Pogba Alternatives?

[George Hannah]

I'd go for kovacic, seems a decent player who could fulfil a box to box role, has bags of potential aswell

and he started the Pogba thread

Keep our powder dry, and buy who we need when they become available.

Far too sensible for this place. We must buy anybody, NOW as anybody is always better, than whoever we already have.

Mine would be veratti. he's worth just as much as Pogba.

Cracking player. For some reason isn't hyped up like Pogba but so far I reckon he's just as good. No way will Paris sell him!

A destroyer of a midfielder, a Thiago Motta or Krychowiak

A bit left field but how about bringing in Mix Diskeraud for a few months? Or Mooy from MelCity ... sorry I know you hate that ;-)

Why does everyone want a "destroyer"? Barca and Bayern don't, they win the ball back by hard work and pressing as a team. All we need is for the players we have to step up and embrace the pressing game, which with people like Delph and Fernandinho we should be able to do. I have no idea how we will line up this season but would expect Yaya to be more deep lying playmaker and the aforementioned 2 or KDB if he arrives as a 3 with Sterling Kun and David further forward. This would work if they step up the off the ball work. I would rather this approach than having a limited destroyed in the team

The alternative is Fernando. Like for like ;)

Victor Wanyama looked a solid player last year. Strong powerful midfielder with a good engine. Good tackler good technicles. Of course he is Kenyan so we would miss him for acon every couple of years. But non the less decent player.

Probably would only miss him for qualification, Kenya don't have a great national team.

Main problem with Wanyama is i think Liverpool have dibs...

Yeah said this a couple of times myself, he's a much better and younger version of fernando. Whenever i see him play he always plays the role really well, with assured composure.
