Sell only if we are getting pogba... Otherwise nope as he has shown in the last few matches.. We look a different team without him
If we bring in the likes of Gundogan, Isco and or Koke, we wouldn't look disjointed or unable to move the ball. We can still sell without getting Pogba. What Pogba brings is added Athletism and a growing goalscoring threat. Funny those are the exact things Yaya has lost in loads the last 2 years. The current Yaya is easily replaceable by a talented ball possesion CM like Koke or Gundogan. Mind you, I'm one of those who think Koke is overrated. Yet I think he'd comfortablly replace 90% of what the current Yaya gives us, plus add some defensive bite.
Now back to my Koke hating :-) I think he is slow, and will not enjoy the pace of players in the Prem. While he's passing tree is dynamic, I think he is a passer and lacks dribbling skills ( of the take on a defender variety). His possesion skills while good enough for the Prem isn't at the level of what we ascribe to diminutive Spanish players. He is not at the Silva, Carzola, or Mata level. More like Dihno level ball control without the makeup speed.
I know most disagree vehemently with that characterization, and opinions vary, but that's what I see when I watch him. Not to mention, he seldom dominate games. I often can't tell who had a better game, Koke, Saul, Gabi or Thiago. They all seem to play about the same way. All hustle, tackling and general good passing. I know he is better than all the others, but it's not like Silva was for us 2 years ago. Where he stood taller than anyone.
There, Koke rant over. Noe let's go get him ;)
