DYC. 7,542 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I disagree. Types like Pastore aren't of this age. Pastore is all technique. Tactically, physically and mentally he's lacking for a top player in today's game. He could've been a big player in the 80s/90s though. Ganso is another type like that. Ozil has similar flaws but is much better tactically, which is why he can crush the minnows and function well in a strong unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif 6,006 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I don't know about his current season nor last, but every other season since the very first we were linked to him, he's consistently been Oscar-tier; he vanishes in big games, you get confused about what he offers when he isn't scoring a worldie, and his face is too young for his body, someone should kick him.

I agree. He's a slightly above average player who a couple levels below the sort of player we should be targeting this summer. If he's not good enough for PSG he isn't good enough for us.

This was exactly my opinion when I used to watch him. Back then I would suggest people notice his involvements then ask themselves how many other players they think could do what Pastore just did. For far too much of the time my own answer to that question was, "Loads and loads." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,187 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Made his name with an outrageous piece of skill and has hung around 'the middle of the road' for a long time....We sold a player no better or worse in Oscar, so just stay clear of this guy and use the money to better effect.

The Skipper 20,609 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I don't think anyone is advocating for him to be bought, let's be honest. His injuries have prevented him from becoming a much better player imo. PSG fans absolutely love him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
