Pogba Alternatives?

Denayer would be a better option at DM than Kompany in my opinion. And personally i don't see the hype for Barkley at the likely stupid quote we'd be given for him
 
I'd gladly pick up Moutinho for about £20m and have him take Manu Garcia under his wing with an eye towards him being his long term replacement.

I too think he has all the necessary for that job. He is a miles better footballer than Vinny, quicker & quicker into the tackle, but at the moment lacks Vinny's presence in the penalty area when playing cb. I think he would quickly piss it at def mid or fullback.

I'm not convinced he will finish up at cb in years to come.
 
Denayer should remain a cb. Talk of him being moved into cdm is silly. Watched him closely last season whilst on loan at Celtic scoring 6 goals and winning countless personal awards based on his performances as a cb.

Playing as a cb in the Scottish league is not easy it's a very physical league. He will be our next top quality cb. He has shown in the last 12 months he has the potential to be as good as vinny.

as NK says he's a (or at least has so far demonstrated) he's got a bettee footballing brain than Kompany able to both see and pull off good passes at varied ranges, he's also faster and would be able to cover ground more effectively than Kompany. I could easily easily see Denayer move forward into midfield as his career progresses

Denis Praet is supposedly decent as well at Anderlecht. I think Wijnaldum (sp) would have been a great signing for us to be honest. 15 goals from centre midfield last season for PSV. Would have been a great option and is a great signing for Newcastle.

We do need someone really with Delph and Fernandinho missing the first game (probably).

Rather than looking at an attacking player like Pogba, it might be better to utilise Toure further upfield. He is a more effective attacker than Pogba. So in that case we would need a player who sits deeper, but also has the technical ability to play in our system. This is where Garcia and Fernando have fallen short really. Not awful on the ball, but nowhere near as good as similarly positioned players at Europe's very best.

Jordie Classie would have been a good call too. But he is at Southampton now. Perhaps if he pans out we could go for him in 2 years.
