Rumoured Paul Pogba

[Melanicus 5,208]

Now watch Man United collapse in the next few seasons, because of too much superstar egos in one team and a manager that attracts controversies and thinks he's reincarnation of Jesus.

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

All my favorite players playing for Chelsea rivals.. First KDB, now Pogba 

Fuck this shit man. If Ruben Neves or Griezmann come to the PL and aren't in Chelsea colors, I don't think I could handle it. 

Everybody is gonna overanalyze every pass Pogba makes, but he is a class player, who possesses so many talents. I fully expect him to take the EPL by storm. 

What an amazing window by Man. United. Ed Woodward, as much as people love to (rightly) make fun of him, has seemingly fixed everything in one window. United had spent 500M Euros on players since SAF retired, and they were no threat to win the PL title. 

The PL titles will most likely be in Manchester for the next 3/4 years. 

The board have got their work cut out for them.

Unrealistic?! Are you serious? You do think they will walk the league with ease don't you. We will see then, at least I don't rate them this high.

I used Mourinho's words, therefore the quotation marks. For me, City have the best squad in the league.

Lol the meltdown on here.

Bailly-Mythrwhatever-Ibra-Pogba. All of that without CL football. I'm jealous.

Hope if we don't win they win it, or maybe another Leicester-like run from some lowly team, but that won't happen anymore.

Citeh are just too soulless for me.

 

City is better to win it. City wins no one cares. United wins, everyone cares. 

I much rather have a no one caring team like City win any day of the week after us.

Looking forward to seeing him kicking it with Fellaini.

Pogba will play as the 7th centreback in Jose's formation.

Just saw some interesting stuff. Did you know that Oscar vs Pogba statistics is almost identical ? 

Oscar: 173 apps, 32 goals, 28 assists, 20 yellow 

Pogba: 179 apps, 33 goals, 29 assists, 26 yellow 

Just don't know how many teams would pay 100m for Oscar?!

Ps: We have a better version of Paul. LoL

[The Skipper 20,609]

Well, it's official. The PR and hype job that adidas have created in relation to this signing is outstanding though, must say. 

 

[Pizy 18,852]

Hopefully this is the signing that forces Roman to pull the finger out and get to signing more players. Maybe he'll think "how will we compete with that!?" and bring in a couple of top players. 

Mourinho is building a ridiculous team. We have to build one too or we'll be left behind.

[Blue_Fox_ 2,086]

 Ridiculous amount of money though. That team needs to be feared.

Let's get a CB and LB and I'd fancy our chances against them.
It could've been us 1 year ago. *sigh*

[Beepu 1,714]

Well, we can't have all the superstars. We have Hazard as our world class talent. I'm still surprised Madrid didn't try to sign him, seemed like a classic Galactico signing. 

Hope he doesn't do too well for utd. The price is crazy though, I know about the inflated fee and all but does he really have that much to his game to justify even a portion of that fee?

That's all I've kept thinking to myself the past two days. 

Damn. 

And now Man. United have 2 of the most marketable footballing talents not named Messi and Ronaldo, in Martial and Pogba. Such a great look for their brand. 

This PL season is boutta be lit af. If only we had a serious shout at winning the damn league.

Those stats don't say anything because Pogba was playing a different role than Oscar was. Oscar was often a playmaker on the ten or sometimes a winger, and should have a higher goal and assist tally in 173 apps in that position. Although his goal and assist tally actually isn't that bad, I thought it'd be lower. Contributed to 60 goals in 173 games, that's more than 1 in 3.

Pogba plays deeper and more as a CM, and has an equal goal and assist tally. Plus if you'd put in interceptions, successful tackles, aerial duels won and pass percentage I'm afraid Oscar would look far from as good as you try to make him shine out with those stats compared to Pogba (I know you weren't serious).

But, wether you look at the stats or just viewing experience joy/intuition/... I still find Pogba seriously overpriced. But hasn't that already been said a 1000 times?
