Pogba Alternatives?

[kun]

Sorry if already posted but I spotted this in the Twitter rumours thread..

according to the express, Marco Veratti has been quoted as saying he'd consider playing in a different league in the future..

“England, Spain and a return to Italy are possible options"

Could be a great alternative to Pogba..

Dare I say he'd be better than Pogba.

I'm disappointed we didn't take a look at Kovacic before Real Madrid bought him.
Have also been disappointed we didn't make a serious attempt to get Pjanic.
Think both these players have the technical skills to be a good deep-lying playmaker for us.

But I guess at the moment we are moving the Balky's out, not bringing new ones in.

I also think Pogba is seriously overrated. He has the pace, power and ability to produce brilliant moments in common with Yaya. However, he doesn't have anything like the vision, control and passing creativity that Yaya has. Those are the attributes that people really underrate about Yaya. His brilliance isn't that he is a beast - it's the marriage of beauty and beast that he possesses.

Agree with this wholeheartedly. Let's go for Kroos when Real are bored of him!

Still not giving up hope of us signing someone as we might still be short of quality for this year..is it not even worthy of a cheeky punt for a cheap well scouted player ala zab, kompany etc?

I think we just bought our plan b in Otamendi (with MDM moving to midfield).

So who are you leaving out for either of those two then ? Let's forget DeBruyne & imagine the team which played Chelsea. Who misses out for those two ?

Pmsl plan b ottamendi dont talk silly!

Nainggolan would add a lot of energy to the midfield.

Fernandinho Silva Nainggolan
De Bruyne Aguero Sterling

This would allow us to really press teams like we did against Chelsea and provide solid defensive cover for the back four. Substitute Silva/De Bruyne for Yaya/Navas based on fitness, injuries, opposition, rotation etc.
