Paul Pogba

Remember when Woodward said " We can do things that other clubs can only dream about"

You carry on Ed you gormless twat.

I dont buy this he was being used wrongly. Bad judgments in passes and play in DM is bad judgment in passes and play anywhere. I dont think anyone cared about his contributions defensive wise. Its the fundamentals that were suspect in several of his games. Again, it's not that he isn't a talented player, but at £105m we would expect a CM who has more in his game than being one dimensional.

Let me be clear. I didn't and still don't want Pogba and I like what we're trying to do in the transfer market by buying multiple players instead of one big name. I don't think that he'd fit into Pep's system. At Bayern he had Thiago, Alonso and Vidal for the most part in the midfield. He isn't a Vidal with high energy or a Alonso who can ping passes like a deep lying play maker. So basically he may only do Thiago's job. The way I see it we already have guys similar to Thiago in Silva and Nasri. Gungogan can also play there.

I just think Dechumps didn't do him any favors and Maureen might do the same. If he went to Real he'd work out better because he'd have Modric and Casamerio playing with him in CM. Of course he doesn't justify his huge price tag. That's doesn't mean he's not talented.

You can't criticise Pogba for that performance. He and Matuidi did the job they were asked to do. Maybe that was overkill against a defensive team

lol even danny murphy said. Nah not 100 million for me.

Let's face it, in the press... IF he signs for the Rags, they'll make out he's worth every penny... IF we signed him it'd be all about the disgusting transfer fee etc. etc.

Yes we can agree on that last bit. He's a talented player, but no where near the £100m tag. For that price, people expect a different level of player
. I wont mind us in for him at £50m, but more than twice that is money better spent elsewhere.

Played out of position... it's not that he had to play as a defender. 100Mil for a player that can play one position and one role - daylight robbery.

 

[City_Sean]

He's evidently talented, but the setup tonight crippled him. He's a potential star but he's worth half or even less of the money United are prepared to pay.

Didn't know too much about him before the tournament started but Renato Sanches looks the real deal. He has far more in his locker.

If he signs for the rags adidas will be happy kit suppliers to juventus but the premier league has a bigger audience marketing joy for them

Yes exactly. To me maybe for £40m to £50m.

For me a 100 million pound player is a Messi type....scares you to death with his dribbling skills, scores goals by the dozen and creates even more chances for your team mates....this is not a description of Pogba by a long way.

His proposed transfer fee is utterly ridiculous....yes, he is a very good and strong midfield player but, as someone said earlier, he is maybe worth 40 million.
