Fascinating insight into how the Rags 'lured' Carlton in The Times the other day, whole premise was about them selling him the idea of his image & how signing for the 'biggest' club in the world would give him the best media exposure. Looks like his ego about his self image overtook his ambition as a footballer, which is probably why he is so crap, his attitude aptitude in relation to success is not about winning trophies/matches but about how many clicks he can get &'how many shirts he can sell.Regarding Pogba, I just get the impression that he always wanted to go to Madrid however due to his time spent with the rags in the past he wasn't opposed to going there as a fall back option.
Given that they then paid a world record fee and big wages even though it was a one horse race just went to feed his ego.
He looks like a player who believes he is doing the club a favour just by being there, they don't seem to have any idea how to play him to get the best from him. Isaid last night that they could have put Fernando or Delph in that Rag midfield instead of Pogba and would have seen little difference.
Has he actually made a real game changing impact for them yet?
