averaging 8 goals, 5.25 a season in a league where they always runaway with it what with Tevez and Pirlo a few years back and Vidal, etc, jury's still out on how he fares here in the more competitive PL. Pogba is a player who is brilliant in flashes like jay jay okocha but at the end of the season, AMs like Silva who scores more and assists more are what matters.
He would improve our midfield right away. But you are also buying the potential. Where were Yaya and Fern at 22 years old? Would you have bought them at 22 years of age with Hindsight of what they are now and have been for the last few years?
The climb down on this board is laughable. When we were in for him there were some doubters granted but it was easily an 80/20 split in favour of buying him. Now it's a total reversal.
I havent seen enought to justify £100m for him. I would rather we grew this sort of player through the ranks

If you look at my posts I've always been against it.
Don't think he will ever win ballon d'or or be a Ronaldo / bale sort of improver he won't improve that much.
I've watched him 50 plus times on Sunday's in seria A and can't have him being world class.
Yes he's better then Fernand Delph and yaya atm doesn't take a genius to work that out.
You sign him this summer is doesn't guarantee you the title is all I'm saying.
We were supposed to buy him for €80million, but opinions I recalled began to change when he was valuated at €100m. Currently he's now at €120m with and extra €25m for his agent. He's a £50m player and for that value we should be in for him Just because of his potential. But at twice the price at £105m excluding agent fees and his wage demands? there are better options elsewhere.
