Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Is he really HG? I read a while back that he left United a few months earlier than required to obtain HG status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar 441 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 PSGa and Juventus should do a swapVerrati for Pogba.bring the italian back to serie a and the frenchman back to ligue 1. Verrati would eventually replace pirlo and pogba would be psg new star in the mid.Pogba-Raibot-CabayeFrench future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYC. 7,542 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Yes, but you'd also want him too develop into a player who is capable of influencing the game at any given moment and consistently helping the performance of the team, not just scoring post card goals. I think he has all that it takes to become a player that is capable of running midfield and controlling the game. That's why I meant by fulfilling his potential of course. I don't know about him running the midfield and controlling the game though. He's not that type of player imo (unless you and I don't share the same definition of controlling the midfield). Lampard for example was never that kind of player but he's a legendary player, in his own way.I see Pogba more as someone who has what it takes to become a great individual, standing out with certain exceptional qualities and with the ability to pop up with decisive moments. Not a playmaker or a midfield general, who will make others around him look better. And he'll always need a free-ish role I think, in that sense he's like Lamps.Basically continuing what he's doing right now, but growing in his decision-making and refining his technique as he ages. His first touch for example is still too hit and miss for me. At times absolutely brilliant, other times very sloppy. He has real potential in his passing as well, but that's also a bit too sloppy. Comes with being 21. Still can't believe he's only 21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYC. 7,542 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Pogba is far more technically superior than Essien ever was, not even debatable. Don't even think you can compare them as players tbh.Yeah, not comparable as players at all. Essien was a super athlete and a absolute powerhouse, tactically very clever as well. Still amazes me how powerful he was with his 5ft10/5ft11 frame. He was like a little building. Great personality as well. Such a shame his time at the top was cut short due to injuries.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 We need a CM to play alongside Matic. Him being HG makes him much more important to us. I don't see a HG player ticking the same boxes at him, but I agree him going to RM, PSG or even Barca (going by rumours) is more probable.We do have Cesc and Pogba can't play in Oscar's position unless we completely change the roles because tactical discipline and defensive work-rate are his biggest weaknesses. PS: Paul Pogba is NOT homegrown. He would have been homegrown had he signed for an English club this season, but he didn't.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2820634/Asmir-Begovic-Bosnia-s-keeper-played-youth-football-Canada-English-Harry-Kane-far-Premier-League-concerned-home-grown-player-rule-stinks.htmlThat's why I meant by fulfilling his potential of course.

Comes with being 21. Still can't believe he's only 21.Yeah, that wasn't the best way to put it on my part but I didn't know how to express what I meant. I didn't mean to control the midfield like Pirlo or Cesc, but rather through his physical presence. Basically just to influence the game more often because right now for large parts of a lot of matches the game just bypasses, especially in defense. He needs to start shining more through team attributes rather than just individual moments of brilliance. I realize that is very tough and often comes at the expense of individual brilliance. But yeah, he is definitely the biggest young talent out there at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the big payout wouldn't be as good after all. He's still a player that would improve our squad in the centre of the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still can't believe he's only 21.Definetly he's not the Pirlos or Verattis because they're born playmakers with that super-quick reaction though I think his passing can reach a fantastic level. Don't know if he can add consistency to it but certainly I've seen signs of some brilliant vision and inventory thinking in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,887 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Rather play Ramires in a 4-3-3 than bother spunking 80-100M or whatever stupid stupid price they will want for him although he'd be lucky if hes even worth 50M.Ramires when he played under AVB as a box to box midfielder in 4-3-3 > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didierforever 7,349 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I think his status went from "wanted" to NEEDED. We need strength in depth. Except for our starting 11 plus a couple other players, we simply don't have any quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illmatic 901 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Special attention on him tomorrow. Until now, I don't saw any good actuation of him in a European big match.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 On other hand he is 22 just yet.You cant expect him to handle games like Yaya,...That said his 80m price is ridiculous. He is young, has giant potential, but shouldnt be more than 60m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I think it's about 50-50 that he leaves this summer. Still believe he'll most likely head to Madrid when he does, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
