Mate, its a fucking trial. We're not obligating ourselves to pay him 300k a week for 5 seasons.
Don't care how long its been. If he's still got it, he's still got it. No harm in giving the lad a chance. Have you seen a minute of City football this season? Our midfield is fools gold.
Sure, he's 31, but he doesn't have nearly as many miles in his legs as others his age. Maybe this break could have aided his injury issues. This is obviously a hypothetical but no need to be so dismissive.
Pogba was different gravy. Everybody looks shit and lacks effort playing for the Manchester Red's... but Pogba was world class.
