Paul #Pogba

Sissoko?

What is his best position? I honestly couldn't tell you.

He's a very good footballer, and I think he's done more than OK considering, the trouble is when a team pays 89m for you all of a sudden everyone expects miracles, but like any player , he needs to be played in the right way and Mourinho has fucked about this season tactically - often playing him in a CM2 with a much more functional role with less freedom, and you aren't going to see the best of his that way. Deschamps did exactly the same in the Euro's, also ignoring Kante, and it cost France.

Not impressive this year. But players need time to settle. I think Utd overpaid but let's see this time next season.

Pogba on the cover of Four Four Two with the strapline:

Play like Scholes. Sell like Beckham. Rule like Cantona.

1. LOL. 2. Err maybe I guess Beckham never dabbed with Stormzy? 3. LOL

What is his best position? I honestly couldn't tell you.

Is the answer on the bench?

So far he has been a raging success and lived up to the price tag

Its true that sort of money is usually reserved for top flair players but he was signed for Man Utd, who have the biggest sponsorship deals in the world.

It hasnt worked out for him on the pitch but he has been a great success off it.

Man Utd have found a replacement for Wayne Rooney and it has allowed him to be dropped.

Before this season they had Rooney and co(like smalling) doing the promotional stuff now they have Pogba and Ibra doing it. If Man Utd dropped Rooney and didnt have big name, the sponsors would be wondering why they are paying the highest fees?

Pogba may of not made United current on the pitch, he has made them current on spreadsheet

Now this may depress some people but Manchester United the brand, a club who have just posted a record revenue and become the most valuable club in the world despite being shite for a couple of seasons now

Hes not had a bad season, he just hasnt been very good

People might be shocked to learn some of his stats
Most succesful passes by a midfielder in the PL (1726)
Most key passes by a CM or DM in the PL (51)
Most take ons by a CM
2nd most Duels won by a midfielder (only Zaha ahead)

Of course these are stats but imo Herrera has been Uniteds best midfielder

No he left as he felt SAF didnt give him a chance and were more happy to get a player to come out of retirement a shot

This led to him demanding a ridiculous wage

It wasn't ridiculous, it was £20k a week. They gave januzai £60k a week the following season after 3 good games!

The billboards at OT yesterday with the #Pogba text were very, very weird.

not really, he was mostly bought for marketing purposes

 

[thelak]

Still cant get over buying back a player you let go for free for £89m and he isnt even that good

 

[fortworthspur]

not the first player Mourinho has screwed up.
