Paul Pogba

For me the biggest risk is his influence on our younger players off the pitch.

On the pitch, with our players and with Pep as coach, I have no doubt he'll be a success, but he has a big personality with a lot of influence and next season we'll have some of the world's best young players in Foden, Haaland and Palmer.

As long as he doesn't negatively influence these guys the pitch then I'm ok with it.
 
I have to say originally I wasn't keen on the idea at all due to the ego and flamboyance of the man coming into city's dressing room.
But pogba coming into this team as a fernandinho replacement and adding competition to the no.6 and 8 positions would be massive.
The truth is that club in Salford is rotting away and the stock of any player who moves there has only gone one way since Fergie left.
We've all seen pogba turn games around whether it be for united or france, we all know the lad has genuine talent. If you say otherwise you're wearing tinted glasses or you just haven't played football.
He's without a doubt technically good enough and coming into the latter stage of his career and after many trophyless seasons. He must be ready to shut up, listen and get his head down for trophies.

Ah, cool. Do we get that version of him or the near 30 year old who falls asleep defensively, tries wonder passes with zero success or the one that fakes injury when things are really tough?

Not sure, but if he gave that kind of speech in our dressing room, I’m not sure it’d have as much of an impact.

Maybe to Laporte.

Istanbul 2023. Mane has just been yellow carded for pulling a rubber mallet out his sock and assaulting KdB who sadly can't continue. 93rd minute. Clock is ticking. Pogba replaces Kev. From the free kick on the edge of the box Foden hits the wall. Walker picks it up just close to the half way line and sprays it to Grealish on the other side. He turns inside and runs at VvD who is back tracking into the box. Jack feints one way then the other before megging VvD and he is through on goal. His shot hits Alison in the face but drops for Foden who shoots but somehow Milner is back on the line and gets a foot on it. the ball is loose in the box. Pogba is first to it. Left foot shot into the roof of the net.

The bench goes wild. Carson is swinging Pep around his head like Aguero was his shirt in 9320. Klopps teeth fall out. Me and David Silva are doing the poznan. Kompany is leading the singing in the City end. Andy Morrison is in tears being hugged by Paul Dickov and Balotelli is handing out blue flares. Nedum dj's the after party and 2 days later when the last cigar has been smoked Khaldoon puts on his shades and quietly walks back to his office. He takes some mcfc letter headed paper, an envelope, a stamp and blue biro and writes

"Dear Sir Alex

Please find enclosed jelly and ice cream. The bouncy castle is being delivered by Hermes so God knows when you'll get it. Remember to not get to close to any candles you whiskey soaked, red nosed, wrinkly piece of crap.

Insallah

Khal MFing Doon"

For what it's worth, I think a motivated Pogba under the influence of Pep would be a completely different player to the one at the Rags.

Which player in the starting Eleven will he replace ?

Rodri, Bernardo or KDB ?
