Rumoured Paul Pogba

[Tomo 21,751]

Could he have done any less?

Besides setting fire to the training pitches and shitting in a bucket in the youth teams changing areas, what could Jose have done worse with our young players this year?

You are right, i am hoping that will change soon, and the chances he gave to Huth, Mikel and Diarra last time, give me reason to believe it will. He was also slowly bringing Sinclair into the fold before he did in his knee against Man.Utd.

Moreover the same Pogba that some people are now creaming themselves over was an inexperienced youngster that many would have dismissed as "not ready yet" or "not good enough" to improve our midfield immediately before Juventus gave him the opportunity and platform to express himself and he never needed time to establish himself in one of the best midfield tandems in Europe.

You can't praise Juve for giving Pogba the chance and platform to perform how he is at the moment as it would go against everything you're trying to preach. Juve had a talented lad called Luca Marrone, who like Chalobah, is capable of playing as a central midfielder and as a central defender. Instead of giving Marrone a fair chance what did Juve do? They signed Pogba last season which gave him almost no chance of featuring in midfield. The only opportunities that arose were at CB due to injuries/suspension. And even then, any hopes he had of featuring more in this position were dashed in the summer with Juve signing Angelo Ogbonna. It happens all the time at the bigger clubs.

He'll make it at Chelsea....

He has good mentality and work rate. Two aspects Jose loves.

I cant say much about the others, but I fully expect ake to make it in the long run.

Not as a CM.

RLC, Chalobah and Baker are all more talented than him in that position.

Why is this notion that young and inexperienced equal inability to make meaningful impact right away. it's nothing more than a myth and a lazy argument used to dismiss youth integration at the top level. I can name plenty of players who shone brightly and outperformed their more experienced and accomplished competition when introduced into the team at a very young age despite lacking genuine experience at the top level. Fabregas, Casillas, Owen, giggs, Puyol, Raul,Fowler, Wilshere, Beckham and the list goes on and on

What allowed Pogba to shine, is Juve's squad was well balanced, had a player in his peak (Vidal) and a player of great experience (Pirlo) playing next to him.

There is giving youth a chance, then there is turning into an Olympic team.

Also to add for one of those people that you have listed, their is a group like the lads we tried to promote (Kakuta, PVA, Bruma and Kakuta), we still haven't recovered from stripping our squad bare, or when we got tonked 3-0 at home to Sunderland did you say "oh well, atleast our bench was full of our youth cup winning team" ? We promoted 4 young players thinking they were ready, they weren't and we suffered for it, so surely you can understand why some are a bit skeptical of us doing that again, no?

By all means put them in the squad and build their role gradually, but i draw the line at putting them in a position were we could be reliant on them at the age of 18.

Honestly, break the fucking bank for this guy. BREAK THE FUCKING BANK!

Association trained, a fucking BEAST, 21, exactly what we need.

Just do the PSG and make the bid!

with DL going for 50mil ( , still cant believe it) then we should be reinvesting in this guy. pogba/vidal would be immense.

[calculatingInfinity 1,472]

Not good enough defensively, not that fantastic attacking either, honestly baffles me whenever people go nuts over him. He has been good in Serie A but nothing more, in CL he flopped like most of Juve.

He's 21, and showed more than enough potential to improve in both sides of his game.

WHAT??? Have you seen Paul Pogba play? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2CLCbGmdkU

[Pizy 18,864]

Personally think he'll become one of the best players in the world within a few years.

José would work wonders on his game and hold him accountable on both sides of play.
