Toony 95 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Yes he is, but with that price tag he's on a hiding to nothing. I do expect him to improve next season, but at times this season he's looked uninterested. I don't know if he's feeling the pressure of the price tag or not, he is a top player though but I wouldn't put him in the world class bracket his price tag certainly suggests.

Cicero 5,265 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Still remember when people were trying to defend Torres when he came here. "He's not getting enough service!" "The System doesn't suit him!" Except when the ball did come at his feet...he missed open nets.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but remember, it's the system that has made Pogba miss chance after chance, misplace passes, lazy and lightweight! If only he had marchisio and pirlo to make him look decent!

Spike 5,100 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Who gives a shit how many passes he has made? Without context they could be all passed back to the goalkeeper and he could have a passing success percentage of 5%. What did the take-ons accomplish? A missed shot on goal? Again what is he success percentage? 'Chances created' is just a fancy term for 'failed assist'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt Leon Britton from Swansea have the best pass rate in the whole of Europe a few years ago, he didnt cost 90 odd million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe the FA aren't holding off all Man Utd games until Pogba learns to deal with opponents that close down. So unfair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm quite surprised they didn't go in for him given his marketability. Obviously we will still here the same rubbish about how the system doesn't suit him, Modric isn't good enough to get the best out of him, and the Spanish Football Authorities aren't working with him because he has to play Messi, Neymar and Suarez twice a season but it would have made sense from a merchandise perspective.

They did go for him mate. They were in the push for quite some time and there was a moment where it looked done when United upped the offer and personal terms. I already wrote extensively about why Florentino Pérez didn't see the return on Pogba's marketability. His name isn't big enough according to Florentino Pérez in relation to what the cost ended up being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
