3 top bracket CM players when you play 4-2-3-1... pure disaster waiting to happen. I mean we couldn't keep Mata, Schurrle, De Bruyne, Oscar and Willian in the same squad because all 5 were more than good enough to be regulars but yeah lets not learn from our mistakes.

Although Ramires is still a classy player and one of the better MF players in the PL, lets sell him to Juve and sign an up and coming great player who is probably marginally better but not exactly an upgrade on one of Cesc or Matic... yeah man seems like a waste of money.

I am sure the club is looking at someone that can fill Matic's boots. A scenario where Matic is suspended and suddenly Newcastle beat us is just not good. We rely heavily on Matic. Mikel is ver bad despite his goal :yay::yay:

When people say they we someone who can fill Matic's boots when hes not in the team and then name Pogba I am bitterly disappointed to be honest.

Chalobah should have been given a chance when he was at his upmost form a couple seasons ago. He would have only gotten better with better players around him,

Dissapointment? I'd be fuckin living it , but I don't think he'll be replacing Matic. lol

Disappointed because he isn't a similar sort of player, its like saying I want to replace Hazard with Mats Hummels. Pogba plays box to box or sometimes as a more advanced midfield player not as a holding midfield player.

You are right he is more box to box but Pogba can definitely sit if asked to.

Really? Ask Choulo what he thinks of Pogba playing as a sitting midfielder, or other Juventus fans, he prefers to pla

I don't have to, I watch plenty of Pogba I know what he is capable of. He is a footballer first but he can definitely defend when called upon. You put him in a midfield 3 with Cesc and Matic and that is EASILY the best midfield in the world.

In a midfield 3 where he has a holder behind him and another player to share responsibilities with him yes maybe hes fine but in a midfield 2 considering we play with a #10? He'd be a liability in my eyes, very much like Toure with Fernandinho last season.

hardly a liability... I think that is a bit of an exaggeration. He can hold when called upon its just not what he does best.

Hes a bit poor positionally in all honesty, he's a great athlete and has great technique but hes 21 or 22, when you're 21 or 22 you are still learning and can improve on various aspects. I can't see him being a holder.

Poor? LOL... 21 yr old who averages 2 tackles a game with the best team in Serie A while not playing a defensive position is exceptional. There are those who revere Oscar who plays a similar role for us, he gets about 2.5 a game. Pogba is far from poor positionally he is adventurous but that comes with the role of being box to box.

His positioning is dodgy, its not too bad being a box to box midfielder as the sole responsibility of protecting the back 4 isn't on him and Juventus always have 3 central midfield players but imagine him being used as a holding midfielder? He has a lot to improve on positionally.
